I wouldn't forget them. The same way I will never forget the original lineup.

You just gotta change the wording to "Where the fuck was..."

[hitman81]

So much to recap. Here goes.. It was my first gnr show ever and it was worth the wait. I was in the very front leaning on the rail. Axl sounded at his best. The band was magical. The surprises were breathtaking. What did I do to deserve this??? I flew all the way from south Texas to see the greatest show on earth and thats what it was. It felt like I was in a dream and I was hoping nobody would wake me up. Out of a scale 1-10 I give the show a fn 20. It was that good. I will post more about the show when I get settled in. I wanted to say what up to hollywood rose aka Evan and axldemocracy aka Sal. Hey if you guys remember Mike and Tony from Texas that were in line with you most ot the day, I want to say thanks for being fn bad ass people. I had fun with you guys. Maybe we can do it again someday somewhere. Maybe in September when they headline this Calfornia's radio station's festival.

I wouldn't forget the new line up either.
In fact...the new songs sounded fucking GREAT live....to me,they were some of the best performances of the night!
I was highly impressed!
I think that once the cd drops and people en mass (not just the die hards) get to hear the new material and get USED to it,GnR will be right back on top of their game.

All you people sitting at home watching the Ritz '88 and slagging the new band,be careful what you wish for.

Axl is a middle aged man,Izzy is a middle aged man...they look it (they can't help that,bodies change)...hell,Duff looks it...they all fucking do.My point is...longing for the Guns of old is just wishful thinking.
They are men with children,who know that excessive partying has consequences.They've NOW learned the importance of saving their money.

They grew up.

The bad ass gonna die young era has passed.

Axl has matured...it shows in the song writing.
Writing songs about cheap wine and burying women in the yard wouldn't cut it now.
Performing them is cool though,it's part of the legacy.

I saw GnR 5 times in the 90's,and for me...the Hammerstein shows don't hold a candle to the first time I saw them in '91.
BUT...Hammerstein was fucking cool in its own right.It was in the here and now.
It's like Kiss...the phenomenon grew bigger than the members.Fans were willing to accept new members and move on.Then comes the reunion,Gene Simmons with white make up on his double chin tightly squeezed in to his leather gear.Lots of people got the opportunity to see the original guys in make up (a life long dream for some and walk down memory lane for others)...but...it was NOT the same band hungry for success,lean mean and giving it their all.It was a cakewalk.

The same thing applies in this case,Axl is still an incredible front man...there's no denying that.
But he's not 26 and fresh off the streets with a huge axe to grind.
He's 44 and was chaufeurred to the shows from Trump tower.
And that's fine...he's EARNED his success!

But to wish for an original member reunion...you'd best have a monkey's paw that will transport you back in time if that's the only GnR you will accept.It will NEVER be the same as it was...never.

Axl isn't a streetwalking cheetah anymore,but he still has a heart full of napalm,and that's the key ingredient that makes the new GnR compelling to me.

Hammerstein May 17 jumped to my all time best small venue shows (with Black Flag,and Dead Boys at the Ritz).
In fact,I saw Velvet Revolver on the club tour...it was cool,but GnR Hammerstein blew it out of the water!

I've noticed that a few people who were shitting all over the new Guns,went to the Hammerstein and came back believers.I'm certain it's going to happen a lot more.
This is SO much better than '02 (which was still pretty cool the 2 times I saw it).

I have a feeling certain naysayers around here secretly have tickets and are excited to go.
I hope you can clear your mind and enjoy it...regardless of the band name and who you feel should be in the line up...this is a damn good band!These guys as a collective unit kick serious ass,and they are dead serious about it.

For those of you who have already accepted the new GnR and have tickets to an upcoming show...get ready,you're in for one hell of a treat!You WILL be blown away!

cheers...and enjoy!

