VIDEO #1

FANS:

-- If you want me to turn it off, I'll turn it off; I don't want to bother you.

BETA LEBEIS: ... No, that I showed the picture of the... how do you say it?

FANS:

-- Of the tents?

BL: Of the tents...

FANS:

-- Yeah.

BL: That you've all been there for a long time. I showed it to... to all of them. I told Duff.

FANS:

-- And did Axl like it?

BL: He liked it a lot... uh... how do you say in... Portuguese? Anyway, that it was an honor, right?

FANS:

-- You forget your Portuguese, don't you?

BL: Yeah... that it's an honor... that it's the fans...

FANS:

-- But thanks a lot, Beta, just for showing them indeed.

BL: Okay, no, you can say it, because he's aware. I was taking the pics that I was collecting from...

FANS:

-- You have to get a Brazilian girlfriend for Axl Rose.

BL: What?

FANS:

-- A Brazilian girlfriend for him.

BL: (laughs) God willing he gets a good one! (laughs)

FANS:

-- He should, right? To procreate, to put a little Axl in the world, right? (laughs)

-- To give you some grandchildren, right?... (laughs)

-- Beta, and Dinho? What happened about Dinho?

BL: Oh, Dinho... he's a sweetheart. I met him, but when I saw him, it was already at the end of the show, I couldn't do much for him. But he's met Duff, he's met Richard, he's met Frank... he just hasn't met Axl yet. (laughs) But Axl knows, I showed all of Dinho's videos to Axl. Almost all, I haven't shown the last ones yet, there wasn't enough time yet.

FANS:

-- Hopefully a Guns record will come out next year... I'm waiting.

BL: I'm not saying anything.

FANS:

-- "I'm not saying anything" (laughs)

BL: About this my mouth is, look... take a look. (laughs)

FANS:

-- But it has to come out, it has to come out, it has to come out, this reunion has to come out [with something].

BL: Yeah, mm-hmm.

FANS:

-- He's hoping for a slip. (laughs)

BL: (laughs)

FANS:

-- This one is worse than a reporter!

-- Well, but there's one thing you can answer: did they get together just for this tour?

BL: What, honey?

FANS:

-- They didn't get together for this tour only, did they?

BL: How so?

FANS:

-- Like, this tour is over, everything is over...

BL: No, but aren't we announcing others, in Europe, Japan...?

FANS:

-- Yeah, there's more...

-- No, but, like, "Give it two years and then it's over".

-- And the new album?

BL: Huh?

FANS:

-- The new album?

BL: Let's see what's going to turn out, right? (laughs)

FANS:

-- Let me take a picture of her shoes.

-- Huh, and the tour with...

BL: What? What's wrong with my shoes? (laughs)

FANS:

-- My aunt loves shoes!

-- What a cool shoe!

BL: Oh, how awful! (laughs)

FANS:

-- What about... what about the tour... what about the tour with AC/DC?

BL: Easier for walking, to keep standing all day long.

FANS:

-- Was the tour with AC/DC cool?

BL: What, sweetie?

FANS:

-- With AC/DC.

BL: Oh, it was great!

FANS:

-- Oh, with AC/DC.

BL: It was excellent, they are...

FANS:

-- Was it excellent?

BL: Oh, very good.

FANS:

-- I could imagine that, because they... the Australians themselves are very nice people, right?

BL: It was... they're great, uh... ah, a lovely band, a lovely person... Angus is such a wonderful person!

FANS:

-- Cute, isn't he?

BL: It was great! For Axl it was very good, as Bon was a very big fan [she probably meant idol] of him, so it was a...

FANS:

-- They made him rehearse, for God's sake! What is this?!

BL: But he could never assume a post like that without having [rehearsed], because it's a different way of singing, it's a...

FANS:

-- It pushes his voice much more, right?

BL: Huh?

FANS:

-- His voice is pushed much more...

BL: Yeah, it's all different.

FANS:

-- It uses more... just uses drive, uses drive...

BL: But it was a thing...

FANS:

-- With the broken foot still...

-- The broken foot...

BL: It was an excellent thing, it was... it was a dr... Axl, as he says, fulfilling his dream, because he as a fan and... it was very good.

FANS:

-- I'm so proud of him because he won the AC/DC fans over...

BL: It was tough! (laughs)

FANS:

-- ... and I would never see Guns N' Roses with somebody else singing in his place!

