Ok. I'm a convert.
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.

Still I doubt anyone would notice if you gave him a few sly digs in the ribs. Be rude not to!

This used to be my battle cry to take on the world when I was 16 as well.nth london addick said:"Get In The Ring"
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
Reading it now Axl just sounds like an overpaid undertaxed drugged up diva having a tantrum. Maybe he should just man the **** up.0 -
Was a big fan in the late 1980s early 90s. This is still one of the best live sets they've ever done.

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.PragueAddick said:Ok. I'm a convert.

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 Myles0 -

If you've never heard of Myles Kennedy's main band Alterbridge, their Blackbird Album is a classic

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.PragueAddick said:@SamB09 Great tip, thanks, I quite like them.

They sound very good. Axl has lost quite a bit of weight and got his voice back on track0
