And why would Richard play any solo if Slash is back in the band? :shrugs:

there is a audio snip of Rocket Queen on YouTube... It does not sound like Slashs playing.. Richard is playing the side solo. 100%... so that clip on YouTube is fake

In which version was Knockin On Heavens Door? who did play the Intro? Richard or Slash?

and who did the slide solo in Rocket Queen? Richard or Slash

 

Thank you very much for all your answers

Heavens Door was bit of a mix of both versions, but definitely leant more to the classic version. Pretty sure Slash played the intro as Axl was sayin somethin to Slash and then said into the mic " i had an Uncle Bob as a kid, then again we all have an Uncle Bob." I assumed he was tellin Slash to start Heavens Door.

Slash did the slide solo in Rocket Queen. He was standing center stage and threw the slide off to the left side towards Adam Day when he was done.

I remember Richard doing Bucketheads solo in Better, Izzys solo in Nightrain, and a solo in Heavens Door. Other than that it was all Slash, as it should

Saltzy?

LOL, sup.

Still can't say.  If he ever reveals who he is to the guys on my board I will post it here.

He's real, and chronologically he was one of the 1st people that seemed to have any actual info this thing was gonna happen.

There's a part of me that wonders if talking about it here cost me a shot at going, but I'm pretty sure it's not the case.  He could have told me you're in, but you need to shut the fuck up about it or something.  Since he posted on the board he was taking off for LA he hasn't even logged in.  I just think that whatever he is up to is more important than getting a random internet friend into a concert right now.  I'm sure I'll find out what happened at some point. It would have been ridiculous to have been there, but I leave for Vegas on Thursday to see them twice and that is kinda hard to complain about.

The UYI Version + only women bleed intro was by far the best Version...did Melissa sing in the background of kohd? Shes a good Piano player and a solid singer.

Posted this in the review thread as well:

Okay just got home from work...idk how well written this will be, still cant really find the words to grasp how amazing this night was...to start the vibe was just really positive all around. The security was letting us drink outside the venue waiting for the doors to open. All they said was if the sheriffs come by just get rid of it so we dont get in trouble ha. Inside the venue the place just buzzing, it was electric. I ended up getting front row on Slashs side right in front of the monitor. Doors opened a little after 10pm and the lights when down a little before midnight. No intro (which i totally thought it was gonna be McBob) Slash walked out first and everybody followed, crowd erupted and Duff launched into Its So Easy. And from there the band didnt stop firing. Slash jumped up on the monitor during Easy for the first time and everyone around me lost it. Slash couldnt help but smirk at our reaction. The band was killing it and they knew it. They were all smiles and i just remember Duff looking up one point at Lenny Kravitz with a face like "yeah, we're back motherfucker!"

Axl sounded the best he has since 2010. He had the fire in his belly and that look in his eye. Rasp was everywhere to be seen. The song i paid most attention to vocally was YCBM cuz i know thats one he hasnt done good on for the last 5 years and he nailed it. He slayed the "breakin down my back" section! He was in a great mood and was definitely slimmer than he has been and he was not out of breath. Slash was very focused but he was rocking out for sure. To see him rocking out HARD to the chorus of Better was so surreal! It was just mindblowing to see him playing these songs and standing on stage next to Axl, i really couldnt believe it at some points. He was in top form and nailed every solo. At first they didnt interact too much but by the middle of the set Axl was throwing his arm on Slashs shoulder, he leaned up against his back rocking out during some solos and they exchanged a couple laughs between some songs.

As the setlist is out there, here is some highlights that stood out.

-Axl lost his footing during Brownstone and ended up ripping his jeans in the crotch. During the solo he walked over to the side of the stage and pointed up at Lenny Kravitz and back down at his crotch and said "Penisgate" or somethin to that effect and they both started laughing.

-Frank started a long countoff on the hihat and Slash launched into the Chinese Demoracry riff. I was like no way are they fucking playing this right now. It was very raw and punk rock sounding. It was pretty awesome and Slashs spin on the solo was great.

