I'm still not a fan of their version or the choice of song for them, but damn I respect them for paying tribute to Chris Cornell at every show. But it makes no sense...sure, soundgarden was a gnr opener and Chris was cool with Slash and Duff. But Chris also said that he actually never meet Axl and had no relationship with him at all.

The Duff/Cornell connection is strong, besides the Seattle thing Duff performed with Chris at the Mad Season show. Also even back in the day Slash used to talk about what a huge Soundgarden fan he was, also there's Promise from his album. Even though Slash seems to take a bit of a backseat in this song. Who knows, maybe Fortus was the one who picked the song and that's why he plays the solo. And Axl being such a rock scholar I'm sure he had tons of respect for Cornell's musicianship. Although Axl admittedly doesn't put much fire into this version. I suspect that this song will stay in the set at least through Europe and possibly through US as well. I'm hoping that for the Arena run they close the book on the NITL tour, consider it a success, and reboot the setlist a la Skin N' Bones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am expecting them to mix it up a bit for the Arena tour as well. Probably nothing crazy but maybe switch up a couple staples.. Switch up the song order and maybe debut a couple songs they haven't played yet. It would be phenomenal is they brought it down to a 6 piece band again like the Skin N' Bones tour for sure. Maybe they will play the whole Appetite album each show for the tour.. Lot's of bands do that. If they did that, I would definitely travel to another out of state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we know that they love their GN'R! AT&T was rocking that night! I'm on the fence about seeing them in Oakland, though. The acoustics at the Coliseum Arena aren't the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize we are all a bit older now but I still do not sit down, go to the bathroom or grab a beer once the band hits the stage and I sure as hell don't play with my cellphone. As a matter of fact, I gave the damn thing up 3 months ago and the only thing I miss about It Is the GPS. I seen the band on the UYI stadium tour with Metallica and and the energy and movement In the crowd was so Intense that It felt like the entire section of seats could collapse at any second and this was In 85 degree weather with 90% humidity.

A big part of why i enjoyed the show so much is cause the energy of the crow was amazing! I think it was the closest you can get of a south american crowd in Europe. It really Is that bad. There Is not much applause after songs, people sit down, people leave to go to the concession stands and finally people leave early so that they can tell there friends the next day that they were one of the first to get out of the parking lot.

I can confirm. I as an european was shocked about the people at the vegas show. For them, it wasnt something special, at least for the ones who were sitting near me, but an event they had to be there while stuffing their fat faces with popcorn and nachos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Is a reason that we are the fattest country on the planet. The thing that kills me Is that people can get drunk at home or at there local bar, same with eating. The concert Is a once In a lifetime event for most of these people, yet food and alcohol at a very INFLATED price Is the main priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are one of the more Intelligent fans that attend. I have seen people spend $300-400 just In Food and booze. We always bring stuff from home and party In the parking lot, like yourself I try not to over due It as the concert Is the main objective as opposed to being to drunk to realize what took place the night before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chokes Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Well just got home from the show... Show itself as a spectacle is killer, having Slash and Duff back is really great. Setlist i thought was great as i attended with a group of 12 casual fans and they got to hear all the hits. My mates all had a blast and thought it was the best concert they ever attended. It's my 7th GnR concert but unfortunately it was Axl's weakest performance by miles. Just a few months ago Axl was sounding as good as he has ever done with AC/DC but this time around the rasp was notable for its absence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of just "Chainsaw Axl Rasp" he's actually trying to sing the song in a nuanced way and not be regarded as a one trick pony. I can respect that,even though it sounds bad. That's how I view Axl's performance on BHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case I would direct you to listen to some Axl/DC from 2016. Axl fully committed to the stereotypical Axl Rose vocals because that's what Angus wanted and that's what Angus hired him for. It's quite obvious that in GN'R Axl still does whatever the fuck he wants vocally whether we like it or not. And that includes preparing Prostitute before even thinking about Dead Horse, Breakdown or Pretty Tied Up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I've not once heard his cover of 'Don't Let It Bring You Down'; I just do not think I could stomach listening to him butchering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put on some gloves, buy some lube, and jump down the rabbit hole of Axl's psyche my friend. This will be waiting for you when you get out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
