Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I don't have a list. But I think that, unlike the original band, NuGN'R never really managed to do a fantastic gig with a great setlist where every performance was top notch. For example, there are only a handful of TWAT performances where Axl did not mess up. TWAT is such an essential NuGN'R song and it alone limits the potential list to a few gigs.

Randy Jesus Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) I would say the one where BBF came out after the band left due to tech issues, and calmed the crowd by playing and cementing his place in GNR history.

maynard Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Rio 2001, Rock Am Ring 2006 and some songs here and there from the 2002 tour would be my top 3 Axl's band moments.His voice was great in 2009 and 2010 but DJ Ashba ruins it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Very difficult question.I'd have to sayHOB 2001 (the first one, I'D LOVE to have bootlegs from the other shows because they must have been something magical , too bad there isn't anything at all)Amazing we don't have anything from the Dec '01 shows apart from a few photos, do we even know if hoarders have anything?

Estranged Reality Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Could someone perhaps upload/post links for the HOB and Boston soundboards? I used to have the full concerts but somehow lost them.Wasn't there another good '02 soundboard? I think from Pittsburgh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) ^ I think Pittsburgh is the only other complete soundboard from 2002, there are partial soundboards out there for Tacoma, Nampa and Columbus. I don't like the Pittsburgh show though, if I listen to any 2002 show it's either Columbus or Boston.if no-one else uploads the Boston show I can do it but the first 2~ mins of The Blues is fucked up on my version so hopefully someone posts a better one Edited June 30, 2015 by Gordon Comstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The Yellow Raincoat show and the Bridge School Heart Attack Show are THE definitive NuGNR shows. These shows really summarize what Axl did to himself after he became the dictator. Imagine seeing these videos in 1992...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Surely Dublin 2010, Axl may have had a patented strop that not everybody else shared his enthusiasm for being massively late but damn did he sing a stellar set even for him back on that tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonzoThesaurus Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I agree with Hammerstein, Rio, Rock Am Ring, Bucharest, Boston and Tokyo, but I'd swap the others forColumbus 2002Universal City 2006London 2010Dublin 2010L'arc 2010 (That CITR and PC alone makes it better than Rose Bar IMO, although that's a great show too. Shame the l'arc quality isn't better)Honorable mention:Vegas 6.6.14That Universal city show is amazing!! What a fucking beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillBailey Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Hey guys, if you like Boston 2002, I uploaded 2 different angles: (center shot) (screenshot)I'm surprised no one mentioned Albany 2002, this is one my fav shows from the new line-up, a great AUD shot in great quality, pretty cool rants too: I also really liked Rock in Rio-Lisboa 2006, it's often forgotten because of Rock Am Ring but I think it's amazing (even if it's missing the new songs unfortunately): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not to cupcake this thread but, imo the most definitive nugnr shows were the shows that duff and izzy were involved with. Why? Because those shows actually felt a little bit like a real guns n roses concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseIRS Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Id have to say the Hammerstein shows in '06. There was nothing quite like the atmosphere for those gigs, on the forum, and if you were lucky enough to attend any of them, in NYC and at the gigs. It was amazing. Plus it helped that Axl and the band killed it pretty much all 4 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
