Hmm, Axl was pretty active in the music scene in the early 80's and I believe his tattoo is a reference to Elvis.

Someone will be able to add more detail, that's just off the top of my head.

Jesus this is beautiful. Much superior to the Illusion version IMO.

The date on the disc is 29th September 2001. I wonder if they ever intended on releasing this to help raise money for the families that were effected due to 9/11.

HOB 2001 was a far better performance than Rock In Rio. And on top of it, it's the first GN'R show since 1993, not the second.

I do agree about the following year,  though. I've always been intrigued with these shows.

I was asking a guy on the Discord chat about those shows. He was at both and had been to 50+ Guns shows. He said neither were anything special and wouldn’t make his top 10. Shame as I was always intrigued by them as nothing has ever come out from those shows.

I tried scouting for those comments but I can’t find them. Beta will have her reasons for her actions. We won’t even know a fraction of it, but this woman was her former employer and she was obviously caught in the middle of a very turbulent breakup. One thing you can’t fault her on is her loyalty to Axl.

Hi guys, I know this is an old thread and nobody will care, but just for archival purposes, I was in front of the stage on the right side, near Slash's talkbox, around the 5th-8th row of people and want to explain the rant.

It was not a Rant. It was a "Stop" because people were getting VERY hurt in front and a bunch of "stereotypical metalheads" with greasy hair who have never had a shower in their life started getting aggressive. The audience was pushing.

I talked to Richard the next day and he acknowledged the wild audience, but said it was a high-energy show and definitely a great one. Talking to Richard made it so much better.

I truly, honestly, being in the middle of the worst part of the audience, let go and though that I was about to die there. Axl stopped the show and then threatened to stop it again and the audience chilled out a little bit, though I was pushed back to around the 15th row by force.

There were a few aggressive guys there and Axl must've noticed. The people in front were getting squished horribly.

 

I am thankful that Axl stopped the show. People were getting badly hurt. My chest hurt for a week because I was pushed and squeezed so hard by people trying to get closer to the stage.

I'd been waiting at the venue since 10 A.M. to get where I was.

What a show. I was to the left of melee with the two fellas ready for a scrap. I can second the "I'm going to die" claims with the force of the crowd. I managed to keep my spot though, I just dug the old elbow's into the sides of anyone trying to surge past. Great fucking show. I had a horrific experience travelling mind you, but the show made up for it.

Why the fuck am I just seeing this?

I’m dying here. Amazing job my man.

Naa, he'd be leaving himself short of breath for the first verse.

The thought of potential new material being a 2021 release is pretty painful. I hope they’re further on in regards to album than what we’re led to believe.

Just sounds like guide vocals. Very raspy guide vocals.

I like Scraped too.

Worst songs on CD are If The World and IRS. Not that they're bad songs, they just don't excite me like the rest of the album.

IRS?! I’d go as far as saying that’s some of the finest bit of chanting Axl has ever recorded. Love the riffs throughout too, one of my favourites on Chinese.

Is that a real pic

Yeah man

Keep in mind this is pre Rock in Rio. They would've added in the chorus and other bits after this. 

I love Axl's vocal delivery here. 

SCREAMING FUCKING BANSHEE YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE!

Love that Miami top!

its not Finck imo. Its Brian May playing like Slash in the first solo and playing as Brian May in the outro. Most probably May was thinking to himself: How would Slash play it?

its probably the only song where Axls clean voice is not annoying for the listener.

The solo is definitely all Brian. I assume the rest is Finck and Tobias.

Finck and Brian Harold May

Really? I dont think so, this is from the locker Cds so, 99-00

There is really sharp edits in parts of the song, and after the first verse when the guitar comes in, it seems as if it’s a different mix. At least to my ears.

I’ve not had time to listen to it with a proper  pair of headphones, but I reckon this is a mash of the Brian May version with the Bumble version (with his channel wiped out). Something definitely up somewhere.

I can’t get that intro out my head.

Had it blaring driving to work this morning.

That intro, along with the first verse, is as good as anything I’ve heard from Guns.

ATLAS FUCKING SHRUGGED MOTHER FUCKERS

How I will celebrate any official release:
