Popular Post Asia Posted November 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2016 To paraphrase Slash's own words form back in the old days: It is amazing how much abuse Steven Adler can take with a smile upon his face. He flies the entire world to play on one song and not even be invited to the dinner with his most beloved friends and their stupid wives Or even stand next to them during a bow... But I have to say that even though I was the one not giving a damn wheather Steven would be part of this reunion or not, the guy has earned my respect. Seems he is the only one out of the whole bunch who is doing it for the right reasons and for the right reasons only, not caring about the money, not caring about his ego, just for the passion of music and of being there with them whatever it takes and he seems to be having the most fun and joy out of it. So, regardless of how much mentally deteriorating his drug use proved to be or how reliable he is or whatever, this is a great thing about him that deserves all respect! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl sounded amazing, gave a great show and seemed to put all his heart when singing Coma, it was awesome. Duff was everyfuckingwhere! You could see he was having a blast, jumping and interacting with the crowd a lot. He just rocks! Slash was again the king of the show, it was ridiculous! His playing was brilliant throughout the entire gig but his attitude was even better. Seeing him running around, dancing and jumping was just amazing. During Paradise City, he was singing his chorus ("where the girls are fat and they've got big titties") and even did a boobs gesture. I could totally see how happy and excited he was and that made me happy as well. Slash is a fn' monster! Steven was completely wonderful. Even though they only let him play one song, he brought all his beautiful energy and it was magical. I think what the band did was cruel to him and to us fans as we were making it clear how much we love Steven, screaming for him like there was no tomorrow. At the end of the show, when the band was gonna do the vow, Steven came out with a football/soccer ball and kicked it into the crowd. What can I say? He rocked Out Ta Get Me and he's an incredible human being! Really hope they won't be such dickheads to him tomorrow, it's completely awful and unnecesary and today it was the only thing that prevented the show from being perfect. Overall it was a sick show! I got to see GNR playing Coma and got to see Steven with them. I'm dead tired now (5 am here in Argentina!) and I gotta get some rest 'cause I'm doing it all again tomorrow, but I can't leave without saying this was the best show I've ever seen! I love this band with all my heart, it sucks that tomorrow is the last show for me but at the same time, whether they do 3 shows or 30 here in Argentina, I could never have enough of Guns N' Roses. Good night, guys! Thank you for posting your review. I always enjoy these insights from people who attended. Hope tomorrows show is even better!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Słash Posted November 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2016 I am honestly disappointed how Steven is being treated, just one song? are you kidding me? He came all the way to Argentina for one song? You I know I am happy that Izzy is not there cause honestly he doesn't deserves just playing one song in his own band. Its not about Steven or Izzy, its about all 5 of them cause as a fan, all 5 of them are equally important for me. Wouldn't you be pissed if they let Ashba play all the songs in front of Slash and he just played Out Ta Get Me? I really feel bad for Steven, I know how hard it would be for him cause when Axl and Slash were fighting, he was the one crying for a reunion and now when it happened, he just gets to play one song. Sometimes I think money is more important than friendships for these people, its a show business anyways, sadly the GN'R which I knew which made an amazing album called Appetite for Destruction was not about money, it was just about music. Those 5 guys living in with friends, girlfriends, managers, they din't have a place to stay, they din't have food to eat, but they still stuck with each other in those hard time to write a master piece like AFD. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people like you know WHY he only played one song? Do you know what was discussed? Whose decision it was? No? Then keep quiet.

I think I'll continue to bitch and whine all the time. I agree it's kinda fucked up. Like I don't know why just one tune but anyway, what's wrong with saying it sucks Steven got to play 1 fuckin' tune? He flew over there if I understand correctly. Thousands of people really happy he is there, and he sounds great. 2 songs were not enough, now he played 1. I'm happy about the state of Gn'R currently, at least live. Axl's vocals are weak right now but I think he was never consistent anyway so it will hopefully improve. But the thing with Steven I think, is that Axl decides. If he wants him there for 5 tunes, no one can really do shit about it. It looks like he doesn't even want Steven there for half a song if I'm given the freedom to jump to conclusions. This sucks. This really sucks I want more Steven, not less. I didn't think him playing all of AFD was realistic, but 1 tune? come on now. It ain't right. He's so happy to be there. Let Steven fuckin' play. 3 tunes ain't gonna harm shit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksks12 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 9 hours ago, WhazUp said: I just think it is so easy for us to set ourselves up for disappointment. It would be cool for Steven to play more than 2 (or in this case 1) songs, hell even taking over the duties on drums for most of the tunes he originally played on. But we have to be realistic: it is most likely not going to happen. Never say never, but there is a good chance these tiny appearances are the most of what will be made of it. Like it or not, that is the hard truth and what common sense lays out for us (although never say never) For me I would rather focus on what we ARE getting rather than everything under the sun we can think of that we aren't getting. We have Slash, Axl, and Duff back. Axl is sounding great, the setlist is a great collection of tunes, and the tour is all in all going fairly well. All is good in GNR world right now. The crowd tonight most likely left happy just like every other crowd on every show of the tour so far Axl's sounding great? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxTeller Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Not so long ago we thought Axl and Slash would never be on the same stage. They made it. All these years we NEVER-EVER thought Steven would have even a guest appearence on Axl's side. He made it. Let's appreciate what we have this year. Steven is so happy being there just for 1 song.And I am happy about it. 1 song with Steven is better than a no Steven. Plus, there is a second show in Buenos Aires i think,so he may play again 1 or more. Peace and love to everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIST Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 8 hours ago, Kasanova King said: We don't know the details. It's very possible the promoter had to pay Adler's fee (or take it out of his cut) and only paid him for one song. Or maybe they weren't planning on playing "My Michelle" and that's the only other song they practiced with Adler. We don't know. Unless someone knows specifics, doesn't make a lot of sense to speculate. Yeah dude, don't speculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted November 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2016 Eight Appetite songs were played. The guy who drummed on Appetite is in town, sober, smiling and seemingly on good terms with everybody. The guy who drummed on Appetite plays on one of those songs while a guy who has absolutely no connection with Appetite played on the remaining seven! There is an obvious lack of logic which deserves querying, regardless of whether you consider it ''whining'' or ''bitching'' etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 wow, steven played again? incredible. this is good. it's good to see his involvment continues. is one song enough? that's not the matter. even if he only plays half a song. hell, even if he is only allowed to BE there, at all, it's unbelievable.

giuls Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I find it funny that Axl is being indicated as the only culprit by some of you, while it's clear to me it's not the case, it is kinda bullshit that Steven played only on one song (yeah, we don't know why but one song is pitiful) but the big three are all together in the jerkiness. Other than that, everything sounds very good and the audience was very enthusiastic, always fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