-- Yeah, because, like, my girlfriend is a big fan of AC/DC and she was the first to say "ew, Axl is bad, yada yada...".

BL: No, but it's like Axl said, they... they would do the first... he would sing the first song, people were like... (grimace)

FANS:

-- Yeah, grimace, right?

-- Then in the end he would win them all over!

BL: On the second one... (grimace)

FANS:

-- Yeah.

BL: Then on the third one, they would say "well, nevermind" and would...

FANS:

-- Nevermind, right? Stop it. Enjoy that!

-- Yeah.

BL: ... enjoy it.

FANS:

-- When are you going to have again the opportunity to see, like, the biggest member of Guns N' Roses along with AC/DC?

BL: Yeah...

FANS:

-- It was beautiful!

-- For a peeve, right?

BL: Yeah... no, it was really good, it was really good. It was great, it was a great experience.

FANS:

-- Are you leaving today?

BL: What, honey?

FANS:

-- Are you leaving today?

BL: After the show.

FANS:

-- Really?

BL: Right, because already... you... it's very difficult when you do "concert, day off, concert, flight..."...

FANS:

-- Tiring.

BL: You know, you need... because of the voice... all of that is... the time off air is important, when you go into a show... so when you have the opportunity to leave... because not all airports allow us to take off.

FANS:

-- The guy is 53-year-old with a voice like that... screaming, using the drives he uses is just... right?

BL: (laughs) He's fine. With a broken foot and all, he did show.

FANS:

-- Ah, it was beautiful with the broken foot!

BL: (laughs)

-- Oh, poor thing!

-- Man, what a distress, huh? What a distress. Imagine that...

BL: It was horrible!

FANS:

-- It was worse than that... had a surgery, right?

-- Back at that gig at the Troubadour...

BL: Huh?

FANS:

-- At that concert at the Troubadour back there, which he broke [his foot], right? When he fell over the monitor, right?

BL: No, he was on top, but the fans...

FANS:

-- Oh, they pushed...

BL: It's not that they pushed, nobody did anything. It's the excitement. He was very close, so you hold it and that thing... then he slipped.

FANS:

-- Got it.

BL: Then that's what turned out.

FANS:

-- Was that Dave Grohl who gave him the chair?

BL: Huh?

FANS:

-- Dave Grohl who gave him a chair?

BL: Yeah, we asked him to lend the chair. (laughs) then he... quick, right? (laughs)

FANS:

-- Do you know why this is cool? Because the idea of us fans always was that they had a beef, right? With Grohl, right?

BL: But this was something else they got together to show that there's no such thing...

FANS:

-- Yeah, there's no such thing, right?

BL: I mean, it's more the m... the...

FANS:

-- The media itself, right?

BL: The media that does that, because it was great, between the two as well, right?

FANS:

-- And he ended up going to several shows afterwards, right?

BL: He did, he went to many.

FANS:

-- Yeah, we saw pictures, there were lots of pictures of them. It was pretty cool.

BL: There were, there were indeed.

FANS:

-- We saw a lot of shows on Periscope.

-- Can you take a picture with me?

BL: I can, sweetie. (laughs)

FANS:

-- Look at this funny guy, Beta. He's wearing boots! Just look!

-- Do you want me to shoot it?

-- What? Someone called me, I hung up...

-- Man, I like that badge of yours.

-- Huh?

-- I like your...

POLIANA ABRITTA: Rock's most impossible reunion is finally happening! After 23 years apart and many fights, Guns N' Roses is back and on its way to Brazil.

TADEU SCHMIDT: "Fantástico" went to Orlando, in the United States, to keep up with this comeback, talk to the band members and the Brazilian family that takes care of every detail of vocalist Axl Rose's life.

ÁLVARO PEREIRA JÚNIOR: (Voiceover) You know this one. This one too. They're Guns N' Roses anthems. But what about these people here, do you know them? Neither do we. It was an accidental encounter. In the backstage of Axl Rose's band, Portuguese is spoken a lot. (/Voiceover)

And here we have a mother and her children, who will explain to us what's this connection of Axl with Brazil.

What is your role in Axl's life?

BETA LEBEIS: Mother. (laughs) Mom.

APJ: (Voiceover) Santos' Beta Lebeis treats the singer like a son. (/Voiceover)

BL: I always wanted to give him what I give my family.

