Axl Rose - Still Reassuring, Even Underwater
Guns N' Roses just played four sold out shows in New York. Though they won't be coming this way anytime soon, I think it is reassuring to know that they are out there. Knowing that Axl and the band are performing somewhere in the world gives me the same feeling as every time I glance down at the bottom of my firefox window and see the picture of Abe Vigoda, indicating that he is still alive.
The MP3s that have surfaced of the show are not the best quality, but I've posted the new songs from the show on the fifteenth below, just in case you've missed them so far. Also, Sebastian Bach of Skid Row joined Axl to sing My Michelle, Dizzy Reed got a chance to shine playing a piano solo of The Beatles "Something" and each guitarist got to indulge in song length "Eruption" style guitar solos. Brooklyn Vegan has some terrific photos of the show on the 12th. This one is my favorite. Halfway unbuttoned leather jacket and sunglasses at night indoors underneath a projected stained glass window. God, it's like looking into a mirror...

Actually Guns N Roses will be coming out here soon enough. They are scheduked to headline the KROQ Inland Invasion which is in September I believe.

These ornate brass lockbusters looked like they opened the door to a secret garden× or maybe Bluebeard's worst room! It was like receiving a box of jewels.

"Okay lady," he says. We say our goodbyes inside MGM.

HeÒs impressed by how many people are keen to attend public talks and debates at the moment.
