Live Like a Suicide Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The venue i will be going to is notorious for poor sound quality, and it seems some people were having similar problems at Wellington yesterday. Just how bad has it been for all of you have attended a prior show, especially those who had to sit in the stands? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I sat in the stands for Dodger Stadium, sound was pretty good. I don't think it's really an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 i sat in the back lower bowl for Nashville and the sound was perfect. They really went all out with the audio for those sitting further back, but in front the stage. It was synched up with the screens, so there was virtually no sound delay. In Dallas i sat further up on Duffs the side of the stage and found it hard to hear Slash in the mix. But as others have mentioned, that show was plagued with audio problems as that venue is huge.

Some concerts I've seen there have had terrible sound so I was concerned. The mix ended up being excellent overall though, so I wouldn't be worried if I were you.

I read an article about the sound at ATT stadium. Bands don't use the in house speakers so there is that reverb at higher sections. I was there too and it was weird.

drtydane Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Sounded pretty good in foxborough, except his voice sounded weird on November rain, sweet child, paradise city etc? Edited February 3, 2017 by drtydane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The shows in San Diego and LA were pretty decent sound wise - although in San Diego I was off to the left side and at times it was hard to hear Axl in some spots Overall sometimes I would say you are just at mercy of the sonic qualities of the venue at hand no matter the sound guy, like at the Staples Center there has not been a single show there where I was happy with the sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't as bad after the stadium started filling up, but during the opener it was almost unbearable to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlingrl03 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I was in the lower middle bowl section at AT&T park and that stadium had great sound. Very loud and clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Cowboys stadium wasn't very good, Axl was hard to hear on some songs. Slash's guitar cut out on Brownstone but not the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I was only in the stands in Vegas (second night), I know it's an arena so it's different but the sound was pretty good. I was up front at the other 2 shows and the sound was still pretty clear. But the sound guys can't really do anything about how a venue is designed, if the venue you're going to has notoriously bad sound, then it's probably just not going to sound as good as other shows. Which show are you going to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Slane is a natural amphitheatre and is renowned for its excellent sound so no worries for me, i heard stadiums in general just have crappier sound than Purpose built arenas.

Mendez Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) In San Diego at the Qualcomm Stadium (an old stadium, don't know if it makes much of a difference), I sat 3 rows up nearest the floor at the bottom left side of the stands and sounded great. Didn't exxperience any sound issues that took away from the experience, although Duff's bass guitar didn't have any clarity to it as a result of the echo created by an open air stadium, so it was basically just a big low end "boom" of notes. At Dodger Stadium, I sat in the middle of the floor so the sound was much more clear. Edit: Actually on second thought, the lack of clarity on the bass may be due the loudness of the concert (the louder something gets, the more indistinguishable it becomes. Which is why many wear earplugs to concerts) Edited February 4, 2017 by Mendez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks when you can't hear the bass Bc their first song is ISE and if that's going to be the opener there needs to be some pop to his bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
