Philly Guns Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) What a show, and they came on early! They rocked it all night. I was surprised how great Madagascar was. There Was A Time is a great song, but for some reason it just doesn't translate well live. Other than that they kicked my ass for 3.5 hours and still feeling it today! I was there rocking my flyers/gnr mash up shirt Edited October 9, 2017 by Philly Guns 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really lucky after all. Seriously.. I was starting to get excited about my show coming up... This has me thinking about trying to sell my tickets but I would end up losing hundreds of dollars..

How long was the line to the pisser for those songs? Thankfully Axl doesn't give two shits what you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fernomenoyde Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Why Axl? Why that RIR then? You can clearly hear he is singing great again... is some kind of self-sabotage? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Im excited to hear Maddy and There Was A Time! I know not all are, and I do feel for people who dont connect with the album. Im jut listening to Madagascar for second time. Hate to be a complainer but Slash's take on the descending chord progression is really distracting me. He makes it chunky by adding stuff and it almost sounds like he's squeezing in an AC/DC b-side riff. Maybe he's just emphasizing a part that was already there, but I dont think so and dont like it regardless. Axl is delivering the goods imo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernomenoyde Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Yeah, i've already heard Maddy like 10 times, Slash sounds alittle annoying but is great to hear it again. I really thought they were going to add another cover (Tom Petty) but it is a nice "surprise". Now, yes, great... but we need, seriously need NEW music. At this point, hearing Axl sing "Just another sunday" with just Melissa adding some shitty synth chords would be something from another dimention!!!

I have almost zero interest in hearing Chinese songs if they aren't going to really change them. Why not get rid of the quotes and completely redo the middle with Slash? That could have used a really cool Slash solo in the middle. Yeah, its not very different. Slash did change his part though. In the main descending chord part. He's playing a start/stop riff rather then the recorded version, during the pre chorus and the quote part. He might just be emphasizing a layer that wasnt prominent on CD's mix, but I think its fair to say its a new part? I find it distracting personally. I completely know what you mean abut the quotes section! I was hoping that it would become a proper Slash solo. That would've changed it up a lot more then Slash's classic rock riffing in the verses imo Edited October 9, 2017 by soon mis spoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Maddy sounded great but I wish they got rid of the prerecord Axl backing tracks. Melissa/Dizzy/Duff can easily take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Madagascar and TWAT are my two favorite CD songs. I'm really glad they keep adding Chinese songs the mix because I love that album to death. Hopefully Street of Dreams is next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I took a few other videos. Here's "I Got You." It was a great show! Loved it. The setlist change-up at the end was a shocker and I pretty much flipped out as soon as Maddy started. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surforia Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I was 7th row on the center of the floor. Great show. Stoked to hear Maddy and TWAT, but to those arguing that they should cut songs from AFD - you just can't take those songs out of the set. People lose their shit when those songs get played, especially with Slash and Duff. Interestingly, there was a guy behind me that screening CD "blows" after they played CD and Better, but he went nuts for Maddy and Twat. He probably thought those were deep UYI cuts or something. Axl sounded great all night - not the best I've ever seen him, but I've been pretty lucky (Hammerstein night 1 plus 3 others from '06, a few 2010 shows, last show of Vegas '14). Slash was epic as usual. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be debated but it sure wasn't happening the during the 15 prior years Axl was touring off that album.

Just stating some of the reasons why some are unhappy... The irony of all of this is Axl enjoys setting arrangements on covers and CD songs with Slash and Duff. He mentioned how it reminds him of the old days when they would jam and come up with stuff not knowing what they were doing. However, the irony is he has no ambition in creating new music with these guys. He enjoys the process but either doesn't trust himself or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
