138 posts since 2006. Do we all smell or something?  

Hell no! Well, at least not as much as I was smelling last night after Motley Crue's show. You guys rock, keep holding the torch around here 😉

Putting Chinese Democracy as the favourite GN'R album is the modern equivalent to glueing hands to roads to make a statement. 

To answer the question, it really depends on the mood but generally it's UYI II.

I got a shirt in Lisbon (the classic bullet logo with tour dates in the back) and the quality is absolute shit. 

As a term of comparison, I have around five shirts from 17/18 Europe Tours and the difference is night and day. Those shirts feel like Fruit of the Loom/Guildan heavy cotton and the print is solid. 

Now, asking 45€ for this is outrageous. I've seen bootleg shirts with far superior quality for way lesser price.

Then again, bought it just for collection sake but I'd say to not expect high quality merch this time around.

YCBM sounds awfully weak. Axl's thin vocals do nothing for the song. Used to be a showcase now it's just a lost case.

On the other hand, TWAT takes the spot as the best example of how this band could sound like.

Rest is cruise speed. Slash does shine here and there.

I have tickets for the postponed gig in Lisbon this year as it would be the first time my gf would see them live.

Thank goodness she hasn't seen any of these Selects or else I would end up going alone.

"ADD BAND MEMBERS TO START MULTIBALL READY"?

Are you guys really sure it was Slash behind the making of the first pinball machine? 😄

Lisbon 2006, 2010, 2017

Prague 2017

Paris 2017

Berlin 2018

Madrid 2018

Many great intros were already referenced but I would like to add Reading 2010. Certainly one for the ages!

Fairly noticeable how his whole body shakes from the ferocity in that scream.

I keep wanting to get that Teskey Brothers album. One of the co hosts on my podcast was praising it recently, so I need to order it. 

It's really refreshing knowing there are new bands out there still capable of embodying that old blues sentiment and somehow mix it with modern day elements and production, resulting in one badass combination. Do get it when you can 

Sweet! Only now did I find out about this thread. So, here are my latest additions:

Plus, I finally pulled the trigger on AFD Super Deluxe and got it in the mail today.

I'm also waiting for John Denver - Poems, Prayers & Promises.

"Been through too much?"

Man, that Coursera - 'Learn how to edit videos in 3 simple steps' must have been tough.

That's just...lame. I mean, the guy could literally release Civil War from any given show and arguably no other song in the world would do a better job right now.

I believe this would cover many bases.

It would be funny if Axl updated his tattoo as well.

It's interesting to notice how almost every official video's thumbnail is all about Axl but reality says otherwise 

Overall it was solid, song choices were pretty obvious. If they're going for the hits they better dig that 2016 footage.

The show at the Pantages Theatre - May 11th 1991, was filmed professionally by Mark Racco (same guy who directed YCBM music video).

There used to be full clips of My Michelle and Brownstone on Youtube but don't bother trying to find them there.

Here's a small reference on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7107186/

Those prices are insane!

You could literally take a round trip from say New York to Lisbon, Portugal, cross the entire Atlantic Ocean, watch the show and go home, for less than 700$. GA in Lisbon is 75$ at current exchange.

I want new music as much as the next guy but to believe that Guns need an album or a couple new songs in their setlist to keep touring at the highest level (stadiums/large fields) is just delusional, in my opinion.

There will be a day when they can't fill more than 10.000/15.000 seats and that's only because their target has already had enough of the guys. If the majority of people at their shows barely knows the lyrics besides SCOM/WTTJ/DC/NR/Patience/PC's chorus, how can you expect them to think of a new Guns album as the second coming of Jesus?

They're a legacy act, way past their prime but somehow due to their behaviour and mistery surrounding every move (or lack of), were able to keep a certain appeal, much more since Slash returned.

What we have now is a GREAT live band, capable of putting together a solid show, enough for you to go home, thinking how great of an evening that was. 

Duff has a side project, so does Slash. GNR is like a daytime job that funds their personal projects/dreams/ambitions. I'm sure they all get a kick when they got 60k people screaming to the opening chords of Jungle but that's it - instant reward with little to zero hassle.

Why change the formula?

1. Don't damn me

2. Nightrain

3. Rocket Queen

4. You could be mine

5. Patience

6. Welcome to the jungle

7. Civil War

8. November Rain

9. Sweet child o'mine

10. 14 Years

11. Paradise City

12. Don't Cry 

13. Locomotive

14. Pretty tied up

15. Estranged

Going to this one. How awesome would it be to witness the "New chapter" (I'm going to regret having said this) live for the first time!

Here's a peek of the venue:

Photos from the past tour have also been removed although the dates are still there.

I also went to the Prague show in 2017. Can't say I had issues with transportation from the house we we're staying at to Letnany airport, everything was smooth really. You have a subway just outside the venue that will take you to pretty much everywhere in Prague. Sure you'll face some queues but nothing scandalous. Must have took us around 45  minutes to get home and we we're staying right beside Charles bridge.
