Awesome shit @Lumikki!!! :headbang:

Funnily enough, the people next to me kept bitching about Andrei, saying that "that guy" looked like a complete douchebag and making fun of his leather jacket. They had no idea who he was, but apparently even casuals aren't immune to Andrei's douche vibes lol

About his jacket, lol, he was wearing the same in Lisbon, but it was night and the fuckin thing sparkled with the stage lights, it was giving him the full pimp vibe, I remember I was just thinking 'Duuude, what the fuck with that jacket?' The same happened with Axl's SCOM jacket, awful :rofl-lol:

Do you people realize that jacket is the SAME that Axl wears?? :rolleyes:

It is not shitty!!! It is the snake leather jacket from AMIRI but fuckin' Andrei makes it shitty because he shouldn't wear it!!! It sucks that he emules Axl so much and wears his same clothes. Stupid TB should let him know it is not cool to do that, just like you don't wear a white dress to a wedding! :facepalm::facepalm:

@Ratam you dont have to quote such a lenghty post in order to respond a couple of words. Don't get offended but it is not very pleasant having to scroll past such a wall of text to find the next comment.
Use the @ to tag people and talk to them, without having to quote a big portion of text ;)

@Lumikki, amazing review princess :wub:. (I hope you'll write the Vienna review for both of us since I will suck major Axl ass :facepalm:)

So....looks like you had a great view of certain parts of the guys' bodies :P. (still looks intact @killuridols :popcorn:)

Omg, that Andrei pic again :confused:. @dgnr you should show him where his place is (yiss, somewhere backstage....or at a hotel....or in a different city....different country...:smiley-confused2:)

 

Lol, since you all will have seen NITL shows by the time mine come, I expect you to give me advice....what to do...where to go....how to behave...:rofl-lol:...I'll be the last one to represent this thread :max:

@MillionsOfSpiders When are you leaving for London? :headbang:

Yeah, but what can I say, it's still an awful jacket in my book, even if it's Axl wearing it :P

:bitchfight:

The Women's Thread has the best show reviews :)

@Lumikki, thank you for your lengthy and detailed report, as well as for the pictures. Awesome post!

--------

Andrei... :rolleyes:  I thought his "job" was that of a "pimp", i.e. finding intelligent models for the shows and parties, but (thankfully) there has been no sign of these things since the European leg started - let's hope this won't change. So what's the purpose of him being there? Take pictures and wear Axl's clothes? :wacko:

45 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said:

So, they must have been in London for a while now and nobody's seen them or nobody has posted anything about it.

The usual in the UK then :max::( 

Why? Do they (Axl) usually hide when they are there?

Killer review, @Lumikki! I liked all the investigation about the guys leaving the hotel :P

And also, this is on Perla insta story. So Slash is in LA right now for Cash's graduation, maybe that's why you didn't see him leaving the hotel, @Lumikki. Find it cute as hell the man crossing an ocean in the middle of the tour just to be present on his son's special day, way to go Slasher :wub:

I can't believe he did that, he really is the best! He's everywhere like the god he is

It's really nice to see him next to Perla, I hope they're getting along well. Would be great for them and obviously for the kids.

Okay, where to start. I guess chronologically...

I arrived in Munich and decided to check out the town a bit first. Went by the guys' hotel (nothing much happening there) and went to see the Pop Up- Store. Lots of people there and even more confused people wondering what the hell was going on. Didn't buy anything though because I'm neither Axl nor Andrei and can't afford leather jackets for 1000€ or whatever. It was funny that the Guns N Roses Pop Up Store was on "Rosenstraße" = "Rose Street" though. Very fitting :P

I soon decided to go to the venue and when I arrived there I planted my ass under a tree right next to the entrance gate. So I spent all the waiting time sitting in the shadow. Best line up experience ever lol. When the gates opened I ran as fast as I can, but most places at the rail were already taken. I later realized that nearly all these people standing at the rail already had VIP wristbands. Both the more expensive "Early Entry Golden Circle tickets" and the actual ridiculously over-priced for what you get VIP tickets. Surprised they sold so many of the early entrance and the "Meet the stage crew for over 1000 Euro" tickets. But whatever, I still got second row and it wasn't even crowded. I'm annoyed that cameras weren't allowed in because from the spot I had and with no one bumping into me I could have taken some kick ass shots. But I saw Tako at the show as well and I hope she at least managed to smuggle her camera in somehow to take some awesome pics.

