Ali:

Show was great.  The band sounded fantastic.  Very cohesive.  Axl sounded better than he did in San Francisco.  "Better" was a true gem tonight.  Unfortunately, the crowd was extremely lame in terms of energy and enthusiasm tonight.  Very disappointed in that regard.  But, still had a great time.  Lars on drums was a huge surprise, but trust me, it happened.  A great show.  The band just gels more and more everytime I see them.  I thought it was interesting that Axl made no rants whatsoever tonight.  He seemed to be in a very good mood.

More later as I remember.

Lars Ulrich joins GN'R on stage
By Doug Miller / GunsNRoses.com

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Guns N’ Roses fans were given a rare treat during Friday night’s show at Oracle Arena when Metallica drummer and Bay Area resident Lars Ulrich joined the band on stage for a raucous performance of the classic rocker "Out Ta Get Me."

Ulrich was greeted with a standing ovation from the packed house and got right to work, bashing the drum kit in trademark Ulrich style.

When the song ended, a smiling Ulrich leapt off the elevated drum riser and hugged his old buddy W. Axl Rose in the middle of the stage before bowing to his frenzied local brethren.

It was a monster rock reunion of sorts for Ulrich and Rose, whose legendary bands toured together in 1992 when GN’R was enjoying the success of their Use Your Illusion albums.
