I was at the show too!!! Had the GA section closest to the stage... Was pretty much jumping up and down and pumping my fist the entire time- to every song and every note... that's how you could have maybe identified me in the stage left area (or stage right, depending on where your back was). Was wearing a dark blue suit. I think some people around me may have been annoyed with my behavior- but fuck them because to any die-hard, they were clearly not die hards but rather casual fans (nothing wrong with that... but try not to be mad about my enthusiasm).......

WAIT, actually... to clear up the direction thing... I was on the floor closest to where Finck was when he first came out to open jungle............. aAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHhhhhh fucking GREATEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE... No question... this was THEE greatest, most pinnacle moment of my life because of how close in proximity I was to Axl... the only thing that could ever top it would be shaking hands with the man himself... GREATEST NIGHT EVERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... Madison what seat did you have? Because there was this couple taking pictures of themselfs and the guy taking pictures of his girlfriend in front of me and the lady next to him was getting really annoyed.

:krider:


No, it couldn't have been me. I never reacted or said anything to the guy - it was just an observation. In fact, he joked with me about the woman in front of us who was passed out in her chair. lol.

I did chat with the guys behind me a few times when we were trying to figure out who it was that was spraying everybody with a "mysterious liquid." Was that you? Which section were you in?


Hmm probably not me then I was wayy high up in 400s section C i think? Seat 7.

Does anyone else feel that the old band performances sounded really empty and not powerful....listen to live era..some of the parts that should be powerful and energetic were pretty empty with only 2 guitarists. I think 3 guitarists make them sound so much fuller and more kick ass....06 MSG absolutely killed 02 MSG and there is nothing that Kaneda can say to change that....BUckethead was a circus act....and finck looked like a freak...the first time i heard buckethead was in GNR is said to myself "axl what r u doing????!!!"...but now this is the best gnr has ever sounded (except for sound issues with axl's microphone) IMO


and kaneda...fuck off

The show was awesome.. the crowd was great and everyone was lovin' it.

The best part was that Axl was in a great mood. It seemed like he didn't even wanna leave at the end he was talking as people were already walking out.

Not much to comment on the setlist since it was pretty much identical to the Jersey show.. excpet I think he played Night Train instead of Rocket Queen, or something like that someone correct me if that's wrong. But he was on for sure- so much energy, his voice kept ketting better.

Even though I wasn't in the pit for this one it was pretty cool because this way you can see the whole stage as opposed to looking up and not being able to see everything that's going on.


Great show! :wub:
Gn'R live ... 5/17, 11/5, 11/10 (2006)

I laughed out loud at this one. Are you trying to suggest Buckethead - with his yellow raincoat, bucket and mask who never mixed with the other band members onstage - had stage presence? roflmao. Ron has the stage presence of Mick Jagger compared with Buckethead.


I think Buckethead had a lot of stage presence in his own right. He was a nice contrast against Axl. I didn't like him before, but I've grown to appreciate him in retrospect, and think in 2002 Axl was trying to pass off a very unique band that, in 2006, has been altered to conform more to the classic "rock n' roll" image. I just hope the music is still really unique and wasn't altered as well. :) Some of the "out there" stylings of 2002 are gone now - the synth isn't as strong, the Bucket scales have been largely dropped from songs like The Blues, etc. Will be interesting if they ever release a full set of recordings and demos from the Democracy sessions years from now and we can hear the evolution of the music as the years progressed.

Yeah, the old band really sucked, didn't they? I think you hit the nail on the head that all the old shows sounded really empty and not powerful, yet our eyes and ears had deceived us for this long. Can't believe we all got off on it like we did as there was just that *something* missing that hasn't been found until here in late 2006--and damnit, its the 3rd guitarist(and 2nd drummer and 2nd keyboardist to be fair).

I dunno how the old band ever got the popularity they did with "only" 2 axe men. And just think how shitty and empty sounding a band like Rage Against the Machine was with those jokers only having freakin' 1 guitarist. What a sham.

Its 3 or nothin' baby!!!!

:rolleyes: :tongue2:

Go and prove us all wrong, or screw it up. And he screwed it up, simple as that."

It's ridiculous that anyone even still considers those real rock bands given what's happened here. Those poor dopes in Portland are probably the only ones DESPERATE enough to settle for original GNR or some other lightweights like DP or Sabbath.

Only a "soft" market like Portland wouldn't demand at least 2 guitarists...AND a virtuoso. But those chumps' loss was Worcester's gain... :xmassrudolph:

I was at the 2002 show, the tampa 2006 show and the msg and NJ shows.. i do like the band. The new songs can be laborous, but if i knew them better it would be better. I love madagascgar. I do miss Slash. Hey, i miss duff and izzy too. I think they should have a rolling setlist like the UYI tour. Buckethead is better than bumble, but i think "dont cry" is amazing.. and an homage to slash. Hey its not 1988 or 2002, and they will never be that again. I am a HUGE fan. So i am glad to see Axl, and i have said i think this is Axl solo , not gunsnroses. Robin is annoying to me, but a great player. We all have opinions, and its great to see all of them good or bad. I ve seen Guns 40 times, and believe me the original band had horrible nights. I mean they got slayed by metallica night after night. And im not a metallica fan. It just seems a little sad. The other guys just dont have the stage presence as Axl, and it shows. I wish them luck, I will buy the album and play it alot and get to know it. I hope it comes out soon, as we know us fans are the ones that have gotten shafted by this band over and over again. Guns N roses are one of the most successful bands of all time, and what would u think of Aerosmith with no original members but steve tyler? or led zeppelin ? Thats the level of this band, they are LEGENDS. Just call it "Hired Guns N' Roses" and dont hate on me. I love Axl, and these shows are fun. These statements come from a fan who loves this band like no other and want it to work so badly... But its hard for the new members to compare to Legends.
