J Dog Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Never cared a whole lot about Nice Boys. But the performance from Tokyo is great. Best version I've heard. Edited October 20, 2010 by J Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds better because they basically have a producer (sound guy) in Pitman on the stage every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even compare the current lineup to the original. The new lineup sounds way more precise and professional.I have to laugh at you fools here...god did you people miss the point utterly and completely...These guys brought the whole fucken silly hair band rock and roll scene to notice with what did ya'll say "raw rock energy'..made a statement that evidently somebody bought into..like number one debut album of all time...with songs that your "precise and professional" fellas can play with..."precision and professionalism"These guys were just beginning to make thier assault on the world here..and then you say such utter complete shit like you do.Hey if .you like the tamed down nice comfortable clean band who...duh have been at it for 25-30 years as professionals im all for it...but your in two different eras..clearly a generational argument here..better is a matter of taste.. if you didnt jump on GNRs band wagon when they were prime.. you simply missed out cuz it had more going on than any ten modern bands ever did or ever will.

And if you can't hear it, you'll never get why that 80s lineup is so revered to this day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Never liked the song nice boys, always skipped it. Live is amazing and it ended up being one if my favourites of the night. Actually I have two lists of my favourite GNR songs. A lice list and a studio list Edited October 20, 2010 by Sleeping Like An Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure in your 30's you've gotten a lot better at it, maybe some good technique, perfected camera angles, it's all very professional. But when you are a teenager, your banging girls hoping your mom doesn't walk in and it is filled with lust, raw energy, and forbidden passion. I respect the fact that you may be a bigger fan of new gnr, but they can't hold a candle to the intensity and vibe of the old band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
