  1. So what? But he's boring as hell. I'll take Axl's imperfections over the Liam Gallaghers of the world any time.
  2. Then you're dumb. Look at his performance vs. say Liam Gallagher. Yeah. The voice might not be all there, but he is still entertaining to watch and still does 3 hour shows. Also he is not alone on the stage. He still has a band with 2 original members that put on a great performance. At least great enough for the masses. The whiney bitches, who want to nitpick everything and want him to sound like in '92, where he often sounded bad too, just in a different way, apparently are a minority.
  3. Well. YOU believe he was (more) happy to be there, than at other places. I guess at this point he's just happy to be anywhere. He also was happy and smiley and made full use of the stage (whenever they let him, lately they built fences in his way, so he couldn't use all the stage, but he proceeded to tear them down, so he can use all the stage, like in Rio) at other places. I know, because I've seen him all those years. The only difference here was that they haven't been added to boost ticket sales, since it already was sold out and that they were gonna be televised (though, Rio anyone?). So the crowd certainly did not invite them. It's just ridiculous to watch all the stuff you all interpret in whatever they are doing, just like the one claiming that Fortus hated to be there (oh, no. But it's Glastonbury, how could he be not happy to be there, since it's that special?), the predictions of what they were going to be doing, blowing everything out of proportion, when in reality they just played a regular gig in front of a crowd that wasn't nessesarily theirs (though at the end of the day, they even sang along to Slither). And really, why are you so hellbent to convince everyone that they think it is this special thing, playing at a wanker festival, with people buying tickets without even knowing who's playing and people upset that a proper rock band takes one of their precious headline slots. I remember that ridiculous outrage when Metallica were set to play. But then they gladly welcome all other kind of wank acts. But whatever, what is there to give up, just like you, I'm free to share my opinion. It's special in the sense that they weren't needed to boost sales, but were booked because organizers apparently wanted them there. But I'd say that's about it. Why don't you give it up?? Crying to bring back pyro. It's gone too far. There is nothing really added to the show, unless it is Rammstein. The way GNR has been using it, it's absolutely irrelevant whether it's there or not.
  4. Right. Because making the money of his life, not having to worry about a thing, basically being on paid vacation and playing to the biggest crowds in his life is hell. Geez. The things you interpret in whatever you see. Also they hold him hostage and he can't opt out any time that all becomes too hellish for him.
  5. Disagreeing and having a different opinion is "ranting"?? Got it. Don't hear no beaming though.
  6. But they didn't, which means, to them it's just a gig like anyone else, maybe a little special, because it's televised, but other than that they did what the always do. Not give a fuck and play their set.
  7. Why would I be pissed off to not be at a place where people buy tickets, regardless of who plays?? Also I just saw them last wednesday and will see them again in a week, seeing Alice Cooper in 3 hours and couldn't care less about not being there.
  8. Yeah. I can live with The seeker for that reason (unlike snooze fest Wichita lineman.... what is it about that fucking song that they are doing it since years now??). Also he does a good job on it.
  9. Yeah. And probably they all were the first to buy tickets when the reunion came around. And those are the people the band relies on to charge the prices they now charge.
  10. You put it out there, that maybe you go, if they were shorter. Don't backtrack now. And the people I speak to, who go to shows, love the long shows and usually always are a song missing. It's one credit to GNR that they don't half ass it and give you shows worth the money in length. They could charge the amount of money they do and play 90 mins. I'm always greatful they don't and cram as much songs into it as possible. Even though I might not enjoy every single one of them, others do. I did say, who cares what a reviewer thinks (apparently you think the same, as seen by your comment, so again, don't twist things around now). And again. Reviewers don't pay. Reviewers opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one. They don't matter more than the ones paying for shows. And the majority will be glad they get something for their money and more chances to hear their favourite songs. Otherwise they are free to leave. But really, the whole exchange is ridiculous. GNR plays long shows. So that's that. Deal with it. You or any reviewer is not going to change that.
  11. Wow. Not going to a show, because you get too much for your money. That's a certain kind of...
  12. Oh, well. Didn't you once say you don't even go to GNR shows anymore?? So, you don't pay. What you want, don't matter.
  13. They don't matter either. People who pay to see a show matter.
  14. Wasn't played. Thank heavens. Got that dreadful Street of dreams though.
  15. Because they clearly thought they would be playing the whole set. At the end there was motioning to hurry up and get to an end as there is a strict curfew. Very professional. Luckily they pushed it until 8 minutes past curfew. And 23 minutes longer than their scheduled time. Could have also done without the Slash solo and get another song instead
  16. Well, you can leave, go to the loo, get something to eat, take a nap and come back for Paradise, if that's what you need. Let us others enjoy getting a bang for the buck and as many songs as possible.
  17. Who cares what one reviewer thinks? Probably not even a fan. For me that show wasn't long enough and I'm a bit miffed that we were short changed due to a stupid curfew (where is the communication between artist and festival?) and they cut out the whole encore and went from Nightrain right into Paradise. Yet gave us the sleep inducing Lineman. The band clearly was into playing the full show and pushed it as far as possible, ending at 8 past 11.
  18. Yeah, definitely the most exciting one since the Brutal Planet/Dragontown tours. And I've seen him 40+ times since. Bought tickets for 3 US shows in September, based on how great the last tour was, now with this setlist I'm not so sure on whether that was a good decision. All the interesting songs are gone and we're mostly back to the staples. Well, at least he kept Bed of nails. That song kicks so much ass live.
  19. Yeah. Easily went from one of his best setlists to one of his most predictable and boring ones.
