I laugh when people who claim to know of Axl Rose still complain that he's... well... Axl.

*cough*

Axl Rose played at the ACC last night.  Played? Sang?  Is there any point in referring to him as Guns n' Roses anymore?  Who cares.  It was a great show.  A die hard fan, I had very few problems with waiting until something like 11:30 for Axl to show up.  I also was not too disappointed that he doesn't look the way he did twenty years ago, doesn't snakewhip across the stage... even the greats need to slow down at some point, and I would rather see less snakewhipping and less running around than less show.  He played until 2:00 a.m.  Say what you will, but I quite enjoyed that a rock concert not only didn't start early, but also didn't end early.  Sort of keeps the spirit alive.  Axl held it together to the end.  I bought a t-shirt.

My father disagrees with my idea of a great show entirely, and that's alright.
