Lose Your Illusions Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/guns-n-roses-kick-off-2012-tour-with-epic-new-york-club-show-20120211As the crowd inched towards the exit, "My Way" blasted from the P.A. I'm not sure if this was an Axl selection, but it made perfect sense. He's always been a man that has done things his way, regardless of what anyone else thinks. In two months he's getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Regardless of what happens at the ceremony regarding a reunion, it'll certainly all go down precisely his way. That's the only way he's ever operated.

Jax Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It was a really good show, EPIC is stretching. 2 quotes taken from the RS review stuck out to me:"It couldn't be easy being in this band. Every single member must be painfully aware that the vast majority of the audience wish that other people were playing their instruments. That said, they do an incredible job - even if takes three guitarists to do what Slash and Izzy used to do.""Weird as it may seem, some of these guys have been in the band far longer than the original line-up. That makes it pretty hard to call them a glorified cover band." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was as good as any other GnR show. Wait - Axls voice needs two other months to get in shape and from there he might have a great night vocally or not. Sure the other guys made the show worth though - even if it was up for them to choose the setlist we would have a true epic show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBrownstone Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 lol, someone asks why it was epic and gets crucified. If GNR played a nine year olds birthday party this board would demand it be seen as an "epic" show. I'm not saying the Roseland show wasn't amazing, I wish I could've gone, but I ask the same question...did something amazing happen at the show that made it "epic"?

I'm not saying the Roseland show wasn't amazing, I wish I could've gone, but I ask the same question...did something amazing happen at the show that made it "epic"?A 2 hr. 40 min. show played exceptionally well, perhaps? Keep in mind the person that wrote the review was there. You, by your admission, were not. Therefore, you can't say whether or not the show was amazing or epic. The perspective of someone at the show, actually witnessing the performances first hand, as opposed to someone sitting behind their computer judging a show by its setlist or song order, or other things, will never be the same.Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I'm not saying the show wasn't great. I don't really give a shit if Axl gave the best performance of his life or gave a Steamboat Willie show. I'm just laughing at how much someone gets bashed for saying "why was it epic?" It's a little...fascist? haha. "WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY AXL!!"

AppetiteForGnR Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Oh my, this is something else. Usually, people on this forum blast journalists and bloggers for being too critical of Axl and Guns. Now, people criticize someone for giving them too much praise. You can't win...ever.

Now, people criticize someone for giving them too much praise. You can't win...ever.Uhh, yes. You can win.Axl was winning. He put out a great album. Hlthe last tour got great reviews. GnR was building momentum.But doing another leg of a tour that has been going on for a decade, and not releasing new music, is a weird way to run a band.I was simply asking why this was an epic show. I saw GnR in December and they played half an hour longer than they did last night. They didn't play any new or different songs. Asking why it was epic is a legitimate question.

prettytiedup88 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Unbelievable that people are kicking off over a good review. It was a about as pro Axl an interview as you are ever going to get from a music publication and yet not even that is enough.There wasn't a bad word in the article and I actually thought it was a really honest well written article that mirrored a lot of how I felt when I saw them at the 02. Nice to see the new band getting positive recognition, they do deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was simply asking why this was an epic show. I saw GnR in December and they played half an hour longer than they did last night. They didn't play any new or different songs. Asking why it was epic is a legitimate question.You saw them in December, but it's pretty clear reading the first paragraph of the review the journalist was seeing his first GN'R show in a while. That would be the case for the majority of concert goers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
