Guns N' Roses, NYC Show Met With Mixed Results

www.noisecreep.com:

Twenty-four years, four albums and countless lineup changes ago, Guns N' Roses played the Ritz in New York City. MTV's cameras caught the then-ascendent group in action, and the performance achieved legendary status, eventually making its way to DVD. Last night (Feb. 15), as GNR returned to the venue for the last of this month's three NYC club gigs, the question was how Axl Rose -- the lone remaining member from that 1988 incarnation -- would mark the occasion. He might have followed the 'Live at the Ritz' setlist, or better yet, he could have snuck in OG sidemen Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan or Steven Adler, musicians he'll supposedly reunite with in April at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The haters will always hate. I saw Guns n Roses this past November, and I was blown away. 3 hours of non stop music. Axl is Axl. As good as he ever was. If you have a problem with the late start, then, arrive later.
The performance was one of the very best I have ever seen, and, I am no spring chicken. I have been going to concerts since 1969. I have seen most anyone you can imagine, and, Axl still has got it. Axl is Guns n Roses.

i was at Sunday's show and it was amazing. i was hesitant at first, but Axl is still an amazing showman. still sways like he used to, and can still run around for 3 strait hours. The songs were great, each getting better then the one before. it obviously wasn't the same without duff, slash, & Matt, but you can teach someone to play an instrument like someone else, you cant always learn to sound like someone else. I read & heard alot of ignorant people assuming how the show was, but they werent there. 99% of us there had the time of our lives.

Exactly. There were no mixed results at the show. The band & audience was on fire all night. Incredible.
