Saw 'em in Sheffield last night. Bach was ok, although it would have been a lot better if the soundman hadn't been wearing earmuffs and a blindfold when he was doing the mix. Bullet For My Arsehole, or whatever they're called, were SHITE. Gave me time to have a piss and get another beer in though.
And Axl reminded me very much of another ginger-haired nutcase that we might all be familiar with, in that he might not be as young as he used to be but still put on one hell of a show. He's carrying a bit more weight than he used to, but there's still the occasional sprint across the stage that you struggle to follow cos he moves so damn fast. The voice is still there, although to be fair he was never Paul Rodgers in the first place. Didn't throw a strop and fuck off at the first sign of the dreaded "technical difficulties" either. Maybe he's actually growing up at last.
Oh, and Izzy did probably a third of the set with 'em as well.
All in all, a pretty damn good night out.
How dare you!
