W. Adam S Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Just watching the LA show from a few weeks ago. WTF is wrong with the US crowd?? Have you American boys and girls have forgotten how to party! They put on an amazing show, and the crowd just stands still for the whole show!! WTF?

drtydane Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Weenies. Gotta remember alot of gnr fans are older now. But at the shows I went to, it seemed like the people who bought floor tickets rocked out pretty heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 In Seattle there was a group of us out front rockin' out, but for the most part, the crowd was into the music without having to jump around and whatnot for the entire show, they were there to see an awesome rock show. Vancouver, however, a lot of people were up front just to push and shove while sort of ignoring the show.I was actually surprised that everybody on the floor, and pretty well most of the arena (I could see the side seats, not the back) was into the Chinese stuff. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Adam S Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) It just seems so dead! The band has such a confidence about it now, it's amazing! They are even starting to make certain songs their own. Awesome. But, there are people standing 10 feet from Axl just nodding thheir heads??!!! Edited January 15, 2012 by W.

31illusions Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I don't jump up and down like that not even for Axl. It's usually is an older crowd at these shows anyway. I like to watch and relax. I don't want to miss anything. Just cause you aren't acting like a idiot doesn't mean you're not enjoying the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 So a bunch of sweaty shirtless guys with BO is what makes for a great GNR show? When's Axl last had his shirt off, 1993? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Adam S Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Who said anything about Axl taking his shirt off?I think It's true, rock n roll is dead in the US! Edited January 15, 2012 by W. Adam S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiedHands Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I go to rock shows all the time, and yes, American crowds are lame. It's sad but the only passionate crowds are the ones that show up for lame-o metal bands like Avenged Sevenfold. I cannot understand how you can go to a show and just stand there. Even if it's a band I don't know, I at least move to the music, bob my head, something. There was a bunch of us in the front row at GNR who were going crazy but some geeky ass kid right behind me, who was there more for BLS, he didn't so much as even clap or dance or anything. It's pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatsHerface Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I was in the crowd (LA) on the floor and danced, jumped, sang, and had a blast - but yeah, the crowd for the most part was lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Drama Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I live in America, went to two shows this tour. I rocked out so hard to just about every song, jumping up and down, going crazy... too bad I was one of the only ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bran Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 yeah the us has lost its balls in some sense but i agree not everyone goes to a concert to run around throw fists and headbang. gnr was never that for me i was always listening to the lyrics and all that i never felt the need to rage durning a gnr song(well minus WTTJ or some stuff on AFD) when i put in slayer or demolitiion hammer i felt the need to headbang and stuff like that.

sweetness Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well, I'm an American fan and I didn't even make it to the show in Detroit. Couldn't justify the ticket price. Guess we suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocBrown Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It's weird, the crowd does seem lame on video. It was awesome in the pit at the Forum though for sure. Lots of real fans. We were all getting pretty crazy down there. The vegas crowds were MUCH worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBrownstone Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 So you're the kind of guy who sees someone run a red light in austin, texas, then you go to your friends and say "man, people in austin texas drive like idiots!" I can't stand people like that.Not all black people are thugs. Not all Mormons have 6 wives. Not all rock concert crowds in the U.S. are the same as the crowd you saw. Idiot.
