I think Pawnshop Guitars is a really great album. I like it more than all of Slash' solo and snakepit records.

Great show! Axl without hat on November Rain was worth the trip alone. 

This fuckin' heat.

I love this version. Would probably die of happiness if he does it ever again.

Axl/DC-Axl.

Awesome gig. Great crowd, great band and Axl on 2017 (Europe) level. Decent.

Now lookin' forward to Oslo and Gothenburg.

Where did they find this suportband? Jesus-fuck its terrible.

I like the Tokyo concert. In my opinion we get the best versions of Don't Cry and Pretty Tied Up there. 

1. Nightrain

2. ISE

I wish they would do 4 hours of Seeker, and then end with Silkworms. Epic.

Because of Frank.

Question about YCBM: so was this intentionally dropped from the setlist from the start and will be for the rest of the shows? Or was this a mid-show decision by Axl to cut it for this show because he knew his voice was fucked? I'm still unclear on that 

I think Axl changed something after TIL. I guess the plan was to play about one hour more, but do to problems with his voice and the sound they dropped YCBM, Coma, Out Ta Get Me/Michelle, SOYL, some of the encores... don't know ofc, but I think so.

mickey was over the NA AC/DC gigs it was brutal and today in berlin sounds good compared NA Tour with AC/DC i know i seen it in person 5 times and it was 10 times to many.

Wrong.

This was by far the worst performance by Axl I've ever seen live. I still enjoyed the show and think he will be better during the tour.

Jesus fuck. This suport band is terrible.

Hangin' out at HRC now. I feel this will be a good show. 

Going

Voting for You're crazy.
Did they play Appetite or Lies version at this gig?

They did it in the unplugged part of the skin n' bones set  Very cool part of the set in my opinion.

This is like to coolest thing I've ever seen. Damn.

The last Inglewood 91 concert would be nice to have, because it was the longest show the old band ever did, and a lot of rare tracks were performed.

Indiana 1991 and Tokyo 1992 were rough for Axl vocally but Tokyo wasn't that bad. As far as the rest of the band though, Tokyo was one of the best performances ever by GN'R

Axl also had some very good vocals in Tokyo. In my opinion he did an amazing version of Don't Cry for example.

Im sure Axl sings like he is doing to save his voice. Some times his bad performances probably is a result of not prepearing (RIR 2011 for example), but mostly Im sure he does it to save his voice.

I saw it personally several times on the NITL tour, when he became motivated for example because of a great audience, he gave us more RASP. The best example is the Gdansk show in Europe. By far the best vocals he did compared to the 6 other shows I attended this summer. Stockholm was another good example.

The same in Los Angeles now on November.., very good performances, not perfect, but he choose to put RASP partly in both Paradise City and Rocket Queen at The Forum. Why? I guess a ) because it's their homecoming and b ) it was in the end of this leg of the tour, and long time untill next leg.

I saw them on November 24th and 25th, and they were by far superior to the shows in the summer. 

Im sure, if Axl could do it without damaging his voice, he would sing like he did in AC/DC (or 2006-2010 for that matter) every night. Its easy to see how much more happy he is when he gives decent performances. But he is a proffesional, with a tour to finish and thats why he is not going all inn every night.

Its only two things I really don't understand: Why is he doing songs he know sounds like shit, for example Yesterdays and Rocket Queen (they "have" to do the big ones like YCBM and PC) when he could replace them with songs like Bad Obsession or Pretty Tied Up that don't requier all the RASP?

And... the only thing that makes me unsure about mye teories: Why isn't he giving 100% on the pro-shots (RIR as an example)? Like... the only really good pro shot we have after 93 is the Rock Am Ring 06 and maybe the Inland Invasion from the same tour. Why did he choose to give it all inn Philly back in 2012, and not in the proshot from London? This I really can't understand.

By far the best out of my 9 shows this year. 

It's impossible to pick one from this masterpiece, the greatest album of all time, but I put my vote on Welcome To The Jungle.
