PTZ

Slash is on in 10 minutes to anyone interested.

No, not really.

The Grammys are so predictable. I haven't been watching, but I'm sure Taylor Swift will win.

The only thing that remotely interests me tonight is the Michael Jackson tribute with his kids.

But I'll watch it on youtube later.

Baz in on right now according to someone on Facebook. Where is MicEffect to give up updates tonight?

We've got an offical thread now Jackie.

Yay! I was hoping you'd start one soon.

Where is Blaine tonight? We need someone to start up the offical thread?

Hell no. I can't keep up with that and I usually go to bed early.

Ok I'm in my seat in Ottawa and I personally watched a guy walk in with complete slash costume and nobody said anythig other than a few snickers so can we please stfu.

I feel this is officially dead in the water. This comes from Jackie moon personally, the highest authority.

Get a picture of this please.

Who's doing the offical thread tonight?

Great story. What did his dressing room look like?

Nice to finally hear his side of the story on the slash shirt incident. He should have came out and said all this publicly.

Guns N' Roses Prove Sometimes You Can't Go Back Home Again

Guns N' Roses circa 2010 can definitely cut it in technical proficiency — all are talented musicians. They're not exactly left in the background while Rose takes the spotlight (all three guitarists got their own instrumental solos). But the sense of menace and seething anger is missing from the current incarnation. It's what drew me to them as an impressionable 12-year-old.

While Rose still carries these qualities with him everywhere he goes, the rest of the band seem subservient to his whims. It's not that the original line-up didn't have to deal with his antics; they put up with quite a lot, in fact. But the group always felt like a unit who had lived the nihilistic lyrics of their songs and had come together to take on the world. It's a quality that you can't replicate and no matter how good this band gets, Guns N' Roses will never have that again.

This guy put into words what I could "feel" after seeing the show, but somehow couldn't explain. The new band is great, the show was great, but this:"But the group always felt like a unit who had lived the nihilistic lyrics of their songs and had come together to take on the world. It's a quality that you can't replicate and no matter how good this band gets, Guns N' Roses will never have that again", is absolutely spot on. That being said, even if the "original" afd lineup was still together, it would likely be the same ie that "spark" would no longer be there imo. They're all older now, have lots of money, have passed all the original angst that drove them, etc. I love chi dem, so I do not agree with the part where the reviewer says the tunes were "snoozers" or whatever, but I do agree with the part about the band kinda just "whisking" through the afd tunes kinda like "hafta play em" sort of deal. If, for example, this new lineup, writes/records/tours a new album, that "they" created, the feeling might be different imo. And totally agree with YCBM kicking major ass (november rain also, even though Im not a big fan of it other than the solos).

I'm gonna be nice. Ya sound naive. It really sucks that you know the vibe haschanged but still buy a ticket. Axl thanks you...

Why the bashing? I think the new band is great, show was great, etc. and I don't want a reunion. Didn't bash Axl either, he was fantastic.....Maybe because my username is "Slashz28" you sort of misread what I meant. I went in with the mindset that it would be a great show (which it was imo, Baz included, cause I went just as much to see Baz as I went to see gnr), and came away feeling it was a great show. Probably just not explaining it right. Anyway, I do take offense to being called "naive", I mean wtf? I won't retort to name calling on here cause it 's just childish for no good reason.

Anyway,

Cheers

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure the original band couldn't get back what they had together that made them great.

The main problem with restoring the chemestry between Axl and Slash is that they don't like each other. That would be apparent in any performance and would need to be worked out long before.

Axl came out on a wheelchair? I need to see pictures/footage of this!

Oh and I hope their delay doesn't become a habbit.

I'm thinking it was a mistake to book two big shows like this back to back, plus some type of appearance at a club.

so the club musique musique rumour is true?

I don't know. I can't figure it out from what's been posted here.

The Club Muzique was official. Here's the ad... We told you before it was official in the other thread. Remember I said "admit gave me permission to mention it..."

Here ya go... http://www.montrealguestlist.com/images/news/2010-01-23/muziquegunsroses.jpg

No, I think he's talking about something that happened after the show.

Revolver is doing fine.

I met the guy and spend some time with him, he's a real great kid!!!

He's on his way back home and he's planning to tell his story ASAP when he's back!

Don't worry, we all took care of him

Did something bad happen to him at the show?

Revolver, I hope everything is ok wih you.

Any comments from people on Twitter who saw the show? I looked for early reviews, but found none.

Is the show over? I gotta go to bed.

I just wanted to know what people there thought?

Oh I haven't been keeping track. I won't correct you.

Down to 24 songs now...

Glad I got them early...

It depends if you count the solos as songs.

True, but regardless, the shows are getting shorter...

Not complaining. Just noticing...

They are? I hadn't noticed. I mean obviously they are shorter than the Asian ones with no curfew. But the shows in Canada have gotten shorter?

So they have management now? I assume they're still with Irv.

So is there really a curfew at 1:30 or not? Do we know?

I'd imagine they'd just keep going though, as they have done that in the past.

Axl came out on a wheelchair? I need to see pictures/footage of this!

At least the crowd looks happy now.

Eh, just got to accept that sometimes the crowd isn't as wild as you'd hope. I never let it get me down, and I've been in some fucking lame crowds. It doesn't stop me from having a good time. Except that one time I got booted from Alice Cooper because people around me were complaining I was standing...

I almost got booted from a WWE show for that.