The opening acts were boring and I was just waiting for them to be over. I passed the time by watching Kat and Andrei mostly, since they were standing right in front of me. Andrei for some reason took a ton of pictures and videos of that girl from The Kills or whatever they were called. Funnily enough, the people next to me kept bitching about Andrei, saying that "that guy" looked like a complete douchebag and making fun of his leather jacket. They had no idea who he was, but apparently even casuals aren't immune to Andrei's douche vibes lol

Here's a pic for you @dgnr :awesomeface:

IMG_20170613_192338337.jpg

 

Then, finally, the GNR intros on the video walls started playing. I noticed they had some Celtic and Viking looking imagery in there. I don't know if they just forgot to change the intro from Ireland or if this is their intro for all of Europe, but it was cool. Anyway the most important part:

The show. But what can I even say that hasn't already been said a million times by people who have gone to previous shows? They were great. All three of them.

Axl sounded great (couldn't hear any Mickey or whatever in a live setting like this), moved around a lot and was in a really great mood. He was all smiles the entire evening.

Slash was amazing too of course. I really enjoyed his solo spots, which is not something I'm usually into, but Slash makes boring guitar solos worth watching and listening to. I was also happy to see him wearing his black silk shirt. He looks so much better and classier in that than in dumb T-Shirts depciting orgies (or whatever it was that he recently wore :facepalm:).

Duff was great too, as usual. He wanders around the stage, looking like the coolest bassist ever. And I also got him to notice me and he smiled at me. That alone makes him the best in my book :P:wub:

Can't really say anything about Frank/Dizzy/Fortus/Melissa. I barely even noticed that they were there. Beta, Meegan, Nando, Andrei, Kat and Slash's bodyguard managed to draw my attention much more than they did throughout the show. Though I actually did notice Melissa's singing. Which is really nice. So I guess Melissa wins this one.
 
Other random things:
 
- Estranged was wonderful. I got a bit misty-eyed watching them perform that song in the same stadium the Estranged video was filmed at. After all these years. And with the same three people again. Kinda magical.
 
- Axl said "I remember this!" (talking about the stadium I guess) early on in the show and also "So this is what daylight looks like! Interesting." :rolleyes::P
 
- Yesterdays! It's one of my favorite GNR songs and I'm so happy they played it. Sounded great too.
 
- Also was very happy about them playing Don't Cry. I like Don't Cry more than Patience, but was expecting them to play Patience, so I was pleasantly surprised.
 
- Also was surprised about TIL. Not exactly my favorite CD song, but it was interesting to hear and see live. I liked the way Axl sang it and Slash's solo was beautiful. 
 
- Actually, now that I think about it, I really enjoyed Slash (and Duff) playing all the CD songs. More for the symbolic value than for the songs themselves (I like Better, but I can't stand TIL and CD), but still. Now I only wish they'd play some different CD songs (the ones I actually like) or some VR or Slash's solo stuff and I could die a happy GNR fan.
 
-At some point there was a really obnoxious girl who was trying to force her way into front row and kept throwing herself into everyone and bounced around crazily. Security pulled her out so fast she didn't even understand what was happening to her. The grim looking big guy with the long beard (I don't know what his name is, but I have seen him in a lot of pictures and videos) waved at her to come to the rail and she was all excited thinking she'd get special treatment or get to go backstage or something, but the guy just grabbed her, pulled her over the rail and told another security guy to escort her out of the stadium. She looked so confused and then indignant about what was happening. The other people in the crowd cheered when she was pulled out and GNR's grim security guy gave us all fistbumps lol. It was pretty funny. The guy clearly knows who he is working for and how Axl wants unpleasant people in the crowd to be dealt with. I've never seen security act so fast at a concert. In my experience, obnoxious people at concerts usually keep being obnoxious while security does nothing about it, so that was a nice change.
 
- I watched Beta and Meegan for a while. They appeared surprisingly close. Not sure if Meegan's just faking it because she has to or if she genuinely likes Beta, but yeah :shrugs:
 
- I did not notice people being bored by Coma or CD songs or whatever people like to claim usually. People around me were thrilled by Coma and sang along to it as well as the CD songs and cheered loudly for them. But then again I was right at the front where you'd presumably find the most hardcore fans.

- Slaxl: Not much happened, it was like @dgnr described in her review: Axl tends to touch Slash's back and arms a lot, but nothing really noteworthy apart from that.

- Drool report: No drool on Slash face as far as I could see :P

 

The next day I did some sightseeing in Munich and also stopped by the guys' hotel again. People were still waiting there, expecting that the guys would have to come out any moment now, but I saw Andrei leave the hotel and shortly after Susan and Grace left the hotel too, presumably to go shopping or something. So I figured they weren't going to leave any time soon and went away again because I didn't feel like pointlessly waiting around.

