What we saw today/b.r. on Monday/as a Guns'n'Roses concert was the worst thing the stadium has ever seen, and it has seen national team matches.
It all started at 7:30 PM, because we were obviously at a child's birthday party. Welcome To the Jungle was played while half the stadium was outside, still queuing for beer.
Actually, the best thing about the concert was the mobile beer vendors with kegs on their backs, who poured beer without queuing. For 8 leva.
Axl Rose has certainly sung worse, but today he certainly didn't sing well. I'm not even sure he knew what country he was in. He never once addressed the audience, never once mentioned Sofia.
It was so bad that the band could have easily brought a fan on stage to sing the band's songs instead of Axl. But that would have been possible if people knew what Slash and company were singing.
Instead of watching the best, the set list was torn apart by hits and songs that no one knew. There has never been such a quiet Bulgarian audience at a concert at the national stadium.
Who needs to listen to a 3-hour Guns'n'Roses concert with songs that even they don't play well. Literally at one point Axl asked for one of the songs to start over because he messed it up. Dude, you've been on stage for 40 years, fuck Mickey Mouse. Everything could have ended in an hour and a half and gone more painlessly. Especially for Axl.
Songs like Yesterdays, Civil War, Live and Let Die sounded like a pale, crappy memory of the band's former greatness.
The show, the multimedia, the lights - a cheap trick to take money from people who love the band. There are k-pop bands that put on a 100 times better show, better sound and better quality of performance than this performance that was in Sofia today. And it's not about money. The difference between K-pop groups and Guns is about 40-50 years of experience. And the Koreans beat them on points.
The most low-quality show that has ever set foot in the national stadium. Du-no.
