    Don't know what to say anymore!

    I was REALLY tired before the show even started but that didn't prevent me from having another wonderful night, still enjoyed it to the fullest.

    Axl talked a bit more this time (told us that it's beautiful here and that we're beautiful and later on he thanked us for our support "not only now but throughout the years") and did a great job both as a singer and frontman. He sat down for a moment during Coma, maybe he considered the possibility of singing it that way as being in the throne made it a bit easier for him. It didn't last more than a few seconds, though so I'm not sure if it was that or what was that about. Anyway, he was amazing once again!!

    Duff got better and better show after show, he had HUGE stage presence, the bass sounded sick (if there's a video, listen to the bass on Civil War's verses!), his backing vocals were awesome (except on Patience)... everytime he got close, the crowd reacted to him. It means a lot having him back full time as a member of the band, the way it's supposed to be.

    Steven is the most adorable guy in the world. Needless to say, he rocked My Michelle, he played it to perfection. On top of that, his smile and charisma made an already incredible night a whole lot better. Even though it's true that I wish he would have been allowed to play more, I'm extremely happy he got to be a part of it because what I really wanted (long before there were rumours of him coming or anything) was to have him here to recieve all of our love. There are many fans who love him and I wanted him to see it, to feel it. I'm really satisfied because I'm sure it meant a lot to him and he'll never forget it (and neither will I).

    Richard was great again. I don't think he's the best fit for this band but he's a really good guitar player and always delivers, if someone from Axl's band was to be in GNR, I'm glad it's him. Frank on the other hand, I don't think he's a bad drummer at all but I do think he's a terrible fit for GNR, he doesn't seem to get it IMO. He's come a long way since april, though, I don't think he reaches the point of ruining songs anymore, which is good. And Melissa, well I'm not a fan of the effects and all those things that she's supposed to be there to bring but I don't think she has a negative effect in any song and I totally love her voice.

    And then there's that other guy... I don't even know what to say, I love him so much that I could never be objective at all but whatever... After he quit GNR, I've seen a lot of people talk shit about him, claim they were glad he was gone, calling him mediocre, and even say his replacements were better than him. SLASH is a living legend, he doesn't need to prove himself at all but it's been a beautiful experience to see him own the shows and prove all those haters wrong to the point of questioning their sanity. He's an absolute monster like nothing else I've ever seen, that "half-man, half-beast" speach is the pure truth, every single word of it. Even when I might disagree with some of his decisions/actions since rejoining the band, I'm certain that the idea of him being back just for the money is absolute bullshit.  I saw him there having the time of his life, smiling Steven style, going crazy and making sure every single person in the audience left the place with their minds blown.

    I could go on forever... I mean, this motherfucker broke a string just as he started playing Double Talkin' Jive, went on like nothing happend and just nailed the fn' song, outro solo included. I had already seen him 7 times prior to this GNR thing, yet he never ceases to amaze me. A new GNR album would help him cement his status as a legend (and Axl's as well) but regardless of what anyone else thinks, he's already the greatest to me and that's all I care about! :heart::slash:

    Last but not least, I'd like to express my gratitude to the one and only Izzy Stradlin. He was the only original member who didn't join the party but without his vision and immense talent, there would have been no party at all. Thank you so much, Izzy! You too are a legend to me!

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now it's Brazil's turn!! I'm so excited for all our friends over there!! I hope you guys will get to see Steven and the band will introduce those songs that have been soundchecked to the setlist. But even if none of that happens, I assure you, you're gonna have the best of times!! Enjoy it as much as you can, it goes by fast but it will leave and indelible mark in your hearts! Cheers, guys!! ^_^

    :headbang:excelente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    gracias por contar lo que dijo axl, no se escucho de este lado!!!!!!

    hola amigos, last show in Argentina!!

    it was wonderful again though this time i did not get as good seats as friday.   the show started like 30 min late, Its so easy - brownstone- chinese very powerful
    ( una máquina!!!)  I remember axl said a couple things to the audience..I think he said " it´s beautiful here" and thanked the people for attending the show on a Saturday night.
     he said something else I couldn t hear partially for all the noise and because i dont speak much English

    i think slash was the best of all, jumping and playing like a maniac, he even broke a string of his guitar.Total Loco!!.
    When axl introduce slash the whole stadium went down!! like a big "thank you".
    I heard duff 's voice a little loud, especially at the end of November Rain, I couldn t hear axl.

    About slash : i liked Coma ( awesome) . Axl : this I love (such a difficult song to sing, so many highs and lows, and people cheered him).
    and to see Steven again was great. he should have more songs!!! The crowd cheered steven so much it was insane.

    this is the end of my one week vacation. three shows in one week !! Im tired and no money but it was worthy.

    Vamos Argentina

    So what's your take on Axl's vocals...?

    i´m not an expert, and Im not a singer so honestly I couldn´t tell !!!  I think his voice was so much better than Rosario, but not like Axl/ dc.  but so much better than the last time in Argentina (Ferro, 2014).  but like I said ,  I  still enjoy his voice!! he is an incredible performer

    well this is my contribution!

    the show was sold out !!, in television announced that people should arrive 30 min before ...

    the show started 45 minutes late ( dont know what happen there..Axl lost his contact lens..? ) so people got tired of waiting and took advantage of the situation, they throw down a fence and began to invade the field. Fortunately the security was able to contain the situation quickly. but It could have been a disaster..! ( here's a picture of the separation so you can understand what im talking about) .

    it was the first time i got to see Steven Adler playing!!! it was a wonderful thing. and i got a chance to compare Frank and Steven, i think Steven is much more passionate and more suitable for guns, i dont know much about the technical skills, but when frank come back it was like something was missing.... although frank is really good too, so im just happy i got to see the closest version i could to the original band. the crowd was insane , I dont agree that Coma is a low point of the show, at least in the seats i got, people really enjoy it.

    slash was jumping around, in one moment i saw him jumping in november rain I couldn 't believe what i saw. i was afraid he was back on drugs again or something hahhaha later slash and richard played an introduction of a song that it was similar to Led Zeppelin 's Baby Im gonna leave you , correct me if I'm wrong.. dont knw the name of that song. I wish I had a video of that.

    going back tonight

    sorry for the english !! Saludo a todos los amigos argentinos !:headbang:

    First of all, i apologies for my bad english. (i'm argentinian) Google translator doesnt help much either.
    i was there last night. all i can say is it was fucking amazing. i was able to see the last show before the break up, in Buenos Aires. And for me and for many people here in Argentina was incredible to see Slash and Axl together again. I dont think that any of us could analize anything there.it was all about living the moment! You can see the crowd in Richard Fortus twitter.
    I have read that some people are concerned about them playing Used to love her Instead of Coma. I think the answer is simple: Used To love her is a song that was a big hit here in South America in 1990 (i remember listening UTLH on the radio over and over again) (perhaps because we dont speak english, so we couldnt understand the words!!) . it is a song that when they play it here people recognizes and starts jumping around. I'm not surprised that they play that song. i also hope they play Coma like all of you, but only because I love it.
    Axl looks like he is really happy to have Slash back. I think we all agree that his voice is not the same, but he puts his heart and soul on stage. I couldnt see any interaction between slash and other band members. Slash does his own thing and that´s it. but we dont get to see guns n roses everyday, and we dont know if we will see them ever again. Just like that last show here in Buenos Aires.

    i will be next friday at River Plate stadium. It is going to be sold out so I think it will be awesome.
