Wtf Sorry ?!?! 

That I don't particularly care to hear. Inappropriate considering the lyrics, too

I bet Slither replaces Seeker at some point. In SMKC Slash often ended his show Slither, Paradise

And they slowed the tempo down on it.. I think that added to Slash sounding very good.

BUT BUT that's the tempo the band wanted. They wanted to play Nob Rain in 7mins and Don't Cry in 2mins!

Anyone have a photo of the hug from early in the show? Think I saw it get mentioned on here among the first few songs, possibly after LALD? I know folks said Axl and Slash hugged and the place went off, I'd love to see either a photo or video of that.

hug? you mean when Axl leaned on Slash?

When I saw Slash in 2012 he busted a string right ahead of the SCOM solo, so what followed was a mostly improvised but pretty cool rendition of the solo. He's good at that sort of off the cuff stuff. I actually don't mind when stuff like that happens!

You know Slash is really into a song when he breaks a string!

hahaha wtf!!!!!

Wow that was good, not the biggest fan of this I love but that solo shits all over what's on the record. 

Disagree but it was better than the previous shows and closer to the original. At least some of the key notes

Slash broke a string during Nightrain, that's why the outro was so different. Can't fault him for that one. 

oh ok phew!!!!

was a little worried there since that's my favorite song and favorite part in a song!

Gotta give it to Frank he nailed Rocket Queen. The whole band did. Tempo, groove was perfect! Much better than the previous clusterfuck!

Brownstone was still noticeably fast.

Hopefully Slash just forgot how to play the Nightrain outro and he won't be changing it up ever night

The other big 3 enjoy playing it

They could do some pretty great rock n' roll if they knew how to use the keyboards for it. 
You ppl might not be aware but some of the greatest rockers of all time did great with keyboards/pianos as a main instrument. Not saying GNR should do the same, but they could do amazing rock n roll songs with two keys and not only weird industrial shit. 
 

 

What the hell was Slash playing during Nightrain. What is he drunk?! You can't play a different outro solo all of a sudden!

Please don't ruin my favorite song on 7/23

I think when a band covers a song it should be because it's something really exceptional. Live and Let Die is a great cover song but The Seeker is a bit bland to begin with

Agreed! I always say how sick and tired of LALD but every time I see them Live it just rocks so damn hard. KOHD on the other hand is piss, shit, beer, smoke time. And the boring extended version allows for all 4 if necessary!

The Seeker is a good time to leave and beat the traffic rush its so bad

KOHD is a fan favorite and it's gotta stay as much as us hardcore fans might wanna see something more rare. But the seeker instead of playing both Patience and Don't Cry is so stupid

Seriously wtf with that stupid fuckin song!

They sound so much tighter. SMOKIN!!!

We do not know what he is up to. Maybe he is there, but saving his voice or checking the sound. Maybe he is taking a vacation after the AC/DC gigs and mentally prepares for the tour. How much gnr means to him is something only he knows, and probably it means the world to him.

Yea there's no reason for him to be sound checking days before the show. I'm sure he will the day of. The other guys need the extra sound check and rehearsal 

and troubadour

Slash does such things. 

Not like he used to. VR & SMKC stages were much smaller than the UYI stage but yea they all move around pretty good in their 50s. 

Seriously they are pushing 55. You won't be seeing them jumping off ramps and  sprinting from one end of the stage to another lol

good point about the stupid effects. They zero no purpose and are actually quite distracting. Lights are enough. Good idea show the different logos and a few classic pictures. We don't need shots from someone flying through the clouds or drag racing!

I got a Pit 2 for 7/24 MetLife 
I would like to exchange for a Pit 1.  Or for a 7/23 Pit. Or Philly ticket
It's a hard ticket

Even New Rose is too fast. How is it even possible for a punk song to be played too fast and sound like shit?!

I think we need guys like Izzy, Gilby & Matt to ground these guys again. Do they honestly think they sound good?

