DizzyReed63 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I find it pretty hilarious that mainstream media and local reviews of this tour are trying so very, very hard to find things to make fun of or put down.Here is a compilation of the re-dick things I've seen "journalists" use to fuel their "negative" feedback:* Show is 3 hours - it's just too much rock and I'm tired! * Too many new songs! In other words, "I've never listened to Chinese - play the songs I know from 1987 please!?"* Axl runs off stage too many times. * Axl switches hats and shirts too much. * They do a couple cover songs!* The arena is not completely sold out!* They went on an hour after the opener! Why not 45 min?!* The guitarists are almost too skilled.* Axl is the only original member! (zzzzzz)* The album took so long to come out!And people wonder why Axl never speaks to the US press...

Use Your Delusion 1 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 * Show is 3 hours - it's just too much rock and I'm tired! I laugh when they say this, what do they want, a 1:30 hour show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Agree with the OP. They want to hate this band soooo bad. Cept' after you see the show, you gotta reach pretty fuckin' hard to find fault with literally anything. Some of the reviews, mostly the Rolling Stone NJ review, have made me chuckle.In short, they tear it the hell up live. I'm looking forward to the next GNR album more than ever now.

James Bond Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I love when they try to criticize Axl changing his clothes many times throughout the show. They obviously missed the entire Use Your Illusion tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Devil Hill Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yes, it's all a conspiracy. No conspiracy. The media tells stories slanted in a way to sell their product. That's life. Axl criticisms sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't see the anti-Guns slant that you people are seeing. I have seen plenty of favorable to very good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl criticisms sell.I'm sorry, but to me, a lot of their criticism is warranted. I realize sometimes they blow things out of proportion, but most of the time they just call it like they see it, and people on here overreact to it.I tend to disagree. Whenever I see a story on the news, I don't feel I can trust it until I see both sides getting discussed. Nine times out of ten, the media has told the story slanted, in my experience. Same with reviews. I've seen a review on a Carrie Underwood concert saying she "sang too much" and "her notes were too high." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 You have to remember that a lot of these newspaper reviewers aren't even fans of the bands that they are reviewing. Just imagine what you would write if you had to review something you hated, like Justin Bieber or some other idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always complaining, never happy. Nothing Axl does will ever be good enough in their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
