Axl also called Paul Huge "the original guitarist" at Rock in Rio III - I think Axl's just insecure about Izzy not being there

When did he said that? You have a video?

Her and the paps. The whole thing is really embarassing.

Hey guys,

Have DJ / Bumble or others been removed from the Twitter feed?

Man, her feet are long.

I think I'm in love.

No YT link for KOHD from the official stream yet? Can't download nothing from my device :-/

I'm absolutely certain it's a whole band decision. I actually like the sped up tempos tbh, maybe PC is a little too fast, but I hated the slowed down UYI era tempos, especially on jungle, a fast tempo keeps the songs high in energy imo. Maybe slow down KOHD, NR and Don't Cry a tad, but it doesn't bother me.

I like the faster tempo (during the UYI tour it was sometimes to slow, never was a fan) but for some songs during this tour, it's way too fast.

God damnit! Axl keeps on falling onstage all the time lol 

Stay of Execution is pretty cool.

Or just Guns N' Roses, with the GnFnR red logo, on a black backdrop.

It wasn't that bad, let's not exagerate.

Anybody else noticed Axl dancing with his two legs during WTTJ? He can't stay still :-)

Would be hilarious if Bon Jovi or Vince Neil was there *Who else Axl's enemy beside those 2?

Well, Axl had diner n' drinks with Jon Bon Jovi and Baz a few years ago, so you can cross him. But they were not 'ennemies' you know.

Still think it's utterly pointless since no one in the audience cares/wants it. But small price to pay to have Slash and Duff back I guess.

I don't think that's true. A lot of people seem to enjoy hearing Axl on TIL and other CD tracks (from what can be seen in YT videos).

Is he a member here? We need to start the "Quest for Fede" asap! Gotta buy the dude a beer, that's the least I can do after him letting us all follow the gigs from far away (Belgium in my case).

Thank you Sir Fede!

So the Throne is out and replaced by this?

There are so many good vibes in the GNR camp at the moment. It's great to see!!

The guys are on a high after their first gig, and they should be!

You do know GN'R songs are quite demanding right? Plus in the original key.

Have one built?

Say what?  Now no one complained about that?  Oh, my brother, you're terribly mistaken.

Frank should play the classics the way they're supposed to.  Pay respect to those who wrote the material, it's not yours.  Improve and do your original shit with the material you wrote, and if you didn't write any, well, too bad for you.

Slash plays the CD material like he wants or how he feels it. Frank does the same with the old material.

That's okay for them as musicians to put their spin on it.

We like it or we don't.

I wouldn't take any of this very seriously.

I'm happy to see something fresh and apparently creative, in an ocean of remakes, sequels and prequels.

Full Mickey in PC and full mickey in SCOM.

Do we have the full songs to listen to?

You lost me at inviting Ashba to perform ;-) He contributed nothing except helping get the band on the road by filling Robin's position. I'd like to see Robin and Bucket pop up here and there.

Not sure if this is a hooray for tolerance! attempt, but in any case: I'm with you on the sad feeling regarding the end of the CD era and the departure of some members. I do believe there was a vision, an objective with the lineup behind CD as an album (Bucket / Brain & Frank / Robin / Tommy) then things started to fall apart. What we saw on the CD tour (2009-2010) was not meant to be (Ron / DJ) and IMO was 'second best'. I had a lot of faith in the album, in the fact that it would have significant impact on the scene. It had on me, I absolutely love it, and it got a lot of good reviews but it wasn't the storm I was hoping for. Same goes for the tour (2009-2010) - it was very successful in both attendance and performance but again, not like it was storming the music world by surprise.

I'm happy that Slash is back, same goes for Duff - I'm also happy we still have Frank and Richard, because they earned their place and I like what they do. I'd like to know how Tommy left, I hope he wasn't pushed out because he gave a lot for the band. Unless all was clear from day 1 but remember the first Hammerstein show? He said he was having a great time and that meant a lot for Axl (right before they played TWAT). So I assume it was already difficult for him then but he stood by Axl, I suppose in order to see the end of CD and to take it on the road.

Bottom line, if Axl's happy, if everybody's happy and if their heart are in the right place, I don't see the problem. But yeah, some of us invested a lot of faith in the Chinese era - I'm happy we have the album, I'm happy I've seen the tour in 2010. When I saw it in 2012 it was already different (Axl's voice, setlist).

Let's see what the future holds! A few days to go ;-)
