He can still do the melodic stuff in the studio, like the HS solo is pretty much classic Slash. But then he improvs it live.

100% agree Personally I think he's just bored with playing the same songs over and over and at this point in his life it's just easier to improv most of the solos (and probably more interesting for him too). He still keeps the main points and transitions of the solos, but the parts in between are freestyle.

Because she triggers the sample of the loud scream each time.

Hope I get it at my show.

There's past videos here https://vod.graspop.be/nl/

Is there a way to see past streams from earlier in the day? GnR isn't listed on the upcoming streams on that site, the last one is Alter Bridge.

Probably one of his new solo songs.

That would be a nice change

Axl looks like he's having a blast.

You're not wrong.

Earplugs.

London has gotten really good. I've seen him play with his band a few times over the last couple years and the last time I saw him (April of this year at NAMM) he was killing it. Wouldn't mind seeing him up there with GnR as long as he doesn't do any weird stuff. Yeah that's why he was there, just hanging out before meeting up with his band for their shows.

That's on the recording too, that will sound cool also. Apparently one of my friends is going to this show, afaik she's not a huge fan like us so I'm curious what she thinks about it afterwards. Jealous that they might do Coma, Locomotive, etc tonight.

That's how a lot of bands operate.

I see a few designs I like, will probably wait for them to go on sale online though.

What was that? Fwiw I do think there's some kind of plan to try writing all new material after this tour, like Slash said a while back. First we get Perhaps and whatever else this year then maybe something new later. I don't think he would've said that if it hadn't already been talked about before between them. I would love a studio version of this.

They're awesome.

I feel the same way. He's Slash, he can do whatever he wants. Yes definitely, hope he can keep it up for the rest of the year.

Going to have AIC at my show, wish I was getting Dirty Honey or The Warning instead.

Yes yes yes 1000%!!!!! A big part of that was Matt, that's where a lot of the energy and groove is coming from.

I definitely want to hear Bad Apples (although Frank is probably going to mess that one up also).

Doesn't look like it.

It's just the first show, let's see what happens going forward. Maybe he'll try the high part in the chorus later. Yeah exactly. He's pushing it a little faster which isn't necessarily bad (it does sound kind of cool) but it's not the same as back then, where it drags just a little.

He forgot to do Perils at the beginning though, did it at the end instead. Hopefully he'll remember the "and I can tell you a thing or two about something else if you really want to know" bit for the end next time. I know I'm biased because I'm a huge Matt fanboi but PTU, BO, and DOTF would sound better imo if he was there. The feel just isn't the same with Frank.
