Popular Post Kaneda Posted June 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2014 Friday night's show may now be my favorite Guns N Roses show of all time. The band was epic that night. So much energy and you could tell Axl was in a really good mood. For the life of me, I don't get why people fuss about how he sounds. He sounded like he was 28. And the sound in the place was really, really good. Perfect size venue for a loud rock show. But why is it my new favorite show of all time? Besides the band sounding epic, something completely random happened before I went in. Me and my brother met these two blonde's and we invited them to the show since we had extra tickets. I asked one girl which song she wanted to here and she said, "I hope the play IRS"...Ok, let's stop for a minute. What girl (A.) even knows Chinese Democracy songs, and (B.) wants to hear IRS. So I'm like this can't be true. Turns out she was the biggest GNR fan and her sister, while not into Chinese D so much, knew every old GNR song word for word. Who you go to a show with can make or break your experience. We can all relate to that. The crowd at most GNR shows now can be kind of lame. Lots of standing around staring at the band and most people at the hard rock were sitting down. Who sits down during a Guns N Roses show? But I'm not one of those people. We were in General Admission, which is always a good time because you can move to the music. So there we are, with two girls who are belting out every song word for word. When this girl started singing Better, I was like, this can't be real. I couldn't even get my ex to listen to old GNR, let alone Better. And what was awesome is we had a great group up people around us that were really into the show. Now when I looked out into the crowd, I saw the same old apathetic looks from so many people. But that's fine, to each their own. But for almost 3 hours we sang, danced, and belted out GNR's greatest hits and it was fucking magical. Part of me senses this could be the last time we Guns play for a Saturday night I brought two brunettes, but they didn't know Better...so not nearly as much fun. A couple pics for you guys...Leaving Las Vegas...no sleep for 3 days, but worth it... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt13 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 All this coming from a guy that, for years, totally trashed Axl and NuGNR. Next to Xozi, nobody trashed GNR more back then (oh, from 99-05 or so). Now he's their biggest fan. What a two-faced tool. So when the old band gets back together, he should technically trash them and pray for the new band to get back together. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) For the life of me, I don't get why people fuss about how he sounds. Oh for fuck's sake. He started sounding good out of nowhere for the past two shows and now people are acting as if he didn't sound horrible in South America earlier this year.We fussed about how he sounded because it was all a fucking train wreck. Now it's starting to get better, not great, not glory-days good, just better. That's it. You heard one of the best shows out of the past 3 years and it's made your memory go to shit.I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, but I'm not going to start pretending that he's been sounding great all this time and that everything is how it should be in the GN'R world.

For what it's worth, I've spoken with Kaneda before, and he's an awesome dude & true fan. Just a genuinely nice dude.Glad you had an awesome time!!!

But there's a reason, generally speaking, magazines like Playboy and Sports Illustrated feature primarily 18-25 year olds. My cut off is 24. But I'm a shallow whore so, meh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockerRoller Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Dude that's awesome I'd give my left nut to find a girl that even liked the song better, let alone know the words to it!

GNR 1991 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's funny how much shit Kaneda gets. Dude was obviously a huge fan when he was criticizing Axl years ago, he made the goddamn Dr Pepper campaign happen!Glad you had a good time. It's good to see some old faces on here.

Guest Gunns Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) If I may I would like to diagnose kaneda over the internet,Kaneda has what we call in the music psychology industry, "post concert honeymoon syndrome" or "PCHS".What is PCHS dr? Can you explain it in laymens terms?Sure Jimmy, the syndrome happens when people are still riding high on the adrenaline, excitement, fatigue and happiness that they are completely blindsighted by how the actual concert was.Everyone likes to think they were at the best concert and Axl was super raspy that night but folks, YouTube videos don't lie, especially In today's day and age where the audio and video capturing facilities have vastly improved even for smartphones.Let kaneda enjoy his blissful happyness, the syndrome doesn't last forever and will eventually wear off once he sees the next guns n roses concert when Axl sings as a 90 year old and Kanada will be swearing that Axl sounds as good as when he was 2 years old.

I woulda proposed right there on the spot hahahaYou'd better hand over that left nut then cos I'm a girl and I like the song Better and I think I know the words, I can sing along anyway even if the words are mixed up.No propositions though, I'm too old & I'm married - just sayin'Looking forward to receiving my gift in the mail, I'll try to sell it on ebay.
