WOW TWAT too... especially Axl's vocals on Maddy were awesome. Great crowd looked like a sellout the upper decks were full. Tried to scope a bit, I see you guys found me. Wanted to give back a bit since this was my 4th and final show. Did my best! Still soaking it all in, It has been quite the ride. Most likely the last show for me on this tour unless tickets fall from the sky. I am feeling the love for this band tonight!! Watched some of your periscope stream, thank you!! 😆😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy100 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I stayed awake for as long as I could (I'm in the UK), saw up to Coma. Axl sounded good to me, great Jungle. Has anyone posted a setlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take it. Not to mention that four of those covers include Slash's Godfather solo, Live and Let Die, KOHD and Attitude - all staples of GNR setlists since their heyday. A fifth is Wish You Were Here, which is also just a jam spot. No need for complaints here.

onurbayrak03 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Maddy is a great one. It sounded good but I dont think that Axl gave %100. He doesnt sound bad, but not good either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it was piped in but hopefully I'm wrong and Melissa/Dizzy played it live. Too bad Slash basically took a nap during that song. It really could have been elevated with some Slash guitar heroics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jordan Rose Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Holy fucking shit. MADAGASCAR!!! AND TWAT?!!! I'm blown the fuck away. Thank you to whoever recorded those awesome quality videos youtube.com/yupsure I haven't been watching many videos from any shows for a while but having read all of the doom n' gloom about Axl's voice i'm surprised at how fucking great he's doing here. And also all the stuff about the band coasting and being bored. This Axl from Philly is like 2010 Axl in terms of energy, effort and really giving everything. Constantly interacting with the crowd and totally engaged with them and the lyrics he's singing. Making eye contact with the band, tapping Slash and Duff and leaning on them loads. A world away from coasting behind The Disguise in 2011-2014, only taking his hate and glasses off for a couple songs. To be performing like this after the last 18 months of slog is fucking awesome. Jungle is fucking SICK. He is totally 100% in the zone, loving every second, rasping the absolute shit out of it, loving milking the long breakdowns. Better sounds really good. I'm not keen on the clean vocals but he's strong and consistent here and rasps the shit out of the screaming part. Twat was pretty good. He'll probably never sing it like Hammerstein night 1 ever again but he was in control and not struggling. However it pisses me off that he almost always comes in too early/late for the high parts. Slash was just about to go into the solo when Axl threw an extra line in and the band had to pull it back. I'll never understand why he can't just sing it like the record when he does the similar high screams in many other songs. Hearing him repeat "I would do anything...." over and over in mid-range clean voice just ruins the impact of the whole song. It sucks for me, must really suck for those there who've never heard it. Estranged was lush, lower register vocals are stunning and the end is fine clean when it's powerful and controlled like that. Don't Cry sounds as good as he ever has up until the falsetto switch and even that is again, powerful and controlled with no cracks and he throws in the 2010 rasp on the last lines proving that it's a choice. Coma doesn't interest me at all but I watched to see if he's as weak as people have said. He sounds fucking good. People have made it sound like he's doing a Jovi and hanging off the mic stand barely able to sing. He's actually totally engaged in the lyrics and performing the song, not struggling at all, not missing lines and even the last two minutes are fine. Would have been interesting to hear 2010 Axl give it a go but hey. I've rarely listened to Chinese live ever because it does nothing for me but fuck, he brings that snarly, raspy voice from the album in spades. Fair play. Madagascar, holy shit. I never doubted that they'd play it again at some point but it's beyond surreal to hear him sing a song about the old band and breakup WITH Slash and Duff. Goosebumps. Even for a first attempt the band sounds better than a lot of versions since 2002. Having 100% live backing vocals really helps instead of the jarring Axl backing tracks. It's so cool that 18 years after recording it he can still turn on the 'old man' voice and sound so close to the first verse on the record. Poor Jon Bongiovi can't even sing the one tiny bit of rasp he used on the album he released last year! The switch to his clean voice is a bit jarring but there are parts of it where he sounds pleasingly close to the really rich, deep clean vocals on Maddy at Rio '01. And the first high part: powerful, controlled and sustained with no cracks or weakness at all. And that's in the encore! I love how Frank picks the beat up at "For the many times..." There's guitar missing in parts e.g. "never too late" but if they work on it this could be the best version ever. Axl looks really happy at the end, too. To the couple of people on here bitching: fuck you. There were plenty enough people at the show cheering when they heard the first notes. You get your fucking overplayed Appetite songs about drinking and drugs mysognyny and partying every show. I hope they play Madagascar and Twat every show now just to piss you off.

Tom-Ass Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 9 hours ago, ZoSoRose said: Yup Perfect Crime, Slither, You're Crazy, and Think About You were alternates this tour. Chinese Democracy is great, but EVERY new Guns surprise song since last April has been a Chinese song when this tour is all about Duff and Slash returning. Looks a bit bad imo. Still, its better than nothing and at least this show is a little different. @Tom-Ass won't be happy with a 5 CD song set lol Not at all man... I was trying... I came to peace with 3 songs.. I even tried and tried to give the songs a chance and eventually had some appreciation for "Sorry".. 5 CD songs is a joke though.. The album isn't that good.. That is almost as many songs as they play off Appetite.. Every new song they play is a CD song.. The set list is now about 50% covers and CD songs... Not what I dreamed out for the past 23 years waiting for my band to get back together.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the song had potential.. It isn't a bad song but ruined by all the samples and shit.. They should have just omitted all that garbage. It just sounded like a hot mess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
