"GNR taught me what not to do"
- and now he's washed up. seems like it worked out well for him
-
People were streaming out past us at about 2/3 of set. Typical irish thing to get out and beat the traffic ?i didn't care about being stuck in the car park for 2 hours afterwards once I got to headbang along to paradise city ?

With their freshly ripped jeans & new vintage t shirts they'll probably rattle their jewelry to SCOM & PC
Or leave after SCOM as I saw many people do ??

Been to countless gigs over the years but GnR's performance at Slane completely blew me away. As a few have already said it was a surreal emotional experience seeing and hearing the guys tear it up after years of thinking it would never happen. The crowd was bananas. You could really see and feel the band feeding off the crowd. Axl really brought it but it really is "the slash show". The guy is an absolute guitar monster. He's playing is better than ever and the place went ape shit whenever he stared soloing.As far as the songs went estranged in particular was amazing. Gotta say the seeker really is a great addition to the set and fits in nicely in the encore. All in all it was the perfect setting for one of rocks all time greats.

Let's get real guys. I'd love nothing more than Brian to go back to ACDC. He's one of the greatest rock singers of all time. But the man'd hearing is shot to bits. No way he could stand up to any kind of sustained touring. Seriously I never heard anything as loud as them when I saw them last year. Plus let's be honest the guy is in his late 60's and there's no question he was starting to struggle with the material live. Let's jsut hope he can keep making music and perform at small gigs like this.

Yup that is their second to last show for 23 years... It is a killer bootleg if you can get it. There are a few sound issues the first couple songs, they even stop in the middle of Jungle but once they got it sorted out they tear it the fuck up.
I recall listening to Nightrain and Brownstone from this gig and the solo's are just completely improvised and off the cuff. Mega stuff!

Here is a great version and great intro jam for "all you kiddies out there in cocaine land"
They incorporate a little "Oh Well" and "Train Kept a Rollin" into it... And a tiny bit of "Roadhouse Blues" at the end..
4 minute improv jam at the beginning!They really were all on fire as a band at that stage of the tour.

For the entire song he blows, but man does he nail intro scream.

Axl´s personal treiner on Instagram: "A nice way to brighten up my traffic delay! #gunsnroses #sunset#Losangeles #traffic #rocknroll #california#music #work #family"
A personal trainer? Didn't think he had one of those!

The main point i was trying to get at with my origianl post was that for a guy thats been in the band since 89/90 as an "official" memeber and played on every record since the illusions could simply be a contract worker in the band during this tour and also in the last 10-15 years. Would he have any extra influence on band decisions etc.
-
So we all know the big 3 are milking it with this "reunion" with stories speculating millions per show with the rest of the band I guess on some sort of generic contracts. I'm curious as to the status of Dizzy .The guy's been a silent loyal follower to Axl for 25 years or so. Surely he must be higher up the pecking order than say Melissa or Frank?
-
From a live standpoint any 3 guitarist configuration of GNR of the past 15 years has sounded pretty poor as a whole. All the guitars get muddled together into a wall of indistinguishable sound. With 2 guitars its looser and there are empty spaces left by the guitars, something which is important.

It's really sad and must be excruciatingly difficult for him after doing everything right and keeping quiet for over a year. Being a good soldier only to be undercutted last minute. After practicing for over a year. Think about that for a minute. So dirty!
Its particualrly dirty form Slash and Duff. With Axl you kind of expect it. Relationship there is non existant more or less given how he said they intereacted with each other when he played with them.
Okay with Stevens track record I can understand the guys relucatance to give him the sole no.1 drum spot for a world tour but he definitely deserved more than he was getting.- 1

Wow really feel for Steven. He was totally burned by the other guys. You can hear he's biting his tongue in the hope they come back to him and offer him something else.

So beggars and hangers on (or at least parts of it) was being played with guns as far back as then? Pretty cool. I remember hearing Slash playing the solo to Back and Forth Again as far back as 88 also.

Boom. Booked for the Netherlands in July. Stoked. I really think European tickets will sell out super fast on Friday so I advise to join up to nightrain and get pre-sale.

Here you can hear him better on a Slash show from 2012. Don't know if it's him, he sound a bit different for me, anyway, he wasn't there during the World on Fire tour.
Don't think thats him. Doesn't particularly sound like him and why would he be working with SMKC? He was Duff's tech in GNR and then Bumble's tech with nu-GNR. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe the people in SA are just simply more normal and don't feel the constant need to look for even the slightest errors and bash the whole band and Axl mercilessly because in one minute of three songs during a live peformance on a huge stage with dancing and running his voice wasn't perfect. Maybe contrary to the people in NA they just can and do enjoy the experience of a great quality live concert and can write about it instead of just trying their best to bring everyone down.
In the UYI era Guns were bad because they were unprofessional, Axl was late, they didn't have a setlist, the shows were chaotic, Axl was ranting too much, blah, blah, blah. Now they're professional, have a setlist, come on time, there's no talking and no ranting on stage, there are no breaks in the performance at all and it's wrong again cause it is stale and boring. Well...
The best comment I've read in one of the gig threads in a long time.

Yes, Axl has very serious mental health and control issues. That's the real reason he'll only let two of the originals in "his" band and won't let Izzy (his childhood friend) or Steven back in. He needs to keep the hired hands, those he thinks are "loyal" to him, his yes men, those that he can easily control. A real reunion would threaten his control.
So you're a Psychologist thats treated Axl . Have to laugh at these kinds of comments.

Only post if you agree with OP um nope.
Some great songs, a few poor songs, and some filler. The best of each would have made one great album but as is they are, remain 2 very good albums nonetheless.

No fucking way dude.
Not denying that Axl in his prime was an absolute beast and force of nature but no way was he THE BEST let alone 18 times better than the best
Indeed 18 times is an oddly specific number to put on it

In nu-GNR times I always thought the opening scream to Jungle at Reading + Leeds 2010 was pretty cool. the rest of the song is pants though.
