    YCBM had some rasp at the end of the bridge. KOHD had some serious rasp at parts. Coma had a pretty strong finish.

    I disagree about Better; he was all chest voice for the first chorus, and he managed to hit the notes in the bridge, so i'm happy.

    fantastic show, i'm ecstatic about that. Axl seemed very happy on stage, much more so than 2017.

    Axl seemed really happy. Gave it his all. His voice was fantastic on many songs. A couple of songs he just can't do anymore. The first seven songs he came out all guns blazing, just put in maximum effort and power. Really impressed. Then a few songs like LALD he struggled a bit, although his three screams during that song were phenomenal. Absurd was actually really strong and suits his current vocal style. 

    Wichita can go though, I'd rather the Seeker if they have to do another bloody cover. At least the Seeker was fun and had a groove to it. 

    Don't cry he was amazing on. Obviously a slower song but still, he sounds brilliant doing some of those songs that don't require too many high notes. 

    Overall a fantastic show and people were impressed.

    No, I haven’t because their Australian tour has been delayed for 2 years. I’m waiting for my turn in Sydney this weekend.

    And I’m sure the experience will be great, but I’ve seen them in Vegas 2016, and Australia in 2017, and I’m not kidding myself that Axl’s vocals will be as good as they were 5-6 years ago. 

    His vocals in the most part have been great. Better was a let down though.

    I ain't following them around and spying.  I'm watching my favorite band of over 30 years fly around our country on a website.  Last time they were here I watched the time that the plane left Tullamarine Airport and saw the plane fly over my house.  It was just realy cool to see and was amazing to think that my heroes are up there at that moment in our country.  Nothing more.  Huge fans meet their idols at the airport and leaving hotel rooms all the time.  Then there's met and greets etc.  Since GN'R don't do that, how cool would it be to run into them off stage and get a quick photo and say hi?

    Makes perfect sense to me. And if the band want to take my $1000+  for two tickets to tonight's show,  and even more for the Gold Coast and Adelaide shows, then surely a photo if the opportunity arises isn't that much to ask for? 

    As long as you are respectful, polite and respect boundaries even if they refuse, then I think it is okay.

    I was looking from the links on the GNR site, many of then have the maps that show, while a few don't. A few are selling very well (as expected in larger markets). For you, since you're already going to 2, I'd wait for last minute - it gets tricky if youre planning a trip. It's always a gamble though... have a blast and I hope you get that "all new show" or at least a few surprises along the way!

    Thanks mate. Yeah it is a gamble waiting until the last minute to see if they are desperate to sell off tickets for much cheaper price. I've been burnt so many times seeing smaller shows, like when I went to see Ace Frehley and Gene Simmons play here in Brisbane at the Tivoli where I get in early and pay full price, then friends buy the same ticket with last minute specials and literally get the ticket for less than half what I paid. Thats annoying :wacko:

    Anyway, like you said I'm already going to two shows so I think I'll wait and hang out for last minute tickets to Adelaide. 

    I doubt we will get anything new. They will probably think rolling out Angus Young on stage again for a quick AC/DC cover will excite us again, when all we really want is a new song or two. As we know Guns N' Roses live in an alternate universe where they give their fans what they don't want.

    No, no I can't. But feel free to look up the ticket sites for yourself if you are interested.

    Can you actually tell though from looking at the ticket sites? I'm not sure you can. I mean you can get on the site, see what sections say 'allocation exhausted', but that is about it I think. I've got tickets to Brisbane and the Gold Coast shows, and I am thinking about going to Adelaide too, but I'm hoping to hang out until last minute to see if they discount the tickets further.

    I am not a hopeful person normally, but a small part of me is hoping the cds will have hidden tracks.  Guess we will see.  I wouldn't hold your breath.  I was told that regarding the AFD box back then, still waiting on those releases.  I hope I helped in some small way, hard to know.

    Oh I see.  Yes, I hope to have a list out "soon". 

    That shirt is one of the things I suggested.  I said maybe include some kind of voucher and people can send away for whatever size it is they need.

    Same as the last one, just sent all of my memorabilia to them.  I am sure that will all be in the book.  Other than that the only thing I did was compile all of your suggestions from way back when and sent it to them in an email.  Not sure if it had any effect or not.

    So do you get all of your memorabilia back?

    Playing in Rio, and specially at this festival, is something really important to him. I'm not saying this because I'm from Rio (I fucking HATE this damn city) but I've watched Axl perform in 7 different states in Brazil and none of them holds a candle compared to how Axl goes on the stage when performing in Rio. It's just different, hard to explain, you have to experience it here to compare to other places. 

     When he walked on stage tonight I felt it in his eyes he was like "I can't fuck this shit up, must give my 110%". He was on game face mode for almost the whole show. At the end of paradise city he had a smirk on his face as if he was thinking "yeah, I still got it". I was there front row at rock in Rio '11 and '17. I could tell Axl wasn't happy with what he was giving. Tonight it felt different - even though I was at home this time.

    A guns n roses show in Rio is just different. Even for Axl. And getting a tweet such as that from him like an hour after the gig's done just confirms this for me.

    Call me a hopeless romantic, I don't care.  😂

    Nice one mate! And thank you for sharing your experiences...

    I'm sure these artists have their favourite places to play around the world, they are only human after all. It would be awesome to see them play there. 

    Your'e very lucky.
