When the concert finishes I plan on walking to the Luas and getting that back to Dublin. Do you think its cutting it too fine?

I am doing the same. Plenty of time as i think Marley Park has to be over by 10.30 , 11 would be latest id imagine as its a resident area. 

Cannot fucking wait for this!! GC from nightrain membership, 3 yrs and counting and im treating this like its the last time im going to see Slash/Duff/Axl 

Meegan has landed in Ireland it seems anyway

It was the first time they've played it live, I get the impression that they were in the complete focus mode to make sure they didn't mess it up (especially Duff) 

Yeah prob...just i really felt for the first time wow they look uninterested. As i said im clearly over analysing 1 video. Something to have an eye on this leg though and i will ne interested at the Dublin gig im going to nxt week. Never know though...im going to enjoy it like its my last time also because by the time they do come back to Ireland could 3 yrs time and every year Axls voice gets that little bit worse. He can hit some songs here and there but largly the consistency isnt there

What happened?

Nothing major...Slash botched or either on purpose totally played different Solo and i thought Duff look uninterested

Anyone else worried by the body language on SOD by Slash ans Duff...this whole thing coming to an end after this tour maybe? 

Or am i reading too much into 1 performance

Really hoping for a winter European tour from this lot after the AUS NZ legs of GnR! Early 23' but nothing on the horizon announcement wise on this. 

Im all for wanting setlist change and more from the Alt songs list. Id love to hear a few of them when i go to the Dublin show, OTGM, dead Horse, Reckless life, nice boys ,TWAT, SOD etc but when i look at the setlist regulars its hard to actually pin out what should be dropped. 

Imo id drop RQ KOHD YCBM and maybe a cover...but they wont do that as RQ & KOHD have long instrumental solos etc. So ill take what i can get...my last show was Slane 2017 so i wont complain what i get. Could be one of the last Euro tours you just never know

The truck hasn't been open so far, but apparently it will be at some point. There's a picture i took from the merch stand in lisbon in the official merchandise thread.

Thanks 

Do we have any pics of the Merch truck for this leg? Wanna see whats on sale and if anything new for when i go in Dublin

Very SI like.....ill take it. New Album incoming 

Fucking Great interview - we can live in hope for a real Axl interview or the band before they die  

Looks like new SMKC album in the works....Slash instagram a pic of him & Todd kearns in studio......Slash must fed up waiting on the GnR train to start up. 

Ill take it. 

We got a new album....the greatest hits being re released with SOYL🤣🤣🤣 Fuck this band. Im sick of it

Where did you watch 

just watched the saskatoon show from march 1993....holy fuck hand down best performance iv ever seen by this band. How have i never seen this show. simply amazing & the bands comradery is amazing. Hard to believe the tour end 4 months after this show & that was all she wrote for this lineup until 2016 !! 

Its easy forget why you love this band so much in the first place with all the negative (& deserved) feelings towards it being a cashgrab. But man, watching that show just reminds why i put up with the shit & lack of ANYTHING new as a fan

I have no interest in hearing it. Probably about as good as Sheryl Crow’s cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine”.

Well its a millions times better than Axls murdering cats cover of his song BHS,

Fucking great cover!

 

 

amazing 

I was looking for this thread - i was afraid to start it in case it highlights the footage & it gets taken down. 

THIS IS THE HOLYGRAIL...fuck why cant they just release all this backstage/behind the scenes footage...the GnR universe is STARVED for this shit. 

anyway I watched the hour + long compilation of clips there - its called Guns n Roses Robert john [The Photograpic History] and it has some fucking class unseen footage. Just seeing the band jam & shoot the shit back stage is unreal. 

I dont know this is released now - 

But my advice is find it asap & watch before its removed by whoever blocks this shit from us. 

My big takeaways from the book were  

1) didnt expect Axl to come off as good overall. 

2) Didnt expect any of the SLASH stuff, Matt really hammered home on him. I guess that quiet 'its cool man' persona has really suited him. I guess i just assumed with the VR stuff that Matt Slash & Duff were really tight, but it was really only Matt & Duff it seemed. Not a good look for our man Slash & the HOF stuff with matt was bullshit if true, he's just as much Gnr & Steven if not more. 

