Just back from gig. Crowd was dead. There were a few half-decent moshes during YCBM, Nightrain n PC (PC had the cool extended intro they tried for the first time at the L'ARC gig), but that was it. It was a real shame, Axl really tried to get the crowd going during KOHD but they were so quiet. It didn't seem that they weren't enjoying it, just that they had quiet reverence for the band (appropriate for Switzerland I guess :P ). Bercy was MUCH more vibrant (the reviews which said people didn't move in Bercy were bullshit, the atmosphere was electric that night). People didn't move to Better, let alone CITR (great performances of both songs though, 3 gigs and I've heard CITR both acoustic and electric :) ). People I spoke to afterwards said they enjoyed the show, so I guess it's just a case of the Swiss being calmer during gigs. Still, I had a great time which is the most important thing ;) (though obviously NOTHING will top the L'ARC gig). Some chick kept trying to grind on me during Murderdolls. I got rid of her by the time the main act started. I had my eyes on a 48 year old biker-tached ginger dude. Nothing gets in the way of my Axl Rose enjoyment. NOTHING.

I should probably seek professional help :P

Choice quote: Axl, just before Better: "Just because I'm hungover doesn't mean I get to go home early..."

Sounds great, glad you had fun, you're one lucky bastard between the shows and the secret gig... and seriously, get that help! ;) You passed up on a concert chick! ;)

"Switzerland is incredibly pretty, but unfortunately the most boring country I've ever been to."

When you don't live a long time in a contry, you just don't know the country and its people. That's a fact. To think otherwise is what xenophobic fuckheads do.

it's ok they've put in Catcher in the Rey, but it could replace a song from Appetite and not from Chinese, after all it's Chinese Democracy World Tou <_< r! I for one hope they'll play Madagascar in Romania, even if that would mean to get Catcher out, because it rules over Chinese songs. B)

anyway, great show in Swiz. :thumbsup:

Yeah, that's what I meant in the earlier post, the Swiss are a little stiff, so to speak. No offense intended, they got other qualities.

You are Axl's groupie number 1! :)

Catcher?????????

On a non-acoustic show?????

OMG., FINALLY. Now just keep that shit in there forever, please.

WHAT SHE SAID!

Catcher should be a regular. Even if they play it acoustically :D

I'm sure it will be a regular on the next shows. They probably tried it out at a small gig to implement it into their setlist in the future.
