So much better today! Vocals, band amd image. Thank god it is 2018

Richard [Fortes]  

It looks like the members of Classless act in the reflection.

Great news about the Conspirators if it's true! I don't think it will affect gnr, I think Slash is taking the time that he can't take with gnr with them and that means more music for us and an inspired Slash.

What the fuck, Billy Gibbons must have gotten very old or something. He should be able to play at least something descent in e minor on Patience. That was insanly bad. What happened... 

I hope and think they will play Free fallin'

i'm going to wait a couple more shows, but since south america, axl's voice has been very weak...we all know that his middle range is shot, but now he's struggling to get the rasp in the high range...

You should probably just give it up, this is how it's gonna be. I think he sounds great, it could be better of course, but this is still great.

Yes and what could that vision be?

Is this nostalgia only? Is this a test the waters and wait and see where it goes type thing? 

How I see it is Axl and Slash, and Duff, represent one of the truly great dying art forms which I call traditional rock music. Aside from a few names, most of which are dead, you can't really point to the next in line "rock star" after Guns N' Roses. They are sort of it. Like the last of the beatnicks in the 50s.

So with that they are becoming the Stones of a generation. That band the older chick in the office likes and you wonder what she'd be like drunk at their concert. That's GNR on a mass scale appeal. It won't be long until Bieber is what people's parents listened to growing up. Nick Jagger can't do it forever. So with that impending moniker, how do they carry themselves moving forward? 

Short term vision they can ride this wave and part ways. It was fun. Hatchets were buried. Adler got to check something off his bucket list.  Axl got a permanent invite to angus's house for thanksgiving. But time to go back to what we were doing the past 20 years.

Long term vision they can ride this nostalgia out until they die. Just like the stones. No one expects great music we just like to see you can still move. Let's get 2 best of albums, a live album, Super Bowl, rinse and repeat every 7 years until death. Any art they release can go solo.

But guns are a statement band. So I see it as a mix. They want one last impact. I'm not talking sales or anything like that as music is a toally different animal. I'm saying these guys want to go out with one last bang. Like the real fucking musicians they are.Then they can crash and burn. There is no other way with Guns. You are going to get the beauty and the ugliness. It's the balance they've always kept, even their name plays with this imagery. Guns N Roses. 

Im thinking one last double album of everything they've wanted to stick the GNR name on. Compromises and rerecordings are ok. It's likeTheir second attempt at the white album as Slash once referred to the uyi albums as. Or going over everything with an even finer toothed comb. Who has done it like that? No one and that is basically their legacy. The band that was out of time and place, the band that was ugly, drunk and fucked up. But damn whenever they made music people listen. I hope there is more to what I'm saying then this just being a way to kill some time at work

 

 

In my opinion that art form is very alive and new bands are showing up all the time, at least here in sweden. But the bands will not get as big and famous as before so you gotta know where to look.

The next really big thing in this genre is not something you can point at because they will explode before we know it. And they will probably be something unique and not sound like Guns n roses. 

Who is Nick Jagger is that Mick Jaggers brother?  ???

They know what is good and what is not. That's why we want the yes sayers so we get to listen to Guns n' Roses vision.

hi guys, do we have a working stream?

Working bad :/

I like TSI, but of course it would be better with Steven. This is the reason why Steven is the best drummer Guns hs ever had and why Chinese never worked very well for most of the guns fans. It has too little life. And that's what Steven brings. 

Another example is Sympathy for the devil, a great song with Rolling stones but horrible with Guns n roses because it has no life and with Stones it's full of life. But TSI is great and has another kind of greatness in it than Sympathy.

The audio was low and whitout punch.

Engenhao fucking sucks..lol.

 

Hope to see Axldc live.. i think im done with GUNS.

 

 

Hhaha you get a bad audio recording of a show and you don't like the band anymore? Or are you tired of the setlist that hardly changes? This band hasn't even played a year together, I am sure you will get a lot of great surprises in the next years to come.

Oh, almost forgot to post this!! Here are some videos of Steven playing at the Roxy after the show. Don't know if he only played these songs but it's really cool he did You Could Be Mine and Back Off Bitch!! 

 

 

 

 

King Steven!

You Could Be Mine (Axl tells the crowd to take a step back)

Best thing in a long time, the song got alternated and got interesting. They should do that more often, add elements to some of the songs.

Turn around bitch I got a use for you!

You're pissed off because your mom gets more cock than you? 

Please no. Nothing against Tommy Stinson, but I want a rocker and an old man. Tommy is too young and too new gnr.

I hate to be the guy whining about stuff like this...  But common!  Show some respect. What is all this "would smash/bang" talk? I don't care if you say that somewhere else because that's how people talk and i would have very annoying life if i cared what eveybody said. But this talk should not be allowed in our guns n roses forum. Take that discussion somewhere else. Some class here would be appreciated. 

Mark Storace from Krokus is great! Kinda close to Bon Scott, but also with a touch of Brian Johnson. Krokus is a good band as well.

See Axl, you should stay away from synths, they will cost you money.

Synths belong in the Institute and are not to be trusted.  Have you been playing fallout perhaps?

Knocking on heavens door feels very weird with the solos. Slash is not giving Richard Fortus room to play (which I think he should). They should decide who plays where in that song or maybe Slash should just play all the solos. But it's nice to have Richard play a little bit solo as well. But now it feels like a competition and Richard doesn't want to be a jackass by stealing the show or anything so he's struggeling with the pressure that Slash puts on him. When Richard want to let the solo breathe he can't because then Slash will take over. Very weird and awkward to watch. I feel bad for Richard.

On My Michelle, has anyone figured out why Steven Adler looks pissed in the begginning and Axl is saying something in Mickey Mouse voice and then saying "alright, alright, alright" ??? And what is Axl saying?

For just a second I thought I saw Izzy back there.

Yeah yeah.. I know.

Maybe you did?

I am not wrong. They did the song either way weather it was just a jam or the full song.  Since they don't typically do that song 

You were very wrong. You said Axl sang Waiting on a friend. 

This is way better than Rock am ring 2006 when I compare. Especially the band, but also Axl. Rock am ring was a fantastic show (I was not there) and this is bettter. Nice.
