Regina and London definitely had more people that what's on Wikipedia.

Thanks Axl for the tweet, it was sweet!

I hope one day for us to meet.

And greet. On the street.

It would be discreet and would make my life complete.

Oh for the love of Pete!

Holy shit that place is packed! Is is sold out?

Final show of this leg right, I'm sad.

Hope they leave Canada with a bang

I know!! It felt so fast. Now we have that month break till the HUGE shows start. Like the 65K that bought tickets in Brazil in a matter of days.

Bumble said this will be a damn good show. Tokyo Pt 2?

In Taipei Axl said Michael gave him the Fedora. I think he was joking but who knows?

I was thinking the fedora was a tribute to John Dillinger, but you know I would wouldn't I.

It was a joke, after that he said Michael offered him a "good doctor".

Uncle Axl tells the best stories! Can we have him over more Daddy? Please!

How far pre tour are you referring? I believe it's years old.

Before 06' as in Pre-GnR tour.

I think it's actually from Bumble, it's from some interview from before this tour.

Bumble?! what the hell are you guys talking about? it's from Making Fuckin' Videos - Estranged as far as I'm concerned =/

Negative Ghostrider. I just watched that and don't recall him saying that.

I think it's actually from Bumble, it's from some interview from before this tour.

It's a fairly old quote, I think, so I'm not so sure about the time frame you gave.

I can't remember the exact time but it does feel pre tour. But I'm fairly positive it was Ron talking about a trip, or atleast something along those lines.

I think it's actually from Bumble, it's from some interview from before this tour.

Sound like an incredible time, man if I were in your shoes! So I guess the Slash shirt thing is put to bed.

well this is getting interesting but i cant believe there is anything that could cause axl to be upset after everything going so well on this tour so far....

Agreed. Everything has been going well for him.

He had great review from last night's show too.

Wonder what's happened.

Something must have gone wrong, it's not like him anymore to just show up late. Wonder if Baz's sound problems had anything to do with it.

I'm actually getting kinda nervous.

a few things:

there was more than 12000 fans

DJ started CD (dumbass reporter)

the show was 3 hours NOT 2.5 hours...started at 10:30 and ended 1:30

Not sure why you're jumping all over this reporter.

It was a positive review.

Regarding attendance, I believe he'd have the actual figures. I can't imagine a reviewer just making up a number.

Also, the show ended at 1:11am. If you check out our "Montreal Show" thread, where we were given play-by-play accounts of every song - the last encore ended at 1:11. So, I guess the reviewer could have said 2 hours and 41 minutes, but I'm guessing he just rounded it to 2.5 hours. Not a big deal.

People diss reporters when they give bad reviews and diss them when they give good reviews. I guess some people will never be happy.

ok i might have been harsh but i know the bell center very well and there was more than 12000 fans. No way 9000 fans would fit in the nose bleed seats left.

You've got a point, the show was sold out after all. I wouldnt be surprised if it were 15,000.

this thread is just stupid, nothing compares to the old gnr NOTHING, im glad to see axl finally happy and pleased dj ash is good but the rest dont hold a candle to the old gnr AND also they cant play estranged u dumbasses even slash found it difficult to play so the chances of these playing it well is remote at best, but its a big improvement on the 2001-2007 performances for sure

Do you seriously think that this current band, the most technically talented of all GnR history, cant play Estranged?! They can play something as difficult as Better or Shacklers Revenge, but not Estranged which for any guitar player is 50 notches down in terms of difficulty. Okay, Slash is not that good of a guitarist. A good guitar writer sure, but as pure skill Bumble and Bucket are ages ahead Slash.

Thats complete and utter bullshit for a start. The word "Technically" gets thrown about a lot but its just a term people who know fuck all about good guitar playing use when they want to sound clever.

I'm not too sure in what you want to say. Are you saying that all those 8 finger tap sweeps are something Slash can easliy do?

*Sigh* When did an 8 finger tap sweep ever make a song sound better. Wanking off the neck does not make you a better guitarist. When your in a band it doesnt matter how many 8 finger fret sweeps you make its about what your playing brings to the song as part of the band. Sometimes less is more my friend.

And yeah i'd say Slash could probably pull off the 8 finger death move if that was what he was interested in doing. But its plainly not.

+1

The greatest guitarists out there aren't figuring out ways to make guitar playing a technical feista, its more about playing somthing that is right for the song.

Case and point, first and second solo in better. First is an wankfest of guitar licks that don't go anywhere, while the second is simple but still gives me goosebumps.

See for me I actually prefer the first solo! It gives so much energy into the breakdown that I just want to jump around and go crazy when it does come. Not taking anything away from the Robin solo, that is very brilliant as well.

How exactly the onion and mashed potatoes thingie contradicts the message that started it all ?

Okay, Slash is not that good of a guitarist. A good guitar writer sure, but as pure skill Bumble and Bucket are ages ahead Slash.

It just says "I don't care about pure skill"...

Slash is the best sausage and mash (and onion gravy) recipe youve grown up with.

Bumble, while his new herbs and fancy gravy are delicious and some might say superior, they dont quite taste like the one you grew up enjoying. And whose to say that adding some herbs makes it a better sausage? I like my sausages just as they are.

I was just about to put a similar analogy.

Wow DJ is a member now, I doubt he will be popping in often though.

So if a basketball player can't make a dunk, he's still a good basketball player because he prefers to dance around the coart when he makes a shot? I never said I didn't like Slash's playing, on the contrary I prefer it . But he isn't a good guitarist, he doesn't have the skill. He plays his own thing, and that's cool, but I doubt he can play Eruption from Van Halen, something Bumble learned when he was 12.

thanks dude!!

Isn't this the first sold out show of the Canada leg?

Come on Axl get the good stuff out! Estranged, Breakdown, Civil War!

One can dream.

Fuck that!!! I want new songs!!

Sorry a possible staple?

Now we get to the REALLY good stuff!!

im guessing nothing really special will happen.

I would figure that from a Hitman fan. Vince screwed Bret in Montreal. How could you be positive.

?

Head over here to read wiki Montreal Screwjob

Ohh! I thought you meant Vince Neil screwing Bret Michaels, not too far off the imagination.