APJ: (Voiceover) Beta moved from Santos to the United States in the early 1990s. In California, she became nanny for model Stephanie Seymour's little son. Soon after, Stephanie started dating Axl. When they broke up, he said "leave the nanny with me". And that has been... (/Voiceover)

Twenty six years?

BL: Almost 26, yeah.

APJ: (Voiceover) At 2001's Rock In Rio, Axl paid tribute to Beta.

Today, Axl's assistant is Beta's daughter, Vanessa. (/Voiceover)

VANESSA LEBEIS: I'm the one who prepares him for... for the show.

APJ: (Voiceover) And son Fernando, among many others from Santos on the team, has the highest position. (/Voiceover)

FERNANDO LEBEIS: Today I'm the manager, but the success of it is really the family. And as I was saying, the trust, right? Axl's confidence in us, to do what we have to do to make the show.

APJ: (Voiceover) And to make the show there's one fundamental thing: the band needs to show up. It's just that they're so unpredictable, that you never know. Are they really coming to our talk? (/Voiceover)

The great moment of the interview with Guns N' Roses has come. Now who's coming? Is Axl coming alone? Is Axl coming with the other two? Slash is uncertain if he shows up or not ... Anyway, that's how it is. Even to decide which room was going to be used there were hours of discussion. We will be planted waiting for the guys to arrive.

(Voiceover) It was about four hours of suspense, until Axl and Duff arrived. (/Voiceover)

Axl, nobody believed in this comeback. What was the force that brought you together?

AXL ROSE: (Voiceover dubbing) It started in 2014, when the possibility of us playing at the Coachella festival happened. I authorized my personnel to begin negotiations. I asked Fernando to get me Slash's phone number. Then Fernando told mom and she said "if this is a joke, I'm gonna kill you". (/Voiceover dubbing)

APJ: (Voiceover) And speaking of the Brazilians who work for him, Axl jokes... (/Voiceover)

AR: (Voiceover dubbing) In fact, I have been enslaved for many years by a Brazilian family, who torture me and force me to do things. (/Voiceover dubbing)

APJ: Like... reunite Guns N' Roses?

AR: (Voiceover dubbing) This! They whip me. (/Voiceover dubbing)

APJ: (Voiceover) And it really seemed like only by the crack of the whip for the band to go back to the original lineup. The last concert with all of them together had been in Buenos Aires, in July 1993. Then, a thousand troubles. Axl even said "Slash is a cancer that needs to be removed". The guitarist hit back: "if he called me, we would have to wash the dirty linen". And didn't Axl call? (/Voiceover)

AR: (Voiceover dubbing) But Slash was touring, so it took a while for us to meet. It only happened in October last year, when he went home for dinner. Then Duff joined in, and we started rehearsing. (/Voiceover dubbing)

DUFF MCKAGAN: (Voiceover dubbing) We didn't plan anything; we were just thinking about how cool it was to play together again. (/Voiceover dubbing)

APJ: Any chance of also returning the other two from the original lineup, Izzy on guitar and Steven on drums?

AR: (Voiceover dubbing) Steven even played a few times on this tour, but he's not 100%, he just had a back surgery. And Izzy... I don't even know what to say. We settle on something and he does another... With Izzy, you can never predict anything. (/Voiceover dubbing)

APJ: (Voiceover) Since it appeared in '85, Guns has written one of rock's most crazy journeys. Duff drank so much that one day his pancreas exploded, and Slash had more than one cardiac arrest from doing too much drug.

But now they're wholesome, and critics are unanimous: the band is rocking.

In November, there are six concerts in Brazil. (/Voiceover)

Any message for the people?

AR: (Voiceover dubbing) Message? We're coming! (/Voiceover dubbing)

DM: (Voiceover dubbing) We're coming! (/Voiceover dubbing)

AR: (Voiceover dubbing) We're on our way! (/Voiceover dubbing)

APJ: (Voiceover) So that's it, it seemed impossible but it happened: Guns N' Roses is back! (/Voiceover)

Dust n bones

You ain’t the first

The garden

DDM

Bad Apples

Breakdown 

So fine

If they added those.. that pretty much sums the lot up with what they have played over the past 7 years. Other than some CD songs they haven’t touched there really isn’t much more they can do. (I also left a few out that Axl could absolutely not handle nowadays) 

The last 3 are being rehearsed.

