Wow.... Is this authorized by Axl? Lol
I like it, loved the trailer. I guess this is the only GNR thing that will make us excited this year.

What is GNR-Int-Staff???
Sounds important and I see it everywhere but I don't know what it is.... is it an official something??
Thanks for asking. Thought I was the ONLY one here who doesn't know (and too embarrassed to ask LOL).
Oh, LOL!
Im not embarassed to ask because I'm new here and also because I spent several years in a coma and I missed many years in the whole GN'R thing
GNR International is just another forum. International cause it's supposed to have sections in English, Spanish and Portuguese, but the Spanish one is the most active. I guess the "Staff" is because the facebook page/twitter account is for the mods there.
Ooh thanks a lot for clarifying! You rock!

Duh.... They dont Change setlist because AXL HAS NOT REHEARSED OTHER SONGS. Plain and simple.
Those songs are all he knows and these shows have been HIS REHEARSAL so far. So he feels pretty secure with this structure. He's in a comfort zone and will not get out there because of you.
Also not changing order of songs because this structure allows him to balance his voice..... Someone mention YCBM opening in the SA tour.... Do u think that was because they wanted to please you with "surprises"? Hell no! Axl was told (and prolly scared) about the altitude thing (it is a warning that goes for soccer players when a team plays there too) and he freaked out he would not be able to sing. That's the solely reason for that change.

Jesus, at what time will GNR play? -.-

All I know is that Gn'R international forum staff is a Facebook page.
Why do they call themselves staff? And why "international"? Do they represent like all GNR fans outside the USA? O_o

We don't have insiders tonight.

Probably. Why not. Gilby's solo material is better than anything Axl has released since the late 90s.
This is what drug use does to your brains... Dont do it, Kids.

I wonder why back then, when he was a bit chubby, he would still be careless showing off his not-so-perfect-anymore body and nowadays that he's got slimmer wears all that crap that covers him up....

Some pussy deleted my response.....
LOL YEAH THAT WILL GET YOU A BACKSTAGE PASS TO VEGAS!
soooo pathetic!
:rofl-lol: :rofl-lol: :rofl-lol: :rofl-lol: :rofl-lol: -
I dont know how can he perform with those extra pounds from jewelry....
Also, whats up with those curls?? where does that come from? I dont recall him having wavy curly hair

How is this GN'R news?
I d-o-n-t c-a-r-e

Axl was so perfect in 2001. Perfect hair, perfect shape, perfect style, and perfect voice(IMO) & stage presence. Can't believe some people called him fat then. Those people must think he is obese now haha. When I saw them on Vegas New Years going into 2002, I was mind blown. Seemed like Axl and the new band had unlimited potential.
He's always been such a perfectionist, I can't believe he decided to give up and let himself go. I think he could get back in 2001 shape in 4-5 months, if he really wanted to. He should let me be his personal trainer, I KNOW I could get him back to where I'm sure he wants to be. Just light weights and stairmaster step machine everyday. No more alcohol and definitely no more prescription drugs. Those prescription drugs are bad news. I can just tell by looking at him now, he's not happy. Hiding behind layers of clothing, sunglasses and hats because he's self conscious of how he looks. No wonder he hardly moves on stage anymore, he must be hot as fuck with all those clothes and accessories on. Why not do something about it? It's not too late to turn things around. He'd feel so much better and more confident if he got back in shape.
Because when you are depressed and going under stress, pressures, when you are a ball of nerves and anxiety, nothing can motive you to get off your butt and exercise.
It's lack of dopamine or whatever..
You know you need to work out, you know you need to go on a diet and you know you look like shit. BUT the death pulsion is holding you back and very little can be done against that.

