Absolutely phenomenal show. First Guns show I've seen since 2010 and the first time in my life I've seen Axl, Slash and Duff all together obviously with my first show being in 2001.
Scored floor seats at the 50 yard line dead center for $40 a pop which was insane, I honestly thought we got ripped off with how cheap the guy was letting em go.
Ive been on this forum for probably 10 years or so now and purposely haven't followed anything since last summer, I figured it would be 3/4 of the usual setlist and was right with that but MAN Double Talkin Jive, Yesterday's, Memory/Attitude, Used To Love Her and Coma really caught me off guard, I knew they were sort of in the rotation but wasn't expecting all of that! Black Hole Sun cover was totally unexpected and fucking awesome.
Axl sounded really strong which I was skeptical about heading into the show due to the altitude. Tons of smiles and was more engaging than I expected also.
Ive seen Slash with VR/solo a ton but holy fuck was it mind blowing to just watch him take his original GnR licks to the next level, the extended intro on DTJ was sweet and he even threw a little Slayer tease into part of the Godfather solo which I'm assuming was because they were also playing about 20 minutes down the road last night.
All in all an unbelievable show and a night I'll definitely never forget, only complaint would be the amount of casuals who barely reacted at all/sat down unless one of the "hits" was being played.. Ran past security to the front of the seats behind the pit dead center for the 5 song encore, the crowd was way better down there obviously and I tried to line myself up for the mic toss and thought I was in a good spot but Axl just gave it a small underhand toss a couple feet into the pit.
Guns N Fucking Roses though, wow.

Holy shit Axl sounds so tight on Out Ta Get Me.. you can tell he's just getting stronger as tour went on

First time Sorry was played on tour? Or have I been slacking? Need a video of that for sure
*edit* Just read the WAAF article saying it was the 3rd time..hell ya, bet its heavy with Slash on it -
They added a second show in MA? Well word, that means I'll be able to fly back from CO and get to it hopefully.

yeah, those videos appeared on different promo dvd's from Geffen for UYI. places like Tower Records and Wherehouse Music had all kinds of rare promo stuff.
Brownstone and Michelle were filmed at the Pantages show on May 11, 1991. not sure where the stage performance of YCBM was filmed, but it wasn't at the Pantages.
there were 3 'secret' warm-up theatre shows in early May 1991 before the UYI tour officially kicked off - S.F. (Warfield), L.A. (Pantages), and NYC (Ritz).. each are about 2,000 capacity venues, though the Ritz has been closed for years now.
The Ritz is still open..just called Webster Hall now, it's one of the most ridiculous places I have ever been..

Any other AUD recordings out there? Lot of audience talking/singing on the copy I have...I fully appreciate it and it's listenable..and I have laughed every time I hear the dude go "PINK FLOYD IS HERE?!?! DUDE PINK FLOYD IS HERE!" at the beginning of Wish You Were Here hahah, but are there any other copies out there?

I'd love to hear em do Set Me Free or Slither, think it would be quite killer. Diversify the setlist any way possible.
-
Feel free to move/delete if necessary, I've been around this forum for a while so I'm sorry for just throwing this post out there.
Am I the only one who is wondering why the hell Colorado is getting no love on this tour? They are seemingly hitting every pit of the country yet absolutely nothing out here...I'm pretty bummed.
Anyone heard anything about a potential show at Mile High? -
-
Have spent the last hour watching all of the videos I can find from last night and hot damn do they sound fucking killer! Coma was sick. I can't believe how good Axl sounds..trying to decide if it;s because he wasnt moving like that Dublin show where he was pissed..or because he's really just nailing it right now. Hell ya!

it would be interesting if we could get a demographic survey (w/ charts) of the GNR fans here even if it was from this online forum. Surprisingly I've been in contact w/ YOUNG guns...like Uni/highschool kids who are re-discovering GNR. I agree, I too am making the assumption that most fans are blue collar in thier early 40s...but then again all the friends of mine who are going to thier show w/ me are Univeristy grads in thier 30s...so I guess you never can tell...
Im a 23 year old fan who has been on this forum for years and following Guns pretty avidly since 06, obviously im fucking stoked as hell to see the boys back together sans Izzy and Popcorn,but its still something I never imagined I'd get to see..and here I am trying to figure out how im going to fly out of Denver to Phoenix for the AZ gig, get a room, and a ticket.... Don't know how, but luckily I have a full time job and will hopefully be there in a few months. The prices are definitely exponentially higher than the tickets I buy to see music around CO all year long..im at Red Rocks 3 weekends out of the month all summer long and one ticket to this tour is worth about 4 red rocks shows.
Wishing I didnt bank on them announcing a CO show though, should have scooped tix for Vegas months ago and just done the damn thing.

So, am I the only one in Colorado wondering what the fuck gives? Why don't we have a date at Mile High. Gonna have to road trip it Phoenix it looks like..

Coming from a well versed member of the electronic scene ...this is fucking terrible.

AFD: Rocket Queen
"No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain. I'd hate to see you walking out there in the rain. So don't chastise me or think I mean you harm. Of those that take you, leave you strung out much too long"
Just a very real line. Obviously one of the best parts of appetite, so real.
Lies: One In A Million
"It's been such a long time since I knew right from wrong. It's all the means to an end I'm, I keep it moving along"
Great song, wish Axl could pull OIM out live
UYI1: Coma
"And it's so easy to be social, it's so easy to be cool. Yeah, it's easy to get hungry, when you ain't got shit to lose"
Coma fucking rules.
UYI2: Locomotive
"When you won't take the love I have to give
I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet
As what you'd believe it is
Well I guess it never is"
Probably my favorite Axl lyric, and one of my overall favorites of all time
CD: There Was A Time
"Yeah, there was a time. Didn't wanna know it all. Didn't wanna know it all and, I don't wanna know it now"
CD's best song, love it

That Philadelphia show was legendary, Axl sounds HUNGRY on Nightrain
-
I love New GnR, love em..but you watch that HOF video of Paradise and tell me you wouldnt rather see Slash lay down the guitar every night with Axl over anyone else..Slash fucking ripped it up in that video, brought the fire BIG TIME
-
Holy shit that Jungle was good, 3:50-the end got me hard as a rock..go Japan, go Axl.
-
All I'm saying is those guys are always pathetic just in the way they try to chat celebs up, I mean, I guess its with good intentions but just like "oh are you guys touring?" and other fake small talk all the time from those people would just bug the hell out of me hahah, maybe just my personality.
Whatever.
I can agree that Axl definitely handled it well, given his history
-
Can we all agree that the paparazzi might be just be the grimiest scummiest low lifes out there? "Oh sorry for filming you Axl I just need to make my money" ..dude, your job is to film another human going about the most TRIVIAL of tasks for no reason what so ever, you chose that job. You chose it.
Only when they push & shove & annoy the people going about their day. He didn't say he needed to make money at all if thats what you're implying. He said thanks & he would leave him alone now.
Axl & Beta were more than happy to be filmed as long as they weren't interfered with - good manners will get you everywhere.
I thought I heard him say right after his apology that he "just has to make his money" or something, maybe I simply misheard him was all

My first GnR show. Was only 9. Loved at as any kid would but didnt appreciate it for what it was. '06 in Worcester was unreal, but '11 in Worcester in the front row was a night I won't forget
only 9? nice.
Did your parents take you to the show?
Yup, the old man took me to the show

It may have been in another solo then, it definitely happened. Being a guitar player and huge jam band head I feel as though I'm quite good at picking out teases like that. Very confident it happened at some point