June 5th, 2023 - Tel Aviv, Israel @ Hayarkon Park
Setlist: It’s So Easy, Bad Obsession, Chinese Democracy, Slither, Pretty Tied Up, Rumble/Welcome To The Jungle, Mr. Brownstone, Estranged, Double Talkin’ Jive, Live And Let Die, Absurd, Hard Skool, Down On The Farm, Rocket Queen, Anything Goes, You Could Be Mine, TV Eye, This I Love, Civil War/(Voodoo Child), Band Introductions, Slash Solo/Sweet Child O’ Mine, November Rain, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Wichita Lineman, Nightrain Encore: People Get Ready/Patience, Paradise City
Notes: Axl mentions that it's the 50th anniversary of Live And Let Die. Patience is restarted because Axl took a cough drop and couldn't whistle the intro.   Source: HTGTH

I think Osaka ‘09 beats it by 1 song

 

Esit: I was wrong but Tokyo ‘09 also has 9 appetite songs 👍🏼

Between 2001 and 2006 they used to play 10 out of 12.

People Get Ready

Unless I am wrong, none of these tracks were on the box set. I think UYI 1 and 2 had Perfect Crime, Dust N Bones, DTJ, and 14 Years.

So we would have 10 total songs from this show after this comes out, right?

 

Plus Mr. Browstone and My Michelle from Live Era (with overdubs, tho).

What about the speech before Used to Love Her? Anyone knows where is it from?

5 hours ago, UncleJosh said:

I am ripping the audio as we speak. Sadly the PCM track is mastered exactly like the CD but the TrueHD 5.1 mix is mastered much better.  I am doing a 2 channel downmix to see how that sounds too since it should have better dynamics.  But the downmix process may cause issues, not sure yet.  It is automated but I have had success with it before on some U2 releases where the DTS mix was far superior than the 2 channel mix IMO.

I want this in my table now.

Someone posted on another site that Slash's guitar is out of tune for the first 4 songs in Vegas which if true would mean the Live Era version of Nightrain was either completely overdubbed or another lead guitar track from another show was flown in.

It's terribly out of tune in Brownstone, but he always used the gold top Les Paul for LALD, so the problem was solved quickly. But then it's out of tune again in DTJ's outro and Civil War.

It's a mix of both

First half is with acoustic guitars from the Skin N' Bones Tour in Mexico 1993. After Slash acoustic solo it switch to the Las Vegas 1992 Show, with Slashs black Double Neck Guitar hitting the chords on his 12 strings.

Outro is from Paris 1992.

Waiting for the IEMs.

Bad Apples live in high quality, who thought they would ever hear that?

I am listening to the Rock In Rio 1991 (Second Night) bootleg right now on YouTube Music and suddenly Bad Apples track became unavailable...

Funny to read this. I was there and I saw Axl coughing LOTS of times and then spitting, especially after using rasp. Like he was forcing so much that he would end up cleaning his throat and expectorating mucus. I saw him blowing his nose sometimes also.

Just checking out tickets for this, the prices range from USD 700 for regular golden circle I think down to USD 134 for nosebleeds/far away seating. It’s the ‘front of stage’ area and general access ticket prices that are most eyebrow raising (they all seem to be very high however). What am I missing here? These prices are extortionate. The Gn’R tour page links to the ticket site selling them at these prices.

For reference Golden circle in Europe has been say $140 (ish).

The most expensive ticket (Gramilla Vip) is 600.000 Colombian pesos (134 US dollars).

They do use click tracks since (at least) 2018, that's why they stopped rushing songs.

I would love to do that as well but, correct me if I'm wrong, the Nightrain exclusive 7" hasn't been released yet?

No idea. Anyone?

The source show for Don't Cry has been found!! 

@We love Axl Rose helped me find a video of Don't Cry from the 2021-09-11 show (first night in Atlantic City) and it's a perfect match for the version of Don't Cry that's on the Hard Skool CD and cassette single!

The source for Absurd and You're Crazy is still a mystery though, Absurd from the first Atlantic City show isn't a match with the version on the 7" Hard Skool single and I haven't found a recording of You're Crazy from that show yet.

What about Shadow Of Your Love?

It was actually played as a snippet, just after Civil War, replacing Voodoo Child.