Axl isn't fat. He is a little overweighted and has localized adiposity around the stomach area,
Basically he's a skinny guy with a big tummy. Some men age like that. And it's really hard to lose the fat in the tummy, specially after 40. Only solution to be flat again is liposuction.
More excuses for a 52-year-old multi-millionaire who wasn't that fat in 2010. Now, "it's really hard to lose the fact in the tummy" and, the fat in the tummy makes you out of breath every five seconds. Yeah, right.
Sometimes Axl fans don't get it but it's not about how Axl looks, but if those looks are affecting his performance, then people would definitely talk about it. For all I care, Axl can be as fat and as old as he wants, I shouldn't care, only if his performance is still great. I saw that his voice improved in the first gig of this new residency. Not something spectacular but decent enough to say it has "improved". That said, he's still out of breath and that's because he's fat.
Liposuction is not going to give him the air he needs. A regular work-out and not sitting on his ass after a gig would definitely do the trick. Whether he loses the fat or not, it's irrelevant.
I'm not trying to excuse him, I'm just stating some facts that you seem to want to ignore because you are probably in your early 20's and just like most young people you may believe that things are still easy after 40-50-60.
Actually, I was saying that I do not see Axl as a FAT person. He was a bit overweighted in Rio 2001. Then he lost a lot of that. And now he has some localized fat. In his stomach. Obviously, he DID work out and must have gone on a diet to lose that evident overweight he had in the early 2000's.
I don't know where you base that the problems with his voice are directly related to lack of training.... And that's where you are judging him without any proof whatsoever..... The problem with his vocals may be related to damage in the pipes, smoking, drugs, alcohol, lung disease, AGE and yes, lack of vocal and physical training too. But its not only one thing and the truth is we don't know Axl's medical history. Everybody, at his age, even the healthiest people, start having health problems. They come with age and its inevitable.
He didnt have a perfect life either.... Performing in the late night, every day or every other 2 days is heavy stuff and it gets worse when you age. So don't be so quick to jump on conclusions and judge him severely when none of us really know what his daily activities are.
There are no facts in your previous post. I'm not an old person, that doesn't change the fact that I have family, mother, father, uncles and grandparents. That's not the point, though.
You're ignoring the fact that he's out of breath and his voice has nothing to do with it. I only mentioned his voice because it's considered a big part of his overall performance. Get it? But let's forget about that for a second. The point I was trying to make is, there's only one reason as to why someone who is supposed to be a professional artist, who has performed around the world for more than 2 decades is now out of breath every 5 seconds, and that's lack of training. And it shows. You choose to sit on your ass 24/7, then when you run a couple of minutes you'll find yourself dying on stage.
Find another lame excuse for that. Other than the obvious one I just presented to you.
I'm sorry but I don't notice that "breathlessness" you speak about.... At least, not as a thing that it is utterly outstanding in his performances. What I do notice is lack of energy in his singing. As if he was singing too low. His singing varies a lot during a given song. At times you can barely hear him and other times, he yells like a newborn. Since I'm not an expert in music or singing, I can't affirm this problem is directly related to lack of physical training.
If it's not the voice, then what is the fact that makes you think he's out of breath every 5 seconds?

Wtf...he could have worn a straight hair wig and looked very similar to his 90's self! People would have gone nuts if he returned in 2006 with the straight hair.
Men wearing wigs don't come as natural or accepted as women doing it.....
I hate the cornrows and the hair he's got now too but maybe that's all he has left for hair...... Im tired of people wanting him to look like he did in his 20's or 30's.... Plus, Axl's got very fair skin... he's a redhead.... Redheads and caucasian people are known to age badly due to the fragility of their skin and hair.
I remember when he appeared at the HOF to induct Elton John, his hair was already starting to look bad, like straw, not shiny and silky as it used to. Besides, he never had a lot of hair to start with... I always knew he would have problems with his hair and probably bald sooner than expected.

You're telling me that this guy:
isn't above using surgery to fix self-perceived physical shortcomings?
While I would never support the use of plastic surgery to counteract that natural process of aging, I think it's rather humorous that Axl now opts for a purple leather jacket to cover up some belly jelly considering what he did to himself in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Well, probably after going for facial lifting he realized it's not worth to do it again? As in, all the pain from post-surgery, he doesn't wanna feel it or be in that situation one more time.
Do you think opening your skin with a knife is a pleasant experience??

November Rain
Why does he keep looking at the piano keys? He gets too away from the mic and you can barely hear him.
So he can play the piano?
That's the obvious answer. However, by doing that several times, he's getting distracted and you can't hear his voice in the mic. First time I have noticed this.
It's because he's also wearing black shades ¬¬
He needs to see the keys so he doesnt hit the wrong ones and looking through dark shades is difficult, so he has to focus the sight on the keys.... Also microphone is a bit higher than it should be... In the begining he fixes it a bit but it doesnt help.
If he'd get rid of all those layers of crap, he could see better!

That rant would be honest if we didn't know what happened after 2002, after ChinDem and blah blah....
We were played and lied by the ex-member but now we are being played and lied by Axl. So that rant lost all credibility in 2014.

Hes the only one that really wants new music.
But it doesn't matter because he ain't the boss.... and this band is composed of a boss and employees.... he can scream, cry, kick and quit and nothing's gonna change ¬¬

Hey, don't facepalm me as if I was some newcomer idiot to the GNR world >
This is only second show of Residency. We can't decide shit yet. Maybe they play other stuff in the following dates, or maybe not. That's up to Axl. But I still think it has to do with taking care of his voice and not unbalancing or shaking too much the ground where he feels safe.
