Brutal review of yesterday's local Guns n' Roses concert.

Quote:

Guns N’ Roses stepped onto the Fillmore Silver Spring stage a few ticks after midnight on Friday morning and didn’t pack it up until 3:04 a.m.

It wasn’t a rock concert. It was a hostage situation.

Where did these guys even find the gall to call themselves Guns N’ Roses? Led by the band’s only original member, frontman Axl Rose, this unfocused eight-man crew pranced and preened with the enthusiasm and talent of a tribute band. For three torturous hours, the guys sucked the life force from some of the most anthemic rock songs ever written — “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Paradise City” and “November Rain” among them.

To call it a train wreck wouldn’t be right. Train wrecks are fast and violent. This was like being stuck in gridlock traffic behind a garbage truck in August.

Feeling good about my Axl Rose play in the death pool.

Rolling Stones
Guns n Roses
INXS

have all become their own cover bands / tribute shows.

Sad, but even washed up rock stars have to earn a living somehow, I guess.

Oh dude. INXS was never anything without Michael.

I don't mind. I understand that musically maybe they're not the best band ever. Their music gives me a kick though. (See what I did there?) Makes me want to dance!

Funny, I mentioned this to him when I talked to him last night and he was all like "I didn't know you saw them" and I'm like "uh DUH...you were the one who told me to go" and he didn't remember. Ha!

INXS isn't the only Australian band I've loved...The Little River Band will always have a special place in my heart. It's maybe considered silly, but I love that stuff!

And rock-wise, who can deny AC/DC?

Aliantha · 02-25-2012, 06:34 PM

There'd be less of a need for them to still do shows when they're old and past it if they didn't snort, guzzle and shoot up all their profits in their hey day. (or is that hay day? hmmm...interesting)

ZenGum · 02-25-2012, 07:02 PM

True, but then, what would be the point of being a rock star?

Aliantha · 02-25-2012, 07:03 PM

The music?

After weeks of searching i just gave up on finding a missing check, opened email to ask the person to resend, looked down, and there it was peeking out of an envelope in a pile of empty envelopes.

It always works this way, problem is sometimes that makes me want to give up too early.
