My eyes hurt. My throat's killing me. I still can't hear a damn thing. And I'm pretty sure at some point I got punched in the face. But it was worth it. Because last night I got to see my childhood idols (seriously... sadly...) live in concert.
It was unbelievable. Fireworks, covers of Bowie and Floyd. So cool. Definitely the best concert I've been to. Or maybe at least the most anticipated.
It was pretty amazing. In the lead-up to the concert, the country pretty much shifted into some sort of GNR mania. Every day there were articles in the paper about the upcoming show. I mean, it was like the entire country was asking itself: Was this a mistake? Some sort of clerical error that the "little thumb" of central america is benefiting from? We almost didn't care, we were so psyched to finally get a real band. Especially after Metallica blew off El Salvador for Guatemala City when their tour passed through the region last month.
And say what you will about Slash not being there or Axl going off the deep end, but I gotta be honest, that crazy, old tattoed freak's still got it. Brought the house down. Plus, with his cowboy hat and 48 year old gut (yes 48, can you believe that?), he couldn't have looked more salvadoran. Just like one of us. The crowd loved it.
Unreal!! You've really been livin' it up these last few months :)
