Turned up about 9.55am with my 3 mates, with two others who'd been at the Friday gig. Was told that pop-up shop would be open at 11 and we'd need to queue along the wall. When I mentioned about the 'first 50 t-shirt' promo I was told it was only on Thurs and Fri. Didn't make sense to me. After getting brekkie instead of queueing we came back and bought some t-shirts. Was a cool set-up! But a bit disappointing to be the day missed out when we went out of our way to go to the pop-up shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericy210 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 We are now at the point in the thread with multi-paragraph dissertations on Axl's voice, with the same recycled points, comparisons, and speculation, over and over and over. Is the constant repetition really needed? Nothing new is being discovered or revealed in these high school-type essays. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get what it is that makes people jump on people that enjoyed a show and want to act as if they're morons that don't know any better. It's one thing to give your opinion and not like Axl's voice, the setlist, Slash's improv or whatever else, but why break down people that come here to share the experience they had? I'm now replying to you, but I'm not just talking about you, by the way, I've seen more posters do that. It's like those people you enthusiastically tell about your holiday, only to have them shrug and say that it's overrated and boring. Why on earth would you do that? They just came back from a show and they thought it was great and want to share. Oh, and him saying Axl sounds fantastic is his opinion, you saying he doesn't, is worth just as much. It's all just opinions. LOL, I'm glad I read your whole thread before I responded as I thought you were talking directly about me You make a good point that it can be disheartening for someone to have gone to a show, come on here and say "oh my god, greatest show ever" and then have everyone bash them or the show or whatever. I had real life friends do that after I saw them in Vegas and I had to keep telling them just go, you'll see.... As for the rest it was Alex and I like arguing with Alex he can take it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There use to be nobody to talk to about anything during the dark days...no need to bash people for contributing to a topic we clearly all find interesting Axl is the man at the end of the day, if he's bad the whole band is bad, if he's on the whole band is on. His vocals make all the difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band sounded good except for the last verses of Coma on which Rose struggled (he was almost talking it by the song's conclusion). Yesterdays vocally was clean and rasp free but still powerful. I didn't mind Slash's loose interpretation of the Yesterdays solo either - it was bluesy and improvised which is what Slash is supposed to be about, and it is his solo to do with whatever he pleases unlike guitarists during the previous era. I cannot believe some people expect Slash to play note-by-note versions of the studio songs like an automaton? This is what Slash, and by extension Guns, was never about! Slash's raison d'être is his bluesy looseness! You know he's going to nail coma when he hits this note at 3:12 and rounds it out into some gritty vocals But this would be the one to watch if you haven't been watching much, Axl kills the last verse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Irrespective of the side one decides to take here, ''Axl's voice'' is seemingly a more complicated subject than middle eastern religio-politics, the classical hexameter and quantum theory. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was loads of singing which was nice but very little jumping, bouncing, minor moshing. I was only 3 people back from the barrier in ga and it was just a little dull. Good music though, I enjoyed the show and although axl is not what he used to be it was good enough for me I think it's the GC that ruins the atmosphere, all the people who would go crazy and jump etc etc would usually all find themselves near the front but because of the barriers the crazy party people where mixed with the "singalong" "hold your phone up" people and the energy was sporadic and lack luster. + that piano/song intro to November rain was probably the worst thing I've heard at a rock concert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we can't discuss a new song just being perfomed in London, a new album just released or a new Axl interview because we don't have them. A lot of us would really appreciate to discuss all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dar97 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I had the best night of my life last night i was at the very front next to the rail, and i can officially say Axl still has it and sounds more then amazing he's a machine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I remember lots of complaints here during the NA leg last year about Axl's performances not being on par with his AC/DC ones in Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have slash's bluesy guitar that he plays with feeling and then there's Richard on a completely different wavelength. It doesn't sound anything like the music GnR plays, really hated it. totally agree, but the reason I did not write Izzy is that he does not want this band.

Zurimor Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 This Yesterdays actually doesn't sound that bad, way better than all the other records. A bit of Mickey maybe, but he sounds okay for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post marlingrl03 Posted June 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2017 So anyways....now that we have had a gazillion pages of needless bitching about Axl's voice yet again in this thread, time to get back on track w/some show pics! 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
