highvoltage Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 What to expect?Expect one of the greatest nights of your life so far, especially if you've never been to a concert before. The atmosphere is incredible, and you can get lost in the music... you just don't want it to end.Soak it in, and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCG Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) Just have a read around the concerts section etc. and download some bootlegs and videos Also on a slightly different note, I wonder how many people are going to go these shows expecting the old lineup etc. There must be people going who have no idea about CD or anything past '93/'94. I mean, I don't think there's much saying that it's a completely different lineup and when I saw a TV advert for the Wembley shows, all the footage was old stuff of Axl, mainly from '87, '88, '91 Edited July 19, 2006 by lcg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be an amazing night, but I'm still nervous about the atmosphere around the mosh pit, what to wear, whether or not I'm going to be deaf for a couple of days, how gutted I'll be if Axl decides to walk off the stage (please no!), whether I'll be able to breathe or whether I'll be jammed up against a sweaty overweight man in too tight jeans...

Know what I mean? Stop worrying! Wear sensible clothes, like a t-shirt, jeans, enclosed shoes... If a mosh pit gets too rough up the front, remember that you can always move further back without great difficulty. If it's a huge concern for you, just don't go up the front to begin with.Think about having fun, not about what could go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite unnerving, but I know it'll be an amazing night and I can't wait.. Is Ron Thal really as good as everyone says live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November_rain Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Also...after the concert ends you´ll feel a bit pissed off because you want more and more . The band is awesome live, you´ll never forget because it will be an amazing night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
