Less songs than usual.

Too bad, Indy was a much better show

Better is so bad, please replace it with literally anything else

Any fans wear masks? Did they check for vaccinated people? I doubt it. So I hope you guys stayed safe and enjoyed the show!

No, and it was indoors to boot.  If you don't get covid from this, you likely aren't getting it

He introduced WTTJ last night..

Indy....from one Hoosier to another

Do you know where the fuck you are?

Oh yes, I totally get that. I just joked about the pizzas "objectively" not looking good.

Btw, a 2002 article in the local newspaper of Lafayette about Axl's history with Arni's Pizza:

Good article, hadn't read that one before

These pizzas really don't look too good

Arni's is "ok", but when you grow up on a certain place like Axl did (they are homegrown Lafayette pizza place with a store in Indianapolis), you love it no matter what.  Reminder of your youth.

Did it ever occur to you, that the message may not have been directed at the fan base, but might have a significant meaning or milestone directed at someone or something...

For instance, this show could have been special because the lead singer was playing in his home town. The rose emjoi placed at the end of the message kind of give it away. 

Don't overthink the situation.

You then, start to look for things that don't exist. 

A simplistic approach, tends to be the better approach. 

The simple answer is, it was a special show for Axl Rose as he was playing in his hometown. 

 

He's not from Indianapolis, Lafayette is an hour northwest.  But, he made a lot of references to being a Hoosier (an Indiana native) and "see what can happen when you grow up surrounded by cornfields" after SCOM.  He really impressed me with his singing last night.

Good fuckin night

Madagascar

Don't cry

Seeker

Paradise city

Axl with a much more gutteral howl these days.

Much improved in many areas

His reply "oh man, that all got shelved"

Entire upper deck closed off, so lower bowl and field only.

Better off playing bankers life than those cavern

Those things have nothing to do with rock music, they effect every singer. Also, rock fans aren't stupid and don't need basic things explained to them lol 

The examples of groups doing their best work in their 20's and occasionally later is SPOT on.

There's nothing else to rage against

He lives in California. Can't blame him. Why live in Indiana when you have the kind of money he has? 

That's where he's from, family, etc

How about Izzy doing Dust N Bones as a guest.  They are right by "beloved motherfuckin I65"

After years of straining night after night on the road, with little proper rest and in many cases smoking, drinking, and drug abuse mixed in, damage is done. That's why rock singers often lose the capacity to sing their older songs as they were recorded and end up forced to play them in lower keys as they age. Their vocal range constricts. Their capacity to make large melodic leaps declines, leading many singers to embrace a form of talk-singing, in which a song's melody is merely gestured at and approximated. This damage can also limit an artist's capacity to produce new music as vibrant as what they once wrote and performed.

Someone of Axl's family still live in Indiana?

Pretty sure his half sister Amy lives in Indianapolis

I'll be there.

St Elmo's earlier in the day.  Shrimp Cocktail and St Elmo's colas.

Fernando, i'll be at the Indianapolis show.  Will Axl have his ARNI'S pizza while in the Homeland?  Maybe a run up to Lafayette to see the old stomping grounds/visit his mom's grave, etc

Don Everly was a hell of a lot more than "Axl's former father in law" 

In our Guns community context, all I meant by it guy

Don Everly is survived by his mother, Margaret; his wife, Adela; his son, Edan; and his daughters Venetia, Stacy and Erin, ex-wife of Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose.

In 2019, Don was voted into the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville; in a video, Keith Richards called him “one of the best rhythm guitar players I’ve ever heard.”

What show is this from?

Good question

From 1991 for sure, I'd say maybe Toronto?  I recognize the NIN shirt

INDIANAPOLIS

Axl in the homeland
