Dangelus Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Just got back. Had an INCREDIBLE time. I thought Axl was in great voice (just check out Jungle and, more tellingly, Sweet Child o Mine for evidence), Slash is a beast and it was a great party atmosphere in the stadium on a beautiful, warm summers evening. Couldn't believe how early they went on too. Expectations exceeded, you need to catch this show. Best Jungle and SCOM of the tour? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank was way too loud in the mix and that's definitely something that doesn't affect the show in a positiv way. There were volume changes throughout the songs and all in all it was just a bad sound up there where I was seating. The crowd around me was pretty boring but the crowd in the standing was amazing. Way better than Munich. They seemed to be really into it. They probably didn't have any sound issues. I had no issues with Axl but Slash didn't have had his best day I think. He was awesome on some songs like Estranged, SCOM, NR and PC but not that good in some others like TIL, Yesterdays and KOHD IMO. Those songs I enjoyed much more on Tuesday. All that, and the fact that the stadium was pretty empty when the show started (there were people still attending the show during RQ and Civil War) is why I liked the show in Munich more. That said, it was still an amazing show with Axl giving his best and Slash mesmerizing the crowd. It's one of the highlights when Slash plays his Godfather solo that leads to SCOM. Other than that, people are stunning everytime during WTTJ and LALD that Axl still has such a power. His screams are crazy! Good review. The fairly early start time was certainly poorly communicated. The sound was good in GC but not amazing and I agree drums too loud at times. The broad daylight start is a definite mood killer also but not much they can do about that, by the time it started to go a little dark the place was rocking around me I actually thought the end of the Kills had better sound! I didn't have the same problems getting away, pretty much got straight into Stratford onto a waiting jubilee train and was in bed by midnight with some fried chicken:) If I ever do back to back again I need to make it night two where I hit the beers hard, currently in my hotel room nursing a water. I would make a terrible rock star 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunspride6 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Still think Frank isn't that great a drummer tbh. Sure he's okay but I was listening to the drumming yesterday and constantly thinking "This would sound so much better with Adler". Frank's drumming is just so basic and boring. But we all know how stubborn Axl can be. We won't be seeing Stevie for a while unfortunately Edited June 17, 2017 by Gunspride6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just something missing with him, his style is very boring as you say and doesn't suit the music at all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunspride6 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Anyone know why so many people didn't make it in until halfway through the gig? I was sat in my seat 2 hours before the gig started haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post uzi your illusion Posted June 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) 15 hours ago, Blackstar said: In the Patience video from 4:40 - 5:00 that is the voice that made me a diehard fan, and keeps me interested 20 years after I first heard them. I totally get that it's probably impossible for him to do a long lasting tour and use that voice from start to finish, and it probably did him a world of damage using it like that on the UYI tour. But GOD DAMN if it doesn't bring the biggest smile to my face when I hear it. I'll be attending my 3rd and 4th shows of the reunion later this Summer and I'll be happy to be there no matter what, but it's the small moments like this one that will really make my night.

Ro-Jaws Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Delurk.. Last night was so much better than I expected them to be. Was in GC, sound was good throughout, setlist was better than they actually played back in the day. Not much chemistry onstage though, unfortunately. At least Duff looked like he cared Took a bunch of pics that I cant be bothered to upload, heres a few.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donny Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 heres my 2 pence worth. awesome show ! just awesome. just a few complaints = the price and the queues for food and drink(stadiums fault not the bands) they played at least 8 cover songs but didnt have time for dont cry or sorry ? and why after such a crap support band why couldnt we be treated to a special guest ? stradlin, adler, tyler, perry come to mind. other complains are axls hat and richards nose but i think they have been discussed already. also when i last saw GNR in 2012 reese looked like an attractive young lady but last night she had the looks of a 50yr skaghead. of the 4 GNR concerts ive been to i would rate last night as second place after milton keynes 93 but better than birmingham/london 2012. would i go again ? YES and i cant wait. when are they coming back ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
