view Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Amazing! Did not see this one coming, to be honest. Can we hope for a guest performance also in Nashville on Saturday? That would make my day, week, month and year I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had have been there I would have been going bat shit crazy . It looks like everyone is just standing and clapping politely Nah, it's just the byproduct of age and camera phones, since most everyone seems to want to record the moment rather than enjoy being in it. Back in the 80's and 90's when the core of GN'R fans here in America were younger, there was plenty of body slamming, mosh pits, dancing and general craziness going on. If you watch clips from the 80's and early 90's, you'll notice Axl often stopping shows because fans are too rowdy and nearly killing one another.

Well it's not like the American crowd seems that wild and crazy anyway (no offense).. I can rephrase what i wrote: 99% of the fans don't want Ferrer to go back behind the kit. Really happy to see Adler play again with the guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's offended or feels bad in the least. These guys aren't stupid. They fully realize the importance of the original lineup and understand that they aren't part of it. In fact, most, if not all, were fans of the band well before they got the call to join up. Listen to comments from Myles Kennedy and Todd Kerns from Slash's band. They fully understand what's going on is bigger than them. I'm sure Frank and Fortus do too, even though they are still holding down the full time gig. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Axl stopped in in the middle of a song and said to us to take a step back etc.. That was in 2006 in Sweden. Crowd were absolutely crazy and there was both young and old fans. One lady passed out behind me so we had to lift her over the fence to the guards. (very short girl, prob lack of oxygen and water) I hope San Diego will top that night!

Popular Post thunderram Posted July 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) It's funny, I've been watching every single gig since Vegas via periscope and my wife often wondered why I do so since they've largely been exactly the same --- and tonight I was able to say to her loudly and proudly "this is why!" I'm so happy I saw it live. After it all went down, my wife and I both commented that when Axl said that he had a surprise for everyone -- we both thought it was going to be a new song they hadn't played or possibly even 'Slither' as has been rumored for weeks and we were both caught off guard when he said "on the drums....". I stood there in smiling shock for the next 30 seconds or so. I was lucky enough to see 4 of the 5 back in 1991, but never saw Steven play in person with the band. I can't wait to see all 5 up on stage at the same time. You KNOW it's happening. The only question is when and where .......

Axl must of liked what he heard during OTGM because he immediately audibled "Let's do another" and ran up to Adler's kit and told him to keep going. I'm looking that video for the 4th time and it seems to me just as you sad... My Michelle seems to be added by feeling... Axl said "let's do another... ", goes do Duff, and then to Adler... and Slash just throws a smile I don't have an ear for drums like some world class drummer-posters here, but I see difference in energy when Adler is there and when any one else is there... It's just natural when he plays in GNR gig and that's it. No Sorum, No Brain, No Frank... just Popcorn - he is that source of juvenile, wild energy that is in the core of GNR I'm saying this as person who thinks that Frank's doing good job there... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby845 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 In the light of recent mind-blowing happenings, I cannot help but to express my gratitude on behalf of Steven to Slash as the main catalyst for bringing Steven back, as well as Axl and Duff.. What could have been a reunion let-down, is now taking it's full shape and firing on all cylinders. I could go on to and would love to write a possible article on this, but I'm taking a moment to grasp and immerse into the insurmountable amount of hype I've been enamored of.. Well, after all, Mick Wall was right...why spoil the fun he said..!! In my words... Fuck yeah!! I have never been so happy for Steven... It has taken a long way, but here he is, gracing the drum spot in Guns N' Fuckin' Roses!!! Not sure if my happiness is a result of his, but whatever..this is a moment to relish!! Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steven Adler!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History2010 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Very happy to see this tonight. This makes a AFD lineup reunion next year all the more possible. It seems the only thing that could stop that now is Izzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly and I'm from that era of GNR fan so that's what I'm used to seeing! I do think the British crowds these days are still more rowdy than what I've witnessed in the US but I totally agree the camera phone thing plays a massive part of it wherever you are too. I was in pit in Vegas and the phone thing did my head in - such a buzz kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 That was legendary. Good for him. Good on Axl for moving past all of the negative things said and giving him his shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's really no good reason for IZZY not to be up on that stage with them at some point.

However, now that he's made an appearance and proved that AXL, SLASH and DUFF have mended fences with him to a point, the odds of the 5 getting together has seemingly skyrocketed. Unless there is something recent we don't know about, we know IZZY and AXL have been on good terms as recently as 2014 and they've played together numerous times during the past 6-7 years. We also know that DUFF and SLASH worked with IZZY and were on fair terms when they started "The Project" circa 2002. Unless IZZY has some unknown grudge against STEVEN after all these years, I can't imagine any reason for him not to get up on the stage at least once in the near future. Someone tell me I'm wrong.

I'm not really sure why that is either. I guess Americans get soft as they older (not me though LOL). I just remember the excitement level that typically existed at every rock concert I ever attended during the 80's and 90's. And not just GNR. But GNR was off the hook. The pits were bouncing every single song. You had to fight your way to the front. Everyone was louder. I can't recall the last time I saw a crowd like that.

Agree, that's the GNR crowds that I remember too. Think it's partly a generational thing too.

Top-Hatted One Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Izzy is the least likely and now its proven to be the case. He doesn't like commitments and being tied down. He doesn't like being in the limelight either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoop Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I was convinced Izzy wouldn't appear at all but now I think he will. Last week when there was all the speculation about what his new song meant, he was very quick to post the lyrics, explain the inspiration, and say sorry for any misunderstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
