At least it seems that the italian DJ I was talking about last week, confirmed to some friends that Imola will be the selected location For GNR in july...

That would be nice, a 5 hour drive for me to get there

the original SCOM video from theTroubadour... Is Axl  chewing a gum at aprox 01:13?

About Axl's voice... I think it has changed over the years. But more then that, I think he doesn't enjoy singing certain songs anymore, so he doesn't even try enough. He sounds better with AC/DC, he obviously enjoys doing their stuff.

Yep, in topday's music industry not much money can be made in new records.

Just look at the Billboards 2015. No1 moneymaker:

 ...or if the crowd is not into a song like happened for Chinese and Axl cut it and straight to Jungle.

 

I've missed that, where did that happen?

So what if there are only few pages?

Setlist doesn't and will not change, it's the same song selection all the tour. Even fewer songs within SA leg.  It's highly unlikely that things will change a lot.

If something would change, an old song that was not played so far on tour, a new song, Izzy on stage, more Steven.. Yeah, that would create a buzz here.  

But no new buzz is not a bad thing. Shows are great, GNR are back, people going are having a great time, everything is going steady, without issues and radical stuff.

I have no problem with this thread  consisting only from song videos, interaction gifs and pics

Too all of you going to the shows: have a blast.

And we should all enjoy it while it last

Aw man. RIP Leonard Cohen. I hope GNR goes old school tomorrow!

 

RIP

Everytime I hear this song I'm waiting for the words: Indianapolis! From all the bends in the world, this is one of them.

It would be nice from them to pay him a tribute.

I like them with less pages and less are they going to play Perfect Crime questions

it's easier to follow with less pages. Just enjoy info, pics and everything about the show

Very often I guess, that's a big impact on one's opinion for sure. But it's not always the first one u hear that is the best.

That Steven's snare is way to loose. Must be tight tight tight!

Like he's drumming on Bucketheads bucket

Other then that, great version

it's a cool thing to say now,

It's the "cool" thing to say that the original is better. While that's often the case, certainly not always. I'll bet you anything most of them rarely, if ever, listen to the Dylan version. While Dylan is an iconic and inspirational artist, KOHD isn't among his best work. His version is rather stale. IZZY's comments are spot on. Having said that, I do agree that the UYI album version isn't great. The live versions, especially early on, are the best.

It's a cool thing to say, especially since Dylan won a Noble prize. But that doesn't mean his version is better. KOHD was his average song, good, but not special in any way. A bit boring if I may say.

GNR made a whole new song, much better.

I get it if someone has made a good song, that  songwriting/music writing has a special value. But that doesn't mean that someone can't make a better interpretation of the song, or take it to a new, far better  level.

There are covers that are far better then originals:

I fought the law - Clash - Bobby Fuller cover

The man who sold the world - Nirvana - David Bowie cover

Nothing compars 2U - Sinead - Prince's song

It's oh so quiet - Bjork - Betty Hutton cover

It's my life - No Doubt - Talk Talk cover

...

I could go on and on

Oh, boy, this WTTJ sounds very powerfull

When does the show start?

Getting nervous

GNR's version is way better.

Not a Bob Dylan fan. He's too boring for me. lol

I love every cover GNR has done. They make those songs theirs in that special GNR way.

Yep. they make splendid covers

Just the other day, I heard this song on the radio, and it got me thinking it would fit GNR to cover it:

The song has been covered a lot, I think gnr would bring the best out of it.

This topic could also have Izzy & Slash's  I was only joking, and Gilby & Slash take on Wild Horses.

And what about Matt's drum solo?

Rocket Queen or Sweet Child O' Mine?

Rocket Queen

Godfather, no doubt about it.

Noblesville's version is one of my favs, played as an intro to Rocket Quenn. And topless chick dancing on stage

Looks like it's gonna be a good! fuckin'! night! in BA tomorrow

Then I'm sure Axl is not anywhere near the stadium

Honestly, is there really anybody out there that thinks of Bob Dylan when somebody mentions KOHD? Dylan's fans excluded.
Highly doubt it.

Most people connect KOHD with GNR, don't even know it's not their song, and think of this:

Not the best version for a hardcore GNR fans, but a very popular one, often argued as one of the best live performances ever. Even with the reggae

IMO, Bob's version is just good, GNR took it to a whole new level of greatness.

Right.  As if they can't find another guitar player (Gilby ?) in five seconds...

And the only thing he did that was anywhere near the level of GNR was Rihanna.  Trust me, he's not gonna get anything 'more major' than GNR ...  and he knows it !

And that goes to prove what?

Izzy, Gilby, Matt, Steven, Slash, Duff... all of them while out of GNR had nothing as (or more) "major" as GNR.

Welcome To The Jungle

What's being soundchecked? PTU?

As I recall, they are among us? They know what we are saying

But I agree, TB management skills are shite. They suck big time in managing.

I think media always made Axl's and Slash's feud bigger than it really was.

Axl said that he's never ruled out a reunion.

Remember that time where Axl flat out said either Slash or him would have to die in order for a reunion to happen?

I've always felt it's the media making this feud bigger then it was. Axl and Slash were never BFF, they never will be, but they did get along most of the time, they didn't really hate each other.

Axl said some bad stuff about Slash (cancer, one of use will die before reunion happens,NITL...), but I think it was just a reaction. I think Axl felt betrayed by Slash, and he needed to protect new guys in the band, show them support, so every time someone asked him about Slash or he saw a Slash reference he would get nervous and overreact. He's known to do that

So I kinda believe him when he says reunion was always an option. Option that became real when the time and circumstances were right.