Dude my GNR expirience that day was totally unbelievable. I arrived when the line was already many blocks down but I ended up right up front holding onto the bar and it was incredible. I thought I was gonna faint when Axl was only about 4 feet away from me. The lady next to me bought a rose to give him and I helped her get it to him and in return he winked, it was so cool. Axl's voice is still the same, he was on! The best show of my life.. once again I'm excited about Guns N Roses and I can't wait for CD.

I found my love for GnR again. haha I've been listening to them all day.

cause this FAT FUCKING ASSHOLE kept on elbowing my girlfriend in the head. Almost got into a fight with him so I had to leave the front. On the way out I did kick him square in the face with my boot and spat right in his mouth FUCKER!!

"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!" - Guys Chanting

I remember that!

Actually the security was pulling a lot of people out. Thank god where I was it was really calm (on the left side of the stage)
Security were awesome though, they gave me and the people around like 2 big cups of water.

[ElChino]

GOT INSIDE THE HAMMERSTEIN IN TIME 2 CATCH THE LAST 3 OR 4 NUMBERS OF OPENING ACT "BULLET 4 MY VALENTINE"...COULDN'T REALLY TELL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IF THEY WERE ANY GOOD CAUSE IT WAS JUST 2 LOUD...WITH THE NOISE LEVEL IN THAT PLACE, UNLESS U'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE BAND'S MATERIAL, IT'S HARD 2 FOLLOW ALONG AND TELL WHAT'S BEING PLAYED...U CAN HEAR A PERFORMER'S VOICE, BUT NOT REALLY MAKE OUT WHAT HE'S SAYING...THAT WASN'T A PROBLEM WITH GNR CAUSE I KNOW ALL THE SHIT, BUT COULD BARELY UNDERSTAND WHEN AXL SPOKE 2 THE AUDIENCE (

SO BFMV LEFT THE STAGE AROUND 10 AND THE LONG WAIT BEGAN... FINALLY, AFTER 90 FUCKING MINUTES, THE LIGHTS GO DOWN, THE CROWD ERUPTS, AND I NEARLY SHIT CAUSE THE MASTER'S ARRIVAL IS NOW MERE MOMENTS AWAY...MUSIC STARTS, JUST A KIND OF GUITAR TONE WHICH IS BARELY AUDIBLE OVER THE CHEERS OF THE CROWD...IT'S COMPLETELY DARK, AND I CAN SORTA MAKE OUT SOME MOVEMENT ON THE STAGE...THEN A SPOTLIGHT GOES ON AND SHINES DOWN ON ROBIN, WHO'S SHED THE NINE INCH NAILS LOOK AND NOW RESEMBLES CHRIS ROBINSON...HE'S STANDING ON THE RAMP EXTENDING FROM CENTER STAGE, AND PLAYS THE OPENING "ECHO" CHORDS OF "WELCOME 2 THE JUNGLE"...BUT HE ONLY DOES THOSE 2 CHORDS OVER AND OVER, AS IF TEASING THE AUDIENCE AND MAKING US WAIT JUST A LITTLE LONGER...MY HEARTS'S FUCKING BEATING 1000MPH AND I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND ALONG WITH THE 3000 OTHER FANS

I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK THROUGH THE IMMENSE ROAR OF THE CROWD AT THIS POINT...I'M NOT SURE IF THE SPOTLIGHT DIMMED OR I JUST STOPPED NOTICING, CAUSE MY ATTENTION TURNED 2 THE SIHLOUETTE OF A LONE FIGURE SLOWLY MAKING HIS WAY FROM STAGE LEFT UP THE RAMP AND STOPPING NEAR ROBIN...THE FIGURE'S STANDING THERE LOOKING AT THE PEOPLE, I THINK ARMS CROSSED(COULDN'T SAY 4 SURE THROUGH THE DARKNESS), HEAD NODDING IN APPROVAL AS THEY GO INSANE...IT'S HIM

ALL I COULD MUSTER WAS "HOLY SHIT"...THE ROAR OF THE CROWD IMPOSSIBLY GREW EVEN LOUDER, I'M GETTING CHILLS THINKING ABOUT IT...U CANNOT BEGIN 2 FATHOM THE PURE MAGNETISM EMANATING FROM THIS MAN...I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT WAS GOD STANDING RIGHT THERE ON THAT STAGE...AXL AKBAR!...AXL AKBAR!...HE COULD HAVE JUST TURNED AROUND AND WALKED OUT AT THAT MOMENT AND IT STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST CONCERT IN HISTORY

BUT HE DIDN'T...HE REMAINED ABOVE HIS ADORING DISCIPLES AS ROBIN AND CO. BEGAN THE INTRO 2 "WELCOME 2 THE JUNGLE"...LIKE A ROLLER COASTER, THAT SONG STARTS SLOWLY, CLIMBING LITTLE BY LITTLE, BUILDING IN INTENSITY AS IT GOES ALONG, THE ANTICIPATION GROWING 2 A FRENZY...AXL DIDN'T DO HIS USUAL "HOWL" WITH THE MUSIC...HE JUST STOOD THERE...AND AS THE INTRO REACHED ITS PINNACLE, ALONG WITH THE NOISE FROM THE AUDIENCE, HE HIT US WITH A "DO U KNOW WHERE THE FUCK U ARE!!!!!!!!!!"...I FUCKING DIED

FINALLY THE COASTER REACHED THE TOP...AFTER ALL THE BUILD UP, THE INTRO CONCLUDING WITH ITS FINAL DRUM/GUITAR IN SYNC NOTES, THE SONG, STAGE AND AUDIENCE ALL EXPLODED LIKE PETER NORTH IN UNISON AS "WTTJ" KICKED INTO HIGH GEAR...THE PYRO WAS COOL, BUT THE BOMBS SCARED THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF ME...THROUGHOUT THE SHOW I WAS USUALLY ABLE 2 ANTICIPATE WHEN A BOMB WOULD GO OFF, AND COVER MY EARS ACCORDINGLY, BUT ONCE IN A WHILE I STILL GOT CAUGHT BY SURPRISE (...AND THE HEAT FROM THE FLAMES WAS INCREDIBLE, EVEN FROM WHERE WE WERE...CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HOT IT GETS ON STAGE...FUCKING HETFIELD

AXL LOOKED FANTASTIC...ANYONE WHO TELLS U HE'S HEAVY IS A LYING COCKSUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!...REMINDED ME OF ICE-T IN NEW JACK CITY, BRAIDS IN A PONY TAIL, SHADES, WEARING A BLACK SHIRT AND JEANS...SAME GEAR AS THE PREVIOUS SHOWS, WHICH LED ME 2 BELIEVE THEY WERE SHOOTING 4 SOME SORT OF VIDEO OR DVD...SAW A BUNCH OF CAMERAS THERE, SO I HOPE THAT'S THE CASE...HE STILL HAS THE VOICE, THE GREAT MOVES, EVERYTHING...I COULDN'T BELIEVE I WAS ACTUALLY THERE WATCHING HIM...I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT

THE CROWD SANG "WELCOME 2 THE JUNGLE" WORD 4 WORD, AS THEY DID EVERY OTHER SONG, EXCEPT 4 A FEW OF THE NEW ONES WHICH HAVEN'T BEEN HEARD BY MOST...A LOT OF PEOPLE KNEW "MADAGASCAR" AND "THE BLUES", THOUGH...I MAY BE WRONG, BUT I THINK AXL MIGHT'VE SAID "SHA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA KNEES, KNEES" AGAIN AFTER THE SECOND VERSE, INSTEAD OF "FEEL MY, MY, MY, MY SERPENTINE"...WTTJ WAS FOLLOWED BY "IT'S SO EASY", "MR. BROWNSTONE" AND "LIVE AND LET DIE", AFTER WHICH AXL ADDRESSED THE CROWD...AS STATED EARLIER, I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS SAID, BUT I'VE READ THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT "SOMEONE FROM A TIME OF TRUANCY" IN HIS PAST, SOMEONE HE GOT INTO TROUBLE WITH GROWING UP AND SHIT...WHICH FITS, BECAUSE THE WORDS I DID HEAR CLEAR AS DAY WERE "LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, MR. IZZY STRADLIN"

