Lethal Weapon Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 According to a journalist who attended the show ...While certainly impressive at times, I couldn’t help saying to myself repeatedly how this just wasn’t worth staying up for. Sorry Axl; I know you probably don’t care that my kids had school the next day, or that I’d have to take a cab because the buses and subway in Toronto stop running at 1:30. Not many of us get to sleep in like you do, you know?Mercifully, we DIDN’T get a 3 hour performance, as the band has been doing with surprising frequency since embarking on this Canadian tour a few weeks ago — Making my way out as “Paradise City” sent us all home into the night just before 2 AM as confetti and streamers went off was MORE than enough for this old-time rocker, thank you very much!I was really, really hoping that I would be convinced that Axl Rose’s “new and improved” version of GN’R deserved my support. I’ve been a fan since 1988, but I’m not someone who continuously pines for the names of yore, the ones we all know and love — Slash…Izzy…Duff…Adler… Get over it folks; a reunion with Axl ain’t never gonna happen, and not for all the money in the world, apparently.Maybe it’s my tiredness that’s still talking, but the payoff just wasn’t there for me. That’s not to say there isn’t potential — Get your $#!% together, Axl, stop jerking us around, and start your shows at a decent time.

ITW 2012 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The Toronto show was kind of average. The show in Montreal was phenomenal though. I've seen the new band 5 times and Montreal was by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The preview starts late in the evening. You would never say stuff like: "The movie is very good, but I had to wake up early the next morning to take my kids to school and then go to work. What the fuck is up with the late start??!!" Would never happen, right??I'm never gonna be able to relate to people who complain about the late start of the shows. It's up to you to plan your day according to what it is you're attending. In no way will it EVER be the other way around! And the majority of the fans get this. It's only a small minority of people who complain and thinks that an artist should adapt to THEIR schedule. It's like the most selfish whining EVER!!

thorzhammer Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 No sure if this review has been posted.....just found itMy link*****Guns N’ Roses defy logic in Toronto (1/28)By Gilles Leblanc on January 30th, 2010 When you go to a Guns N’ Roses concert, like I did on Thursday, January 28 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, there are a couple of things you can count on. Seeing copious of bandanas and tasselled leather, for one. The possibility of a riot breaking out any night. And whatever the incarnation, the near-ironclad guarantee that the band will take the stage later than anticipated.Even knowing all this going in, I wasn’t expecting what the guesstimated 15,000 or so fans at the ACC did when it became obvious that GN’R weren’t going to start until 11:30 PM at least, something I can’t say I’ve EVER heard at a concert before.They began booing. LOUDLY.And I’m talking vicious, Maple Leafs-winless-in-six-games catcalls. Not even quick shots the two video screens kept displaying of women flashing their bras and thongs were enough to keep the restless crowd entertained.Once Axl Rose and his new friends emerged through the pyrotechnics accompanying opener “Chinese Democracy”, all seemed forgiven. It was fleeting, though, as fatigue had definitely set in. The familiar riff to ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ that followed kept folks awake, but it was only for one more song.I give “Guns N’ Roses 2010” full marks for trying their darness to put on a good show despite everyone in the building going comatose all at once. They were very good, better than I thought they’d be. I KNOW I would have enjoyed them a heck of a lot more had they gone on an hour earlier!What guitarists Richard Fortus, DJ Ashba, and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal may be lacking in live recklessness compared to the original lineup is more than made up for in musical professionalism. (Late start time aside!)Not only did they breathe new life into “classics” such as “You Could Be Mine” and even “Sweet Child o’ Mine”, each was given an opportunity to shine in the spotlight while Axl changed outfits more times than Beyoncé or Céline Dion combined!Ashba, in particular, was on fire during his solo. (Seriously, there seemed to be some kind of smoke emitting off of him as he rocked out!)I didn’t even mind listening to most of the songs from Chinese Democracy, although nine out of a setlist of 25 songs was a little too much for my liking. A nice touch was when Axl dedicated “Catcher in the Rye” to the author he named the track after, J.D. Salinger, who had passed away earlier in the day at age 91.Not to be outdone, Axl provided a seriously highlight of the night (Or would that be morning?) by covering Elton John’s “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” on piano before segueing into “November Rain”, complete with oversized sparklers!While certainly impressive at times, I couldn’t help saying to myself repeatedly how this just wasn’t worth staying up for. Sorry Axl; I know you probably don’t care that my kids had school the next day, or that I’d have to take a cab because the buses and subway in Toronto stop running at 1:30. Not many of us get to sleep in like you do, you know?Mercifully, we DIDN’T get a 3 hour performance, as the band has been doing with surprising frequency since embarking on this Canadian tour a few weeks ago — Making my way out as “Paradise City” sent us all home into the night just before 2 AM as confetti and streamers went off was MORE than enough for this old-time rocker, thank you very much!I was really, really hoping that I would be convinced that Axl Rose’s “new and improved” version of GN’R deserved my support. I’ve been a fan since 1988, but I’m not someone who continuously pines for the names of yore, the ones we all know and love — Slash…Izzy…Duff…Adler… Get over it folks; a reunion with Axl ain’t never gonna happen, and not for all the money in the world, apparently.Maybe it’s my tiredness that’s still talking, but the payoff just wasn’t there for me. That’s not to say there isn’t potential — Get your $#!% together, Axl, stop jerking us around, and start your shows at a decent time. You have a lot of fans who’d be willing to give you one more chance, myself included.Setlist:Chinese DemocracyWelcome to the JungleIt’s So EasyMr. BrownstoneSorryBetterRichard Fortus Guitar Solo (James Bond Theme)Live and Let DieIf the WorldDizzy Reed Piano SoloStreet of DreamsRocket QueenCatcher in the RyeDJ Ashba Guitar SoloSweet Child o’ MineAxl Rose Piano Solo (Someone Saved My Life Tonight by Elton John)November RainBumblefoot Guitar Solo (The Pink Panther Theme)You Could Be MineKnockin’ on Heaven’s DoorNightrainEncore: Shackler’s RevengeMadagascarThis I LoveParadise CityYou sir are a PUSSY!
