Nah, he used the falsetto on Dirty Deeds. Besides, i don't think it's too bad.

That's not the falsetto thing, he sounded pure Mickey on TTM

I saw the previous show and he was amazing, even on Dirty Deeds

I'd say VR needs 3-4 years to become mainstream. Until  then, only 1-2 K nerds or rich kids will experience it

Just picked up an Alienware desktop on the cheap. Need to upgrade the GPU but when I do I'll be getting a VR headset ASAP. Was gonna get a Titan X but I'm hearing good things about the GTX 1080 so I'm undecided. 

lol you could build your own rig instead of buying an overpriced design desktop. If you need to upgrade the GPU, then i highly doubt that you've made a great deal

That being said, GTX 1080 is slightly better and "cheaper" if you really wanna go down on the high-end route

My trying to be objective opinion is that it did not totally fail if I look at it as a fan. It could have been so much more probably, but I feel like Axl was very limited not as a musician, but more as a person perhaps.

He did not pull the trigger when he probably should have, it took too long to gain momentum and it was not consistent enough to grow naturally. He wasn't there a lot of the time according to past new Guns members and he couldn't let the album go.

I think artistically he did it, against all odds, an album no one has really created before in such a way, and the outcome was something that I feel does justice to the legacy of Axl. The quality is there.

I suspect it wasn't all on Axl, that people tried to make a reunion happen, Ezrin, RTB, and Iovine probably made matters worse, and the label didn't think it was good enough, maybe more than once.

And all this shit is going down while Axl is as insecure as ever, trying to prove he can do it with a different band. He said it's a miracle it got released.

To be brutally honest, I don't think Guns was meant to exist without Slash and Duff. I'm not saying Izzy cause he doesn't like drama and huge epic albums and tours. Steven is not as crucial but I recognize his significance of course.

Welll, considering that the majority of their biggest hits (sans November Rain) wrote by Izzy Stradlin, your point is moot. After Izzy left, they can't write anything like they used to,  because he was the key factor in songwriting. Of coure that the songs needed everyone's input, but the key part to cohesive sound and songs was Izzy and the downfall started when their ego's can't make any compromise (remember the " you play on my song, then i play on yours" thing?)  Even Axl admitted that he begged Izzy to come back, because he knew that they can't really sustain their style without him. That's why he wanted to try new things and Slash wanted to keep their roots. Not just because of the so called "evolved GNR" vision.... The rest is history

I read the thread, it was more than 25 years ago, who the fuck cares?

That being said, if Angus  or Brian doesn't care after all these years, then why should we care?

Hahahaha! He's like an urban legend around here, whenever he's out of prison I start seeing people I know posting pics of sightings of him all over Facebook

I thought that his profile pic is a dead body's face

Wait, they were playing Touch Too Much after THE SHOW I SAW?

EDIT: I just watch TTM, For the love of god, Axl, go sit back down.... First time he was really Mickey on an AC/DC song

it more sounds like a Kiss song than a gnr song to me

More like Def Leppard with actual talent, lol

Well, Rock or Bust is a mediocre song so...

terrible news, rip

Well, i haven't been in this threadfor a while (for a lot of reasons) but here's the "New Slaves" ripoff again:http://www.tmz.com/2016/05/20/kanye-west-sued-new-slaves/

Gabor agreed, but says that was only under the assumption a formal deal would be laid out.

According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Presser says Kanye sent him a $10k advance to push the deal through, but Presser says he never cashed the check.

It could end up costing Kanye way more. Presser's suing for at least $2.5 million

lol bacardi

All time?

Probably Felt Forum 88

My personal experience?

2010 Bucharest

Fuck, i have a big temptation to go to an another gig, because i have a few friends in Düsseldorf, but i've already spent too much 

There was a show tonight and i completely thought that the Vienna gig will be the next.....

I'm an idiot

All a load of bollocks if you ask me, anarchy and that, just a bunch of middle class nonsense and anyone that believes in it is a twat.  Its something university students get on as a cure for employment.

Civil disobedience is merited against tyranny and the rules of tyrannical governments. Railing against the rule of law in a system that allows you to do so, or calling for its overthrow, when instead you have the opportunity to form majorities of opinion similar to your own and change the laws you disagree with, seems awfully like anarchy to me. 

you know nothing about anarchy, imho (or don't really understand what anarchy stoods for)

I don't necessarily think he cares about it more, but I do think he's enjoying it more at the moment. I mean, he doesn't have to worry about any of the business bullshit, he just shows up and sings the damn songs and that's it. He's still very much in charge of GN'R, so that's probably a lot more taxing on him. Not to mention that he's fronting a band he's always idolized, it's easy to see why he's excited about it.

Good point

Well, i'm more excited about AXL/DC than in GNR or AC/DC in the past few years so it's a win-win for the fans

I don't think that he could throw out the GNR name after all the shit went down and this recent semi reunion

At the end of the day: GNR is his life since 1985

If he can manage to fill in for more AXL/DC shows while he is still fronting GNR, i don't see the problem

The only problematic thing is new music, because he finallly got a legit excuse if he fronts 2 bands

Don't want to be a bitch about this, but he didn't do the extended FAAAAAAAYERRRRRRRRRR at 3:54 and I still believe in that being achievable, or certainly possible .

Apart from that minor thing, that performance made my ear drums bleed. Axl is just murdering it.

I hear ya!  I want that part too!

I'm just glad that i have tickets to the next show, therefore i can see Axl and AC/DC on top of their game after 2010 (GNR) and 2009(AC/DC)

I will be there aswell

I haven't seen Axl live since 2010 and haven't seen AC/DC since the Black Ice tour, woo-hoo!

As for WhatApp, it would be cool if i meet you guys, but i come from Hungary so i don't think i can manage to get there earlier

As if anything on Powerage could be lolworthy. Face it, you are wrong on this.

Well Powerage is hardly their best album

face it, you are probably a Bon fanboy

Every time he sings this, I'm kind of nervous about him blowing his voice but I always hope that he'll risk it all and do the extended faaaaaaaaayerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! at the end that we hear on the album. Too much to hope for I guess.

Too much?

There's NOTHING too much to ask for, if you watch the full show, there are more challenching parts out there

That being said, i'm with you, i really want that part, my fav from FTATRWSY

THis was the bet show yet in 2016

Just now, bigpoop said:

The live version from If You Want Blood is one of the best things they ever put out.

It was the best live Riff Raff, i can give you that

but still lolriffraff especially within the complete AC/DC discography

Just now, GNRfan2008 said:

That's still insane. Both amazing songs.

To each his own

hells bells, Back In Black, Highway To hell, those are the amazing songs...

Riff Raff is just a filler really

Highway to Hell? Are you insane?

Riff Raff

Just now, bigpoop said:

No way. It's one of the greatest rock songs of all time!

lol

 AC/DC got better b-sides than this song
