    You won't regret it. They nailed they setlist for me. Didn't play Fuel for a start, and the only additional song I would have like to see was Hit The Lights. But did get Seek & Destroy & Battery, so I can't complain ...

    I wasn't aware they were heavily restricted on what they could play in China. Hetfield gave a great interview on that. Media were trying to really stir shit up about due to the censoring etc etc and I think were expecting fuck you style response, but he just said ..

    “Why shouldn’t you respect their culture when you’re there as a guest and you’ve been invited to play? We want to be respectful, and just because we do things differently, it doesn’t mean it should be forced upon [others]. But hopefully we’ll keep coming back and they’ll realise we’re not a threat politically and we have no agenda except to cross boundaries with music and let people enjoy the songs. We’re not trying to bring a secret message to anybody.”

    I guess I'm lucky in that the opinions of swarthy creeps with bad facial hair, pink shirts and rats tails don't bother me too much. It was a case of spot the person NOT on their phone. Just the way things are these days. I expect similar wankery from @Hooroo this Saturday hopefully minus the rain.

    Axl looks just like Donald Trump these days. It's quite eerie. They opened with 'it's so easy' which no one guessed during the pre drinks but rocked straight into ' Mr Brownstone' after that. They did all the big hits ( except 'Patience' which didn't bother me as I think it's a crap song ) predictiably finishing with 'November Rain' and 'Paradise City' and completely bringing the house down. The gig was fucken brilliant although with the wind and sound issues there were a couple of crackly moments. Nice of Slash to give the other guitarist some leads and Duff sung a song too ( he's a bloody solid bass player ) Axls voice was amazingly almost as good as ever.

    I still hate 'Knocking on heaven's door' but that gave me ample time to have a piss. Things didn't wrap up til nearly 12 so I'm expecting a few strongly worded comments on Stuff.co.nz complaining about that. Bloody good getting a park on Thorndon Quay too.

    I expect if I did that, the feed would only be of Kylie and I bitchin and moaning how long the drink queues are......
    Although apparently in Daimond area, there are stalls just for people in that area which would be sweet child of mine!

    Looking forward to it. Was kind of surprised that it look like a predominately older crowd?

    There was all ages really. Gotta remember that a 20 something year old who bought Appetite for Destruction ( still the biggest selling debut album of all time ) is 50 odd now.

    Bucket List item: climbed Mt Kosciuszko with the family. Its not very challenging, but a 12km walk in freezing wind was quite the task for both the wife and kids. The boy went out hard and hit the wall on the way back. Hopefully he learned something.

    @taniwharugby he would want to erase the memory of getting whipped by his little sister in the walk back, while he cried like a little bitch.

    @MN5 Just looked at the setlist. That's a lot of covers, although I'd be interested to hear songs 19 and 24 on the list (avoiding spoilers). I'm sure they will end up on YouTube.

    There is one notable omission of a crowd favourite too.

    Yeah, taking fashion tips from a feral who wears op shop suits to the races to try and look classy and sophisticated next to Queensland mongrels whilst sipping cheap champagne doesn't really work.
