Gold top 78 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I would’ve liked it if they changed the set list a bit to go with the festival. They should’ve dropped TIL and shortened KOHD by about 5 mins. They should’ve added OTGM and My Michelle. But overall I thought it looked like a good performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl4yer Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 In 2016 he was larger than now and his voice was a lot better so it's not that. Getting Fit would affect mostly his breathing so it would help him but it wouldn't just recover his voice. He needs vocal couch like in 2016 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't follow VR so don't know what size crowds they were playing to back in the day. They played this exact same festival multiple years I believe, so this is possibly the largest but I bet its close. 2005 2007 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonizedmind Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 29 minutes ago, colonizedmind said: Full show...honestly they could pick anything from first 30 minutes or so, Axl sounded good! After the first bit of Jungle it was a decent version! Perhaps a re-jig of the set list to help Axl not get winded is needed... Also some folks won't like this, but what we need is AXL/DC back...he'll get into shape for Angus, by fire or fury...then a GNR tour to follow like before to take advantage actually first hour is really solid....ya not 2010 but it's a good day Axl 2017 for sure...better in some bits without ever reaching 2016, sadly. Certainly serviceable...just watched to past an hour and it's pretty enjoyable ! Quite a few bumps follow but in the comments section on Download page, the first half seems to have left most of them happy and willing to ignore the quality dips as lots of nice comments. Overall a show like this and turning up on time has just continued to eradicate Axl's former bad rep. So that's cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it deflated the set. Great while they were playing actual songs, and boring while they "jammed". He said Slash was actually one of the down points because of it actually. And we both live Slash, but come on!!! Slash plays way too many solos and it was same when we saw them last year and the year before. One big solo section is more than enough. And Richard can have a small solo in heavens door or whatever. Cut the flab. Just...can't confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I can't believe that band Ghost wasn't on this bill? Maybe the band needed to have some down time after their US tour. it would have been cool to see them in Donnington too. Glad GNR are rocking it like always!

The only solo spot Slash should have is the "Godfather" theme. I consider Double Talkin Jive (which I love) to be a Slash solo as well. 2 are enough in one set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part of the song(Slash's solo) is not captured. I have seen this happen on many Slither videos. What the fuck are people thinking? Maybe they only like Axl.

Free Bird Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 8 hours ago, Creed said: Solid. But the high 'Here comes the water' part sounds annoying to me. Why isn't he using his normal/deep voice? Don't get it. Its easier to sing and sounds better. Dude is addicted to Helium... While i saying this i hope they are going to try some other slash stuff from the past as well like Anastasia, Give in to me, always on the run, etc That high voice in the chorus does it GNRish. That's the least what I expected. It's the same with Slash's CD solos. They're the stars of this band so I'm expecting them not to just cover the original parts but to change them a bit and make them recognizable as GNR.

Plus while he's technically probably at the top of his game, his impro skills have disminished since a few years. He noodles. No feel at all.

I know Slash doesn't like playing the same stuff twice, but he should start playing some of his old stuff again. It has been such a long time that it would be like new. I would love for him to play Double Talkin Jive exactly like he did in Paris '92. He should watch some old videos and play that shit again.

bangit Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 15 hours ago, Axl_morris said: I was there and it's the first time I've noticed he stops and changes his voice rather than just holding back screams. This I love and coma he changes pitch, it works better on coma. He missed a line in YCBM and he threw a line to the crowd for PC. I also think the heavens door screams weren't as epic as it usually is. Patience outro was weak and estranged seemed to be Mickey. I do remember last summer Axl picked up after about 6 shows Positives, Welcome to the Jungle sounded amazing. Shadow and slither seemed to be the best performed yet. He was in a good mood and everyone enjoyed themselves. I also witnessed a proposal and some woman getting naked and shoving a dilso inside her and down her throat....yeah.... Only at a festival. Right... regarding the dildo situation... when i was heading for a piss about mid way through, i walked over a big black dildo and a double ended one. Didnt give it much of a thought at the time lol! Pissed and listenin to GNR etc.. front left side of stage. You rekon these items were in active use?! Amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I thought I had imagined seeing Slash jump off the stage and go to the crowd to give out picks, he did it just as they turned the lights and screens off, so I just thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
