Popular Post pastortine Posted November 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Got to make it out to the show last night. Something that stood out to me last night was just how much this band needs Slash. Personally, I'm a fan of Chinese Democracy, and think the album would have been much better received if Slash had been on it. That said, none of the guitarists that filled Slash's spot through those years came close to Slash on the charisma side of things. Here's what I mean; Fortus played some killer stuff last night. Technically, he is a better player than Slash all the way around. Slash is a blues pentatonic guy from the word go, and often a bit sloppy (in a good way) - Richard, on the other hand, has the whole bag of tricks, and pulls them off perfectly... dude plays so clean, and that hybrid picking stuff he does is sweet. (you guitar players know what I'm talking about - he's legit... even though I think his solo tone is a little on the weak side) But, when Slash plays there is so much more soul in his playing - he lights the room up, not just with his tone and playing, but with his charisma. There aren't very many guitar guys that can change the mood in an arena like Slash... just something about that guy. Back to my main point; Axl is just too big of a musical personality to not have a guy like Slash to match him in this band - It is THE spark that still lives in this band... at least live anyway. They are a dynamic duo. Here is a review of the show from The Tennessean I came across this morning: http://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2017/11/13/guns-n-roses-started-their-nashville-concert-exactly-7-p-m/859943001/ Edited November 14, 2017 by pastortine 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like Melissa, but did they turn her up in the mix quickly for that last bit? If so, interesting move... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before that you could clearly hear Duff and Melissa singing backing vocals. It was great, I hope they keep it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think most of the videos I have seen sound good or decent but nothing compares to it live. I only noticed vocal struggles on a few songs and all the vocals were blending and sounding good. Live it is bad ass. I read some where Axl and Duff both have been sick. I didn't notice it at all except for Axl spitting a lot more. He had a red bucket he was spitting in to. A few times though he just let it fly lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 But seriously, and perhaps someone reading this can confirm, is this not now the longest sustained amount of touring and performing Axl has been involved with since the Use Your Illusion tour?!

AxlRoseCDII Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 That Madagascar was f’ing amazing! I love the video in the background and how Slash and Axl both ran to the front at the last chorus This NEEDS to stay permanent in the set list, it’s fantastic with this lineup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoking guns Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Axl’s rasp on Madagascar was on Axl/DC level of badassery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl was really good. I think losing the weight has helped him tremendously. I usually am more of a Slash guy but last night I was really impressed with Axl's performance. It wasn't just the singing. He seemed like he was truly happy and looking at people like he was trying to connect. He smiled a lot too. I thought Richard was great. So for me it was almost opposite of what I usually feel like. I am usually loving Slash and Duff but last night I was more Axl and Fortus. Although I think all of them killed it. I also feel like Frank has stepped it up compared to the earlier legs of the 2016 N.I.T.L. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffdolls Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I will never, in all my decades of concerts, get over the fact that the price list listed 254.50, 154.50, 104.50 and 63.50 as the range of prices, ALL ALONG, and that the week before the show, instead of saying "hey let's fill this place up and do some 2 for ones in the upper level!" they instead said, "No let's do some ONE FOR TWOS in Pit 2!1" & charged double the 250 price!? It makes me wonder if I go to a hockey game that's 25 bucks around here...or a Judas Priest show in the future, and I don't buy my tickets on DAY ONE, are they going to say "sorry, that'll be 700.00!1!" day of the event. It's going to take me months to come to grips with the fact that all friends were allowed in for 250.00 each, but that I had to stay out, after attending GNR show after GNR show, because JUST I didn't have 500.00.
