    So I took a lot of your videos and some of the ones I liked and compiled them all into one 3 minute video. 

     

    Nice vid. I wanted to make a quick compilation of songs Axl covers. Just the really good parts such as the middle of bohemian rhapsody , Thunderstruck intro, Only Women Bleed, Salt of the Earth. Just sort of snippets showing how great he was at making a song his own.

     

    My problem and question to you is, which editing program could I use?

    I'm older and not super patient with complicated tech., so a simple one would be great.  I have figured out how to download YouTube vids. I just wasn't successful with editing programs.

    One of the best Nightrain I have seen from this line up..

    Too bad someone couldn't flick the blue haired Pokemon of the stage though.  Whoever says you can't notice her annoying useless ass is just wrong. Dizzy yes, Melissa no.... 

    EDIT" And Dizzy isn't annoying or useless.

    I first saw GN'R in '89. I wore out more AFD tapes and vinyl than I can remember. I stood in line for UYI releases. Shelled out tons of money buying tickets for friends over the years. 

    I'm 43 and brought my 18 year old to both shows in MA this summer. 

    Everyone in my life associates me with loving  this band. I've stuck through every incarnation, leak, rumor, discussion, interview and piece of news about this band. 

    Basically, I'm saying is that I'm an old school fan that has been hooked since '87! 

    There's prob a bunch of people like me here. 

    And after all these years, I gotta say, I love everything about Melissa Reese in this band. Vocals, energy, attitude, looks, musical taste. Everything. 

    I can understand the distaste for her, but no way can I ride that train. 

    I'm not really a fan of Fink or Frank's live miscues. Pitman? Why? 

    And imo Ashba was a complete joke who  had no business being in the band. 

    I think this girl fits in and adds to the live sound without messing anything up. She's in the background,  which is perfect. 

    Or maybe I'm just an old man who enjoys youthful  eye candy ?

    Axl sounded on his game tonight!! I'm still so friggin in shock that this is actually a reality. 

    Axl has made lots of people happy with this new gig. I'm really loving how fans that normally would never see Axl live, get to witness the absolute ferociousness he brings to the stage. 

    They should release a 3D concert for theaters, then sell it on DVD.

    Do 99% of them seem upset or satisfied?

    a year ago, who would have predicted Axl, Slash, and Duff would be onstage as GNR performing Coma and people would be complaining about a lack of cake?

    reality check, people!

    Hahaha no kidding. With those two songs as mainstays on the setlist, along with CW and RQ,  we honestly shouldn't complain.

    I WILL complain about them being kept off the setlist from '92-'93

    Someone said it.. As awesome as these shows have been that "mid range" voice as people call it is just bad.  It sounds very weak but having Slash and Duff there helps to offset that. People that say that Axl sounds as good as he did back in the days are just over excited. There are realistically only a handful of songs a night that he sounds great consistently throughout the whole thing. 

    Like you said people are just very happy to see this band again and his other voices have been great.. His screams are just blowing people away and there are still plenty of holy shit did he just do that moments. His lower register voices and delivery have been awesome too. He is commanding the stage, tossing his mic around like the old days with just enough vigor.

    I think his most consistent outstanding songs have been.

    Jungle
    It's So Easy
    Out Ta Get Me
    Brownstone
    DTJ
    Live and Let Die
    Don't Cry

     

     

     

    I gotta tell ya, the first night ISE vocals were absolutely insane. I thought I was gonna have a panic attack! Vocals were very loud and sounded absolutely unreal. "but it GOES TO SHOWWW!!!" 

    My 18 year old, who hasn't watched many, if any, live GN'R vids, had a completely shocked look on his face. He turned to me, with a grin on his face and said,  "Oh my God, Axl is friggin  awesome!" 

    After the show I told him a bunch of Axl war stories from back in the day.

    He's still buzzing from the shows!

    Went to both shows. 2nd night was much better IMO.

     I'll tell you one thing, people were very,  very happy to see this band again!. 

    If Axl could somehow regain his mid range rasp and add a little more volume to it, he'd start a whole new Axl obsession for this generation. 

    The crowd cheered every loud, raspy scream he belted ; ie Jungle, LALD, OTGM, ISO

    The fierce mid range voice is just not there anymore.. 

    Anyways, Axl appeared to be in a better mood last night and as usual, put in a sh*t ton of effort into the performance. 

    Guy just delivers like no other. 

    If the '06 vocals were happening right now, GN'R would take over once again! 

    Don't get me wrong, this reunion is amazing, people LOVE it and I'm extremely grateful for being able to see them again. 

    These are great days were living!
