Snake dancing 

They are not on yet. Vanessa just posted a video arriving to the stadium. So I guess we are gonna get a late start again since the lead singer is still on his way

Steve Jobs?

Jebus, and then they say that we, diehards, are the tough crowd. Facebook is full on dissing Axl's voice  

He doesn't even sound bad. It's just a variation of his low pitch, which IMO sounds perfectly fine. I'd rather hear this to out of breath Mickey  Do casuals know about Mickey? 

I think they'll play it regularly from now on. Axl voice works for it. And, let's be honest, for the band it must be fun to play something different at this stage, whatever it is  

Besides I do believe Slash may love the lyrics. 'A pussy full of maggots'? Say no more. That's something for Slash's instagram

Cornshucker could be part of Duff's spot.

He is too woke

Who knows? The can of worms is opened now. Literally 

What.The.Fuck. Only Axl, dudes, only Axl 

I just checked it and, even though 'a pussy full of maggots' is an image I'd  rather not to have showing up in my brain,  I think they sounded good overall - Axl included.

I don't even know. Crazy motherfucker.  Maybe next show they'll debut Cornshucker

But his body language didn't show any signs of loss of confidence in his ability.

Well, I'll say that's the issue. If his confidence was not shaken by the terrible performance he delivered, he's more delusional than what we suspect 

The thing here is: Axl is going to sound better in 4 to 5 shows. He will Mickey his mid-range songs but he will sound good enough for his high and low register songs. We all know it, we been there before, it's like a freaking deja vu happening in every single first show after a tour break.

But it's just maddening at this point. It's fucking disrespectful to his fans, to his bandmates and to every crew member that work their asses off without sucking his balls, because we know that this happens because he is just unprepared and he doesn't give a shit about it. Every other person doing the same he does would be fucking ashamed on how shitty one can sound.

When he was bitching in November Rain about not being able to play the piano due to tech issues, I was raging with secondhand shame. Same when he did some 'jokes' with the crowd. Just be prepared or call it quits. Band is being affected by it, Slash was noodling non stop, completely in auto-pilot. The November Rain outro was all over the place. What the hell was that?

It amazes me how he seems so oblivion of everything that he can't hear how awful he sounds. Can't he really? Can't he open YouTube on his phone and actually hear how ridiculous he sounds? It's embarrassing and humiliating really.

Hey! I'm kinda glad the forum was down, cause otherwise we would be seeing huge meltdowns in this thread. So let’s vent now, shall we?

What to say? Seriously. It was the worst performance by Axl since the Golden Gods back in 2014 or whatever.

He was constantly out of breath, struggling in every single song, he didn't sing half of YCBM, he fucked up the tempos, he skipped lyrics, Mickey showed up for all the songs, but not his regular Mickey, it was like Mickey with pneumonia. Even Slash was all over the place, noodling like crazy, sometimes even out of key.

It was pretty clear that the band was playing intros here and there to accommodate Axl, so he could take multiple breaks. The setlist was shortened because he simply couldn't sing more. Glad they started the Iggy cover when they did because if Axl sang  anything right after YCBM he would definitely faint on that stage.

It was sad, it was really, really sad. In the IG live one could hear people laughing during November Rain. We all know how this goes - he'll probably get better as the tour goes - but yesterday was rock bottom for him. I can't wrap my head around how can he be so unprepared after an almost 2 year break. What a disgrace 

Duff's account is live on IG

Duff's posting stories for his side of the stage, Meegan doing the same from Slash's side. Who do you think is late?

They have included Perfect Crime as an Alt. Song for lots of NITL shows, but there’s no video or audio evidence of them ever soundchecking it with Axl (they did instrumentally).

 

I don't want to sound mean, but Axl might actually collapse on stage if he tries to sing Perfect Crime these days

Just curious, where did you find this pic?

No number on HS and PTU, so maybe optional? 

Yeah, most likely. For today's show I mean. Pretty sure they will play them as the tour goes. They rarely play new songs on the first date.

Also, can someone explain those words written by hand there?

No mickey and team brazil out...

 

I'm with you, you'll see. Give me two weeks, I'll rant about Axl this, Axl that, tempo issues, this fuckin management and so on  I'm just excited now

He sounds fine.  Given that this is probably the first rehearsal he does since the pandemic started, it's actually pretty good   

Anyway I really don't give a shit on how he sounds... fuckin live concerts are back!!!! You go on that stage and do your shit, Axl  I just went ahead and bought a ticket for Seville as well, so whatever. Bring the Mickey, bring Frank-you-cant-tell-its-Brownstone-until-the-chorus-hits, I don't care, just bring back the live concerts 

Also, brace yourselves for this festival. Setlist will go like:

It's so easy

Brownstone

Chinese 

Jungle 

(...)

Oh. We may get 'Down on the vineyard' with Adler on drums for a change

If you skip to 0:55 you can see Duff n' Slash sittin' with all kind of gear behind them in the house that is neither Slash's or Duff's. May it be a studio?

Oh yeah, that's where Paul Tobias used to be. Word has it that's where TB store Slash and Duff now.
