For years and years all people on here have dreamed of is Axl, Duff and Slash on stage together, within a matter of months it's old news and onto bitching about the set list. Get a grip people and enjoy the semi-reunion. There's time for new tracks and mixed up set lists. This train ain't stopping. They're too old for that and bringing in too much cash for it to stop. Chill out and savour the magnitude of this tour. It's been a long time coming. I totally agree. All of these shows look like a great time, and everyone going to them seem to be coming away happy. I know I did when I saw them last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexAxl Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I see people bitching about setlist again, for fuck's sake they are changing it up and you still have a problem. Stop watching every show on periscope, if you are so obssesed watch your favorite songs next day when it comes out on youtube. Don't expect huge changes in setlist because it's not that easy to do that. Edited June 8, 2017 by DexAxl 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzgold Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hey there, can anybody tell me what the "limited gift packages" for the VIP-tickets include in Europe? I got a Golden Circle ticket as a birthday present and would very much like to know what to expect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a nightmare actually. its very well documented how hard and streesfulll changing the setlist can be! You have to 1) choose new songs!, 2) rehearse them! 3) soundcheck them!, and 4) this is the hardest part -- you have to play them! Oh, not to mention that you have to create a whole new programation for 1) pyro, 2) lights and 3) this is really tough shit -- changes of costumes! really, its a fucking nightmare and the band has been working so hard and and no one seems to appreciate that!

Popular Post God of Thunder Posted June 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2017 Have also been to that show; front of stage 2 which was perfect for us, as I do not really need to be squeezed in the crowds anymore but still like to see a show from up close. It is absolutely amazing how much on time Guns are these days; they started very much on time as announced by the promoters at around 7:50pm and they played about 2hours 40 minutes. Had to run in from the beerstand to catch the beginning. Now as many people had always complained for so long about the late starts, the promoters must have really put a very expensive penalty in the contract for late starts for this tour The show itself was good with a good sound mix where I was standing, yet not completely awesome. Axl sounded much better in Dubai earlier this year, but it was still good, the raspy voice was not there most of the times though. Before they played Whole Lotta Rosie which sounded really tight; they play this one better than AC/DC - He said that his favorite little dog died this morning and as it was always most happy when it heard Whole Lotta Rosie he would dedicate this happy song to his dog...To me it sounded like he was joking though. In general very little interactions from Axl with the crowd, but he was smiling frequently and seemed genuinely happy. At one point during the show Axl put his arm around Slash for an instant, that was great to see...Before My Michelle he said that his song was a request from Frank. He really should get the baseball hat back on for NR, he looks great in that. In Zurich he was wearing a whole bunch of very ugly hats; only in the beginning his hair was open. Both Axl and Slash did a surprising amount of running around on the stage. The audience was as usual for Switzerland pretty lame and the early start in full daylight did not help the mood of the audience exactly though.... - I guess the people in the seats only got up for the last 4 songs. ... Although during Paradise City even the senior couple next to us startet head banging Having said that I think most people were happy with the show and it got good - yet not raving - reviews. The audience was very mixed but seemed much younger in general to me than AC/DC; surprising amount of hot girls in the audience who showed off their rock n roll outfits and finally wore their Guns Tshirt for a reaons....The tour Tshirt for Zurich was surprisingly good actually. It was nice to hear Don`t Cry (instead of Patience I think), the new intro to Better is great and I truely enjoyed the jam with Axl on the piano and Slash, that was awesome. Black Hole Sun was much better than I previously heard on Youtube. In general I like the setlist they play on this tour, they have all my favorites in there: Estranged, Coma, Civil War plus all the hits. To sum up the tour, with all 3 shows I have seen this far: Very professional, greatest hits tour with a long set that will make the casual fans happy. The wildness and crazyness of the old days is gone for good though, but I guess that is perfectly alright.

FOS 1 is smaller yet more crowded than FOS 2. FOS 1 is propably the first 5-8% of the total GA; FOS 2 maybe 20%.; the area right before the soundcheck. I liked FOS2 because you can stand close to the Sweet Spot of the sound and if you stand in the last third of that area you have enough space to move around to get a good view and you can enjoy the full view of the stage while still seeing in detail what is going on on the stage without needing to focus on the video screens. Btw. the areas are not separated in the middle, as I originally thought; as there were different tickets issued for FOS 1 A and B and respectively FOS 2 A and B. It did not matter if you had A or B. But I guess the setup also always changes with the stadium and the local promoter. Edited June 8, 2017 by God of Thunder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can`t really say that, as in order to get to FOS 1 and 2 you have to pass the seats and part of the GA first (on the sides of FOS area is GA; not the entire front is sealed off, just the middle), so there was no dedicated special entry for FOS if that is what you mean. I assume though, that at least for Zurich only FOS and people sitting in that area were allowed to use the entrances in the front and the rest of the GA had to come in from the back entries.

THEY made it hard to implement new "old" tunes because of the stupid mega-screen in the back with all the fancy-schmancy animation crap. Just drop the whole thing and give us the music and themselves... It's actually embarrassing stuff. Smoke and mirrors. But hey, to each their own, I suppose.

Popular Post default_ Posted June 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2017 Stop bitching about the setlist lol Europe is getting the tour for the first time, we may bitch about that if they keep it the same when they start the 2nd leg in countries they've already played at. Id be mad if they didnt play Coma and DTJ in the first time they came here. Plus stop watching all the fuckin shows on Periscope or youtube and get a fuckin life. lol 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
