They did a good version of their one big hit <i>Buddy Holly<\/i> and the biggest cheer they for was for the line &#8220;Welcome to the Jungle&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>There was close on an hour wait after they ended but man was it worth it. The show kicked off with <i>Welcome to the Jungle<\/i> and they just kept going. We got four songs straight off the bat ending with <i>Live and Let Die<\/i> it just rocked. Then we got <i>You Could be Mine<\/i>, <i>Sweet Child O&#8217; Mine<\/i> and <i>Knockin&#8217; On Heavens Door<\/i> and you really just can&#8217;t ask for anything more than that. It was in a word <b>awesome<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>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 <i>November Rain<\/i>. The entire night was pretty much greatest hits with a couple of new songs and a great version of <i>Paradise City<\/i> for the encore.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh come on, that was always going to be the title.
