magisme Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks for posting the vids.Unfortunately, I'm giving Axl a I don't see how it will get much better. He doesn't seem to give a shit. I hope I'm wrong.I hope I'm wrong about a lot of things I think about this band right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthGNR Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The review was fair. There was patches of brilliance and then there were a few moments that were awful. Catcher, Better - he lost his voice in parts.The band was tight though. Bumble looked like his mind was elsewhere all night but his solo was faultless. I'm sure as the tour rolls on it will only improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If Axl does a full show with rasp this year, I'll get Chris Pitman's face tattooed on my scrotum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianGNR Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah, he is singing clean, but his voice is not powerless.Even Used to Fuck Her didn't sound awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If nothing else Axl looks pretty good in all the pics so far. Definitely seems to have dropped a few pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glync Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well that was a good concert. Ive been to a few GnR ones over the years, and he sounded the best last night for a long timeThere were definitly moments when it was average>poor, but for the majority of the show it was good.The band were really tight, and the thing i enjoyed seeing was them messing about a bit and having fun..like someone threw a teady bear on stage and Axl ran it down the keys at the end of NR.Somebody wrote "Rons mind being else where..." Na man he was there fully enjoying it. We met him before the show and he was in a great mood and really looking forward to it. He spwent quite a bit of stage time directly in front of us (we were centre on the barrier) and he was def having fun as was every one else.BTW was cool meeting some of you guys!

Euphoric, ears ringing, down because it's over? When you met Ron before the show was that a meet & greet or did he just come out to say hi to the fans? Sorry for all the questions but I'm going next week & wondering what to expect. My first time seeing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can judge and complain all they want, but they didn't see the whole show like we did. The whole band look relaxed and like they were enjoying themselves. Axl and the whole band at one point were teasing DJ about his shoes or something. Ron look like he was in a bit of pain after the bows, but other than that, he seemed fine to me.

saber_ Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 It does not look bad. It looks like a 50 year old. We all age in different ways. He looks fine for someone who is 50 and who is a rockstar. Hell, he looks more healthy than a lot of non-rockstar 50 year olds. Sometimes, you get wrinkles as you age. It happens. He's 50. I don't think it's necessary to incessantly make negative comments about Axl's looks. Just my opinion. We're here to talk about the band and the music, not turn this into cosmopolitan for men gnr edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for all the questions but I'm going next week & wondering what to expect. My first time seeing them.We feel tired lol! ears a re ringing from being on the barrier all night and rose tattoo rocked, i couldnt really get into ZZ top which was a shame as id like to have done.Yes mate, it was at the meet and greet, he was really friendly. I said "sorry to hear about your cat" and he was like "oh man...thanks...thats so cool" signed stuff for us as did DJ.The way ours ran was, taken to the room where the guys were - line p to have photo taken by the photographer and a quick chat, then file thru again to have anything you want signed. With us it was just one thing each could be signed. Then it was a quick rush past merchandise store to be qued for early entry - they let you in first like a good 5 mins before the others to make sure you get a spot on the barrier (if thats what you want) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One.In.A.Million Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I can't believe that both Sorry and Street Of Dreams wasn't played, those 2 are both strong Chinese Democracy songs and 2 of my favourite. I've also just learned that the last time Sorry was played, was in fact during the last show of the European tour in Palma, Spain... and it wasn't played at all during the Vegas residency.

Powerage5 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I personally think it's a combination of a bad angle and wrinkles. At least one member here was on the barrier, so I think we'd have heard" Hey, Axl has a big fuckin' hole in his neck" if that were the case...
