It was somewhere after ten o´clock at the open stadium of GEBA when Sebastian Bach´s voice shouted - You know where you are? You´re in the jungle baby!. The same way Axl Rose opened various shows, and above all with similar band mates. On the drums the tireless Matt Sorum(ex GNR and Velvet Revolver), who was the only member of this super band who actually played the whole concert and when it was time for some acoustics, believe it or not, he fiddled with the tambourine. On the bass, Duff McKagan, who recently entered in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame with the original members of GNR. On the guitar, once a companion to Slash, Gilby Clarke, and on the other side of the stage the other guitar played by Steve Stevens, (Billy Idol). The next song on the menu, just like on the album Appetite for destruction, was It´s so easy. When the crowd was heated up, Sebastian Bach decided to sing one of Skid Row´s hits Youth Gone Wild. Even though without a member of Led Zeppelin, Whole lotta love still is one of the songs mostly sang on concerts.

Then was a time for some The Cult songs Firewoman and Wildflower, that obviously shown Billy Duffy´s extraordinary talent and great ability to heat up the crowd. A train passed by and Glenn Hughes couldn´t resist shouting something like We love you crazy train people. Joe Elliot was next to sing and again some changes were made on the stage. Duff and Steve returned and Sebastian Bach also made another appearance to accompany Joe Elliot singing Rebel Yell from Billy Idol. After few songs from Def Lepard and some of Collective Soul with Ed Roland, it was time for a bit of slowdown with the acoustic songs like Knocking on a heavens door, Patience, that Sebastian Bach sang it with a bit of tired voice, and the favourite song of Duff McKagan, You can´t put your arms around a memory.
