Last night, while we were watching Norah Jones "punk" band play the Delancey, Guns n' Roses rocked fans at Hammerstein Ballroom with old favorites and new tunes. Brooklyn Vegan was there and has a ton of pictures (including the photo above) and the promise of a full report to come later. Apparently Sebastian Bach even joined Axl on stage...we won't lie, we kind of wish we were there.
Alas, all we have is YouTube. Check out this video recapping the life of G N' R, it's...interesting, set to music and has a hopeful ending!
UPDATE: LNP was at the show and got some great pix. The NYTimes review said the old songs were good, but the new ones from the eternally unreleased "Chinese Democracy" album sort of suck. Finally, here are the first YouTube clips from the show-- more should surface soon.
