...fantastic reaction to the album. the people that had never heard before said that it was awesome.

listening to the entire album...i couldn't believe how appropriate prostitute was as a closer...the perfect fit.

has anybody else gone to one of these things?? boston was fun, crowd was into the songs, some chick was out of her mind dancing, and free appetizers! yum.

Great stuff - wish there was something like that in Oz near me

Good to hear the positive reaction from people that had never heard any of the stuff.

ya i got my shirt. pretty cool...could do without the best buy logo though.
if i had to guess i'd say there were between 150-200 people... the room was pretty well packed.

lots of clapping and cheering between songs. big ovations for twat, street of dreams, cd. every song was applauded, no flops.

no merch was available, but you could enter a drawing to win a trip to see gnr anywhere in the world next year...didnt win though.

I hope to God it's not that Mr. Brownstone on Letterman last night.

I wanted to shoot myself in the head last night. I guess Letterman played it for laughs, but the band sucks. I've seen better artists on YouTube, and hell... I can sing 10 times more like Axl than the fucking guy last night.

If you're going to be in a tribute band - at least be the best you can be at it.
