It says 3 days and 8 hours on the countdown for me. Could be that Kiwis and Aussies get it first again!

Sounds good to me

Yeah, there's an audio recording from an afterparty of GnR's 2010 Vienna show (thanks @Mindray11 ). It's barely hearable, but well enough for @evader that made his own interpretation of the song using the Chinese Democracy RockBand stems (and other stuff).

I'll DM you both things

Oh DM me too please

Most people watch the videos in portrait mode though. You don't hold your phone lying down. Does tictoc, instagram even work in landscape moded? Youtube shorts are formatted for portrait. So, why would they film in landscape? They are not filming for your LG OLED or even youtube. Boomer.

I filmed 12-15 seconds of No Leaf Clover this Sunday for Insta Stories. Landscape would be pointless for that.


And, 

I hate to see a sea of iphones at every show. But at the same time I know many moments that have been saved to be seen by fans and saved for history because of people filming. So for me, it's a double edged sword. The best would be if everyone got together and dedicated one person to film, so moments like this would not be lost to time:
 

 

Holy crap, that was worse than GnR's bloated drawn out KOHD !  

I loved VR. I always thought they were sometimes heavier than guns in terms of their sound, and the riffs. 
It felt to me that it was Slash exploring his slightly metal roots. He even jammed with Mustaine in his early days and I reckon he would have been a great metal rhythm guitarist.

That's probably one of the best vocal performances I've seen from him. I've always stood by the idea that 2010 really changed his voice for good, of course there were great shows after, acdc tour, but it was never 2010 level rasp. 

That was a phenomenal vocal performance, and everything that I love about that man’s voice. Truly beautiful

That's subjective. If you don't like it, don't attend. If many people agree with you, it will die out naturally. Based on reviews from the Australian leg last year, the shows are still great. We will see what happens. 

Yup, I went to three of the Australian shows last year, and they were all awesome. Doesn't mean I'm not desperately sad that my favourite band of all time won't release new music or change the setlist up much, but still a brilliant show to go and see even in their late 50's/60's. 

See them before they're all dead.

So far, all I own is GNR Lies. As a kid, back in their heyday, I owned the tape. Then when I got into my teens, I got the CD. Like most heterosexual boys, I would gaze at that model inside and think, man... if only that black bar wasn't there. Then, flash forward to about a year ago, I find out that in Europe, the original uncensored version came out on LP along with allusions to wife-beating on the front via the fake headlines and suddenly, I knew I had to own it. I hopped on Ebay, found a copy of the first EU pressing and ordered it. When it arrived, I checked out the cool original headlines, then slid the sleeve out and there she was, exactly as Axl and the boys had always wanted me to see her: completely uncensored and in all her glory.

Another life goal completed.

I used to beat off over her so much when I was younger …
 

anyway, that was last week. This week I’m much more busy with work.

There have been countless occasions where "insiders" have posted unreleased song titles on here only for them to be fake.

We should have a list of insiders who have posted lists…

I got an alert  on my phone that there is going to be a GNR Live from London 1991 CD coming out soon. 🤘

Oh Jesus, who gives a fuck at this stage. Maybe you and three other people? This entity that used to be a band are now just another Kiss money making machine.

The hologram tour

Definitely no mic toss at the end of that show! 

Happiest of birthdays to the best frontman of all time! 

The fact he performed the way he did at the three shows I was lucky to catch here in Australia a few months ago, close to 61 yrs of age, is true testament to the amazing professional entertainer that he is. 

Truly a rock God, and up there with the very few best that have walked this Earth, respect dude.

Oh and I didn't really ever rank them or anything like that but Axl and Slash had to be right up front.. Loved and knew all the other guys too though. Duff never stood out as being more important than Izzy or Steven to me. 

Same opinion , been there since the late 80’s. Now it’s Axl, Beta, Fernando, than daylight. Then Slash. Then daylight. Then Duff.

Fucks sake the bands turning into Kiss 

At least I can look forward to my GnR coffin to see out this world 🤣

That’s the same coffin that they buried Axl’s artistic creativity in many years ago. Although the one you will be able to buy off their website in the future will have an extra nail in it, so it will be lit’ and fresh and punk af…

I like how the Seeker is included above, I think it is a great song and Axl does a fantastic job on it. Suits his vocal perfectly.

I would love for that to return to the live set list, even though it’s a cover.

Tommy said Axl recorded vocals every year he was in the band, and that was a very long time. (Late '90s to 2014 or whatever)

Most of the Village leaks came from 2000, and there were some songs in that batch that were not on CD that had completed vocals, and others with incomplete vocals. I highly doubt that Axl didn't record additional vocal tracks from that time to 2014. We know since those Village leaks, he recorded vocals for Better and Sorry. I'm certain there are many others. Members here heard new songs playing during the 2010 Vienna afterparty, and not just Silkworms and The General. I have no doubt Axl had enough material recorded for a two disc 2008 release.

Members here? Like who? That’s just all rumours and story telling.

“Last night, we played a setlist, like, it was all over the place,” McKagan tells me. “‘I don't know, let's throw in this now!’ We're not playing the same thing, you know.” Alongside songs from all eras of the band, one of the treats for Gold Coast was a cover of AC/DC’s Whole Lotta Rosie, played for the first time on this tour.

“Sometimes we have to play the same set five nights in a row, but it's fine, you know, because it's a new crowd. But last night we played this wacky, killer set, songs were all over the place. And it was fun.”

 

They played Better and Reckless Life earlier in the set than usual, and added Whole Lotta Rosie... so wacky and all over the place!

So Punk AF this band. Crazy unpredictable bastards that they are...

Thanks well there is 3 of us but I do 90% of it. Yeah i think they will be happy to leave and I don't think Adelaide will see them again

Doing a great job mate!

I haven’t seen any estimates of the crowd attendance numbers - have you?

I went to Brisbane, Gold Coast and Adelaide. I would roughly guess at least 30,000 at each and maybe more than that. Hard to tell. I mean at Adelaide it looked pretty sad just before the band came on but there were still heaps of people coming in, so after they were a few songs in it was way more. I guess when you start at 7pm there are a lot of local people still coming from home after a days work. All in all I reckon the crowd numbers were good, considering the amount of artists touring these days and the cost of tickets in a world of highest costs of living.

I guess she is referring to the movie Chopper, with Eric Bana in it. Its about an Australian street criminal.

I think Axl is referring to the mic toss.

"Hey, if security caught that, toss it into the crowd."

Yup, this. Both this show and the Brisbane show I was so close to grabbing the mic.  At Brisbane on Tuesday night I wanted to get it and give it to a woman I met in a wheelchair. Almost had it but then a security guard grabbed it off the floor and kept it. Same thing happened tonight with a security guard getting it, so Axl looked out and said if a security guard has it can they please toss it to the crowd. This time the security guard was nice and handed it to a fan. Axl must have heard about what happened Tuesday night.