IZZY ENTERED STAGE LEFT AS THE CROWD WENT BONKERS!...HE SALUTED THE FANS AS AXL APPROACHED AND THEY EMBRACED...I FUCKING MELTED...IT WAS TRULY BEAUTIFUL...THROUGH ALL THE SHIT, THESE GUYS GO BACK OVER 30YRS<333...THEY PLAYED "THINK ABOUT U", AND AS AXL SANG "OOOOH, IT WAS THE BEST TIME I CAN REMEMBER", I THOUGHT "FUCK YES"...IZZY LEFT AFTER THE SONG 2 A CHORUS OF "IZ-ZY! IZ-ZY! IZ-ZY!" FROM THE AUDIENCE

A ROBIN SOLO FOLLOWED, WHICH SEGUED INTO "SWEET CHILD O' MINE"...THAT OPENING RIFF MADE ME THINK OF SLASH...NOT IN A "I WISH HE WAS HERE" OR "I WANT THE ORIGINAL BAND 2 REFORM" WAY, CAUSE I DON'T...JUST THAT IT'S PROBABLY THE RIFF HE'S MOST IDENTIFIED WITH...BUT THAT SONG IS JUST AS MUCH AXL'S, AND AS HE REEMERGED, IT WAS ALL ABOUT HIM AGAIN...THEN CAME A SONG THAT I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE BUT KICKED TOTAL ASS...COULDN'T FOLLOW THE VOCAL LINE AS WELL, BUT THE GUITAR ROCKED...IT WAS "BETTER"...CAN'T WAIT 4 THE CD!...THEN CAME "KNOCKIN ON HEAVEN'S DOOR"(NICE INTRO WITH AXL 'OOOH OOOH'ING), A DIZZY PIANO SOLO, "THE BLUES", RON THAL SOLO(PEOPLE CALL HIM BUMBLEFOOT, BUT THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE NAME OF HIS BAND), AND "YOU COULD BE MINE"

AXL THEN SAT AT THE PIANO AND PLAYED "NOVEMBER RAIN"...ABSOLUTE MAGIC...THE WALL OF SPARKS FALLING FROM THE CEILING WAS A NICE TOUCH...NEXT SONG STARTED, POUNDING DRUMS AND A HARD RIFF...4 A SECOND IT SOUNDED LIKE SLAUGHTER'S "THE WILD LIFE", AND I WAS LIKE "WHAT THE FUCK??"...BUT IT WAS "OUT TA GET ME" AND THEY FUCKING KILLED IT!...JUST AWESOME...GREAT INTERRACTION WITH THE CROWD...FORTUS AND FINCK THEN DID DUAL SOLOS, I THINK CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S "BEAUTIFUL" WAS AMONG THE STUFF THEY PLAYED...ONLY THEY CAN MAKE THAT GARBAGE SOUND GOOD

AXL COMES BACK OUT 4 "MY MICHELLE" AND INTRODUCES SEBASTIAN BACH, WHO RUNS OVER 2 AXL AND GIVES HIM A BIG HUG...HE MIGHT'VE ACTUALLY PICKED AXL UP, COULDN'T REALLY TELL...BAS HEADBANGS LIKE CRAZY WHILE PERFORMING...SONG ENDS, BAS LEAVES, AND THEY GO INTO "ROCKET QUEEN", WHICH MADE ME SO HAPPY CAUSE THEY HADN'T PLAYED IT IN 1 OR 2 OF THE EARLIER SHOWS...AXL OCCASIONALLY READ THANK YOUS FROM A PIECE OF PAPER...THE ONES I CAUGHT WERE THE NYPD, THE HAMMERSTEIN(PRONOUNCED IT HAMMERSTEEN), AND SEBASTIAN...THERE WERE MORE

