Popular Post Tom-Ass Posted August 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) This has to be one of the best Paradise Cities of this tour.. From the great old school intro to Slash's best behind the back solo while literally drooling all over himself at the end.. Axl is on point and in good form as well. Good stuff...

Gnrcane Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I still don't understand why they play this song at 100 MPH. I used the video from the Miami show (which starts before Slash starts) and it was 10 seconds from first note to first drum beat. On the AFD recording, it is 12 seconds. That means they are playing almost 17% faster. The answer is not "Frank sucks" because the intro is Slash only with no drums. For some unknown reason they have decided that they want it to be this fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Axl has had only a handful of passable performance of this song in 6 years However the fact that he didn't sing over Slash's iconic intro riff in Minneapolis makes that one incredible haha but I agree with most above slow it down, Axl sing the damn song decently, and let's end the show right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Korean Democracy Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) The best PC in this tour was Houston last year, Axl somehow rasped the "Won't ya take me hoome" at the beginning. The April chair performances were also very good, half the verses of the song were raspy. Edited August 14, 2017 by North Korean Democracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I found that drooling far more off putting than I should have. Yeah, great performance! Did Axl even blow the whistle at the right time!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Paradise City has been a travesty for a long time. Only God knows why Axl refuses to stop singing over Slash's opening riff. The whole intro ad libbing he does to the first verse of the song sucks unholy balls. STFU and let the man in the top hat play his opening riff damnit!!!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDwolfwood Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Good that he didnt sing during Slash's intro solo. But this version of Paradise City is a dog. Only song I physically cringe everytime Its played. Its just wrong top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 For the record I never said the performance was great.. Just one of the best from the tour and lineup. Someone changed the original title I had.. I just loved that Axl didn't sing over Slash at the beginning and the drooling Slash solo at the end the most.. Axl doesn't sound great but he doesn't sound terrible either. Even good at some parts.. I am sure he knows it too but he still has his swagger and command as a front man... Not perfect but still fun overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Wow seeing Slash like that is intense... he completely left this planet. I'm not saying it's the greatest solo of all time or whatever but he's completely in it. Inspiring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
