Legendador Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 6 hours ago, F*ck Fear said: I have no idea what Axl was or wasn't doing, as I wasn't there, but Izzy only went to select shows. He wasn't touring with Guns N' Roses. Izzy would never last a two year tour that went off without a glitch! Everybody says that he's not reliable with long-term commintments. He never liked to tour and once he said he felt more comfortable if GNR was the size of the Ramones. Missed the guy for a couple of show. Maybe my hopes was to bring everybody out for the final gig, but... I still think that someday they will do it, even if it is for a special occasion, But, knowing how GNR works, they will do it in a bowling alley for somebody's birthday with 100 "fans" or "friends" in it. Might be cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds great. The band sounds great. And Axl looks totally happy and energetic, excited to be performing. WTF happened? So much energy and momentum and then, just, nothing... Great show, but people rate 2006 highly but didn't Ask have a bad one in Rio that year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lame ass security Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Axl really was in fighting shape in 2006, looked and sounded fantastic. Whatever regimen he was doing then was obviously working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-p-d-a Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Rock Am Ring 2006 is the best concert in the post '93 Era. His voice was on point, he was in a great shape, he looks really bad ass during WTTJ. He really looks like modern Rockstar with new style and... new songs.. I really wish Reunion would happend in 2005 and not 2015 (semi-reunion). His voice is absoluty unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, there was lots of "Axl sounds like shit", "Axl looks ridiculous", and lots of complaints about the guitar players in '06. And listening to the "Donnington Micpad Massacre" bootleg, his voice was definitely off/cracking/straining at times. But he could still "bring it" at the flick of a switch.

Evil Doer Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Interestingly enough, 2006 in Worcester Ma is the worst Guns show I've ever been too, by far. I don't think it was the fault of the band, it was just terrible sound. Couldn't hear a word Axl was singing almost the entire show. Axl got pissed at one point and tried to storm off stage, Tommy stopped him. I remember Axl saying a few times that he couldn't hear anything. I've seen Guns in 93, 02, 06, 11, 12, 16, and 17 and 06 was by far the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tommy smashes his bass before jungle solo and goes off stage, maybe due to sound troubles) The mix from the tv broadcast wasn't too bad, but the mix from the webcast was awful (Pitman louder than Axl, Bumblefoot's guitar muted during his don't cry solo...). Luckily that bootleg isn't as common as RAR, where he did a killer performance and that's why most people like 2006. As you can see, it wasn't his best show Edited January 7, 2019 by fanfzero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember '91 because MTV showed a few songs from their performance and I was stoked. I had a feeling that '91 was going to be epic.

ChristianGNR Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Rock am Ring is a good show, but it’s not even in top10 shows from 2006 in my opinion. In that era, I used to collect bootlegs, and I can remember that nova rock, download (both Dublin and uk), graspop were much better shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I wish they would have released a dvd of the LA 2006 shows. Could have selected the best performances of the individual songs as they played two nights. Those shows were fucking awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, 2006 was amazing. Axl was really on point. Great vocals with ALOT of power. Great looks. Too bad the semi-reunion didn't happen then. UYI tour, 2006-07 and 2016 was my fave GN'R/Axl years to date. Exactly this, with the release of CD in 2008 as another key momentum for me in the band's history. 2006 Axl was so bad-ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting a YouTube link here is a death sentence I don't understand why those cunts at GNRLies are still being allowed to get away with this shit. The one little prick is just a bedroom dweeb and the troll who runs it is a sad sack who's never even been to a GN'R show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR 1991 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Out of all the crazy events of 2006 in the GnR world, the thing that amazes me the most is that the band apparently played the AFD version of You’re Crazy at a show in West Virginia. No video, no audio. Nada. The band hadn’t played that version of YC since I don’t even know? 1988? And never again since 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
