*****Sorry I was drunk by the time Axl sauntered out - those $10 beers - the rum and shooters we snuck in.....but I guess the alternative was not to tape...
I behaved the last time Axl was in town and kept my shit together whilst taping....******
From the Web:
Notes: "Ottawa..... You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby! You're gonna die!"
After Live And Let Die, Axl says the reason GN'R recorded the song back in the 90s was because the L.A. Times said it sucked. So Axl thought they should hear it a few more times.
Frank gets to play the Rocket Queen intro a second time after the song ends thanks to Tommy asking for it.
During Nightrain, DJ jumps down from the stage and plays part of the song in the crowd.
Opening acts: Sebastian Bach, Danko Jones
Review: Guns N' Roses in Ottawa
By Peter Simpson Mon, Feb 1 2010 COMMENTS(26) The Big Beat
"Is he an only child," the 20-something woman asks about Axl Rose, who by this point on Sunday at Scotiabank Place has kept 8,000 fans waiting for almost
90 minutes. "Hurry the f-ck up man, people are waiting," says the young woman, who, like her mother standing next to her, has a sloshing cup of frothy
draught beer in her hand. “I’ve wanted to see this show for 20 years,” her mother says. So what’s another half hour?
Axl Rose has made such a business of keeping fans waiting that they'd probably be disappointed if he did show up on time. It was almost midnight when he
took the stage here a few years ago. It was 11:15 p.m. Sunday when he finally appeared with his latest version of Guns N’ Roses – though calling it that
seems silly, liking watching Paul McCartney and pretending you saw the Beatles. Not that the fans seem to mind, as they often roared “GUNS-AND-ROSES!”
during the two-hour-and-45-minute set, a performance so long that it started in one month and ended in another.
It began with Chinese Democracy, and the song, like the album of the same name that was 13 years or so in the making, hardly seemed worth the wait. None
of the songs that Rose has written since Slash and Izzy Stradlin left the band can stand with the earlier work. No better evidence was needed than the
skittering guitar line that told the crowd the next song was Welcome to the Jungle, the monster from their 1987 breakthrough album Appetite for Destruction.
This was the trade-off that fans got all night long – a song from 2008’s Chinese Democracy and then a song from the back catalogue. Next came 1987’s It’s
So Easy, complete with chest-constricting explosions on stage, and then another vintage GNR track, Mr. Brownstone. “The show usually starts around
seven/?We go on stage around nine,” the song goes. Who says Rose has no sense of humour?
Rose seemed in high spirits, running full-out from one wing of the large stage to the other, rather impressively for a 47-year-old man who’s had his share
of decadent living. He was talkative, too. After one of many wardrobe changes he told us he’d ripped his pants. “I blew my ass out.” This knowledge made it
a bit scarier when he tried that serpentine shuffle he used to do so well back in the day, when he was younger and more limber.
They played Sorry and Better, two more from Chinese Democracy, before guitarist Richard Fortus kicked into Live and Let Die. This cover of McCartney’s song
has long been a highlight of any GNR show, but the limitations of Rose’s voice were uncharacteristically apparent. He can still twist out that raspy howl,
but his vocal cords, which serve an intensely demanding master, were crapping out on the high end, and elsewhere.
Sweet Child o’ Mine was his greatest test. Rose, in yet another new shirt, audibly clipped the first “whooaaaaaa, sweet child o’ mine,” but the crowd picked
up the vocal slack quick enough.
The crowd was into it, though by 12:30 Monday morning it was a long way from 8 p.m., when most fans had arrived to see openers Danko Jones and Sebastian
Bach. By 1:00 some fans were putting on their coats and leaving, thinking about work in a few hours, no doubt. Too bad. They missed Bubbles, from Trailer
Park Boys, and they missed Guns’ classics such as the ballistic You Could Be Mine, Patience, and Paradise City, which closed the show at 2 a.m.
Rose stuck around and served shots of booze to a couple of fans down front. It was like he didn’t want to leave, and why would he? He’s a classic rocker,
and if there’s one thing Ottawa loves more than politics, it’s classic rock.
