scans n' copies Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 That is pretty awesome! Good job, dude!!
SmackMaster511 Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 A big thanks to all of the fans who helped make this happen…and of course the lax security at the Key Arena. The phrase, “this happens at all Guns N Roses shows! You should know this!” was quite useful when questioned. Gotta love gullible event staff. Really, one person probably couldn’t have pulled it off, but when 12 people have dolphins, it’s a bit more believable. The effort was justified by two moments: 1-When Ron finished his introduction to Estranged, opened his eyes, saw all the dolphins in the crowd. It was a visible WTF moment. He motioned for me to throw him my dolphin, played for a bit with it in his mouth…then made it attack his neck.2-The look on Axl’s face during his moment of realization. He was trying (and failing) to keep a straight face during a rather serious song. DJ was quite amused as well.Thanks to everyone who helped out, especially RickRoses. It was his knowledge of the setlist that allowed everyone to be perfectly timed on this one. And thanks to whoever had the original idea.
revivalband Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Great, great job! SmackMaster511, YOU made history! Thank you.And let’s hope for more videos, I want to see Axl’s and Ron’s faces

Verruckt Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Loaded and some Guns + Picture: That was epic, some of the best footage of Axl from the whole tour in the second half. Great shot of Axl drop-kicking a dolphin at 7:26. Duff coming out at 7:58 is just epic. This was the best version of You Could Be Mine I've ever heard. Axl seemed energized by Duff's being there.
uzi your illusion Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Best version of "You Could Be Mine" that you ever heard? I would venture to say that last year with Duff at the 02 was better, but everyone has an opinion. Duff has the best backing vocals that anyone in Guns has ever had. I would of killed to hear Axl sneak on stage with Loaded to help out with "So Fine" to return the favor. Am I in the minority when I say that Axl looks 1000 times younger without the hat and glasses? You can't even tell who he is when he has his face covered up. When The Metal Show interview aired everyone at my work didn't even know it was him at first, and there all big Guns fans. I'm sure he feels a sense of security behind the glasses and hat , but the bandanna is the look he should stick with.

Even the footage of him in Osaka on youtube without the bandanna makes him look so much younger, wish he'd rid himself of the glasses & hat. Why does he need to feel secure, surely the turnout at the concerts shows him that he is appreciated.

I would love to see it to compare.Am I in the minority when I say that Axl looks 1000 times younger without the hat and glasses? It's almost shocking how young he looks in that footage at the end.
uzi your illusion Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Thats the version I was talking about, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that by hiding his face he ages himself by 10 years.

James Bond Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Great dolphin footage: It is indeed! I love when Bumblefoot motions for them to throw one up and puts it in his mouth. I also love after the first "I see the storm getting closer" part when Axl waves his hand around like crazy and the dolphin guys join in. You can tell it caught the band off guard but they loved it.
Gordon Comstock Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) pretty sure that was my dolphin he had! AWESOMENESS!At 6:30 of that video, Axl points at me Edited December 20, 2011 by RickRoses

Shooting Star Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Great work guys. Really digging the idea. Inflatable dolphins surfing the audience was surprisingly authentic. Dolphins rule!BTW, after watching all these videos I'm really impressed... GNR is on FIRE!!
