God, American reviewers suck ass , seriously fuck em, here is another review from orlando weekly

He plays piano as listlessly as a hotel-lobby hired hand; he has a double chin and a handlebar moustache now; he sings as if a dying pelican is lodged in his larynx; he’s still pulling the middle-of-tomorrow start times and he’s still liable to either cancel a show or walk out at the slightest provocation, then, via the band’s publicist, have the gall to claim that he “would never seek to intentionally disrespect anyone, especially their fans” when, if anything, that’s kind of Guns N’ Roses’ modus operandi (see: their entire career). We still love Axl Rose despite, and perhaps because of, his faults. We don’t expect a technically peerless show or even a vaguely cohesive song from Liza Minnelli or Lauryn Hill, so why, a quarter-century after his peak, do we still throw water bottles (or in some cases straight-up riot) when Rose and his backup band, none of whom are named Slash, Izzy, Duff or even Gilby, fail to live up to 1987 standards? Because it’s fun. It’s also super expensive, so pick up a tour shirt for us if there’s looting, won’t you? – Justin Strout

I perceive this as written before the show. Am I wrong?

[Ana_1991]

[uzi your illusion]

well it was posted today, so unless they wrote it before hand, I'd say its just some asshole that holds a grudge.

It looks like the US tour got off on a good start.

"It's as if thousands of naysayers cried out and were suddenly silenced"

Good thing I was never a naysayer.

This. Guess I'm just an axhole...but wait, I never hated Slash. Is it possible to like and believe in both of these grown ass men who both make stellar music? I am officially a slaxhole

Weird. He says nothing about the show, the stuff he brings up are general or previous events, and says the show is superexpensive so "pick up a tour shirt for us if...".

[cotis]

Why the fuck is Ron helping move pianos? His neck is already fucked and I would rather have them skip November Rain completely than have him injure himself too bad to play. Let the grunts handle that shit, there is such a thing as being too nice.

He was there and it was caught on something so he just gave it a shove.

[Spirit]

The same old show. Boring!

Did you attend the show?

If not, spare us..

[GnRDuff1]

I sure would like to see 6 or 7 more CD songs on the setlist lolololololololol. I know that won't happen but 1-2 more would be niiiiiiice (prostitute and...shackler's)

[ITW 2012]

I've been to a lot of awesome shows that have gotten bad reviews. In general, the reviewer already hates the band to begin with.

awesome

The US was not toured in 2009/2010 because of its poor reception of CD (it was the end of the CD tour), methinks. But now with the new Greatest Hits tour US is being toured (Axl probably wanted to tour the US but couldn't with CD because of it's poor US sales). With a GH tour it is only natural that less songs from CD is played.

Yes, that makes sense. Still hoping for Civil War though. THAT would be a success!

Axl's voice sounds great on WTTJ!

Chariman Mao and The Hand wouldn't be on stage if this was a Greatest Hits Tour. This is the promoters not wanting to call it a Chinese Democracy Tour, which is horseshit, in my opinion.

Jungle sounded kick ass. I can't wait to hear some more songs from this show.

This Is the best version of jungle that I have heard since the 2011 tour started and the crowd seemed pretty loud and lively. Nice job.

[Guest gunns5]

I wanna hear estranged, where axl apparently tells the band to restart it cause they stuffed the intro?

that would be epic

[uzi your illusion]

That may be as good a Jungle as we have heard since he started touring again.
