Based on the comments people made here I was expecting some train wreck disaster that would be written about all over social media for how bad it was.

LA_0013 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I’m signing out for a while, won’t be posting again until there’s new music to discuss, at a minimum No point hanging around a forum posting negative comments . I saw 4 shows on this tour, including the infamous Abu Dhabi formula 1 show where they finished early. There were highlights and lowlights in each of the shows. More good than bad I must say. But I can’t support a never ending tour on a half assed setlist, draining the fans for all they can. Hope you all get out of it what you want Adios Edited February 3, 2020 by LA_0013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting some vocal disaster based on comments here. That was far from the worst in recent years. It wasn't 1980s level but it wasn't THAT bad. I'd say about average or slightly above for NITL. They definitely knew which song would be used. Everything from Duff seated for the opening bass line to Axl not wearing an offensive shirt indicates that. Also, it was no accident that 99% of the screen time was A, S and D. There was a slight glimpse of Richard. Frank got a few seconds. I don't think you could see Dizzy if you tried and you'd only notice Melissa if you knew to look. I'm sure that was planned with input from the band and/or TB. Frank got several good shots. Would've been nice to see more of Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think she can do a great job...compared to whats going on now. Edited February 3, 2020 by ax1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of liking her or not GNR has always shone a light on the background players, whether it was the horn section, Teddy Zigzag, Tracey and Roberta. No reason why Axl and Melissa can't do a duet, Since I don't have you or something like that could be cool if she wanted to do a song on her own too! End of the day, we've had Nunchuck solos, *horrendous* ballad of death and Mi Amor... She has free reign from where I'm standing Replacing Axl with Melissa though, even as a joke... no, just no! 7 minutes ago, zepsun said: You're Crazy live actually gave be goosebumps...

Original Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Unsolicited review from my neighbor who saw the TV special as I did not.

double talkin jive mfkr Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 41 minutes ago, Creed said: Imagine 'The Beatles' on reunion tour with a different drummer than Ringo and without George. Paul is singing like Mickey Mouse. Their keyboard player is a female asian with blue hair. Their last album 13 years ago was very experimental. It was actually a Paul solo album, since he was the only original member who recorded it back then with a bunch of paid musicians. Their lead guitarist had a KFC bucket on his head and a weird mask on his face. Their merch is expensive and there is absolutely no fan communication and interaction. They are doing almost no media stuff, because Paul said so. And guess what...Ringo and George are still alive and would have liked to join the tour, but since Paul didnt want to spread the loot equally they're sitting pissed at their house taking care of their avocado garden. At least John is doing a solid job with his guitar. For me Paul and John alone aint 'The Beatles'. But what do i know? I'm probably just a salty die-hard. i can't understand what kind of fans would still be buying tickets to this shit they've already done 3-4 extra rounds after the novelty 2016-2017 tour who the fuck is left with any interest to pay money and see em it baffles me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call that over saturation by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree but some of the tweets that were posted on here by casual fans were brutal. And all of those posts were directed at Axl. The band sounded great and Axl wasn't that bad, imo.
