Anyone else going tomorrow? I'm walking 1km from my hotel to Minute Maid unarmed, so I may not make it back alive.

I am pretty sure I bought three tickets, but can't remember where the latter pair of tickets came from, so I can't list the un-needed ones.

I'm staying at a Marriott within walking distance, under a mile. I'm driving in a couple hours before, and hope I can be the grey man with everyone else parking in the area for the walk to/from.

When I saw GNR in '19? I was supremely pissed. Axl had a warm up period, but when he got going... FTW, you kept this from us for two decades!!! I will not miss another because they're all going to die (except for the Rolling Stones) per my namesake.

What? I'm not sure if you're serious, but downtown Houston is fine. Especially from the Marriott.

Right? My wife and I have walked all over downtown Houston. I've never felt unsafe there. Don't make eye contact with the homeless and they won't bother you

I saw them at the Alamodome Tuesday night. Axl sounded amazing on some songs & was off on others. Axl was smiling, seemed happy, & was all over the stage. They must have him on the good meds. Slash is the real star. He is an amazing guitarist & still doesn’t get enough credit for how great he is. They play well over 3 hours.

Get there early for Alice In Chains. Layne Staley is irreplaceable but William Duvall is about as good as you are going to get in his place. He & Jerry sound great together. Have fun.

We don’t want to miss any of AIC. Tickets say show starts at 6:00. We’re going to try to be in the arena at 6:00 but you know how shite goes with people coming from out of town. In your opinion based off the last show, what time would you say AIC will start?

They started right at 6pm. If you are wanting to buy merchandise get there when the doors open. The lines are insane.

MMP is acoustically terrible, but it was a fantastic show!

The show was awesome. They sure as hell didn't mail it in. Slash definitely stole the show but Axl can still bring it. Great fricking show. The played for 3+ hours and hit all the songs I wanted to hear except Coma but I didn't expect that.

Ah, don’t tell me that. That would have been over the top. I sing every word to every song except some of the new shite. The even played some Velvet Revolver which shows Axl ego has lessened. I loved it.

How was Axl’s voice? And how hot is Melissa Reese? I’m not sure exactly what all she is doing up there other than backing vocals on a few songs but she looks great doing whatever she is doing back there.

Axls voice was damn strong on most songs. He struggled through a few and then would blow the doors off the next.

Melissa Reese is fine as wine. Smoking fine. I guess her sole purpose is as a fine arse woman with the ability to back a song.
