Original Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 There are no doubts that those are jams.well, they're not jamming. it's the same thing every night. maddy, patience & paradise all have cool little intros added. it's silly to write the intros as separate "jams" on the setlist. the songs have just been extended with new intros.No set list should have an intro , solo, and jams on it. Laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Because he's old & outta shape. That's why all the jams & breaks. Bruce & Jovi never leave the stage for 3 st hours. They are in shape (about half Axl's weight).So Springsteen weighs about 95 pounds? That ain't in shape.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 those complaining about the jams clearly do not go to shows. stop trying to judge a concert by reading about it on the internet.I actually heard people complaining and asking where Axl was during Sunday Bloody Sunday in RiR. I get he's 50 and all but he's kinda overdoing it to a point it'd be better to leave some songs out and have a more to-the-point setlist.

Original Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 No set list should have an intro , solo, and jams on it. Laughable.i never write them when i do live updates from the shows i go to, but then people get made. i think it's very silly to see "jam" written a million times in the encore of every show. the pre-maddy is fucking awesome IMO. i love pre-paradise too. pre-patience is nothing special.Yes- an intro to a song is fine. Ala Sailaway into SCOM and the Maddy infro you speak of. But they shouldnt be on setlist. And what ever happened to an old fashioned audible?

'cause Shackler's pretty hard to sing (the chorus), if Axl can sing Shackler's and even TWAT once, he can definitely give IRS a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxySCFC Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just got in from a full day drinking and watching my favourite GNR show to date. Crowd was amazing, no booing towards the bands obvious late start. First few tracks up to sorry just just had the floor bouncing. Estranged just blew me away tho what a performance. This band is just so tight live it's unbelievable. Only minor criticism is tommy Stinson solo and bumblefoot solo, just did nothing for me.Roll on rest of the tour, anybody who is goin is in for a treat.

Down on the Shore Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 phew back home now n the suns pretty much up. Awesome gig tho, cant believe they played for 3 hours!!someone does need to address the fact that Bumblefoot appears to have gone completely insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Axl's voice was top notch!Some nice guys let me go in front of them cos I'm so short so I was front centre!!! Uploading Civil War and Shacklers. Connection is slow but will post asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetchupNotMayo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Shackler's sounded amazing and was much appreciated addition to the setlist, Axl was on cracking form, absolutely nailed Civil War, Estranged, Sorry etc.I would say they need to tweak/remove some of the jams; Motivation just goes over the entire crowd's head, and towards the end of the set in particular everything is jam-heavy. I get that Axl isn't in the shape he has been in the past and needs more breaks than he did when he was younger, but it's correct to say that they highlight just how late it is and how knackered you are. Removing the pre-Patience and Paradise jams would work better, but I think the pre-Maddy one should stay as it's such a fucking cool intro to the song.

alstonuk Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I said I wanted Shaklers and they played it, probably the highlight of the night. Great show although the vocals were inaudible at the beginning when stood at the front. Went to the back after Better and it was a lot clearer. Axl sounded great, particularly on TIL. Highlights apart from Shacklers were Estranged, Better, Civil War and Nightrain for me. As for the jams well yes there are too many but I just use it as an chance for a breather. Have to say though, Motivation does go over people's heads. As my mate said to me: "it's no Attitude". I think they could drop that as well as Ron's song which doesn't really highlight his talent. All in all a great night, though I think next time they tour here they really need a new album to support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
