I saw Guns 'n Roses at the O2 on Wednesday, but before the usual close ups, I was amazed by how much kit they used! Only some of it was in this shot. I counted 4 sound mixing desks, 3 light control desks, 1 pyro control unit, 2 video mixing desks, 8 gas control valves to produce huge sheets of flame, and a huge number of vari-lights -Oh, and a HUGE sound system!
Guns 'n Roses have a well found reputation for-going on late,Axel throwing hissy fits, and having arguments with the audience, management and security staff. None of that happened! They were only 30 minutes late-and that caught a lot of people out out, so a lot of folk were still in the bar, when they started "Early"!!
Axel's voice has all that cutting edge that he is so famous for...the songs could have come off a CD...BUT his stage presence energy and the stage-show really made it something special!
Guns 'n Roses have had more band members than the population of a small European state!
This shot is Axel with one of his 3 lead guitarists.
What got me about this guy-Richard Fortus-was how much he looked like a young Ronnie Wood.
A truly amazing night-great music, no hissy fits, and apart from missing my train home-so I finally got to bed at 3:15 in the morning a perfect evening
