Black Sabbath Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 5 hours ago, scooby845 said: @Black Sabbath I see on some photos you posted you are a bit sideways positioned against the stage, while elsewhere you're directly in front of it? I thought cause of the pit separation it was impossible to be centerfront...or is it? They didn't separate the pit last night. We chose not to go directly in front because the stage itself is a littler taller than normal, and then when they put Axl's risers on stage, it's nearly impossible to see just about anything else from front and center. So we decided to be right on the corner of the catwalk so we had a great view of that and a lot of the rest of the stage as well. I've got 4 more shows to attend so maybe one of them I'll try to be directly front and center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weakest part of the night. The rest of the show was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the show was excellent. That's obviously why he said it. Coma will always be the weakest part, because it's by far the most challanging song to sing. But I don't expect him to sing it like he did 25 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaponsnflowers Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thanks to everyone who posts those videos! Been watching them like crazy. This I love is really epic. Slash really just takes it over for a while, lol! And Axl's face at the end of it. He really meant it there. I do think Axl sounded really tired in Better, not the best performance of that song. I wonder if all that backwards walking is his way to work on his hamstrings or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 25 years ago those type of songs (long series of words, not time to breathe) were difficult for him. He's doing great IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Frank is setting the tone, then Axl is obviously on board with it. Why do you think the big three would go that route? The only thing I can think is to try and add a little extra energy to the songs by playing them faster? Maybe there is another obvious reason that I'm not thinking of?

People wanted Estranged - boom People wanted Coma - boom. Now if only he hears the pleas for new music! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost seems to get winded during the studio version, with who knows how many retakes...so imagine how difficult that last part is to do live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've noticeably improved the tempos since April, but obviously timing will get pushed every once in a while when they're sounding as tight as they are. You can tell they're all really feeling it. I can't wait to feed off this energy next month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I love, LOVE, Chinese Democracy, but damn, those songs (ChiDem and Better) sound so much better with Slash and Duff. Everything sounds better with them. I always dug NuGnR, but this is the real deal! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time (other than Axl in South America) they've headlined in front of this many people in years...so they must be pumped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them pick the 7-songs they want to work on. Then have the current group write 4-5 songs together. That's the fastest route to record and release a new album by Christmas time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, i have tried for fun just to keep up with it, even if i am not a singer, damn that song takes the breath out of you, as do Civil War, i find them very hard, and can't even fallow half of them lol :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit the nail on the head and this is what I've said a new album would mostly be comprised of, imo, if it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So kudos to him, at 54, to be able to do 2.5 hour shows consistently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
