Show thread April 23rd, 2014 - Golden Gods - Los Angeles, CA - Axl receives "Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award"

So they did have worded telepromters for the GG, I read a little bit back saying they didn't. They did I think that is what Bumble was pointing to during This I Love and Axl looked into crowd before realizing.

You sure? Maybe they didn't, someone said Bumble was pointing to the crowd who was singing the song, maybe that's why Axl forgot the lyrics.

I just think he really needed a breather.

Countdown until Black Sabbath makes this his profile pic.

Well I don't think Axl could miss a teleprompter Most likely just needed to breathe, ISE + Jungle + Better + TIL + fucking YCBM is insane.

100 percent sure. Here is why

Now think about where Ron and Axl were at the time and where Ron pointed.

Yeah but I'm saying it's not like Axl can miss that thing, Ron doesn't need to point it out I really think he just needed a sec to catch his breath, best to do it in a less well-known song.

True, but he wasn't looking at it till Ron pointed it out Imo. He may have needed a breather

[Black Sabbath]

I still think he did it on purpose to catch his breath.

And Amir, I already saw that picture a couple days ago and have it cropped and ready for when I decide to change it

[IncitingChaos]

I thought Axl lost his in ear sound thing and it threw him off.

Outstanding investigative journalism as always Mike, I can't wait for the imminent, official announcement of your elevation to the mygnr media crew.

Ron padding/tapping axl in the back and pointing, was to us in the front to show axl that we were singing a long to the song even though he wasn't

You were there not me, it just looked like he was looking way down at front of stage to me is all. Hard to tell with the glasses on of course. Ron was pointing at you guys for sure after watching again, still unsure what Axl was looking at.

[Amir]

Just can't get enough Duff

[highvoltage]

You could see people reading off teleprompters during speeches.

[Nosaj Thing]

This is an awesome picture.

[JVesper]

Sometimes i wonder if you guys are crazy or not...

If Axl didn't sing the second verse during TIL, it was not because he lost his inear monitor, he forgot the words or because he needed to catch his breath... It was just because he couldn't hit the notes due to a broken voice. Every singer would tell you that.

He realized that during the first verse and he was probably just not willing to try it again during the second one. It also explains why he gives so much during the chorus (high register, his broken voice ain't a problem anymore + he wants to compensate) and why he sings the ending part with that sweet voice to make sure he doesnt miss any notes.

That simple.

Ok sorry, sorry. That was my last post in this thread about, "look at me! I was there!" It's just still really exciting haha.

He looks damn weird with that white goth face lol

[Schwarzgold]

A lighting that turns your face into a bright white area and thereby erases all wrinkles has this effect.

Baddass picture though, no doubt.

[rock4eva]

If the guitar tech got his marching orders for not tuning the guitar properly (or whatever he did wrong) then shouldn't Axl get his marching orders for getting words to songs wrong & missing verses? Fairs fair.

[RandallFlagg]

He looks about 20 with all the creases erased lol.

It was good they represented Chinese but the song order was fucking nuts with Axl struggling for breath even with jam breaks and considerate song orders.

Looks like the people at the show had a good time:

And lastly, Guns ‘N Roses took the stage as the headlining live act of this event, playing a surprisingly long set which lasted for about 75 minutes and spawned 11 songs, certainly not the norm for these Golden Gods shows wherein no band has ever played more than 3 or 4 songs. There was a 15-minute lull before they appeared at 10:45 PM, and the same old rumblings of Axl Rose’s lateness started circulating amongst people in my vicinity, some even speculating whether Axl was going to play the show at all. But the band came out and delivered more than what anyone would have expected, featuring the return of bassist Duff McKagan not only to boost the rhythm section and backing vocals but also to give the band a more ‘legit’ collective persona specially in the eyes of those who’re fixated on the classic lineup. Granted, Axl Rose started out sounding uneasy on the vocals but from the fourth song onwards, he upped his level, and slower songs like ‘Better’ and ‘This I Love’ allowed him more breathing room which in turn resulted in him giving his 100 per cent on the last few songs of the set, including the beautiful ‘November Rain’ and culminating in a great rendition of ‘Paradise City’. Guitarists Bumblefoot, DJ Ashba and Richard Fortus were excellent as always, playing the songs with absolute perfection, and besides the GNR songs they played a couple of delightful little jams as well, including Bumblefoot’s intro teaser of Zeppelin’s ‘Babe I’m Gonna Leave You. Together, all eight members of the band combined to deliver an excellent Guns ‘N Roses set, which in the honest words of my photographer/friend Matt Nielson, was a lot better than when he saw the band back in ’92. That in itself speaks a lot for the current lineup, and I would urge people who hate Guns ‘N Roses without giving them a semblance of a chance to go check out a live show (not a live stream, an actual show) and decide for yourself. My only complaint from this set would be the excessively long version of ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’, which if shortened down would perhaps serve the band and their audience a lot better. Other than that, this GNR set was an apt end to an event that began on a fantastic note and had a lot of filler in between.

What. The. Fuck.

I mean. I don't even....

What the fuck....
