Axl did what a lot of people said would never happen. He showed up to play a sold out show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY on Friday May 12th. Not only did he show up but they played for over two hours, played twenty two songs and did a duet with Sebastian Bach on My Michelle and You’re Crazy. They sold that show out, sold out an added date and then added two more dates that also quickly sold out. See photos of the show and read a review of the show here.