I was right, when I returned some time later, they still hadn't left the hotel. But the ominous black cars they use and the police were circling around the block, so I stayed and creeped around a bit. I overheard some security guys planning how they'd go about getting everyone out of the hotel. I was pretending to study a restaurant menu, but as soon as they realized I was wearing a GNR shirt, they moved away a couple of meters so that I couldn't overhear them anymore and continued their very secret conversation in hushed voices. They acted like they were the FBI or something :rolleyes:

Their secret plan seemed to basically consist of distracting and deceving the waiting people with decoy cars and stuff like that. They'd park one of their cars right in front of one entrance and people would run there. Meanwhile the guys could sneak out in the back and get into another waiting car there. A lot of people fell for that when Axl finally left the hotel. Then they heard the commotion from around the corner and came running back. They didn't miss much though, Axl crawled out of some backdoor next to the Hofbräuhaus and disappeared straight into his car. Duff and family had done the same thing over an hour earlier (though Susan posed and waved for a bit). Slash managed to mysteriously disappear without anyone at all seeing him. According to rumors he'd already left in the morning, but Meegan was still there, so who knows.

Anyway, I wasn't surprised by the whole thing being such a big production because I had already read about the various tactics they used to travel around in Craig Duswalt's book (among other things, they used to dress up other people as Slash and Axl to trick the waiting fans while the real Slash and Axl sneaked out somewhere else), but I'm not convinced that kind of thing is still really necessary these days.

All of this took place over the span of 2 or 3 hours I guess. Melissa, the fitness trainer, Natalia and the nannies were some of the first to leave. Duff and his family left some time later. Axl was the last (as far as I know, because I left too after Axl left). I can't help but wonder what the McKagans, Melissa etc. are doing meanwhile. Do they just sit around at the airport waiting for Axl to get his ass there?

Oh yeah, the concierge at the hotel also said that he'd talked to Duff and that Duff was a really nice guy and a "beautiful man" lol. He also said that he hasn't talked to Axl because Axl never left his room. But what else is new :rolleyes:

Also @MillionsOfSpiders, since you were speculating about their hotel in London- I figured out why they were staying at the Mandarin Oriental in Munich and not at the Four Seasons: Apparently they were banned from ever staying at the Four Seasons again back in the 90s after they thrashed an entire floor there :rolleyes: Or so some knowledgable Munichians told me. So I guess the Mandarin is just an alternative solution to them and not their hotel of choice and they probably won't be staying there.

 

Anyway, here's some shitty pictures (I didn't take many because my phone's camera sucks badly):

Great review, @Lumikki!

 

In regards to Axl touching Slash on the arm and back, it seems like Slash is the only one Axl actually touches in an intimate way. I'm acttually curious as to why it's Slash and not Richard or Duff. Was it also the same back when the band first started? As in Axl touching/being intimate with Slash rather than touching Duff and Izzy.

@MillionsOfSpiders When are you leaving for London? :headbang:

I have to catch my train at 4:30pm and it'll take three hours to get to London, then I have to find the hotel which with my sense of direction could take another three hours :lol: Decided not to take my car because of my severe road rage, it was sparked a couple of weeks ago when I drove there and don't want that again lol!!

Why? Do they (Axl) usually hide when they are there?

No, to be fair. Axl was really nice to UK fans in 2012. I think London is an easy place for famous people to hide if they want to, no one really cares there :lol:

Of course, Just like Slash who always act "No Homo" only to Axl but not Duff N'His passive-aggressive on soc med only for Axl

Is Duff being passive agressive or is it Slash towards Axl? Sorry...confused on that one.

Do you think he's gonna sing this? "I'm back in fuckin' UK" :lol:

I think everything's gonna be great in the London shows this time :)

:wow: That's awesome!!! I hope so!!! 

Just finished packing and have to leave in 30 mins to get to the train station to get to London. :headbang:

I won't have time to do any snooping unfortunately :( One of the people we are going with really wants to see the Queens birthday parade :vomit:  on the second day, and on the first day we are just going to the show. The day after I have booked to come home really early in the morning because I will miss my kids. Sorry to be a let down :lol:

@Lumikki, your report was awesome, thanks so much! Loved to read it. I also sat in the shade in front of the doors, probably the same spot? Can't remember the people sitting right in front. I sat under a tree next to the guys with the music (I didn't know them though).

Anyway, how can I share fotos here? Before and during the Kills I saw Susan and Grace watching and cheering. I don't know why they were all so excited for that band, everyone hated them. When they announced their last song, people cheered first time during their gig. 

I might write a report later when I find the time. I am still in awe with the guys and the gig. I had such a great time and they really gave so much. I was so close to the stage (2nd row) that I made several fotos with Axl, Slash and me on the same foto. lol Silly things like that make me happy :awesomeface:

You Londoners, have a wonderful gig. Is it tomorrow or Saturday, I lost track? Anyway, be prepared for those  feels, they gonna blow your mind! :wub:
