Abuse your Illusion

For me, last Friday was a busy night. Not only did I get to do some great whiskey tasting at the Dublin Whiskey Festival, I made it to Fibber Magees in time to catch a Guns and Roses Tribute (cover) band, called Abuse Your Illusion.

The band started at 11 PM, and did a full 2 hour set covering all of the best Guns and Roses songs. The above is some of the highlights and photos put together into “video” format. (Sorry it’s a bit far back as I was at the back – to avoid the front pit.) Overall, the crowd was pretty great, and as you can hear from the video, they were singing along to everything from Patience, to Sweet Child o’mine to November Rain, to Paradise City, and Knocking on Heaven’s Door, and Live & Let Die. I can’t imagine how hot the band was (under the spotlights and in costume) but they really had down the mannerisms and sound of the original. They were brilliant, and I look forward to going again when they’re in town.
