Of course I respect their history and I get why they have so many fans. ACDC is a legendary band, no doubt.

However I don't feel that I have to worship them since their songs, with a few exceptions, do nothing for me.

And I agree, but when Angus comes out on stage you have to appreciate that you're watching one of the grandaddys, so complaining about him being at your show is just crazy. Complaing about hearing the seeker, wis you were here etc. fine, but when you have 'the' man in the house, why not play his songs. Having said that, I'd like to hear his take on Shacklers ;)

Since I'm not an ACDC fan I don't care for their deepcuts. I just don't like this song, it's so simple.

As I said, instead of getting on stage in a GNR show and playing a deepcut, they could play You shook me. It would be better for 99% of the crowd plus me.

 

The reason Riff Raff is played instead of something widely known/popular from the AC/DC catalogue, is that Axl "loves this fuckin' song", like he said the other time Angus was there :)

It pretty much is: http://ac-dc.net/acdc_setlist_poll.php

It's probably, at least partly, due to this poll that Riff Raff is played live again after 30 yeras.

I've had a lot of fun reading their forum (I lurk there sometimes). I laugh hard at many of them being butthurt because Angus brought back all these Bon era deep cuts because of Axl and he hadn't been playing them with Brian :lol: Also at the moaning and bitching about Angus guesting at GnR shows and "butchering the songs" :rofl-lol:

They are worse than GnR fans :lol:

Personally I've never complained about his guest appearances, only about the song choices.

Some reviews (all in Dutch):

 

Algemeen Dagblad (newspaper) is positive saying "Reunion Guns n' Roses succesfully makes it a memorable evening":

Telegraaf (newspaper) says "Guns n' Roses almost as it used to be": 

http://www.telegraaf.nl/filmenuitgaan/28628987/__Guns_N__Roses_bijna_als_vanouds__.html 

 

De Gelderlander (local newspaper) says "Guns n' Roses with a bang and fireworks in Goffertpark":

http://www.gelderlander.nl/nijmegen-e-o/guns-n-roses-speelt-knockin-on-heavens-door-voor-65-000-fans~aaa90efe/

 

Radio 2 says "Guns n' Roses with Angus Young at Goffertpark and a huge load of classics":

I'd prefer if they did back in black every once in a while, seen as they play riff raff and rosie, with or without Angus. I'd also like to see Angus split lead duties with Slash... not an extra long solo section, just a split of the regular length. I know Slash plays a ton of lead all night, but I'd still love to hear it. I always think Slash plays better when he's afraid of being upstaged by any other player... having said that, he's obviously conceded victory to Richard ;)
