    CD is an awful album. The solo on Shacklers is a pathetic attempt at sounding wild and different. It's basically not music. I love experimental music and I know when someone does it because it's their forte and when some do it to try to be something they're not. That's CD - Axl trying to be someone he's not. Ron BF Thal made the record even worse. Buckethead is far superior both in the melodic and experimental parts.

    Axl trying to be Trent Reznor...  :rofl-lol::rofl-lol:

    From what you're saying, though, even if Axl would only occasionaly fart to the mike, we should be nothing but screams of joy, gratitutde and appreciation because the whole experience of going there is so incredible. I mean I don't criticize Axl's voice, it is what it is and I find it quite OK recently but there are some things that I or some other posters think could be better and for fuck's sake we have a right to think so and to talk about it, we're not obliged to just worship them whatever happens cause they've reunited. I mean that's great, no doubt but that doesn't mean we have to love everything they do.  Really allow people to have their opinions. If every negative comment wouldn't be immediately attacked by groups of "you little whiny bitch: always think positive, always be happy and extatic no matter what" posters, these negative comments wouldn't turn into 60 pages long discussions of complaining about compaining.

    No doubt this is a great thing they're together and I am sure for those who go it's a great experience. But let's be honest. If only Axl was willing to move his ass off that fucking million dollar leather couch with golden legs that he's probably sitting on with his nanny and her kins most of the time and go to the rehearsals, he could first work a little more on his voice and how to sing certain songs, second they could work more on the setlist changes or rotations,  they could rehearse and add the UYI deep cuts to the set (I don't think they can actually add Breakdown that Axl sang last 25 years ago without trying it out with him first), not to mention he could work on some of Slash's solo stuff to enrich the setlist, not to mention rehearsing is a great occasion to come up with a new song.

    Appetite is a great record, no doubt, but it's 30 years old and Axl singing Jungle while kilograms of gold are dripping down his chubby figure dressed in 8000 dollar worth jeans is just as convincing as politicians claimig they understand the poor and will make their lives better if only they win the elections. I know Jungle probably needs to be there no matter what becasue it is such a hit but still they could make these shows much less nostalgic and much more relevant and convincing if only they put some more work into it, even without releasing the new album right now. And yes, I would like to see this. What's wrong with that? Why am I not allowed to say it? I'd love to see a setlist that has Breakdown, Locomotive, Dead Horse, Bad Apples, Slither, By the Sword, Oh My God, even Madagscar and Street of Dreams, The Garden, Yesterdays, You're crazy instead of songs that have been played to death in the last 30 years. Instead of the covers played a million times now they could work out something new, if they like to play covers. Why the fuck not? Why are we not allowed to expect more work from people who take a million dollars for one 2 and a half hours show?

    It's obvious everybody is happy the reunion happened and enjoying it but that doesn't mean noone is allowed to ask for more when for the first time in decades there is unlimited possibilities.

    Perfectly said.

    It's just dumb to complain about other people's complaints.  Some posters here want to act like forum police, when we have mods and admins.

    Seriously, these people should get a grip, shut the the fuck up and let others say whatever they want.  The "why u complain, enjoy what u have" type of posts only derail threads.

    My god! People are not complaining about some silly things. I think I've read every single page of this thread and don't recall people complaining about the setlist (not even about The Seeker) or even about Axl's voice like in the previous show.

    There was basically one complaint and it's totally fine if you have a different opinion but you have to be a complete fucking idiot to not understand how some (many) people feel about it. If the band didn't bring Steven, then fine, it was gonna be another show without him, too bad but let's focus on what we have. But they did bring him, the crowd was over the motherfucking moon because he was here (there was even a Steven chant way before he came out, people were really excited about his presence) and then they didn't let him play at least a second song, a song that WE ALL KNEW THEY HAD FN' SOUNDCHECKED! Is it that hard to understand people being upset? Seriously?

    This post is not against the band at all, but some posters. These threads get long and tiring because you fail to respect other people's feelings and opinions every single time. I understand there's only so many times people can say "oh no, The Seeker again" but this was different.

    Personally, I posted in my "review" that I was disappointed at what they did to Steven and at the same time said it was the best show of my life and that I couldn't be happier. On the same line, people who are watching the shows on periscope obviously love the band and are really happy to see 3 of the guys together, they wouldn't be wasting their time every few days (and some not sleeping or going to bed extremely late) otherwise, so we don't need to be reminded all the time that we should be happy that Slash and Axl are back together, because WE OBVIOUSLY ARE!!

    There are always gonna be some complaints because nothing is perfect. GNR ain't perfect, neither are their actions or performances. So, as this is a forum, people will continue to mention what are the things they don't like or they disagree with. Now everytime you feel entitled to criticize other people because they have an opinion you don't like or because they just don't find everything to be perfect, that's when the threads are gonna get really long and hardly bearable.

    LIVE AND LET DIE

    What is your favorite rendition of this i love. I personally fuckin love this one. The sustained note in the beginning of the solo gives me the feels and seeing axl's reaction the the perfect notes slash is hitting is amazing to watch. I'd kill to know what axl was thinking in that moment. Whats your favorite slash solo from this i love or hell...any solo of this i love

     

     

    I agree wholeheartedly.

    It is the best version.  Axl's face expression says it all.

    In his defense, reading that, I do not think he was having a particular pop at Adler, as he says himself ''I didn’t win, I took third place'', and that Adler '' three years later'' was ''in the biggest band in the world''.  It is merely an interesting anecdote of which he provided for general interest on life's erratic peculiarities.

    Do not get your knickers in a twist Guns N' Roses fans haha

    This.

    It's unfortunate that Gn'R have dumb fans.
