I ventured to New York City this past weekend to see Guns N’ Roses. If you haven’t been to New York, you are missing out! The city streets are full of life, everyone is racing through the city at a furious pace, and the sites (e.g., Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Museum of Modern Art, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, etc.) are like nothing I have experienced before. But the real fun occurred Sunday night, when we showed up at the Hammerstein ballroom to see Axl Rose take the stage for the second night of his four night stint at the Hammerstein ballroom.
Axl Rose took the stage at 11:02pm, and bellowed out an amazing version of “Welcome to the Jungle” to start the show. Axl and his band then proceeded to play a wide variety of hits including “Paradise City,” “November Rain,” “Patience,” “My Michelle,” “Mr. Brownstone,” “Nightrain,” and my personal favorite “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” I was definitely stoked that Axl showed up, since he has a past history of getting pissed and not showing up for concerts. The show was absolutely amazing, the folks we met in line were cool as s@!*, and the entire New York experience was incredible. If New York was cheaper, I would move there tomorrow!
