Guns n Roses

I just got home now at approximately 0300 from the Guns and Roses concert. It was a pretty good concert once they got Axel Rose's volume adjusted properly. For the first number of songs you could hardly hear a word he was singing. They played all of their classics like Patience, November Rain, Sweet Child of Mine and so on and then a few new ones that I'd never heard before. Hearing them takes me back a number of years and makes me think of home and my old friends back there. It was more fun for my brother who has wanted to see them for ever. I practically had to carry him home....too many Saddledome beer (aka heroin beer)!! Anyway, it was a fun night with a fun bunch of friends!

Sebastian Bach (formerly of Skid Row) opened for Axel and he was really fantastic. He has such an amazing voice and can hit the most incredibly high notes. He was also a bit more interactive with the crowd than Axel was.

I must say that the highlight of the night for me was when Bubbles (yes, Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys of back home) came on to the stage to sing one of his songs with Axel Rose. Apparantly Axel had visited Bubbles Bar back east and met him and invited him to come along on tour with him! They sang Bubbles' most famous song, Liquor and Whores! I actually know the words to that song...how sad is that! I just blame it on being from back east!!
