sailaway Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Misfiring Guns n' Wilted Roses:By Ben ShalevAfter the Guns N' Roses concert on Tuesday, one woman told her boyfriend: "I'll tell you exactly when it picked up - when you went to get beer." I'm guessing the guy went to fetch drinks between 10:15 P.M. and 10:20 P.M. because until then the show was really terrible, absolutely awful. Around that time it started getting better and was spared at the last minute from becoming a fiasco. For the first hour of the concert, front man Axl Rose looked like a zombie from a third-rate horror movie. He hid behind sunglasses, moved with a combination of heaviness and hysteria, sang terribly and seemed tired and disconnected. His backup musicians, mainly the three guitarists, invested so much effort in trying to look like rockers that they had no strength left to play like rockers. Where was Slash when you needed him? The songs that Guns N' Roses played sounded dull, even for a band well past its prime, and Rose went off stage every 15 minutes to rest his overstrained voice, leaving a musician onstage to muddle through some unimaginative solo performance. The concert was hollow, dull and unnecessary. The only bright spot was the audience, which applauded Rose and his accompanists as if they gave a good performance. Perhaps hardcore Guns N' Rose fans deluded themselves into believing they were at a less disappointing concert. But then, 90 minutes into the show (presumably when the guy went to get beer ), something good happened. First of all, the zombie woke up. He started moving and looking human. It would be hard to argue that his singing became clearer and steadier but, beyond the strained voice, it was apparent that he was at least trying. The band also improved: The accompanists turned out to be capable of playing when they wanted to. There was nothing original or interesting, naturally, but you had to admit the guitars didn't sound bad.When the VIP section is half empty, as was the case at this show, it is also ridiculous.Full aritlce: http://www.haaretz.com/culture/misfiring-guns-n-wilted-roses-rock-icons-save-tel-aviv-show-at-11th-hour.premium-1.448906pure journalistic garbage,people from here that attended had a less obviously biased view.Go join hairclub for men and maybe your mental damage will be minimized,if not you can always hang out with your icon Adler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It's been discussed hundreds of times...Most people believe it's a cover. I think so too. Some believe it's a new song. Highly unlikely, I think.Why is it unlikely? 'Goin' Down' turned out to be a GN'R original, why not 'The Seeker', too? Bumblefoot actually said it was a blues cover.

Projected Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 1 - It has already been posted.2 - there are 3 threads about the tel aviv show open3 - this is the only israeli review that was negative, by a journalist who doesn't like the genre and is known to write reviews opposite to everyone's opinion.

Damn_Smooth Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 So this is written by a moron that only talked to some hypothetical person after the show, yet he still feels qualified to review it? Seems legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I totally missed that! Link? Someone started a thread after Ron said it was an old blues cover and I haven't looked at it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beard is doing the same for Buckethead because Axl thinks that Buckethead is better than Robin Finck and Big Beard is best. Team Brazil knows that all is right with the world.High 5.
