King_Johnny Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Earlier I was listening to AFD as I worked, and was reminded how I've always thought the lyrics to Anything Goes in the liner notes are incorrect. I don't have the liner notes to hand, but the lyrics online - which I think are based on the liner notes are: Panties round your knees With your ass in debris Doing that grind With a push and a squeeze I've always heard that second line as "ass in the breeze", which rhymes better and to me sounds more like what Axl sings. What do others reckon? It's clearly very important that when I sing along to AG I can be sure I'm getting the words right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly very important that when I sing along to AG I can be sure I'm getting the words right What you quoted is what is it says on the liner notes, but I was the same as you for years in that he was saying debris is a weird way and yes it’s not that much of a stretch to think he’s saying “in the breeze.” I’d say for me it’s more that the words of some songs even 20 years since I first heard them just sound like something else even though I know the official lyrics are the correct ones. For years my friend who’s a big Bob Dylan fan said that GNR changed the lyrics of knocking on heavens door in a few parts. This first came up 18 years ago when we were drinking and listening to the GNR version and he swore blind and did for years there’s a difference. I’ve never bothered to check to be honest.

Dean Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Bumped to highlight just what a tremendous show Philadelphia 2012 from the Up Close and Personal tour was. For me, it's the greatest GN'R show since 2006/07 (excluding NITL, could argue a few 2016 shows). That is a big call, but from start to finish, the band were firing on all cylinders and I think musically during this period, the band were more tight than in 2010. Axl is arguably hit or miss throughout 2011/14, but on that evening, he was at the very top of his game and to my ears, exceeded his efforts throughout 2010. Discuss or don't. God bless Tommy Stinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless Tommy Stinson I didn't go to that show but I did go to Atlantic City a few days before and that was the best show I saw post-2010 up until Toronto 2016. Was a great night, totally worth the trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still mad to think that they streamed a few shows in this period too. The LA and Vegas shows in December 2011, Chicago in 2012, then nothing til the Selects started last year. That's GN'R in a nutshell! I had on the Glasgow show last night and threw it on my iPod. Scary how fast time flies. That was a great night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloors Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Random thought. You call a company Team Brazil but have no Brazilian artists you manage. You manage only one mostly white american rock band.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishgunnerII Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 29 years ago today during the PPV show in Paris Axl had that rant about Warren Beatty on stage. I liked this one though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishgunnerII Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I was out for a walk yesterday and I saw on a bricked up doorway in an old wall in faded black spray paint “guns n roses 30.10.89” which I’ve checked and I can’t find anything of any note that happened on that date. It was definitely 89 and not 87 which if it was 87 was the date of the CBGBs show in New York but it wasn’t so I’m confused as to why someone would write such a specific date on a wall in Ireland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless Tommy Stinson I wish I could have went to that one. I was out of work at the time and had just seen the band the previous year at the BB&T pavilion and just couldn't afford it. Really bummed I missed that show and the one at Wells Fargo a few years back (that one had a great setlist!). Oh well I'll be seeing them for the 7th time this summer and when I went to the no show in 2002 at Wells Fargo if you told me I would see them even once I would have called you a liar lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishgunnerII Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 So with the 30th anniversary of the riot in St. Louis coming up at the start of July, did Axl at the time get an unfair share of the blame, for if not the initial incident, the damage that was caused to the venue ? I mean as Axl admitted at the time(or a few months after at least) that he could have in hindsight dealt with the situation differently on the night, did the fans who wrecked the venue(admittedly a minority of them) get the similar levels of scorn for damaging a new venue ? The TV reports I’ve watched from the time all have the same slant, which is that it was Axls fault. This event is one that slash clearing has zero memory of if you take his version of it in his book versus the actual footage of the show, which bar little to no resemblance to each other. Anyway, I digress. But yeah I think Axl was at fault but I think(granted with the benefit of hindsight) got far too much blame for other people’s inability to control the crowd, and for actions by fans who I’m sure we’re disappointed, but life isn’t all sunshine wins rainbows but that’s not an excuse to wreck a venue. In Dublin in 2010 when Axl walked offstage and the house lights came up, I don’t recall people wrecking the O2 arena. People were pissed off which was understandable, and I include myself in that group, but nobody damaged the arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bands can release music videos and albums during a pandemic and the sky doesn’t fall and the earth continues to carry on as normal. It’s like functioning musicians and bands can’t do these things. Someone should send that alleged management team these links and maybe they’ll stop blaming everything and everyone as to why music hasn’t been released in nearly 13 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
