Cool. I guess I have to finally watch it. Except the first one, didn't watch any of it so far.

The Houston and Brasilia ones are really worth watching, the rest is pretty meh 

Just watched the full video, probably my favorite selects so far. Jungle is amazing, ISE and Nightrain are also great even though there were definitely better Nightrains on this tour. Sorry was way better than I expected, RQ was also good apart from the „I see you standing“ part which was full on Mickey.. UTLH was okay, I don’t think there’s a single NITL version of this song where it was really great.

Also good to hear that Axl still easily nailed the high notes there without voice cracks like it was from late 2017 onwards 

Sound and video wise probably the best selects as well so far

this welcome to the jungle is the perfect exemple of how to adapt a song to axl's current vocal capability. He is changing from high driven voice to a mid range similar to what he uses in chinese democracy.

That video is from 2016, Axls current vocal capability is nowhere near his vocal capability in this video, or at least from 2018 onwards it wasn’t

Groningen sold out within 24 hours, covid makes people desperate it seems lol 

This venue is like a 10 minute walk from my home but I'm not forking over any money to this band untill I hear some new music.

Doubt that it sold out already. They probably didn’t release all of the tickets at once and will release more later on 

That WTTJ together with OTGM from Houston was by far the best song of the whole selects so far

I wish when I get to see footage of the upcoming NA gigs, they sound like this... ah a man can dream 

Updated after Brasilia selects

How was that show? Remember that the start of the SA tour 2016 was a little shaky (Axl)...

Can’t be much worse than the rest no?

New selects from Brasilia 2016 tonight!

WTTJ and maybe RQ because of Richard doing his solo

RIP 

RIP, always loved his dark sense of humor 

Did anybody have a look at the ticket prices? Are they still the same as they were when the tickets first went on sale? And how do they compare to the 2017-18 Europe run?

Have there been any credible rumors about the US shows?  I suppose it’s all still an unknown. 
 

If 3-4m people are getting vaccinated per day, I suppose a summer outside show is feasible. Hard to believe even a couple of months ago 

Well, they played baseball in front of 40,000 people in Texas yesterday, so I could see the NA shows happen.. but I don’t think there is any safe information on this at the moment

FUCK!

One more year to find out if Axl is still fat...

What about the NA or AUS/NZ shows this summer/fall?

also who cares how Axl looks as long as he sounds at least a tiny bit like Axl Rose instead of Mickey Mouse with his balls squeezed off 

Gary Clark Jr. as a special guest is awesome too! I’m tempted to go to some gigs but I’ll wait for the NA leg and ANZ leg to see, if the bands‘ performance is at least bearable and whether or not the setlist is interesting enough

Cheap and disgusting beer at 9 in the morning in a tent on a rainy field with not much more than 3 hours of sleep

Can’t think of anything better 😍😂

I‘d add Axl‘s Budweiser commercial, Slash and the mountain lion, Slash dying and coming back to life, naked Slash being chased by little creatures on a golf course, Axl‘s „you know where the fuck you are?!“ scream with absolute no reaction from the crowd at the VMAs 2006 and Axl being sick in Abu Dhabi 2018 

We need new music

It's like the whole world turns to shit right now. Dark times all around. 

There’s enough to worry about right now, don’t waste any second of your life by worrying about GNR stuff! There’s loads of other awesome new music by other artists ahead of us. If GNR does something good, that’s great but if not, it’s okay too 

I had way too much of my lifetime ruined by things GNR did (or didn’t do). 

Better times will come!

Now would be the time to drop a few songs from the show for the Selects.

They’ll do a special April Fools NITL Selects today: Berlin, Monterrey, Rio, Abu Dhabi 

But kidding aside, they should definitely release footage of the Troubadour today (won’t happen of course)

I also remember that day... we were on vacation in England and on our way home, waiting for the ferry in the port of Dover. I wasn’t on this forum back then, so I looked for pictures on Instagram, Twitter, etc. and then the first pictures of Axl in his skeleton jacket appeared. 
Exciting times!

Probably loads but the stand out has to be the one where Slash and Axl made up and I was a fly on the wall. Pure coincidence but I saw that interview with Slash a few weeks later where the interviewer said "I hear you're friends with Axl again". I'm basically nostradamus😎 

Go and dream of a new album then!

I feel like I’m not making any progress guitar playing wise. And with that I don’t mean technical progress, but creative progress, if that makes any sense

When I pick up a guitar and improvise over a chord progression, I feel like I use the same licks, the same pentatonic scale over and over again. I started listening to Mateus Asato again recently and tried to get inspired by the way he plays, but still, when I play, I always catch myself playing the same things as always.

Does anybody here have any advice for me? Has anybody been in the same situation and knows how to get out of it, cause it’s really frustrating at times.

Thanks in advance!
