  1. Oh shit yeah! It’s surprising that they decided to go ahead and play without Axl, because there must have been similar occasions of his absence before this, and certainly there were after - so I wonder why did they choose to play without him this time? Also which gig / set list was this, presumably that gnrontour site lists it?
  2. Thanks, Archivist! It’s truly great work that you’ve done documenting all this stuff.. And these excerpts shine a light on what happened this day in Texas
  3. Please do! - It would be interesting to hear this, it can’t be worse than Bridge School or whatever, lol… I bet it’s actually just very ‘raw’ Rock n fn Roll..
  4. Sorry yes, for some reason I typoed 89, every true Gunner knows there were fuck all GnR gigs in 89 apart from those you mentioned.. Jeez I wasn’t even high when I made the post, fuck knows why I made that schoolboy error, lol
  5. Quite fun to watch! The Paradise improvisation is a bit of a mess because of the backing band but it’s just a bit of fun anyway. interesting to see Axl with the Great White singer, I thought GnR hated Great White because of stuff with Niven etc
  6. Slash has said that Cowboys Stadium 1988 was (original) GnR’s worst concert, but he doesn’t really specify why. I’ve never seen any footage or heard any audio, so always wondered what was so bad and why. I’m guessing there were probably technical issues with the PA that caused a fuck up, and maybe some other logistical problems.. anyone know anything about this? Here’s the original quote: Metro: What’s the worst gig you’ve done? Slash: "Guns n’ Roses playing Cowboys Stadium in Dallas in 1988. It was horrific. Everything that could go wrong went wrong and the band didn’t have enough experience to handle it properly. It was a huge disaster in front of 65,000 people. We fell apart on stage. It’s stuck with me ever since.”
  7. I'm astounded no one's yet mentioned that in this interview Tommy utters the immortal words "all things considered"
  8. But…. What does he mean “despite”? This guy not know it’s totally normal to tour the world earning $billions singing punk songs in a Disney style? 😅 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/23/punk-legend-wreckless-eric-storming-spotify-whole-wide-world-leisureland-covid
  9. I don’t see why Fortus is regarded as someone who could only fill a rhythm role and not traditional lead. Listening to him duel with Slash, you can hear he matches Slash’s ability pretty easily. It’s just that Slash has that extra presence due to his legacy. Put it this way, Fortus is much more capable of lead soloing than Izzy, great as they both were. The main thing that gives Fortus the image of being a rhythm rather than lead is not lack of ability, it’s that he is a dude with straight black hair often playing a white hollow bodied guitar and standing to Axl’s right on stage, playing the rhythm part.
  10. why not, Rogan was endorsing Bernie Sanders, so they both ‘lean Democrat’
  11. It’s more about the early 80s LA music scene being influenced by the fast paced hardcore/punk sound of the time, they were listening to a lot of punk stuff and cranking the tempo / energy, with some metal infusion, hence songs like Reckless, Shadow, Nice Boys etc. fast Crazy obviously had a slightly different emergence as it began as them jamming around The Seeker by The Who, then creating their own song from that on acoustic (slow Crazy) then turbo-ing it into fast Crazy because of aforementioned punk / metal influences.
  12. I just tuned in and they were playing Bad Obsession , what did they open with and songs after that?
  13. Because it’s a good song, popular with crowd, and Axl’s reciprocating for the others learning CD stuff I like VR stuff, more than CD really, though the bulk of it is a bit generic. You listen through an album and it can kinda blur into one standard rock song. There is variation though, Fall to Pieces etc.
  14. Yeah I thought someone might pinpoint it to 1962, maybe Soulmonster knows
