pockets Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) I just saw this concert in full on youtube and guns 2006 is tighter and better as a group unit than 2014 live gunsbrain and robin finck look and perform better than ever at this concertand the special dynamic on stage between axl robin tommy is unbelievable on stage live in 2006and axl had his best look physically in guns with his face and body in 2006and the best part was axl didn't wear a hat LOL like he does now at concertsaxl's live singing voice was at its ABSOLUTE BEST in 2006no mickey mouse. no cracks. no missed lyrics either. axl was at his best live post slash and duff in 2006what do you guys think?and oh yeah BRING BACK brain and robin to the band Edited October 26, 2014 by pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 People are going to tell you this has been discussed already but it's a great show. The sound quality is incredible, the jungle scream is awesome! It's one if the best GNR pro shots that we have access to. Highlights are a Jungle, Better, Nighttrain, I liked sweet child from the show, november rain is great vocally, Axl is running around and really when I saw the show the first time I felt like Chinese Democracy could be huge if that's the band representing the album. Things obviously have changed but great show none the less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dando Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Awesome show but 8 years on people change shape, size n stuff..... Give them a break, and this band put on a better show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dando Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Agreed, I've never seen jungle as loud as that, one hell of a live song ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangoSkank Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 An awesome show. Keep going back to it. Jungle in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Finck6, please stop asking to "bring back" Brain and Finck. They left by their own free will because they didn't want to keep working with Axl. Their tenure in Axl's band was and is over. They're all doing productive stuff and making their fans happy. No need for them to go backwards.If you're a true fan of either Brain or Finck, enjoy their current projects and stop asking for them to come back to a band that is currently doing nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockets Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 I dream of brain and robin coming back to the fold because I see them as big stars and gnr could've been a big star band if brain and robin stayedmaybe the better video gets officially released in 2008 if robin is still there in the bandmaybe other big things happen with the band public and commercially in 2008 if robin staysbecause axl was in killer shape in 2006 live shows like rock am ring in Germany 2006axl didn't have the mickey mouse voice in 2006. axl didn't wear hats and lots of clothing in 2006axl was at his best live with gnr in 2006and 2006 would have been the perfect time to release cd with brain and robin still therein fact, 2006 was the best year for live shows with gnr post 90's gnr live showsso many things could have happened in 2006 if gnr did more than just live shows2006 was the year 2006 was the year of big things for gnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 You could take Better from this concert and make that the music video, it was nearly perfect! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The only thing I would say wasn't so good about the show was that there was too much ambience in the mix for some songs (like better). I couldn't really make out the guitars when they were all playing. And the guitars were each at different levels (in volume) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 2006 was definitely the best Axl of the 00s but the band from 2009 on are tighter and closer to what the original sound was like, tight but a looseness is evident. 2006 rock am ring is one of my favourite gnr shows... I actually prefer it to the illusions dvd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreakDown2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The only flat point imo from that show and the whole 2006 tour is Ron. The random shredding wasn't too fair with the great sound they had by that time. Still, it must have been extremely difficult for him to play songs he could only hear with headphones on the road, so it's completely understandable. I'm glad he learned Bucket's parts for 2009.

NewporTimbo Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Amazing show. Reading the full "Chinese whispers" and watching this show, it's clear that 2006 was supposed to be the year.Oh, the Jungle opening is friggin amazing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealmylife Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The band are much better as a unit today. The solo's are less boring now Ron clearly didn't know the songs as well back then and his playing showed itFinck was sloppy as a live player but he was also more innovative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The best KOHD, followed by Boston '02 and Marquee '87 (the one on Live From The Jungle, I forget which date it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockets Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 newportimbo - just think if cd was released in 2006 with brain and robin in the bandoh man it would have been an incredible time for gnr and us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSoftie Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Best Jungle intro ever but the rest of the show can be hit or miss vocally. Axl's voice is breaking up all over the show. Thankfully we still got some awesome performances and the whole band sounds tight and the music is mixed perfectly for the most part. Also if your wondering if Axl ever did another long Jungle intro check out Hungary 06 as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laparka Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I love this gig. KROQ from the same time was great too.That should have been the year CD should have been released.This could have been so much better :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'd take any one performance from this show to watch over the whole of that bloody wank blu-ray they just released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
