hpantazo Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 For everyone saying Slash was too quiet, the dude has to be, because of his pacemaker: “When the doctors put the defibrillator in me, it was for maintaining a normal heart rate. For most people this isn’t a problem, but it was for me. “Once I get up onstage my heart rate sky-rockets. When I took the stage with Michael and got into it, I was suddenly hit in the chest by a shock and my vision flooded with electric blue light. “This happened about four times during each song, and I had no idea what was going on. “I thought I had a short-circuit in a guitar cable or a photographer’s flash had popped in my eyes. “Each time it happened I had to stand there and make it look as if everything was normal. I saw it later on TV and you couldn’t tell, so I guess I pulled it off. “It was extremely disconcerting until I figured out what was what.” http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/former-guns-n-roses-guitarist-241200 You can imagine that his heart rate could have easily skyrocketed during last nights show if he was not careful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that too.... Poor Slash though. If He's have no problem with something like that, He maybe will get into it, smiling N' grinning with Axl. Probably He nervous because He is afraid of the shock in His chest again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenityScorp Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Just now, to the moon said: Whoever is producing this GNR reunion tour has a really good handle on what needs to be done. The fact that it is named the "Not In This Lifetime" tour shows they understand. Axl is bringing his A+ game. The higher ups are bringing their A game. When Izzy is ready he will show but even when he's not there the big 3 are enough to drive this baby for a couple of years. Adler will be healed up enough to step in and he will get his glorious day in the sun. The Chi Dem songs will have a fresh start with Slash playing them. They probably will release some new songs which will make us all cream our pants. Documentary about the show last night/reunion will be made. Lastly, old songs/lyrics take on a new meaning. Listening to the band play "Patience" now will be the most spine chilling moment. Fuck yes! Ahhhhhh I really want to listening Chidem with AFD line up!!!!

SmackMaster511 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Didn't Axl blow up on Madison over her calling bullshit on the "no top hats or pictures of Slash" requirement at shows? What happened with all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen8R Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 50 minutes ago, madison said: Yep that would do it. Lol Good find. As for people who claim Axl just brought in Slash and Duff to "replace" band members who had left - and that Slash and Duff wouldn't feel comfy suggesting Axl toss aside the remaining "replacements" - that's ridiculous. Slash and Duff aren't just "replacements" or Axl's "hired hands." These are the guys who created the music that made GNR the biggest band on the planet. This whole tour - which is being booked in stadiums - is being billed as a "reunion" tour. That's right - a REUNION tour where people will see the real GNR reunite for the first time in 23 years. So, I just think that if you're going to promote this as a true reunion - then I don't think it should be done halfway or - excuse the expression - half-assed. Go all the way. All the original members are (miraculously) still alive and ALL wanted to be part of this reunion. There's just no excuse for them not to be there. If you want to add a few of the replacement members to play on some CD songs, fine. But only AFTER the original lineup is in place. Most diehard fans - who have followed the band from day one - would tell you their wet dream is to see a REAL reunion with the original lineup - possibly with Matt and Steven alternating on drums the way they did at the Rock Hall of Fame. Frank? No thanks. I'm hoping last night's show was just a warm-up - and that we will see Izzy, Stevie and perhaps Matt during the tour. Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled - ecstatic - to see Axl, Slash and Duff sharing a stage again. It gave me chills just watching those short clips. But ultimately, I hope it's a full reunion by the time the band pulls into New York this summer. It would be nice to see Steven and Izzy back on stage but I think I disagree on calling the reunion half assed. I'm fine with considering the position of drummer and rythym guitar interchangeable since both were replaced successfully at the height of GNR career and fame, with Axl, Slash and Duff pushing forward and keeping it together for a bunch of massive tours and epic shows and writing much of the bands most important history. Then when you consider the reasons why Izzy and Duff departed in the first place: Izzy never having wanted the fortune and fame in the first place and Adler not being able to manage it - it may be best in the long run to keep it that way. This is arguably the biggest and most significant even in rock of the past several decades and there will surely be a lot of fortune, fame and the itty gritty bits that come along with it. Ive always had mixed feelings about Matt and would be impartial if he joined up or not, same goes for Gilby. In fact I like Richard more than Gilby since he reminds me of Izzy in both presence and sound so if I can't have Mr Straddlin' himself, I say 4tus 4 the win. Dont get get me wrong, to have the complete AFD lineup on stage together would be great, but to do a full scale tour including one man who doesn't really want to be there and another who may be in real danger of death by substance just doesn't seem like the best idea.

I would say it is those that use the word "reunion" who are overplaying it. At least it isn't a reunion in the normal sense of the word where a lineup is reformed. But this is just semantics, and I understand why it is important to many that what we have now is a reunited lineup and not a hybrid lineup of old and new. I get the psychology.

