So now it's the crowds fault? Maybe the band and/or the setlist had something to do with it? I donno. Just thinking outloud. Seems like there is always an excuse.

I don't think the average fan cares about the setlist. Blame should be place on the Band/producer for starting Bach at almost 9pm on a Sunday night. With three acts, the show almosts has to run until 2 am. I didn't think the wait time between Papa Roach and GnR was that excessive. I just think they should have started the whole thing at 7pm.

Ideally

Bach 7pm to 7:40
Roach 8pm to 9pm
Guns 10pm till Midnight.

I don't think the crowd would have been so lifeless with that schedule and GnR could have given us our customary 1 hour wait between acts.

Me and my friend were screaming our asses off and jumping around down on the floor but we were surrounded by a bunch of duds who kept shooting us dirty looks like we were bothering them. I don't understand why ppl get pissed at concerts. It's going to be noisy, ppl are going to be crazy and you're going to get bumped into. Maybe even have a drink spilt on you. But WHO CARES?! that's why the crowd sucked cause there were so many moody fuck heads who get pissed if someone accidently touches them!!

Sorry-had to vent. But I had a blast and if the crowd was so bad why did Axl keep complimenting us saying what a good crowd we were? Couldn't have been that bad then.

awful crowd, felt bad for the band..people sitting and justr standing very quiet..was upset about it...energy was nothing like hammerstei..


toomany solos and too long...too much bullshit in between songs...And the new stuff takes the air out of the crowd and on sunday night at 1am its hard to get them going again...The old classics had people singing and rocking, and then two new songs noone new made everyone run for the bathrooms or sit down..If we had an album theses shows would be much much better...MSG on a friday should be a lot better and a much more enthusiastic crowd.

looked abit empty in that arena.


How?


In one of the photo's it gives the impression of an empty'ish area. In some of the other photo's it looks filled up.




I already stated that I went to the box office durring the show and the show was OVER 90% sold out. The earlier pictures show an almost filled arena. As time went buy obviously more people left. More than 90% of the tickets were sold period...

There is no way that place was 90 per cent filled. No matter what the box office told you

Yeah, no way it was 90% sold out. I looked all over and there were sections, not seats, that were empty. If you're gonna insist it was 90% sold out then either the box office lied to you or you're just in denial of the fact that GNR just isn't as popular as they once was....
