the definitive version.

Also the definitive album cover.

Osaka 2009 is the holy grail for me. 

Would be really cool If they did something like Metallica's Metallica monday, or even better a live Archive series via nugs (so that I Could buy and own concert).

Miss the hell out of that guy. Village Gorilla Head for the win!. Really wish he could have seen more of his work released while he was still with the band.

I miss him too, he is great! 

CD with original intro for opener. Or OMG 🤯

I think nightrain works really well as closer of main set, but would be a cool opener. Maybe November Rain, Rocket Queen or Jungle could close the main set instead. 

Jungle would be cool encore opener as well. 

Paradise City is a Great end of the show. See no reason to mess with that. 

Madagascar 😍

i know portuguese she says shes sick of margot as plain as day 

Ok, good to know that the translation is correct. Thanks! 

Then I can add that I think it is a shame to adress a fan in that manner.

Sorry to chime in.

It reads to me that Beta is saying that Margot is confused, and that she is sick of it, the video pulling, and not her as in Margot. I might be reading it wrong though. Maybe Margot posted videos that have been removed, and she has mentioned it to TB?

I also think there are different ways to read Betas reply, and if I understand it correctly it has been google translated as well?

I dont like Slash’s actual playing.

His past live performances were muuuuuch better for me.

He now noodles everywhere, and doesnt follow melodies as he recorded them.

Ive always LOVED his live performances (80’s 90’s) and now I feel that is someone else played the exact thing he does, we would be complaining. 

I agree. Hate the noodling he does on this I love and Better. The original solos are so good! 

Coma. Hands down. Locomotive is not even close (even though it is good too).

I'd say the final album version ... but, man, it's missing bass. There is a rumbling bass to earlier versions that I just adore. And when you listen to the final studio recording, it's noticeably absent.

Wholeheartedly agree with this.

That's one of the many problems with CD; there's no consistent concept throughout, just a random jumble of ideas... 

As opposed to UYI?

Here you go!  Rio 2011 soundcheck it looks like

2011 could have been such an awsome continuation of the 2009/10 tour.

I would accept people not knowing CD stuff, as that is not really GNR. But a fan who doesn't know the songs of AFD, UYI 1 + 2? Get the fuck out of here.

But this is all relative, you could argue that people could be excused for not knowing anything beyond AFD since the band changed too much between that and the Illusions albums. 

And someone like me, who got into GNR in the 2000s and absolutely love CD and still listen to it pretty much every week, who go to concerts, hang out on the forums, own all the ablums, dvds and shit, do I not count as a fan because I don't know every song on UYI or Spagetti Incident by heart?

Yeah. And there's where we disagree. Some people use the term "fan" to lightlly.... kinda like calling all the people following you on Facebook "friends". Well, they are not. And it's not just a random 2 minute throw away forgettable song. It's a 7+ minute semi-epic in an already small back catalog of 3 albums.

A 7+ minute semi-epic that has been played 5 times the last 28 years. At least Dead Horse got a music video, but I'd say that is also quite obscure.

I personally think that GNR have enough back catalogue to fill out with “their” songs without filling in with covers... BHS witchita, seeker, slither (I’ll get some people disagreeing) but all those should be retired for the short term imo. I still have no issue with LALD or KOHD as those have been staples for 30 years. 

The seeker has been played for quite some time now, how long time left before that becomes a staple? 

I would love to ser it back in the set. However, I think people who belive Slash is the reason it is not played forget that Axl stopped playing it in 2012 and replaced it with catcher more or less. My guess is he kost interest in it, and has yet to rediscover it. 

The jellyfish during estranged were cool i think. Animations/backdrops can be really cool IF done right. There was a swedish band called Kent, who had amazing video backdrops (particullary during their 2016 farewell tour). 

I like the side screens for bandshots, but not the center screens like Metallica used during their latest tour. 

Silkworms and Oh My God double A-side. Then Atlas Shrugged.

rumors are: march, 20, 2020. 

An EP with Better, CD, Atlas, Quick Song or Hard School. 

 

Rerecord the whole damn thing on UYI production level.

UYI contains Great songs, but the production is dry. I would not want another record in that vein. Worst case scenario (which, unfortunately I find more likely since the Reunion) would be a brickwalled attemt at making AFD2. 

I'd favor something more like CD, which has amazing dynamic. Great production, even IF songs have been tinkered with to an absurd degree.

None of the principals in GNR is willing to confirm an imminent album release or even confirm concrete work on it happening, but the "manager" of GNR just guesses he announces a new GNR album to arrive within 6 months on some obscure board where no one knows for sure it is actually him?!? Yeah, right. And pigs can fly.

I read some where that nick cave announcd his upcoming album in a reply to a fans post on a message board. 

I don't think this is what is happening here, and in that scenario the fans knew it was really him, but there is at least one big act out there announcing things that way 👨‍🏫

Ask the Hip Hop fans what they are thinking about Hip Hop from 2007-2019. Except for Eminem, its a disaster. Good Rock and Hip Hop are dead.

I don't listen to much hip-hop at all, but I thought Watch the Throne from 2011 was really good. 

At the moment, and really in no particular order.

1. Estranged

2. Nightrain

3. Madagascar

4. Oh my God

5. Shackler's Revenge

Honourable mentions: Coma, Patience, It's so Easy, Rocket Queen, CD (Whole LP)

Good to se Madagaskar back where it belongs. I'm sure we will se more of the alt. songs as the tour progresses (maybe not all of them, but most).

Cool, thank you! 

To be honest, I am not that excited about Dead Horse, So Fine and Locomotive. But it is good to see so many CD songs still in the alternate section, and the fact that Hard School makes an apperance gives me hope for the future.

Not gonna lie, the song i've had on repeat the most lately is Eye on You. It's just so goddamn catchy. Axl should do a solo album of shit like this.

The chorus or whatever you wan't to call it is really good, I love it, and I hope we will get to hear a more finalized version of it someday.