AFTER "ROCKET QUEEN", IZZY CAME BACK OUT 2 DO WHAT AXL CALLED ANOTHER IZZY SONG, WHICH WAS "PATIENCE"...MORE MAGIC...SOME HAVE SAID THEY SAW IZZY'S EYES WATER, WHICH I DIDN'T NOTICE, THANK GOD...OTHERWISE I'DVE GONE INTO FULL WOMAN MODE...HE DID SMILE ALOT, THOUGH, AND RAISED HIS ARMS HIGH IN THE AIR, SWAYING THEM SIDE 2 SIDE 4 PEOPLE 2 DO THE SAME<33..."MADAGASCAR" AND "I.R.S." FOLLOWED...DIDN'T RECOGNIZE "I.R.S." TILL I HEARD AXL SAY "FBI"...SOUNDED BETTER THAN THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT

THEN THE BAND STARTS "NIGHT TRAIN", BUT AXL DOESN'T SING ON HIS CUE, AND JUST SAYS "STOP, STOP, STOP IT"...HE LOOKS AT BRAIN, THE DRUMMER, AND TELLS HIM SOMETHING...I CAN'T UNDERSTAND SHIT HE'S SAYING, BUT PEOPLE SAID HE WAS TELLING BRAIN THEY'D "REHEARSED THIS 3 TIMES ALREADY"...AXL THEN SAID "THIS REALLY IS GUNS' N ROSES" OR SOME SHIT 2 THE CROWD, AND THEN SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING LIKE "THIS AIN'T NO BRITNEY SPEARS BULLSHIT"...I'VE READ THAT IT WAS TOMMY WHO SAID THAT, BUT AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS AXL'S VOICE, EVEN THOUGH HIS MIC WAS DOWN(THE IMPLICATION BEING HE'D BEEN LIP SYNCHING THE WHOLE NIGHT)...SO I DON'T THINK IT WAS REALLY A SCREW UP ON BRAIN'S PART, RATHER THEY WERE JUST FUCKING AROUND

SO "NIGHT TRAIN" STARTS AGAIN AND AXL DOES THE WHOLE "LOADED LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN, FLYING LIKE AN AEROPLANE, FEELING LIKE A SPACE BRAIN, ONE MORE TIME 2NITE"...BUT INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING IT UP WITH THE FIRST VERSE, HE SAYS "ONE MORE TIME" AND SINGS THOSE 4 LINES AGAIN...BUT RIGHT BEFORE THE FIRST VERSE STARTS, RATHER THAN SAYING "LOOK OUT", HE SAYS "MR. KID ROCK" AT WHICH TIME KID ROCK RUNS OUT FROM THE RIGHT AND THEY BOTH RIP INTO THE SONG...PRETTY COOL...THE WHOLE CROWD SURGED 4WARD, I'DVE PROBABLY BEEN KNOCKED OVER HAD THERE BEEN NO WALL 2 BRACE MYSELF WITH...DURING THE SONG, SOME STUPID DRUNK SKANK FELL LIKE 3 TIMES IN FRONT OF ME...HER BOYFRIEND HAD 2 PICK HER UP AND DRAG HER TOWARDS THE BACK...SEEING AS SHE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT, I SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY 2 HELP MYSELF 2 A HANDFULL OF ASS(HER'S, NOT HIS) AS THEY WENT BY ME

