Black Sabbath Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If someone feels like it, you can link me a YouTube video for each recorded song from this show in a PM and I'll start ripping the videos and working on a YouTube sourced DVD.

maynard Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Of course, this is all that’s left of Guns N’ Roses – so if you want to see the band, you accept how diminished it is.Spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodzilla72 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So there is hope after all? What a pleasant surprise this gig wasSounds like it- and it seems like everyone here now knows- and accepts- that they won't hear a new (or 2 to 3) song (other than new-old covers), so there you go.

rudolf1978 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I fuckin' hate this song, but stage presence = better.we need "you could be mine" to confirm if he is turning Axl rose again.... Let's see....Edit: YCBM sucks.Edit 2: Holy shit. We have near disaster of the You...Me! variety during the breakdown, I think, and then he finishes the part strong. Edit 3: Yup, he totally fucks up the lyrics and just mumbles weird shit.Yes,You could be mine sucks,but lets go step by step,first recover Jungle,parts of roquet queen,a more than decent dont cry and an awesome patience and then lets go for the next 15 songs LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's chill the fuck out. There's hope that Axl can sound decent singing songs that we've all heard him sing hundreds of times before.

RandallFlagg Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The big problem is we had a seven year wait between the first tour of CD and the release, we're now in 10+years of the fucking Chinese Democracy tour masquerade which is actually a 80% old material and several covers and solo spots tour, this isn't really congruent to Axl's aim of evolving this band and going thru all that shit. It's basically whoring out the name and getting the benefits of association, which is what he despised Slash for. One great record isn't really viable as progression and now these guys have been together as a very solid and capable unit for years and we have jack fucking shit, the same tour but a lot weaker due to Axl's vocals and the clockwork precision of this same thing.Even if he gets back to anywhere near 2010 vocals, it'll be awesome and the shows will be great but we've seen the damn thing before in its proper place, back during the post-release world tour and he's wasting time and clearly don't intend to release anything nor perform it for a long time, until the crowds dwindle and he can get a few legit buys, which isn't going to be much since it'll just be the hardcore Axl fans waiting for it still. He had everything to make many records and carry the band further but he's spent aeons doing god knows what instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapJon Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The Seeker sounds great!Good attitude throughout the whole song,. niiiice.I hope they notice that there's a lot of "meh-fans" lliking this show and that they work even more on it. Personally I've went from "I will never see this band again" to "Hmm, I just might!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Powerage5 Posted May 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2014 Didn't get around to working on any of my pictures last night, I crashed as soon as I got home. Here's a few for starters, I'll be putting more up tonight after work and over the next few days I was really unimpressed with the light show at this gig, I thought it was quite a bit under par for GN'R. Lots of reds and yellows, not much of anything else. The spotlights weren't lending themselves to a nice, natural skin tone when they were on someone, they gave a very dull, lifeless hue, and I think it shows in my pictures. I'll keep posting them if you guys like them, but I don't think they're among my best GN'R photos. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, nowadays...Axl's vocals are consistently lackluster on it - for whatever reason (his mid-range tends to wear thin). This was my only disappointment of the night. Although, Rocket Queen was incredible...Axl's vocals were spot on. I've also never seen so many beautiful women grind to that song.

Doesn't matter what it's about: music, movies, a political article, anything, you should always know what you write about and have the decency to look up what you don't know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Pitman and Dizzy are looking increasingly similar as they are gonna be morphed into Pizzy Ditman and not share out the meager duties, will be more efficient and add some trickery. Maybe keep an extra arm for the tambourine to drone on at the same time as the synths and keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a good voice there is no hope and no point, and I'd almost given up that he would regain it. Im not saying he was great here, but in the clips I've seen its a pretty good improvement from what we have heard earlier this year. So yeah, there is hope that he could further improve his voice. With a good voice everything gets more exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