If He's have no problem with something like that, He maybe will get into it, smiling N' grinning with Axl. Probably He nervous because He is afraid of the shock in His chest again there is a (legal) drug, (politicians are using it all the time) it flattens your heart rate. sometimes you can even notice, if you follow debates for example, some of them appear a little bit too calm and slightly in slow motion. perhaps he took that just to make sure. the side effect is that you may appear slightly tranquilized. whatever it is (or not) - did not affect his performances one bit, judging from these short clips he nailed it down to perfection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChineseIRS Posted April 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2016 Posted this in the review thread as well: Okay just got home from work...idk how well written this will be, still cant really find the words to grasp how amazing this night was...to start the vibe was just really positive all around. The security was letting us drink outside the venue waiting for the doors to open. All they said was if the sheriffs come by just get rid of it so we dont get in trouble ha. Inside the venue the place just buzzing, it was electric. I ended up getting front row on Slashs side right in front of the monitor. Doors opened a little after 10pm and the lights when down a little before midnight. No intro (which i totally thought it was gonna be McBob) Slash walked out first and everybody followed, crowd erupted and Duff launched into Its So Easy. And from there the band didnt stop firing. Slash jumped up on the monitor during Easy for the first time and everyone around me lost it. Slash couldnt help but smirk at our reaction. The band was killing it and they knew it. They were all smiles and i just remember Duff looking up one point at Lenny Kravitz with a face like "yeah, we're back motherfucker!" Axl sounded the best he has since 2010. He had the fire in his belly and that look in his eye. Rasp was everywhere to be seen. The song i paid most attention to vocally was YCBM cuz i know thats one he hasnt done good on for the last 5 years and he nailed it. He slayed the "breakin down my back" section! He was in a great mood and was definitely slimmer than he has been and he was not out of breath. Slash was very focused but he was rocking out for sure. To see him rocking out HARD to the chorus of Better was so surreal! It was just mindblowing to see him playing these songs and standing on stage next to Axl, i really couldnt believe it at some points. He was in top form and nailed every solo. At first they didnt interact too much but by the middle of the set Axl was throwing his arm on Slashs shoulder, he leaned up against his back rocking out during some solos and they exchanged a couple laughs between some songs. As the setlist is out there, here is some highlights that stood out. -Axl lost his footing during Brownstone and ended up ripping his jeans in the crotch. During the solo he walked over to the side of the stage and pointed up at Lenny Kravitz and back down at his crotch and said "Penisgate" or somethin to that effect and they both started laughing. -Frank started a long countoff on the hihat and Slash launched into the Chinese Demoracry riff. I was like no way are they fucking playing this right now. It was very raw and punk rock sounding. It was pretty awesome and Slashs spin on the solo was great. -Double Talkin' Jive!! Holy fuck was it awesome to hear that live. The band killed it and Axl sounded mean!!! He did the "i got...lies" part just like he sounded on the record. -before the slide solo in Rocket Queen Slash did an extended talkbox solo, when he finished it Axl had a huge smile on his face and looked at us and said "you missed that, didnt you?" -Godfather Theme was awesome! Before he started it Axl said "Heres a man that needs no introduction, but gets one anyways. Ladies and Gentlemen, Slash." -Seeing Slash play the Sweet Child solo right up front and him and Axl doing that outro right next to each other was just insane. I remember looking back and Jim Carrey had the biggest smile on his face and i remember thinking "all is right in the world." Haha. -Better had a whole new intro. It was this really heavy riff that just kept building and we're in the crowd goin holy shit theyre playing a new song. The riff kept building until it somehow came to a crash with Duff starting "no one ever told me when..." It was epic and strange seeing Slash completely rocking out in the chorus. Again he did a killer solo and did a cool slide part in the last verse. Again Axl slayed the "i never wanted you to be so full of anger" section. -before Michelle Axl and Duff were talking and into the mic Axl goes "im goin by your guys' list tonight. Im follwing your lead" Duff starts laughing and Axl goes "thats very rare for me. I mean you guys know im an agreeable kinda guy. Im like Trump, i consult with myself." Funny moment. -Heavens Door was probably the most special moment of the show. Axl starts the first sing along section and then right when he looked like he was gonna start the 2nd he kinda stopped himself and looked around the stage and said "this is the first time in 23 years us 3 have been on stage together, 1993, July i believe it was" the crowd just erupted. He did another sing along section and after that one he said "we worked very hard with the city to make this show happen, and we worked hard with the sheriffs and that in itself took 24 years" and laughed. It was amazing to see him almost taken back and acknowledging the magnitude of the night. -another cool moment was Nightrain when they kicked into the first verse. It was "Look out" and both Axl and Slash started the foot stomp, gliding across the stage, stoping for a brief second in front of each other, and spinning off. It was bad ass! -During Paradise City the crowd was getting crazy and after the first chorus Axl started yellin to the crowd "you guys gotta step back people in the front are getting crushed.... (crowd didnt really move).....i said you people need to step the fuck back now!" They finally did and Axl signaled the band to keep going and he jumped into the next verse. Reminded me of somethin that would happen back in the day haha. Im probably missing a bunch of stuff and its really hard to convey my emotions throughout the night. But this show will go down as the best show i have ever seen in my life. Just to see the first time Axl and Slash back together and have it be in such an important club to the bands history and to be right up front is just magical. I truly feel so lucky to have witnessed it. Im so looking forward to Vegas next weekend! See you guys there! You will not be dissapointed!!! And for celebrities i saw: Lenny Kravitz, Kate Hudson, Nic Cage, Jim Carrey, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Kushner, John 5, Colin Hanks, Norman Reedus, Sean Kinney, Bubbles, Bradley Cooper, the sports guy in Anchorman. Im sure there was way more, hard to make out everyone in the VIP section. 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
