I do not remember them even existing when I used to go to rock shows and I saw quite a few of these big old fart shows (e.g. The Stones, Metallica and Newgnr). Usually tickets were just demarcated between seats and 'general admission'. Exactly, it was always general admission. Which was fine since it was the same for everyone. Sadly, fans are buying those tickets to be in front of stage, which I can understand, but imagine almost nobody buys those tickets only a few times... It's up to us fans to change it back, maybe time to call out a GC boycott. Edited June 17, 2017 by Zurimor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Fortus talked about it. You know, it's not like Europe is a safe place nowadays... the threat is really high. A terrorist attack can happen at anytime. GN'R is a big American stadium band... it's an easy target. Honestly, If I were in the band I would be fucking stressed too and gloomy in Europe. Europe is in a REALLY bad place now. There are Islamists everywhere. It's an invasion. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbermade_baby Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I struggled to find signal once in the stadium. I loved every minute of the show. I thought Axl seemed really happy - seen them twice before 2010 and 2012 , he seemed a lot more into this show. I didn't have gold circle and was gutted but actually I stood round to the right and was right by the barrier and could see pretty well. Downsides were the drink prices and getting to the tube after , I don't think the crowd control was done well at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinewelly Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 How long was the walk from the tube to the stadium itself. Looked at a map and the time seems to vary from 10mins to 30 mins Anyone have the real answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GnRMisterE Posted June 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2017 Really quick review - and I'll do it based on my three buddies that came with me who have never seen GnR before and didn't know what to expect from the set list. And they were blown away. They couldn't believe how good Axl was. One did comment that his voice is not what it was but then did quantify that saying " but he is 55". Axl looked to be thoroughly enjoying himself and I'm so pleased that he looks happy. It's like going to see a totally different band. All my friends went mad when they started playing the Seeker and totally loved it. If there's just a couple of niggles - the kick drum was far too loud and the Chinese songs are the weak links in the set. And Gold Circle is definitely worth the extra money!! Early entry is not! We walked down to the rail after the gig and due to height of the stage you could see very little. We didn't queue to get in and got there at about 7 ish and we're about 50 feet from the centre of the stage with an awesome view! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby845 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Now this would be a perfect setlist only if they swapped BHS with Out Ta Get Me (that songs goes on par with My Michelle like on US leg and should not be omitted or vice versa) and Seeker should be replaced by Don't Cry. That's the perfect setlist!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, Yesterdays remains staple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Jungle really got it going, then LALD ramped it up again. All yhe big hits got large cheers and most people were singing along and standing by sweet child even in the gods. As others have said Axls positive attitude shone through and his voice was good enough and youtube videos really do miss the quality of the live mix. For example the opening jungle scream is even more amazing live. I had a pair of 14-15 year olds in front of me and it was interesting to watch them, they were in awe over the RQ solo and Slash. Also the stadium was horrid to get out, I parked in Westfield and it was a nightmare. Dont think I left the car park till 11.40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adler's Popcorn Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 AMAZING NIGHT THERE LAST NIGHT. We went up the river to the stadium on a boat on a 'booze cruise' and it was great to see so many fans sat in the sun loving life in the beer gardens. Really great atmosphere. The staium is brilliant, but the prices for food and beer are fricking daylight robbery! They defffo need to bin the CD songs as they really lose the audiance and as much as i love Slash, there was too much guitar nooddling. Apart from that, it was a great. show. And yes, SCOM at the right speed is soooo much better. To everyone going tonight, have a great night! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the days you could get "Golden Circle" for much less money, since there was only 1 categorie. And most bands don't even do that shit. So no, it's not worth the money.

Also, anyone knows if I missed the VIP reception and didn't get the tour gifts and all, could I claim it tomorrow hopefully? Thanks guys! The email says you can pick up the merchandise at vip nation stand anytime up until show starts, which I assume is when guns come on stage, you can't get it any other way Edited June 17, 2017 by spodoinklehorse Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
