Hahahahah! just think about the irony of being a Axl/GN'R fan and wear that shirt!

Yes, i dig it!
Somehow it reminds me of Led Zeppelin and The Doors, the late 60s and 70s, when people like Jimmy Page would go psychadelic and play a guitar solo for 14 minutes!

Like Takeshi said, I can't understand why Del is taking a hit against the old fans that have their own life with kids and jobs today and are more or less called whiners because they can't wait until midnight to see the show. Yes GN'R is GN'R = Rock N' Roll.
But the fans diserve a little more credit for showing up, i mean most of us fans are happy if we can get a ticket for a night with GN'R. And after the show we all go back to our "normal" lives and what should we do then, just shut the fuck up and not talk about GN'R until the release of CD or next tour? Listen to AFD/UYI on repeat?
Anyway, rock on fans, best discussion for a long time in here. =0)
(yes it my own opinion so lets not compete)

The quotes in Madagascar = Amazing.
The intro to TWAT & Chi Dem= Amazing.
The whole Silkworms song = Amazing.
The muffled fart noises after the "Better" climax = Amazing.
Chris Pit(t)man = Amazing.
No, amazing is a song like 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond', a ten plus minute anthem by a collective band that also created countless minutes, hours and days of stunning music supported by millions of fans, history and time itself.
What you speak of above is a collective couple of minutes... that's not counting Silkworms because lets face it, that song is about the biggest pile of shit that's ever come out of any musical camp. The fact that it came out of GNR is laughable.
Take away the minute or so of Madagascar... which is really just a bunch of famous quotes taken from movies that any idiot could piece together on a cassette tape using out-dated equipment, and you're talking about a collective 30 seconds of synth work.
Excuse me, but whoopadie fucking do.
Furthermore, perhaps some of you 'not so bright' forum members should use the mellons on top of your head's a little bit more (don't hurt yourselves) and try to understand the English language a little bit better.
I'm one of the biggest 'new' GNR fans going. I'm simply stating the synth effects are not necessary in the old songs. They are already perfect the way they are and the synths don't do them any justice... ESPECIALLY Rocket Queen, YCBM and SCOM.
Finally, I never said I was not a Pitman fan. Just saying that the 30 seconds of decent synth work we've heard so far isn't worth some of the hype some of you pansies work him up to be. I'm excited to hear the album and gobbles of Pitman contributions and am sure he's just as important as Tracy and Roberta were to GNR back in the day (chuckle). Besides, I like to ruffle panties as often as I get and like to lay the truth out there because to some folks, w/o naming names so far in this thread, are obviously in a little pain reading the truth.
30 seconds, that's about it.
So, get up off your knees already, Pitman groupies.
THANK YOU!
Couldn't said it any better!

IT would be horrible arnold is now off sterioids. He would look like a 60 year old man in leather.
You mean like Rob Halford?

All of the above and..
DEAD HORSE
I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o' times
But now the dust is startin' to clear
Oh yeah!!!
BAD APPLES
When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch

That T-shirt looks like an Axl nintendo game shirt!

Did anyone else buy the laminate? I got that and it's really cool.
You can see it in this photo I took of my guitars.
Where did you get that snakepit guitar?

posted this in another topic...but someone told me to post it here as well..
Being only 20 years of age, but a fairly long-time gnr fan, I never had the opportunity to attend a GnR concert with the "old" guys. After seeing numerous bootlegs of the 2002-era, watching a older axl trying to cope with his own material while pulling of something supposingly looking like his old dancemoves. Helium-voiced with no sign of that wonderful rasp, in embarrasing outfits, and backed by miscalleneous freaks. Although I loved some of the new material, nothing was close to the young axl you'd see running around like crazy in the bootlegs that I got my hands on. This made me sad for a long time, I felt I had missed out on the last oppurtunity to see the last real rockstar perform as he once could. After the last fiasko I thought I wouldn't even get to see the shadow of the man he once was. I had never gotten asked if I knew where the fuck I was...I had never gotten to sing that I'm knocking on heavens door among 10's of thousands of people, and I was never brought down to paradise city..
When it all suddenly happened this spring, and I got my hands on the floortickets to see them live at the globe arena in stockholm, my place of birth, I was in extacy, altough still not too shure it would last all the way to sweden.
After waiting and waiting, and getting through 2 very boring opening acts (they're not helped by the fact that everyone's anticipating guns n roses), I was finally standing there , just waiting to hear those first echoing notes of welcome to the jungle soon to be followed by what was going to be an indication of the quality of the entire concert -Axl Rose's voice.
They're sheduled to start at 10...Myself I'm expecting to wait at least an hour extra...hey it's a long way to sweden... But then it goes dark...WTF???they're EARLY?? and the guitar starts...and my eyes have just adjusted to the darkness so I can make out Axl fucking rose standing there right in front of me...I can see him standing there in the dark....with my own eyes...
And there it is -"Do you know where the fuck you are????" cutting through the noise of 13 000 people as high and good as ever.... The following 2 and a half hours is just pure magic. I cannot see the slightest resemblence to what I've seen from the earlier fiasko with axl's new line-up. It's really axl, in a great mood, laughing and jokin, pulling of the highest notes effortlessly, at 40+ making the young opening acts look like amateurs. Axl was really back...no stupid out of time dancemoves...not out of breath, not mad at anything...with a great band.
My dream finally came through...I got to see the last rockstar, perform the way he should, the way he could, with the audience he deserved...because the audience was truly magnificent...
Although the funniest part of the show must have been dizzy reed's piano solo where he pulls of ABBA and 13 000 Swedes are trying to figure out the lyrics to a song by the Biggest product of the swedish musical wonder.
I leave the concert fully satisfied, immediately thinking about driving to denmark to see him again...
When I see the first review the next day, I'm not very surprised...but still dissapointed. 2/5...because the guy obviously couldn't accept the fact that Slash left 10 years ago....would the concert have been called "rose plays guns" he would have given it 5/5 undoubtedly...For anyone that was there cannot deny that they got to see what great rock once was, and hopefully will be reborn as, with the greatest rockstar alive...
Great review!
You wrote the things i felt but wouldn't take the time to write,
im 21 and living in stockholm so i can really recognize what you wrote.

