GUNS N' ROSES: Review Of U.S. Tour Opener Available

October 25, 2006

Leslie Gray Streeter of PalmBeachPost.com reviewed the opening show of GUNS N' ROSES U.S. tour, which kicked off last night at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. An excerpt from her review follows:

"Before we commence to embarrasingly gushing over last night's GUNS N' ROSES'Chinese Democracy' tour opener at Sunrise's BankAtlantic Center, it is necessary to grant Axl Rose a strict finger-wagging. It is completely inexusable to make your fans wait more than an hour after the last opening act for you to deign to come onstage at 11:20 p.m. Especially since the bulk of your demographic is in their late 20s and early 30s, have jobs and/or families, and are going to be completely wiped out and useless at work this morning because your portion of the show didn't end until 1:30 a.m. So, shame, shame, shame.

"However, the show was pretty much the most exciting, gut-pumping, lighter-flicking thing seen so far this year in South Florida. Yes, it's true — long the butt of jokes for his stage shennagins, band line-up shuffling, creative hairdo and long-delayed pet project, frontman Axl Rose and his reconstituted GUNS delivered a more than two-hour set that covered most of their older hits and at least one newer number.

"The relaxed, friendly and cheerfully profane Rose admitted to being a little worse for wear following some debauched evenings in Miami ('I'd like to know where I was in the wee hours of this morning'),which may have explained his many departures from the stage to allow various bandmembers solos that occassionally slowed the evening down."