There are 2 simple fixes:

1-Frank and the guys tighten this up

2-Matt Sorum

ok ..so... im usually in the ac/dc box in this stable, only place i belong ... but .. just gotta say something about this...

im extremely aware of me getting onto someones killing list ...for thinking this

and i want to say, for the arguments sake ... that Im a drummer... been for 30 years...played ... professionaly alot ... played every god damn genre there is ...
....so im actually not a total idiot talking out of my ass....

still though .... ITS MY PERSONAL OPPINION.... people here i noticed have problems with that sometimes... just passion probably but still...IM NOT PICKIN A FIGHT

 

I liked ApetiTe for destruction ... very groovy record and steven playes realy nice... he got that laidback beat with a real punch...

so i just have to say that this does not look good...he can barely hold a 4/4 steady and when he hits the cymbals they sometimes hardly move, he looks more like touching the cymbals,, ... when you play rock music .... your supposed to punish the drums, certain songs anyway....  ... this is bearly holding on ... and then not to talk about the wright wrist that dont seem to be functioning as he looks like he playes with his whole arm....

im gonna get murdered for this i know... but then again sometimes you have to challange and hope it exists: the so called belief in free speach and difference between oppinion and person

but this is just plain emabarrasing to see.... and its tragic because i know he was a decent drummer... never a great one... that is my own oppinion, that i hope i can have ... even about a member of guns and roses....they are only human to actually...Let me say this then also that Phill Rudd is no Great drummer, certainly not any more... he was great at what he did...and he to ..wasted it all on drugs.... and ive seen similar videos of him playing 4/4 to his own music and it sounds ..shit...And if!! Angus would take phill back i would seriously question what the hell he was thinkin ...for the first time... Chris Slade is 70 ...never done drugs or much drinkin and he kicks so much as on drums with ac/dc .. no ballad band have in mind ..

but... as i said the sadest thing about it is to see this musician who has totaly destroyed himself on drugs and shit and now desperately wants to be what he was...

and he cant ... he can barely move his upper body ...

no one with a objective view can belive that this guy could do two hours of fast intense rock music ... on a hot stage ....

THIS SONG IS (IMO) A BALLAD IN COMPARISON TO PARADICE CITY ... AND LOOK HOW HE PLAYS

 

PS!!!.. im  not trying to put anything or anybody dowm ...this is realy realy realy sad ..think its so sad ... cause he sits at home with his little taped up kit with a towel over the snare drum and probably dreams of playing in guns and roses ... wich he did .....same as Phill Rudd sits in his house playing away hoping Angus is gonna call ... he aint!

Look at Axl with ac/dc ... the energy that man has ... at 54... and look at steven on that video ...

Im sorry ...

No disrespect but I will judge him on the dozen or so times I've seen him play live since 2002 over him playing to the record alone in his basement. He can still play the AFD/Lies songs.

Now the people expecting him to play UYI and CD are extremely delusional indeed

I agreed and that's what I thought originally, but if you look at the pic posted with regard to where the Ford Field logo is (which is the 50 yard line), it looks more like the 35. Hopefully that makes sense lol

 

They might've moved it closer for ford field since it didn't sell well

The Garden can be sang in the same way Don't Cry is done, really. Don't Damn Me and Des Horse could be sang like he does AC/DC, possibly, but I doubt he'd do them that way and even if he did, they're still harder to sing because they're faster, even that most AC/DC songs. Just listen 5o how he used to sing The Garden. He can definitely sing it the same way. I don't see him doing it Mickey style at all.

You are right now that I think about it. Shows how little I care for the song but it is lower range. He can easily sing it. I just don't care to see it

^Agreed songs that require singing like SCOM, November Rain, TIL & Better are harder for him to sing these days. Don't Cry sounds great tho! Maybe cos its lower register like Patience. Those songs he struggles with are more in between. Hence midrange. They've always been harder for Axl to sing