3) The Duff stuff really disappoints me, not standing up to have Matt the main drummer on NITL. Thats meant to be his guy, his brother, he was his groomsman & as Matt points out he has now lost them to the GnR machine & feels he cannot call on them, which is sad....Matt SHOULD be on the machine. He was my own personal favourite drummer of the band & i really wished he was on the NITL tour full time.

does anyone ever think will we get a full pro shot video of the Troubador show from 2016? Or even any show from NITL ? Slash brought out a live album from SMKC in London recently & its amazing sound

Axl could pull off "You Got No Right"

I don't know if your being sarcastic haha...but totally agree. would love to see 2/3 VR songs added the set. Sucker train blues same deep tone as ISE, would be epic IMO

Talking specifically about melody, has he really, objectively done anything as immediate, powerful, transcendent and memorable as Estranged, November etc? 

I would argue that Contraband is very memorable. Fucking love that whole album....didn't need a NR or Estranged had its own FTP & LTA. Standout album of the 2000s for me

maybe it is Axl's fault, maybe it isnt.  Chinese leftovers were recorded 15+ years ago and most likely owned by the record company, which they have a say I presume in how or if they are released.  GNR could still be under contract with a record label and owe them 1 album before being released from their contract.  Hypothetically the record company that owns those recordings could be saying to GNR, give us $15 million and you can buy the songs from us and release them on spotify for free or whatever you want.  GNR might only want to pay a lesser sum, say 1 million for them, this could be cause for a delay that isnt Axl's fault, it could be a long protracted negotiation.  There might be a scenario where the guys wrote new songs and want to release all new stuff for free but still owe a record to the label or have to pay a big fine/settlement if they dont deliver, which they probably dont want to do.  Maybe they want some old songs and some new ones, but same problem with the label.  The label knows they are flush with cash, and they are probably pissed for all the lost revenue and headaches from the 1994-2008 era, the record company can hold them hostage from releasing music under the GNR name unless they pay up some big sum, who knows.  Or maybe it is all actually Axl's fault...who really knows.  If they are in a lawsuit or trading nasty legal letters with the record company, that is why no one in the GNR camp would want to say anything and are being cryptic, cause...anything you say can and will be used against you.  There are so many things that we simply dont know, so many factors, that we cannot accurately place blame on anyone.

If you can sell out a tour and make bank, would you pay say $10 million to buy songs from the label, just to release them for free on spotify and see no increase in ticket sales?  No one would do that, it is called the "Music Business" for a reason, you cant simply ignore the business side as much as they may just want to focus on the music side.

Slash and Duff dont have that record label burden which is why they release music under their respective names/bands, and Slash went completely self distribution a while ago, so I am guessing even while he wasnt talking with Axl, he knew the record label game was hell and he switched courses.  Slash and Duff also release music, because they need their own music to sell tours under their own names if they want to be around for more than 1 or 2 tours.  GNR on the other hand, as proven, can sell tours without new music and have been doing so since 2002.

My jaysus...did you really just pull all that outta your arse??? Laughable..... heres one for ya! in the off chance that dat is the case, why doesnt the band or anyone fucking say something....like anything?? Say its a legal or money issue...stop this insulting bollox of "stuffs happening"! Throwing around fake record deals worth 15 mill... have a day off mate!!

And also Rich Fortus would want to take a long hard look at himself as a musician. Clearly zero ambition...in a band 20 yrs n released one record. Better off in a tribute band apart from the pay...its the only diff

if this forum had 1 million active members and they were all complaining about the setlist, you have 25% of your concert goer's complaining, then yes something needs to be changed.  But that isnt the case, so everyone needs to just chill out and enjoy what we have.  The guys arent 28 yrs old anymore, there is no changing that, set expectations accordingly

Fuck the set list its the new Album thats pissing most off id imagine and thats down to Axl clearly because Duff and Slash both released material since theyv been back and i think that speaks VOLUMES! 

So let Duff and Slash play this out i guess is where iv ultimetely landed....end of the day most these songs they havnt been playing for the last 20 years. My angers with Axl sitting on a vault of music, that will never get released!! Such a fucking waste of talent to release one album of new material in what, fucking 28 years

May aswell delete this whole section and "new album thread" cos i just seen the ad for the US tour "next chapter". Are you fucking joking me...fuckers labelled the european tour under an "all new show"  banner. 

We again are the mugs iv forked out nightrain tix and im just so defeated with this whole thing. 

Very very thankful Duff Slash Axl got back with Axl for a run but they need to leave guns again if they have any self worth. They are better than beating this dead horse...how fitting its added to the set. We are not getting a new album and meds up Axl  is gonna die with a vault of music untouched. Atleast i can I look fwd to the next SMKC album and Slash is better off keeping his own riffs for his music. Fuck Axl at this stage

where do people get the vids of this show living in Europe??  All I can see is shite handheld cameras on youtube of an AWFUL sounding dead horse..

not asking for links just a direction
