rock4eva Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Axl looks great but the toilet in the back ruins the shot though...The poop throne is very distracting.Exactly what I was thinking Combined with the staining around it doesn't look as first class as we are told he demands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WowKind of. He was right in front of Ashba's mic stand, so maybe about 20 feet or so from us. Pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Archer Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-abSuPynw8Fook, that brownstone was awesome, DJ was on fire and well, Axl does what Axl does best (though, he must have a lot of reserves of restraint built up now, to ignore that T shirt thrown on his face )It's just so good watching Axl do this - instead of having to watch someone like Myles or even the great Scott Weiland do parodies of Brownstone.As to whether this band is the real deal or not, when a new poster like gunsfanoldie comes on here and expresses his opinion in such a well thought out way, it really is perfectly fine. But, the fact is that most of people here log on every day to hear about THIS band and THIS frontman, and they really follow them seriously.So, when people like Sonofabitch with his trademark signature throw out their well beaten to death opinion in everyone's faces with things like "I went to see the Axl Rose Band" it really is very stale. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but after having expressed it enough times to make sure that people understand it, repeating it pointlessly is small minded. The reason most people who come here, is not to read the opinion of others that this band isn't GNR. They come here because they believe that it IS GNR and because want to hear more about it. Different viewpoints should be celebrated by all means - with those in the VR section perhaps, or on a forum exclusively dedicated to nostalgia. If someone seriously wants to enjoy this lineup AND insists calling it the Axl Rose Band, perhaps they should have their own myaxlroseforum - that way the won't have to have the words GNR associated with what Axl is doing and what they pay money to go watch and spend so much time following.

mustaine Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Found this fan review... good one but the bold bit stood out to me:ReviewWhile visiting family in the Philadelphia area over the holiday weekend, I had tickets to see Guns N' Roses last night. The other time I attempted to see them in Philly was in 2003, the first tour with the then new-lineup. That tour had gone wrong from the beginning and the Philly show never happened because the band never showed up. Chair throwing, t-shirt burning, and riot police in the parking lot followed. The rest of the tour was cancelled and I was worried I'd seen the end of one of my favorite bands. Thankfully, it wasn't.I saw them again in 2006, this time in NYC, and have been wanting to see them again ever since. This current tour had been rolling along without a hitch...until last week. The show in Albany was cancelled the day before it was scheduled. Also the band hadn't been going on until 11pm, and with this show being in Camden, NJ rather than Philly, it seemed like the city's midnight ordinance would run into a problem. But I kept the faith and was rewarded with an amazing show.The band came on just around 11pm, as expected, opening with "Chinese Democracy" as they have during the entire tour. I love this song as the new set opener. It's a great lead-in to "Welcome to the Jungle," and the two songs make for a great start to the show.Axl sounded amazing throughout the show. At times the vocals were a bit overwhelmed by the three guitar attack of this line-up, but boy can those boys play. Bumblefoot, returning home to New Jersey, was insanely good last night.The setlist on the current tour has done a great job of mixing in songs from every era. And now that fans have been familiar with the Chinese Democracy songs that have stayed in the rotation, "Madagascar," "Sorry," "Better" and "Street of Dreams," are all tunes that blend well with the Illusion era songs. I do miss some of the Chinese Democracy songs that have been dropped this time around like "I.R.S." and "Rhiad..." but I don't see where they'd fit. The band played for 3 hours and there wasn't a song I didn't want to hear. They can't play everything. And I can't really complain with any of the choices.On the other side, some older songs have reappeared, including "Estranged," one of their most underrated songs. "Rocket Queen" has also come back into rotation. Of course there will always be songs I'd miss, even in 3 hours, "Civil War" and "Move to the City" most of all. But they always do a good job playing the musts. In the above photo Axl is playing piano on "November Rain." The lead-in for that song was a cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall." The band also played a cover "Whole Lotta Rosie," an AC/DC song that they used to play in the early days. Also, Tommy Stinson covered "Sonic Reducer," which sounded real good.The highlight for me was a great version of "Patience," a song I think they hadn't been playing. In the spirit of GNR shows, Axl told the crowd they wanted to dedicate the next song to their agent and manager, then added that he hated them both. Classic. They rocked all the way through to "Paradise City" complete with blasts from confetti cannons and pyrotechnics. Once again the hardest working band in rock delivered an unforgettable show...thanks guys.Special thanks to the Missus for the great pix and for being my date.

prez Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Did anyone else notice that he fucked up NR again? Went straight from "it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain" to "do you need some time." And that's cutting almost a full minute from the song! Luckily unlike RIR the band quickly adapted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