AFTER "NIGHT TRAIN", EVERYTHING WENT DARK...ROBIN APPEARED ATOP THE STAGE, BEHIND THE DRUMS, AND PLAYED THE OPENING RIFF OF "CHINESE DEMOCRACY", FLANKED BY AN AMAZING LIGHT SHOW...LIKE "WTTJ", IT WAS AN EXTENDED INTRO, WITH ROBIN REPEATING THE SAME NOTE, UNTIL FINALLY THE SONG STARTED...THIS WAS ANOTHER OF THE TUNES I WAS MOST LOOKING 4WARD 2, THE ONLY DISSAPOINTMENT BEING THE ABSENCE OF THE LITTLE SYNTH LINE IN THE OPENING WHICH HAD BEEN THERE BEFORE...IT ONLY LASTS LIKE A SECOND, BUT THAT NOTE REALLY HELPS KICK THINGS OFF...HOPEFULLY IT'S RESTORED 4 THE RECORD...THERE WERE SOME COOL KEYBOARD EFFECTS LATER ON IN THE SONG, THOUGH...GREAT TRACK

ANOTHER ROBIN SOLO(HE'S DEFINATELY THE STAR GUITAR PLAYER IN THE BAND NOW) WAS FOLLOWED BY "PARADISE CITY" (...I WAS KINDA BUMMED CAUSE THAT'S THE LAST SONG THEY PLAY AND I KNEW IT WOULD ALL BE OVER SOON...I TRIED 2 SAVOR EVERY LAST MOMENT, AS CONFETTI SHOT OUT THE SIDE AND RAINED DOWN ON EVERYONE...AXL HAD THROWN THE WHISTLE INTO THE AUDIENCE, IMAGINE THE LUCKY SLUT/BASTARD WHO GOT IT AFTER THEY'D JUST BEEN IN HIS LIPS!...ROBIN DOVE INTO THE CROWD...AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT OF THE WOODS WITH THE STAGE BOMBS, *BOOM!*, ANOTHER ONE SENT ME HALF 2 HELL...I THINK EVEN AXL WAS STARTLED...HE THANKED NEW YORK AS THE SONG ENDED, THREW THE MIC INTO THE CROWD, AND LEFT WITH THE BAND...FUCK, I WISH I'D GOTTEN IT

ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF AS PEOPLE BEGAN FILING OUT...I'VE LEARNED 2 WALK SLOWLY AND NOT LEAVE TILL I C THE CREW TAKING THE STAGE APART, SINCE I GOT FUCKED OUT OF WATCHING POISON DO "TALK DIRTY 2 ME" AFTER RUNNING OUT PREMATURELY 2 CATCH THE BUS...HAD 2 LISTEN 2 IT FROM THE PARKING LOT...SO AS I'M TAKING MY TIME TOWARDS THE EXIT, THE STAGE LIGHTS COME ON AND AXL'S THERE WITH EVERYONE, EXCEPT IZZY WHO HAD LEFT...EVERYBODY RUNS BACK DOWN TOWARD THE STAGE, AND PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE TRY RUNNING BACK IN WHEN THEY HEAR THE CHEERS...AXL AND FRIENDS DO A GROUP BOW, WAVE AND LEAVE

AND SO ENDED THE GREATEST 2 AND A HALF HOURS IN THE HISTORY OF EXISTENCE...I'VE BEEN DOWN SINCE THEN, IT'S LIKE NOTHING ELSE CAN MAKE ME HAPPY...WHAT ELSE IS THERE 2 LIVE 4?...I'VE REALIZED MY LIFE LONG DREAM, NOW WHAT?...SINCE THE SHOW, WHEN I LISTEN 2 "WTTJ" OR "CD", I HIT THE REWIND BUTTON AT THE BEGINNING IN AN ATTEMPT 2 REPLICATE THE WAY THE SONGS WERE PLAYED THAT NIGHT, TRYING 2 RELIVE IT ANY WAY I CAN...I WISH I COULD JUST GO INTO HIBERNATION TILL THE ALBUM AND NEXT TOUR COME AROUND :\
