Apollo Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We know how Axl did, but how would you rate the band's performance.There were a few screw ups, but that adds to the overall show. I don't want to see a heartless souless paint-by-numbers band. Take some chances and have some fun. This namd did that and I give then a solid A for their performance.Thumbs up for an injured bumblefoot. And Dj takes a lot of crap in this forum. But imo, he gave the band a freshness they were missing before. He may look like a douche, but I think he is a great addition to the band.I've said this a couple times. Axl should take the keys and give them to DJ for the next year. I guarantee you if Dj was in charge, the band would get together and write and record. we would get a new album within a year and a couple videos, live tv performances (awards shows) and the band would do interviews to promote the new album.

WhazUp Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) I would give the band an B+. DJ and Ron both really impressed me with their performces. DJ's new solo was fantastic Edited October 5, 2011 by WhazUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWong86 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 BThey did good, but made some huge mistakes.. Stormtrooper helmet?? Ok..ok.. We were used to a circus act with stupid masks and hats, but at least the former players could see through them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The band deserves a B+... they were great. Specially Ron. They don't get an A because of the few screw ups.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayceAce23 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I give the band a B+/A- and I give DJ an A+he came into his own in Rio in my opinion. Mi Amor was the best instrumental rock solo since Cliffs of Dover imho....and hearing him tear the fuck outta the Estranged and SCOM solos like that gave me chillz.Props to the entire band.

TiedHands Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 A super solid B++++++! They really, really were on fire, Ron absolutely stole the show, and I have to say, Ashba totally sold himself to me. I challenge anyone to listen to 'Mr. Brownstone' from Rio and tell me that band is not the tightest band in the world. The grooves they get, and they way they all gel together and compliment one another is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) F, but to honest i don't care that much. Most bands suck live, but if your asking me to judge thats my grade. A "F."Axl is part of the band. Imo, there is no way to separate what he did from the overall sound of New Guns n Roses.

Mastodonny Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'll give them a C. They lose points for the storm trooper hat and for cAshba being cAshba. But bonus points for Ron looking like the 20th hijacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 A-. Individuals really shined at points, but I feel like the band could be gelling just a tiny bit better. Major brownie points to DJ, who I've never been so impressed with, and also Bumblefoot for playing through the pain (And his flawless leads on Estranged).
