When asked to cover the Guns N' Roses "Not In This Lifetime" semi-reunion tour, I protested for like 10 minutes. Sure there was a moment in 6th grade when I snake-danced on the couch to "Sweet Child O' Mine," but I've never had strong feelings about the divisive band. Hadn't John Jeremiah Sullivan already written everything there was to write about Axl et al? And wasn't there some kind of play I was supposed to be seeing? Some book to read instead?
But the second my editor told me there was a "VIP Costco Cardmembers Lounge," I grabbed the nearest bandana and headed out the door. And so I went to CenturyLink Field. And it was fucking crazy. Here's what happened:
• If you think they didn't have individually wrapped "Welcome to the Jungle" frosted shortbread cookies in the Costco Cardmembers Lounge then you are out of your damn mind. Other things in the room: Photographs from a 1991 Guns 'N' Roses show. (Slam dunk on that Olympics tie-in, Citi Bank and Costco, official sponsors of the VIP experience.) There were also garish fuchsia chairs that looked like the inside of snake mouths, a spray-on tattoo professional, a truly wonderful service staff offering platters of lukewarm sliders and little boats of kale salad, and a photo booth experience.
• The most common nonGN’R shirt among fans: AC/DC.
• GN'R's set opened with a three-story high 3-D video of a golden revolver shooting the top off of the Space Needle.
• On the floor, I almost got in a fight with the guy standing behind me, who accused me of stealing someone's seat. The band was playing, "Welcome to the Jungle."
• Someone passed a joint around. I inhaled.
• You can hear Axl wheeze in his mid-range, otherwise he hit every "note."
• Another weird video played: Skeletons having sex, doggy style. This video was shown two or three times.
• On the way to the restroom, an opening in the medical tent's blue curtains revealed a woman passed out on a stretcher.
• Axl, who is a human ball of snakes, put on a t-shirt that had a ball of snakes on it. Axl would go on to change his t-shirt (and his hat, and the flannel he ties around his waist) several times. Slash wore one shirt the whole time that read: "I saw God on acid and he was tripping pretty hard."
