Oh come on, that was always going to be the title. Guns N’ Roses tonight in the London Arena were fucking awesome. Not much to say about the support Weezer, they just were not a good band to have support Guns N’ Roses and they knew it. They even commented about feeling out of place. They did a good version of their one big hit Buddy Holly and the biggest cheer they for was for the line “Welcome to the Jungle”.
There was close on an hour wait after they ended but man was it worth it. The show kicked off with Welcome to the Jungle and they just kept going. We got four songs straight off the bat ending with Live and Let Die it just rocked. Then we got You Could be Mine, Sweet Child O’ Mine and Knockin’ On Heavens Door and you really just can’t ask for anything more than that. It was in a word awesome.
Then we got a couple of new songs which I liked the sound of a lot and then a piano was wheeled out for Axel. There was a couple of minutes fooling around on it and then to roars of approval we got November Rain. The entire night was pretty much greatest hits with a couple of new songs and a great version of Paradise City for the encore.
All in all a great gig and a really great night. Next time they play London I will be there and I will be picking up the new album.
