So....posting from Vancouver. Saw G&R last night at BC Place. Had heard a LOT of stuff about how badly Axls voice had gotten and that Slash wasn't what he once was etc.
Well that stuff simply isnt true. A couple times there were spots where 30 years ago Axl would have hit really high notes but last night didnt even try. That was just fine because the rest of his game is on top form. The energy and crowd engagement was top notch. The guys played for 3 full hours and never missed a beat.
Maybe it was lower expectations and that's why I enjoyed it entirely but Slash is still inhuman at times and the band is pure rock and roll. Highly recommend if thinking about catching them in Edmonton.
Alice in Chains is a different story. Sound was awful...guys looked robotic and rather disengaged. Sound quality may have had something to so with it too and the front man tried like hell...but really didnt click.
