The Night Singapore Became a Paradise City
This is probably the closest we're ever gonna get to Guns n
Roses but hell some might argue this
could be better. Slash was on top of his game and Myles
Kennedy was just on crack with his vocal capabilities. Not to
forget the solid rhythm section comprised of Bobby
Schneck, Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz.
Music knows no boundaries is the take-home of the day with a sold-out crowd ranging from the youngest kids to the most elderly folks (I swear I saw the most out-of-place looking elderly dude right behind me but that just makes it so much cooler!). It was a sight to behold. How could it be better than Guns N Roses you might ask? How about GnR, Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and Alter Bridge combined? =)
Sticking to their standard setlist, the band played non-stop for 2hrs rocking the whole of Fort Canning for what's to be one of the most exciting week of gigs Singapore has ever had as a 3 Day SINGFEST shortly follows.
Setlist:
With the crowd heating up like a erupting volcano, the venue really erupted when the GnR anthem, Sweet Child O' Mine, sounded through the venue. The iconic intro to the song played by the very man himself, Slash!
It was full-steam ahead from there and ending off with their trademark encore, By The Sword and Paradise City. The band looked like they utterly enjoyed themselves because! The Singapore Crowd was A W E S O M E!
They say you reap what you sow. Singapore has continuously sowed very healthy seeds as an amazing crowd. Will we see more and more heavy-weight bands hit our shores? I say yes! =)
