adamsapple Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I miss the stage banter in between songs, it was always kinda cool (not the throwing people out of concerts parts ) while holding some tension and sometimes transition into a song. Do you think it will return when they have new songs to introduce live on stage? I hope so, would love to hear about the songs first hand on stage and bring back some vintage GNR vibe with some good ole Axl stage banter.

Gnrcane Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 You don't appreciate his Elvis impersonation? At least at the 2018 Miami show we got his Trump-North Korea commentary leading into KOHD. I do wish he'd talk to the crowd a little more. Maybe even threaten to go home for old time's sake! I got to experience that (also in Miami) on the UYI tour when somebody threw a firecracker. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Ha - "new songs" (j/k) I think that what Axl would rant about now would make for some interesting if difficult conversations on this forum. But yeah, I also miss him interacting more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History2010 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I got to hear a decent amount of banter at the St. Louis show in 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matinator Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I would love that, but it seems like it depends on his mood more than anything. I was throwing together a bootleg compilation from the Sirius XM broadcasts and I found myself punching in extra stage banter from the Rio show cuz I felt he didn't talk enough.

WhazUp Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The shows from 2009 onwards have been a much less angry Axl and more rant-subdued which hopefully is a sign of being in a good place mentally - although I must admit I do miss Axl just completely giving random "fuck you" rants to people like Warren Beatty lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he told stories before a few other songs but they've slipped my mind. In 2011, even though he didn't really talk to the crowd much, he did kick someone out of the venue for trying to fight people. Then he said "The guy looked like Kumar and was trying to fight people. Well, he can go fight with his dick in the parking lot." But yea, since about mid-2010 he's been less, uh, spontaneous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I hope they play "Silkworms Ambience Down, Mono room off." I saw a rant on YT years ago where he was talking about how everyone thinks they have time to waste. "We aint got no fucking time" I wish he would stumble on that clip and listen to himself.

Popular Post RONIN Posted August 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Well the shows are getting rather dull these days and he isn't livening things up with one of his trademark meltdowns anymore. Since he isn't as chatty, they should just feature a rant clip introducing each song. Before the band comes out (after an interminable 2+ hour wait), play the Albany 2002 rant: " People say, you know, without Axl and Slash we wouldn't have had November Rain and Estranged. Well you don't know what the fuck I went through to get that guy to play those songs. Slash may sound like the De La Hoya but he's the fuckin' Vargas. And just because you have a bunch of guys agreeing doesn't mean shit." The confused looks in the crowd would be priceless. "Special Conan Donuts/Axl's white trash bistro" could be an intro for "This I Love" - a meaningful nod to Axl's ever-expanding waistline and bloated visage. Footage of the greasy bbq and pastry platters waiting for Axl backstage could be beamed on the screens to create a more sensory experience. This would be the emotional tour-de-force highlight of the show....."I'll never say goodbyeeee (to cake)". Free Krispy Kreme donuts are passed out during the song like in 2002. The donuts come with a copy of his show rider which demands a 5 course lamb dinner complete with Yorkshire pudding and Dom Perignon (personally delivered by James Hetfield). The audience soon comes to the realization that this is the reason the show started 2 hours late. A riot ensues. The circle is complete. For the encore, "Sorry" can kick off with the now legendary "He's in my ass, that's where Slash is! Fuckhead...go home!" spliced in with "Are you listening to me Mr. Security Man? That guy right there - gone!" "Sorry" could also serve as a public apology to the audience for Axl's wretched taste in fashion. Maybe his Cowboy costume for KOHD could be thrown into a giant onstage bonfire at the end of the song as a powerful symbolic gesture of his repentance. A Sharon Maynard/Yoda-inspired exorcism of sorts. Whatever the case, his entire wardrobe getting tossed into a flame pit will no doubt be a cathartic release for the long suffering band and the fans. A standing ovation moment if there ever was one. The ending of the show needs to be special and cap off the night spectacularly. Forget fireworks. What better way to do it than having special guest Mike Patton come out on stage to shock and awe. In a nostalgic throwback to the Faith No More antics on the Illusion tour, Patton can encourage the audience to pelt Axl with trash while he takes a whiz on the redhead's teleprompter. The crowd of course is only too happy to oblige, chucking everything they have at Rose. In a twist of fate, it's Duff that gets knocked out with a bottle of piss. Punk as fuck. The band is promptly bottled off the stage a la the 2010 Dublin O2 show. Just like old times. Sulking, Rose wraps himself in a giant bathrobe and buries his face in a massive cherry pie as Fernando excitedly talks about his latest designs for the new GnR dildo collection. Fin.

Axl_morris Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Old axl was in full swing at the stade de France show during Better. He still has banter between songs if you have been to enough shows.

Hollywood Gunner Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 i wouldnt be surprised if the promoter has a "no-rant" clause... doesnt seem like anyone wanted to leave anything up to chance... i wouldnt even be surprised if the stagnant setlist is due to some type of contractuel agreement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