-Double Talkin' Jive!! Holy fuck was it awesome to hear that live. The band killed it and Axl sounded mean!!! He did the "i got...lies" part just like he sounded on the record.

-before the slide solo in Rocket Queen Slash did an extended talkbox solo, when he finished it Axl had a huge smile on his face and looked at us and said "you missed that, didnt you?"

-Godfather Theme was awesome! Before he started it Axl said "Heres a man that needs no introduction, but gets one anyways. Ladies and Gentlemen, Slash."

-Seeing Slash play the Sweet Child solo right up front and him and Axl doing that outro right next to each other was just insane. I remember looking back and Jim Carrey had the biggest smile on his face and i remember thinking "all is right in the world." Haha.

-Better had a whole new intro. It was this really heavy riff that just kept building and we're in the crowd goin holy shit theyre playing a new song. The riff kept building until it somehow came to a crash with Duff starting "no one ever told me when..." It was epic and strange seeing Slash completely rocking out in the chorus. Again he did a killer solo and did a cool slide part in the last verse. Again Axl slayed the "i never wanted you to be so full of anger" section.

-before Michelle Axl and Duff were talking and into the mic Axl goes "im goin by your guys' list tonight. Im follwing your lead" Duff starts laughing and Axl goes "thats very rare for me. I mean you guys know im an agreeable kinda guy. Im like Trump, i consult with myself." Funny moment.

-Heavens Door was probably the most special moment of the show. Axl starts the first sing along section and then right when he looked like he was gonna start the 2nd he kinda stopped himself and looked around the stage and said "this is the first time in 23 years us 3 have been on stage together, 1993, July i believe it was" the crowd just erupted. He did another sing along section and after that one he said "we worked very hard with the city to make this show happen, and we worked hard with the sheriffs and that in itself took 24 years" and laughed. It was amazing to see him almost taken back and acknowledging the magnitude of the night. 

-another cool moment was Nightrain when they kicked into the first verse. It was "Look out" and both Axl and Slash started the foot stomp, gliding across the stage, stoping for a brief second in front of each other, and spinning off. It was bad ass!

-During Paradise City the crowd was getting crazy and after the first chorus Axl started yellin to the crowd "you guys gotta step back people in the front are getting crushed.... (crowd didnt really move).....i said you people need to step the fuck back now!" They finally did and Axl signaled the band to keep going and he jumped into the next verse. Reminded me of somethin that would happen back in the day haha.

 

Im probably missing a bunch of stuff and its really hard to convey my emotions throughout the night. But this show will go down as the best show i have ever seen in my life. Just to see the first time Axl and Slash back together and have it be in such an important club to the bands history and to be right up front is just magical. I truly feel so lucky to have witnessed it. Im so looking forward to Vegas next weekend! See you guys there! You will not be dissapointed!!!

And for celebrities i saw: Lenny Kravitz, Kate Hudson, Nic Cage, Jim Carrey, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Kushner, John 5, Colin Hanks, Norman Reedus, Sean Kinney, Bubbles, Bradley Cooper, the sports guy in Anchorman. Im sure there was way more, hard to make out everyone in the VIP section.

This made my day...no wait, this made my month!!! Thank you SO much for sharing, this is priceless!!!

Btw I know this is off topic, but I wonder where is Axl's Brother N' Sister never seen Them for years? Or maybe They are with Axl all the time N' I didnt recognize it

She was at one of the Vegas shows a couple of years ago, Sebastian took a photo with her.

@maxpax Yeah Duff, Dizzy and Melissa did all backing vocals. Slash sang in Paradise City, thats it.

No intro, the lights went down and Duff ripped into Its So Easy.

How did Frank play the Brownstone and RQ intros? Like he use to or more like the original Adler way?

That's about what I was expecting/hoping for.

Reunion happens, and they're embarking on a big tour..... Slash continues to post weird shit. I'm sure there's going to be some people going city to city trying to see every show.

Im pretty sure he played them more like Adler cuz i dont remember getting super annoyed by it. Cause those two songs were always my pet peeves with Franks drumming. Which i would assume Slash and Duff had a say in. Or i was just too amped up to even notice which is highly possible haha.
