GNR GLASGOW REVIEW!!
Here I go...bare with me..
Fri 21st July.
Oh fuck. It's 4am....ah back to bed. 7am. Get up. Get washed leave house at 11am. Get to secc at 2pm...Here we go.
Oh hell only 8 people here? I think..is that? alistair! Hell I didn't notice him at first! Anyway a lot of people soon become my friends..well all except 'Aids boy' who is at the front obsessed with erm aids...Anyway Sandra a beautiful girl who talked and let us listen to some gnr...and she soon would become a part of the show...Charlotte was at the front on the queue, well she had been there since 5am....Lisa a pure Bullet for my valentine fan, writes bfmv on the bin and in playdoh and has a signed bfmv t-shirt..her friend steven wants everyone's babies (later on...) Emma!!! Amazing! got on the gnr tour bus!!!! brilliant!!! she stole two t-shirts and their food! way hey! and says the bus driver she met says axl is an asshole but he gets paid loads and now we wait...and wait...at least we have a nice security guard, steve to talk too who saw motley crue in edinburgh in 86...he rocked. and we saw bfmv's padge (jay) in the entry door.
7pm....
Doors still not open (so much for 6:30pm) Get a free towers of london poster!! or in Alistair's case a free sign...' Axl you are my inspiration' and 'Aids boy' makes a 'I want your aids sign'. Nice.
7:20pm
Doors open...RUN!!! some stupid security say stop (yeah right) FRONT ROW! with alistair next to me. we wait.
7:30pm
THE TOWERS OF LONDON! Yeah! They rock the arena (which isn't really full at this point) but their presence and songs simply rock glasgow's socks off. Donny is such a great frontman and his swagger is simply rocking. Dirk and tommy are jumping everywhere will the rev is being a human fountain. Fuck it up is te best song of the set since everyone is singing the words. A brilliant gig. Can't wait to see them again.
8pm
Everyone: BULLET Lisa: for my valentine! Everyone: BULLET Lisa: for my valentine. etc, etc. Wow. Matt tuck acts like a rock god..He rocks in front of me and alistair. As does padge (jay), who smiles and winks at us lot when steve (lisa's mate) screams PADGE I WANT YOUR BABIES!!! They deserved to be on the bill..however they brill gig was to turn sour as some dickhead (not steven <3) behind me became a sexist ned. I'll get it over with. HE FELT MY ASS....and soaked the girl beside me. The security asked if we wanted to chuck him out. We just said move him.
8:45pm The sexist ned says sorry he is just hot and hyper. and he thanks us for not chucking him out. Alas I soon would go crazy. (sorry alistair)
9pm
We see the gnr setlist appear on the tv screens...rhiad?? Lisa says two minutes till the come on..
9:30pm...
Yeah two minutes...
9:45pm
Had at least 60 cups of water. and now the booing begins....
10:10pm
oh it's dark...let's chant GUNS N ROSES. GUNS N ROSES! GUNS N BANG! Fireworks! Dizzy, Robin, Frank (filling in for brain), Richard, bumblefoot (or as axl will call him the spineshank redemption), tommy, chris and W. Axl rose appear!! Holy! Yes welcome to the jungle and oh dear..hell breaks loose. About 100 of people get thrown over the barrier and chucked out (including 'Aids boy') and I'm getting crushed. Luckly a nice axl rose lookalike is behind me (and not arse feeling ned) and says sorry. I've lost steven. and alistair is getting attacked by surfers. By the end of the second song (brownstone I think) Axl is clever and tells everyone to move back...ah space. Axl gets an applause and he deserves it. Then rambles on about how he should shut up and signing more songs cause he's a fucker apprantly. More songs, scom and better go down a treat. And now...Argh! Someone tries to throw water! Axl muses: Ya MISSED! and for some reason cleans the floor with a towel on his foot...and now A bra has been thrown on stage!!! And axl is wearing it! " you damn mad scottish people' got that right, mate. The Blues come on and axl is jumping on the piano like a madman..robin gives me a drink of water and I throw it over me and erm alistair nearly destorying his camera (sorry :/) anyway, Then axl blah on about 'and now from the u.s.of a...Me: Alistair...Alistair:....Me: ALISTAIR!!! Alistair: huh? ME: IT'S IZZY FUCKING STRADLIN!!! Alistair: Fuck yeah! Izzy comes on and join axl for the song nightrain and finally Axl notices Alistair's 'axl you're my inspiration' sign! Woot! he smiles. finally notice that richard and dizzy are topless...yeah...so they finish with the encore paradise city. Fireworks go off, confetti, an amazing show. Frank aka brain no two runs between the front row and stage. I shake his hand Saying great show! He says: Thanks, Never thought I'd be doing this! Wow. The crowd clears me and Alistair find Sandra and Charlotte. Sandra: HE WORE MY BRA!! Me: Wow! awesome! (see told ya) That was amazing. Me and Alistair find our way to the merch table via a sea of cups and odd shoes. We meet Emma again who is exhuasted. Me and Alistair walk to a hotel so alistair can be picked up. We hug and say goodbye. I wait in a car park for dad and see steven and lisa. They are knacked aswell and we say our goodbyes and say we will keep in touch. Dad comes. And we end up getting lost and I get home at 2:30am..and have to wake up at 7am. For a scottish ' lets go meet other family' dunoon hoilday for two weeks...but that's another story...
