Bruno P. Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 ER are you confusing inland show with rio? That was the first full length pro shot. Although it was the sound that wasnt mixed which made the show poor.my bad, i forgot about rio.but no, i very much recall watching the live stream of KROQ and everybody being really underwhelmed. that, and Rio IV, were both disappointing, especially considering how strong Axl was at other shows that year. i think a lot of it had to do with the sound setup not being ideal, at least for the streaming, and the sound mix ended up being shit.I dont think so. Both shows were weak vocally because they were one of the first shows of the tours. By the 5th, 6th or 7th shows of both tours he sounded great again...

TheSeeker Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 People don't remember that the quality of the audio stream for Inland Invasion was terrible, which is why all the boots for that show sound terribleI remember staying up and watching that webcast - good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie6 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Tokyo dome in 2009 was also a really good show,Axl seemed to be shy with the audience, but he was not hidding himself behind his glasses or his hat, he was very happy to be on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The worst things about the 2006 LA show were Think About You and Down on the Farm. Those alone being played makes Rock am Ring better. Both were fantastic shows though.C'mon. Axl was just having some fun. I thought they were really good performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Just watched Los Angeles 2006 gee thats the best the band sounded even bumble sounds good. He needs to go back using a Gibson.

Its a completely diff axl hes right into killing it.I watched the LA 2006 gig last week, probably the strongest performance by that lineup that I've seen, Axl sounded great and the band had great energy - and I agree with your comment on BBF, I don't like his tone when he's not using a Gibson.

Gibbo Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Yeah i hadnt seen that show for years forgot how good they were back then fuck its sad what its become now unreal really the whole band had more go even. I seen them in Adelaide in 2007 it was a good show but not as good as this. I think both Bumble and Robins tones are better then now.

Silent Jay Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Definitely my favorite, with Boston 2002 and LA 2011.Huge concert, big ass crowd. Jungle, Brownstone, Michelle, KOHD, Nightrain, BETTER! it seems there are almost no better performances for these songs. Shame that we didn't have Madagascar. And IRS was messy.

Young_Gun Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Amazing. Axl was on fucken fire that whole tour but I think because it was pro-shot he went the extra mile with his stage performance. What we have today is a faint shadow of 2006/07 Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 2006 LA should have a pro shot. The only thing I didn't like was Robin on Chinese Democracy. He didn't exactly nail the opening notes or solo. It didn't really bother me though. Axl sounded incredible on every song. I didn't find one where I thought he sounded just ok on. It was all great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers7503 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 RAR LA 2006 and Dublin 2006 (daylight concert) were the best. I never ever saw the band n Axl so happy and great mood like in Dublin,his/their joking around was priceless in that concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 RAR and KROQ Inland Invasion are the best newGNR shows I've heard, yeahInland Invasion was awful. I remember back in 2006, it was greeted with the same sense of disappointment as many of the recent gigs. We knew Axl was having a very strong year, and then when it came time to get a pro-shot recording (I don't think Rock Am Ring had been aired yet, so it was our first '06 pro shot full gig), he was having a big off night. He sounded weak, the band's mixing was poor, the whole thing was a complete mess. It's one of their worst shows, imo. Abysmal.Rock Am Ring, Universal Ampitheatre (LA) '06, and Download Festival are three of the best gigs. Download partially because of the context, how he got pissed off by the crowd, then won them back by the end of Paradise City, and because of how strong his voice was when he stopped running around. LA '06 has the best mix of rasp and Mickey.another trivia note:back in 2006 i uploaded the Rock Am Ring version of WTTJ to my youtube channel. it received over a million views and tons of likes -- then one day mysteriously got pulled by 'uzi suicidal llc' and (in combination with a fanmade music video also being pulled at the same time) resulted in me getting my youtube account banned. hmm... I've never seen Inland Invasion - what's so bad about that, other than how ridiculous BBF looks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