They played rocket queen?
The only song i really wanted to hear that i didn't in Stockholm.
How was it like?

Gotta vote Pittman off the island 1st followed by Bumblefoot. This band doesnt need 2 keyboards or synths or whatever... I can't tell you how many mixes ive heard where the synth was louder than the guitars. Which is that much more crazy when you consider there's 3 guitarists!! I just don't see the need. It's a fuckin rock band, not the GNR Orchestra. 1 keyboard/synth and 2 guitars is enough, especially when Axl can play piano and a little guitar.
It's time for Axl to start making GOOD decisions here. I don't care who is in the band really, as long as it rocks like GNR used to. There's to much crap going on, too many secrets.
Im with you, though im glad that they're back and touring!

You mean champagne
what channel was it on?
That picture looks like it was taken at stureplan wich is a place with fancier nightclubs but as i can reacall cafe opera is a bit from there, same thing with berns.
You can see the top of an artmonument (? i don't really know the story behind it)
but its called the mushroom and theres phonebooths under it and its also a place where people often meet up their friends at. Thats what i would guess on, anyone else who lives in stockholm who recognizes the backround of the picture?

Richard Fortus should be the lead guitarist for GN'R. End of story. There should be no Bumblefoot.... GN'R does not need three guitarists. I think the lineup for GN'R would be perfect with Fortus/Finck. Finck should be rhythm and Fortus should be lead.
That is all.
Im with you Forsaken!
Though i like all three guitarists i think that 3 guitars sounds too much, i was at the STHLM concert and Fortus just kicked ass! Finck is great when he plays the new stuff that is his work, but when he does the slash solos it just don't sound the same, ofcourse not, because every musician interpret music in his/her own way.
-
I think that axl's got personal reasons for not playing songs like Civil War etc.
Songs like ain't it fun, down on the farm or black leather from TSI album,
sympathy for the devil or back of bitch would be nice to hear.
-
Anotherone bites the dust?
I heard that the guard pulled axls braids, wtf? what happened to fistfights?
I mean pulling anothers hair and biting the otherone in his calves ain't that cool...

i was meaning the opposite of don't.

Oh Man, fell asleep a couple of times, but Axl woke me up right away!
It started with WTTJ followed by Its so easy and mr. Brownstone(?).
Axl was a bit out of breath in the begining wich you could hear.
KOHD was AMAZING and it was good that Richard Fortus also got some time to show off by playing solo.
Didn't know he was that good!
I also liked that they all had this kind of jamming session that helped the show since Axl didn't walk around ranting as we are used to hear him do. He mentioned this when he sat down at the piano before NR.
Now to Ron Thal. Thal did do a couple things that i didn't feel for so much, it was the first solo that sounded like a broke gameboy, then his guitarsound on Rocket Queen that they could have skipped according to me.
But he did play a bit of don't cry and the crowd was with him the whole time wich was amazing.
Axl changed shirts a few times, never to something interesting though.
Dizzy got time to play and he chose ofcourse to play David Bowies song Ziggy Stardust.
I don't know bout people who actually was there but through the net i couldn't hear Axl and the guitars a couple of times in the begining.
Now im of to sleep, the time is almost 4:45 and the sun is up soon if it isn't allready.
Feel free to post the setlist.
-
HITS:
Fortus solo, Thal playing Don't Cry, KOHD was amazing!
MISSES:
Thals broken gameboy solo, Thals guitar on Rocket Queen, some sound problems with guitars and mike, especially in the begining.

Don't PM me the new versions!
-
While we're waiting for the real thing i have a little selfish thought, does anyone know where i can not find the newest songs?
-
Frankly speaking i would wait to play that song live and tune in the guitar for starters,the picking needs a little practice too. No offence pal.

Cool, sounds like you've must been standing almost next to me, it was insane seeing Axl so close!
