bad start though, missed the first 4-5 songs. Got an email beforehand saying "get there on time for increased security". I thought, sod that, I'm not bothered about the support band. Ended up queuing half hour in the rain to get through a double layer of security. Well, hard to blame anyone in the circumstances.
Inside, despite minimal promotion the grubby shed was full, about 1500 I think. Set list is here if you are interested. A lot I wasn't familiar with but it all roared along at a belting pace, even Slash's 10-12 minute solo. If you didn't know Axel Rose existed you'd say Myles Kennedy is a damn fine vocalist. Crowd a mix of young nutters and grizzly older rockers (a lot of them in CZ). Probably not as mental as you guys are used to, because its harder for band when most of the crowd isn't so fluent in English, they can't roar back the lyrics at you. No chance of finding my friends there, I went to the back and found myself standing next to someone I recognised; the Czech Republic's most intelligent right wing eurosceptic politician! he too was on his own, but he was definitely "on it". Imagine yourself going to a Slash concert in a shed like that in England, and finding yourself next to Michael Gove, obviously running on a line of coke, and you get the picture. Utterly surreal and so very Prague.

Pass the mind bleach!!
Still I doubt anyone would notice if you gave him a few sly digs in the ribs. Be rude not to!
Why do you look at me when you hate me Why should I look at you when you make me hate you to I sense a smell of retribution in the air I don't even understand why the fuck you even care And I don't need your jealousy yeah Why drag me down in your misery And when you stare don't you think I feel it But I'm gonna deal it back to you in spades When I'm havin' fun ya know I can't conceal it 'Cause I know you'd never cut it in my game- Oh no And when you're talkin' about a vasectomy- Yeah I'll be writin' down your obituary- HISTORY
You got your bitches with the silicone injections Crystal meth and yeast infections Bleached blond hair, Collagen lip projections Who are you to criticize my intentions Got your subtle manipulative devices Just like you I got my vices I got a thought that would be nice I'd like to crush your head tight in my vice- PAIN!!
And that goes for all you punks in the press That want to start shit by printin' lies instead of the things we said That means you Andy Secher at Hit Parader Circus Magazine Mick Wall at Kerrang Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin, What you pissed off cuz your dad gets more pussy than you? Fuck you Suck my fuckin' dick
You be rippin' off the fuckin' kids While they be payin' their hard earned money to read about the bands They want to know about Printin' lies startin' controversy You wanta antagonize me Antagonize me motherfucker Get in the ring motherfucker And I'll kick your bitchy little ass PUNK
I don't like you, I just hate you I gonna kick your ass, Oh yeah! Ohyeah!
You may not like our integrity yeah We built a world out of anarchy Oh yeah!
AND IN THIS CORNER WEIGHING IN AT 850 POUNDS- GUNS N' ROSES
Get in the ring Yeah
Yeah this song is dedicated to All the Guns n'fuckin' Roses fans Who stuck with us through all the Fucking shit And to all those opposed... Hmm...well
Was one of the highlight reel moments from my young adult life 16 and ready to fight the world
This used to be my battle cry to take on the world when I was 16 as well. Reading it now Axl just sounds like an overpaid undertaxed drugged up diva having a tantrum. Maybe he should just man the **** up.

I reccomend Nightwish who are playing at the Tipsort arena in Prague in 2 weeks i think, quite theatrical but if you like hard rock you may enjoy.
I think Myles is good but he hasn't got much of a stage presence going from when i have seen him with his other band.
@SamB09 Great tip, thanks, I quite like them. Don't think I can persuade the wife though. Seem to remember reading that the legendary vocalist on their biggest songs has left the band.
The shed where Slash played is right behind the Tipsport Arena. The Tipsport is the ice hockey stadium where Sparta play, and i think the shed (which is laughably called the Incheba Arena) was previously a practice arena for ice hockey.
You'd kind of expect that Slash would play in the bigger arena and Nightwish the smaller one, but in this part of Europe things are never what you expect...

Make you right about Myles
The new singer is very good, check out some youtube videos with her. They are popular and much more known in mainland Europe, i think most, if not all of the venues are arenas on their tour.Seeing them at Wembley in a few weeks, should be good.
