Blackstar

I suppose because of the similarity with the orchestral part that was used as intro at concerts in 2006 (?) The fan who recorded it is an active member here ( @Mindray11 , if I'm not mistaken).

Someone in the crowd kept screaming for TIL (at the beginning of @xyaxlrosexy's video of My Michelle)

And the even rarer case of someone who was never a fan of Axl's voice, but was impressed at the Glasgow show https://thegingerquiff.com/guns-n-roses-the-pretenders-live-in-bellahouston-park/

He has sung Nightrain like that before - last year and maybe sometimes this year, too. Definitely sounds much better.

I watched a video of Jungle from this show and it was pretty bad, to be honest - worse than usual, probably because of the slower tempo. * I think the show with the most positive reception so far, considering also that it was a "high-profile" gig, was Hyde Park. Negative comments from both media and fans on social media were very scarce.

A review (harsh on Axl's voice): https://www.telegraaf.nl/entertainment/1767375322/kan-guns-n-roses-het-nog-zorgen-om-zanger-axl-rose

Yes, it's been discussed in the show thread.

No, it's not Axl's handwriting. His "E" is very distinctive.

Some people were saying exactly the same about Hard Skool soundchecks, setlists, etc. I remember it like it was yesterday

Blackbird (The Beatles) intro that they did last year? Edit: Or rather Black Hole Sun (I had forgotten about that).

It hasn't been deleted.

I can still see it.

Here is the video from GN'R's IG story: https://streamable.com/f9s86o

Duff played The Garden on his latest radio show. Said he hadn't listened to it in years.

The Teleprompter person may be in trouble (there's a similar story from the UYI tour)

I think they flew from Rome to Düsseldorf , so he was confused

There is always a crew for what is projected on the video screens. That's where the Selects footage came from. That's a standard. But a film crew that takes panoramic shots or shots from different angles, or like the one they had on the UYI tour and followed them behind the scenes is a different thing.

I don't know, the shots, the angles, etc. look more professional. I don't think they compiled this from cell phone clips taken by crew and entourage members and from shots by the stage screens video crew.

That doesn't make much sense to me. The photos they already have by the Guillherme guy would suffice for this purpose. And Axl looked good last year, too (it's mainly his new stage attire that makes him look better this year), so they could use Kat's pictures from then as well, as she made them more flattering (and they're not all black and white, there are color and b&w versions of each picture). The footage from the show in Rome suggests that they may have a filming crew on this tour.

Yeah, it's the same one you found the Duff posting about Live Era on. We have that about the soundtrack, too. Here's the articles we have for 1999: https://www.a-4-d.com/t2861-interview-and-article-index#17637

Thanks. I've been doing some digging up via web.archive myself. From a look I had on Duff's old site, we seem to have the stuff that's from external sources, including this interview. But I found some articles we don't have on this site: https://web.archive.org/web/20140831110755/http://home.swipnet.se/~w-52838/gnfnrs1.html

Yes, he photographed them at Hyde Park. Could be coincidental, because he has been shooting the Motley Crue/Def Leppard tour and they happened to be playing in London a day after (?) GN'R played. It's still interesting though, as he hasn't been at any GN'R reunion shows before. And, considering that professional photographers are not allowed at GN'R gigs, he was there with special permission (or was invited). Moreover, Axl's friend Sante D'Orazio was there to take pictures (it seems Axl invited him). So it might mean something.

Chinese Whispers is a great source about the sessions. And here you can find what was known about the sessions until 2016 (it's not all in one place, so you'll have to scroll down and find the chapters that interest you): https://www.a-4-d.com/t4924-02-global-index Also some information on what was said about rumoured tracks until 2015, here: https://www.a-4-d.com/t2206-the-unreleased-and-rumoured-songs-thread You can also look at the pages for each song in the song database (e.g. the pages for Hard Skool and Absurd/Silkowrms have been updated with all the info): https://www.a-4-d.com/f8-gn-r-song-archive

There'll even be some pointing out how much better The General sounded on the phone clip
