"Are you under the impression this isn't your life? Do you dabble in depression, is someone twisting a knife in your back?"

Well, don't worry, "Wilco will love you, baby." And babies, you loved you some Wilco, even if they didn't play "Wilco (The Song)" or "(I Got You) at the End of the Century" Saturday night at Gammage.

We won't take it personally, since Wilco's huge setlist that included favorites like "Hummingbird," "Shot in the Arm," and "Heavy Metal Drummer," complete with Jeff Tweedy's signature hummingbird dance.

We reviewed the gig, and took a ton of pictures of the band and fans, but don't just rely on our word, here's what the people have to say on Twitter.

Remember to follow us @phxmusicdotcom, and tweet at us to discuss.

@RachelRayner Me, to stranger: "So, you came here via Chicago?" Stranger: *misses Wilco reference* Me: *loses interest*

@kevinkmiller 3 months ago,I was surprised when Wilco sold out Gammage in 4 minutes.After seeing them tonight,I'm surprised it took so long! Amazing show!

@chelseapatel Listening to the Wilco tracks they didn't play on the drive home. #soweakitshard

@musicloverchick So I really liked the Wilco show, G thought they were "OK"n but 1st Phoenix crowd I've ever seen that stood the entire show. But it is Phx.

@jlothner I've seen some pretty amazing things in my life, but until you've seen a Nels Cline solo at a @wilco show, you haven't lived. #facemeltedoff

@ckostrivas Tweedy running in place on stage :) #wilco

@jlcieslak I think 75% of the people I know are at Gammage right now. #wilco

Fat Mike (NOFX)

​
It was somewhat of a surprise that NOFX sold out last night's Marquee Theatre show at the very last minute. In spite of Fat Mike's poo problems and outspoken attitude toward our city, we welcomed the band with open arms and screamed along to the songs as if our lives depended on it.

To top off our review and slideshow, where's what fans had to say about the show on Twitter.

​Now that you've checked out our photos and review of last night's Guns N' Roses gig at Comerica Theatre, we've taken to the Twittersphere to find out what you guys thought of the show.

Remember to follow us @phxmusicdotcom and tweet at us to discuss.

@musicloverchick: Well Phoenix? Any comments on the Guns N Roses show last night or did no one go? Geezus, can I get an update or 2, anybody??

Cut us some slack! The show didn't get out till 2, 'ya know?

@djashba: GUNS N' ROSES - Phoenix - Tonight! Who's coming!!??

Luckily Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba showed up.

@Sierastantos: Ready to see Fat Axl! (@ Comerica Theatre for Sebastian Bach and Guns N' Roses w/ 36 others)

I thought Axl looked pretty fit. The lack of cornrows helps.

@kenzie_flatt: guys, I hope I get to meet Axel backstage.... hahahah (@ Comerica Theatre for Sebastian Bach and Guns N' Roses)

Did you meet him?

@TheMattAudibert: Guns N Roses tonight at Comerica Theatre. Yep I'll be there rocking out like its 1989

Chinese Democracy came out in 2008, dude.

@jackbnyc: Freebird followed by voodoo child blasting in the lobby leading up to Guns N Roses in phoenix tonight #goodsign

Yeah, we've got some pretty underground radio stations here in Phoenix.

​ The cynical among us (ahem) might view Sting's "Back to Bass" tour as a way to cash in on The Police experience without having to deal with the other two guys who make The Police so awesome.

But we're the critics? What did you, the loyal reader have to say about last night's Comerica Theatre show?

@URaverageguy71 Sting killed at comerica theatre...thanks kim!

@AzfloGking #Sting was awesome at Comerica Theatre 2nite!

@JayCarpenter Sting at Comerica. "Every Little Thing" I is indeed magic!

@RachelBrockway Can you guess the average age of the crowd? :-) #sting (@ Comerica Theatre for Sting w/ 15 others)

@carletoncole Sting show tonight at the Comerica Theatre. I think this must be my 15th Sting show. Looking forward to head start to the holidays.

Check out our slideshow for more Sting photos.

​​These days, people are plugged in like The Matrix -- only they're plugged into their iPods, smart phones, and mp3 players rather than machines on an underground ship. Our detachment from the real world is never as obvious as when strangers are jumbled together in a public space.More >>

​Tempe Beach Park was alive with green last night.

Flogging Molly made their annual stop in Arizona to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, playing a show heavy on Irish ballads played at maximum speed, witty Celtic banter and plenty of toasts to their Arizona fans.

The band showcased songs from their new album, Speed of Darkness, but peppered the set liberally with old favorites.

The crowd was made up of folks from nearly all walks of life, a fact Twitter users noted, along with reports of bushes set on fire, comments on the set and of course references to that ever-flowing green beer.

Read on to see what locals tweeted during the concert.

@BrianManhattan Currently watching flogging Molly in Tempe... Irish you all were here for this madness...

@SDinquel: Flogging Molly at Tempe town lake. Luckily there are mock draft kiosks here.

@razordead: The Will Call line for Flogging Molly is ridiculous! @ Tempe Town Lake

@BridgetDaly: Some idiot set the bushes on fire at Tempe Beach Park. Wow. Why am I here? Oh yeah, Flogging Molly. Tempe, you have out done yourself.

@littleLdog:

@TheStina: I`m at Tempe Beach Park to see Flogging Molly! haha. So many drunk old people. Eww! XD
