I prefer the hilarity of "campy Axl" fashion a la Use Your Illusion tour vs the mid-2000s Ed Hardy inspired stuff he had been wearing the last few years. Personal preference of course, but Axl's unintentionally ridiculous wardrobe choices are endearing to me. But enough fashion talk, he looked great because he was clearly feeling the music and enjoying himself. That's the most important part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 So thats why Adler canceled his show! Getting a back operation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm still sorting out my feelings about this. I haven't really cared about this band in any real sense for years, and a reunion was the last thing I ever expected (or particularly wanted, for that matter). So for me, it's strange to see those three guys up there playing on the same stage after all this time and all the things they've said towards each other...but the more I see it, the cooler it gets. This is truly one of those absolute fuckin' long shot things that almost never happens, so I'm glad to see where this might go from here. Here's hoping they can hit a studio and knock out some songs once this tour wraps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passenger57 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 All is right with the universe - FINALLY! They sounded amazing. Axl had an energy and enthusiasm I haven't seen in years. Everyone looked and sounded great. Axl is at his best w Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock-it queen Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I've watched that Jungle clip about ten times now! More than anything what's standing out so far is how happy Axl looks, genuinely happy, energised, and I think the best way I can put it is unburdened. Of course not the sheer limitless force he had in his 20's (who would have), but to see anyone exuding the sheer joy of doing what they love , with the weight of those years of negativity lifted , is going to keep me smiling for a while. Happy happy days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Saw highlights on youtube.com. I'm so damn excited for this tour. Love the title " Not in this lifetime" tour. Shows you Axl has a sense of humor. The band sounded and looked great! Loved seeing Slash, Axl, Duff, Richard, Dizzy and Fran. I think this is going to be one hell of a tour. Can't wait!

WhazUp Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) I would pay a shit ton of money to hear this lineup play Sailing, with Axl in his current top form and Slash on lead. Holy shit Edited April 3, 2016 by WhazUp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be so awesome to see. Does anyone have photos of this? The short clips didn't show much interaction between Axl and Slash. Leah's periscope from this afternoon said that Slash hardly moved from his place on the stage and that he said nothing. With respect to Axl, she said that Axl kinda leaned on Slash's shoulder once but that was it. Overall, her impression was that Slash simply seemed 'focused'.

Ant Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) I'm really curious to see how this production is going to be scaled up to stadium proportions. I mean, those are some big fucking venues. Edited April 3, 2016 by Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many variables don't add up. If Steven had been planning to have back surgery, why would he have booked a show at the Whisky in the first place? And if it was a sudden back injury from some accident, then why wouldn't he share this on his facebook or twitter with fans? And why wouldn't they have mentioned this when the show was canceled? When the show was pulled, all they said was "The Steven Adler show is canceled. Stay tuned for a big announcement." Don't you think they would have said - "we regret Mr. Adler will have to cancel his show at the Whisky due to a back injury" or something similar? It's not as if Stevie doesn't like talking and sharing. Heck, the guy normally talks and shares almost too much. lol. So, this "back surgery" excuse doesn't sound right. jmo.

Happy happy days. Agreed. Axl does look happy in that clip. I've always believed the original members brought out the best in each other. They had a certain chemistry back in the day that was magical - and I've never seen it since in other bands. I truly believe that Slash and Duff can once again bring out the best in Axl and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
