Silent Jay Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nostalgia is strong with this thread. Nothing wrong with the newest kohd, it's a constant evolution, and it shows. I especially like axl's beautiful new melodies to it and Slash's tough and eclectic guitar. I think Richard should try to calm down and temper because his solos are kinda annoying next to Slash.

It's just personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm guessing Axl is trying hard to make Slash happy as well as a way to compensate maybe few songs that otherwise Slash may not be very much excited to perform. My take is, they are compromising each other here. It might be a staple for this tour because it was fans demanding it from band members for years, but Locomotive is still another big one they have yet to bring back. I doubt it's about making Slash happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnr Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 People I swear I'm not kidding...but I literally fell asleep when they played KOHD in Nashville! It was around 5am, I was awake just to see the periscope, but in the middle of KOHD I fell asleep. Just woke up when they were finishing Nightrain. I think this says it all about this version...boring. Speed the thing up, for fucks sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only thing that disappointed me about the whole night. . I don't mind the Ritz version, but LOVE the Illusion era live version of it. I even like the reggae..... For me Freddie Mercury is the pinnacle performance of that song. But I know it's all about personal taste, I'm sure others will disagree Agree. The ritz version is also up there in the me liky version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding it to the repertoire It's the rawest version the nu band ever played without the extra bullshit. Feels like something Axl would release if he wanted to go the Alan Niven route and become a "statesman of rock" ie more mature/respectable Edited July 12, 2016 by RONIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 They should drop KOHD or at least do a 4 minute version of it. I can't stand listening to that G-D-C progression for 10 fucking minutes. Not even sure if it's a crowd pleaser either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I was 14 yearsold when I saw ya'll. Axl was in a zone and Slash was on fire. We didn't know half the songs ya'll played because Illusions wasn't released yet. But we Cheered every second....we screamed every song.....because we knew what you were.....GN'R define Philadelphia...the spirit ....the heart....the balls....and the love ..Philadphia loves GN'R....no show sucked....like a dad not coming home.....but we forgave you because GN'R is the only Dad that is real...that can express our city in music. Everyone makes mistakes....we still love GN'R! Bring back KOHD. Slash needs to slow it down...we need the soul from Ritz....Fortus is a badass guitar player Don't waste his talents on this song Fortus should be soloing There Was A Time.. Fortus needs to handle Prostitute solo Like I know he can. KOHD should be 10 minutes of passion....not 10 minutes of filler....when everyone is taking a coffee break....is total disrespect to what Guns N' Roses did during the 1990's. Nevermind Dillon....current version plays much respect to him....but complete disrespect to the masterpiece Guns N' Roses created starting with the Ritz, evolving to Illusions and becoming the all time classic that it is....imprinted in millions of fans worldwide.....it's part of our soul..... Bring back our soul. Edited July 16, 2016 by Kasanova King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I don't mind this version. Aside from Fortus soloing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Sloppy and loose as hell....yet the song brought more energy and made more people scream their hearts out than any version in last 15 years. The song used to bring the entire world to their feet in respect ....but it's almost a filler anymore. You and your fans know better. Bring it back. It's about the passion. It's about the soul. It's about the love. Bring back the love in KOHD. Please. Edited July 16, 2016 by Kasanova King 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about how GN'R came from nothing, worked their asses off....gave their hearts for their dream. Just like Rocky. Same exact thing and that's why Philadelphia will forever love GN'R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Fortus is a great guitar player. Why put him in that spot? That song is all about soul....you could be technically perfect Play the song to perfection And still sound like meh. Why would you put a guy that is working his ass off for GNR in that situation. It doesn't fit. It doesn't belong And it's not his fault. There's 1 person on the planet that can nail the solo to KOHD. And you know who it is. Need the soul, brother....need the soul back in KOHD. That being said...I'd like to hear Fortus on There Was A Time solo. Slash did great ..made the song his own....but I think we need Fortus on TWAT....the solo is 100% technical and the best work Buckethead did while in GN'R. The solo should match Axl's voice, note per note....that's the beauty of it. Edited July 16, 2016 by Kasanova King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 GN'R brought it...and Philly gave it back to them. Slash" I always knew Philly rocked...but I never knew you rocked this hard....you kicked everyone else's asses until now' And the place exploded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
