drtydane Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yup I've been to every ma show since 2002. I was only 15 and live in Maine so my dad took me. Remember it snowed like a bitch that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackvresse Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Unbelievable how good BHead was in this band. Especially on Nightrain. Such a shame that he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eu4ic Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This was a band that was poised to take shit over again. Listen to the crowd. Axl sounded like classic Axl in the sense that he had a hunger, drive, and chip on his shoulder. Buckethead was doing the impossible and filling Slash's shoes. I guess what happened when BH left, so did Axl's best hope at taking shit over again. So he's been touring a while and all but I think he's pulled back and trying to figure out the next thing, which of course is recording a stripped down Rose/Stradlin Beggar's Banquet album.

RJ88 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The best of the '02 shows, maybe tied with MSG.I'm one of the few people that actually liked his 2002 voice, except there were only a few shows where he actually sounded good using it. Boston and MSG were about as good as that type of voice got. Listening to a show like Nampa is painful though.gotta throw in Toronto as well. That was a fantastic show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinaski Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Personally I think MSG was the magic show of 2002.God I forgot some of the peculiar noises that came out of Axl that year. To be honest the asides like 'take it!' sound a bit silly in the 'mickey mouse' voice. Compared to today though Axl does look like he is on fast forward.

auad Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 good gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishoGunsNRoses Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's a good show, but not legendary In the same way the 2011/12 shows will be epic in 10 or 15 years. It's in human nature to glorify the past events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrziggy Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I forgot how good this show was. The guitar playing was insane. I remember being so pumped up for this show. I went to the Hartford show two nights later was not nearly as good. I believe they played MSG and then we all know what happened from there. This lineup sounded pretty tight I thought Brain fit in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hah, look at that, only 2 hours long, I guess we sometimes take for granted that extra hour/half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) I attended the Vancouver Riot and Tacoma show. It's a shame that lineup isn't around today. Edited December 4, 2012 by Randy Lahey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtydane Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 It's a good show, but not legendary In the same way the 2011/12 shows will be epic in 10 or 15 years. I really don't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAxlMorrison Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 i think the Philly Electric Factory gig will be one of those legendary gigs. I didn't attend, but from the hype it gets, it may well be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
