James Bond Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Even as a fan of the album Chinese Democracy, I've always found it hard to get into This I Love. That being said, I find it goes over decently with the crowd. I know it screams "piss break" for some but I look at it as basically Axl's vocal solo so generally the casual crowd is pretty receptive to it. When I saw them last year, that and the title track got the biggest response. Better and Sorry seemed to bore the crowd, but at my particular show (Toronto) they were played back to back so no wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorderlineCrazy Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 So glad to see Slash was on beast mode and there were many comments about how awesome he is. Good to see people talking about him and not about Angus not so Young for a change. I'm glad Angus and Angry were there. I was gonna say By The Sword should have been played by GNR without Axl (like they did with Lenny in Paris 92) but then I remembered Frank is the drummer... 2 hours ago, nikosgnr said: Sorry mate.

highvoltage Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) They tuned Nice Boys down to where Rose Tattoo play it so Angry could keep up. In 2013 (last time they did the duet) they played it in GNR tuning and little Angry was too drunk to know what was going on, much less hit the notes. Just got home, might post a little review of the two shows tomorrow if I'm not too lazy! EDIT: Nice Boys in 2013 - you can hear Angry throws Axl at first by singing in a different key.

Tom-Ass Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, Live Like a Suicide said: This I Love is a good song to show the dynamic between Axl and Slash. Both usually kill it too. Axl sounds great on the song, and Slash smashes the solo. Since Axl also wrote the song as early as 1992, i would argue it probably has more of a right to be there than the others, honestly. Mehhhh.. Just not for me.. I gave it an honest effort.. The chorus is catchy.. Probably only because it is so repetitive.. The rest of it just sucks.. Well I did remember digging the outro solo on a periscope once.. The meat of the song is painful to my ears. Edited February 11, 2017 by Tom-Ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really played this??? I don't see it on setlist.fm Slash came out and played it with Wolfmother during their opening set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However once he warmed up he did alright. I hope they do it again without Angry in a higher key. 1 hour ago, Gibbo said: Whole Lotta Rosie its like Angus needs a grease I dont reckon I have seen him that sloppy What the fuck was that?

It's got that more raw feel that makes a nice mix with the more polished stuff in the set. If they ever switched things up and opened with Nightrain, this would make a great set closer before the encore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity_lost Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Interesting to go read a show thread and there are more comments, videos and discussion about shows from over 3 years ago than the current show the thread is for. Seems like they mixed it up a bit with Slash guesting before the show then having special guests Angry and Angus. I was half expecting them to not do it and the forum would be having a melt down over it. I hope everyone who went enjoyed the show. I am not sure how the band survived doing that heat for two days straight. Hopefully they were all careful not got get themselves heatstroke.

Usually it's bands tune down so singers can sing BETTER. No, not with our Axll gotta be the other way around. Seems they also slowed it down or is it just me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the 2010 video version above the vocal delivery just doesn't seem as fierce and fast to me. Not sure if that's the songs tempo or if they just choose to sing it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different but still good. He should try that for other songs he struggles with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfer Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I wonder one thing . . . Why Axl not clings on Smartphones? In the 1990s, half of the concerts was to aborted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
