MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 ISTANBUL ROCK CITY! Horniest fans, get GNR once in a decade The only thing I hate there is that EVERY one sings EVERY song screaming. I didn't hear Axl in 2006. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I saw Melbourne, Brisbane and the first Sydney gig. Sydney seemed to be the most into it. But Axl isn’t the showman he once was... I saw foo fighters at the same place (Allianz stadium Sydney) and the crowd was waaaay more into it. having said that, this makes me think that it’s all about the $ and axl is just phoning it in. Not much crowd interaction, where’s as Dave grohl just has a way of getting everyone psyched and into it.

Seeing how the fans were when It's So Easy came on, I initially dreaded the carnage that would no doubt happen during Jungle. Great fucking show. Haven't seen GN'R in Poland, but Polish crowds are fucking nuts. Seen Maiden in Poland three times, and I was on the barrier for two of those. It's honestly scary at times. It's not even that it's always overly enthusiastic, it can just get really rough sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're nuts. Two fella's who were old enough to know better were on the verge of scraping with each other until they were threatened by security. Some of them had no concern for other people's well-being with bombarding forward, as there was a fair amount of young women near me who I'm sure wouldn't have appreciated it. Wild night, one of the best gigs I've been to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild night, one of the best gigs I've been to. The first time I saw Maiden in Poland was in Poznan, with Slayer opening. After Slayer’s set, this like, 7 foot tall guy came up behind me, reached around, and picked me up by my throat, feet off the ground, because he wanted my spot on the barrier apparently. I tried to get security to come over, they didn’t care. So then I started elbowing him in the face to get him to let go of me. Then they came over, and wanted to throw me out for starting a fight 10 hours ago, Guns fam said: Toronto 2016 - first gnr concert Monreal 2017 - best concert I’ve attended Toronro 2017 - free ticket upgrade on my wife’s bday Curious what makes you say MTL was the best you’ve seen.

From what you guys been saying, seems like Poland is a crazy city to watch rock concerts. My friend there even said they have a fake Woodstock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you had the right idea, elbowing those sorts of people causing shenanigans always gets the point across I think it's the only time during the shows I've been to that I've been desperate to hear This I Love, just for the crowd to calm the fuck down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo the Butcher Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I attended to 3 shows for reunion. Washington 2016 Zürich 2017 (home country) London 2017 (first show) all 3 Golden Circle. I couldn’t make it 2018 because I got a father. Best crowd was for sure London. Zurich was nice with all my friends and my pregnant wife and I liked it very much (ok I was totally drunk in the end aswell). And Washington...I like you american guys but... you dont know how to celebrate a resl rock show. Maybe this has also to do with this shitty seating on the floor. But in my opinion the band played the best show in DC. They were on fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever have to because for some reason I'm not able to stand up, I'd be so pissed if people got up So if I get a seat, I stay seated, because I'd feel rude standing up blocking someone else's view. But we have a different culture. Most people would have a standing ticket for a rock show. How can you party like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellyy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think that cultural differences are very interesting, but I am surprised to hear so many saying that American crowds were lame because I thought that they were the ones to be crazy and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant. I'd never get seats for a rock show. Unless I couldn't stand for some reason, and I'd hate it if people in front of me would be standing then. Just get a standing ticket if you want to stand all show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) I saw Leonard Cohen at a seated show in Manchester in 2013 and even the septuagenarians in attendance there managed to stay up and dance a little for about half the 3+ hour show (though there was an intermission) Edited October 7, 2018 by Amir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The equation between rock and standing, sitting being considered something akin to a heinous crime, is a modern invention, something which began with knuckleheaded heavy metal.

I've been to concerts in about 30 different countries, and I honestly think American crowds are the worst of any country I've seen a concert in. Zero energy, they just sit there like fucking zombies most of the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RQRQ Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I've only done UK shows but can say the further south you go the tamer the crowds get. You are likely to see wilder Michael Bublé crowds in Manchester than Guns shows in London. The Scottish crowds always deliver. The Golden $$ circle has dampened the crowd feel.
