I got there about 10PM. I may have been the only person smart enough to know better. There was a line down the streets at 7PM, when the doors were supposed to open. They let people in at 9...
The band was unbeleivable. Really takented, really rocking. 3 guitar players all very good. All did a solo alone on the stage during the show. Even Bumble was impressive, doing a solo version of Don't Cry, with no one else on-stage, just his guitar.
It smelled in there... Really bad, BO, ass, puke, pot you name it. I was overwhelmed by odor.
Axl was alright. They must've played about two hours... There wass pyro and the band really was good. I can't say that enough. Alot of agression. I was right at the stage, and one of the guitar players just suddenly on top of us playing... This dude is crazy. It wasn't bumble Bee or the kid from NYC... It's the really tall hippie looking guy... The new stuff was much better than I expected... You never know what live new stuff is gonna be like. It was cool, that the band played with passion, no reservations... I saw Lars and Danny from Metallica watching the show from the side...
Sebastian Bach's band sucked. They were on when I got there, I walked outside 3 times, it was disgusting... He did do Michelle with Axl, which I expected. It wasn't like a Dave Matthews or Justin Timberlake moment with The Stones, thank god, but still, who needs him?
Tommy Stinson looked so stoned. But the dude can play. When Axl intro'd him, he said and the greatest "Replacement" on bass... It was cool. I still think of him as Bob Stinsons (RIP) little 14 year old brother on bass... I booked out of there right before the last song. It was already 130 Am. I got home real quick, since freeway wise I'm exit to exit to and from the Warfield. Which was cool... 5 mins travel time each way... I got to sleep about 230 0r 300 and was snatched from slumber at 7 am... Not a great review, but i'll say this. I'm glad i went, and would see these guys again, just not so soon, not going to tonights show... Oh, and it was loud. Really loud...My ears are still ringing...
Ask me questions, b/c I'm all fuzzy right now...
