allwaystired Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Well that was great. I'll go to bat for that video! The difference between that and the dreadful Download festival one is really really stark. Everything is better- but mostly it's the tightness and the energy that these performances had that is most noticeable. The whole concept is still 'unusual' in the GNR way of course- us being told there would be more NITL Selects videos, then this appearing out of the blue with minimal notice and the strange decision to merge songs from two random different shows....but I enjoyed this massively. I liked the filming- very few shots of the crowd is a good thing, as no one wants a reminder of how chunky, old and 'un rock n'roll' they all look compared to the hungry crowds of the 80s and 90s. So yeah....well filmed, band tight, performance great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think the camera angles on NR were odd - too much time zoomed out but that’s just nitpicking by me....based on the bootleg videos and this official one....Houston 2016 needs released in full officially. No doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleJosh Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Ok so this is weird. I think the audio issue was due to the stream. I downloaded the video and while the stream topped out at 720p for me the dl was 1080p and I just relistened to Out Ta Get Me and there was no level change in the audio at all.

GNRfanJen Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Wow...so I now have Coma and Out Ta Get Me in pro-shot from my first ever Guns N’ Roses show. That was really great. I’m content. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishgunnerII Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I wouldn’t have included new rose but that’s just me and the picture quality was great but for me at least the audio level was low at points but towards the end it was turned up and was superb. It also showed that Melissa is actually singing backup vocals and not just dancing. coma was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. Absolutely. Stick that full Houston show on a DVD/Blu-ray, package it up with audio CDs of the show and it's job done. An easy buy for me.

JimiRose Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Positives - they've actually released them. The sound mix is very good, almost professional sounding. Negatives - Bubble has been burst about Axl sounding good in 2016. sure he sounds better than 17-20, out ta get me he sounds really good actually. but compare this to 2010 or 2006, he's a shadow of then. Acdc he sounded great, but starting to believe we will never get a good live vocal guns n roses show again. Band sounded pretty good though. RIP Axls live vocal, now release some NEW MUSIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towlie Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm so happy we got Coma from Houston. I've been shattered ever since those excellent crowd videos got taken down due to a certain fuckwit. Houston really needs a full release. Hands down the best show since the reunion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Axls live vocal, now release some NEW MUSIC There is footage of Houston 2016 ‘out there’ with pretty much every song available as a bootleg and Rocket Queen etc all sound great - RQ is not quite 2010 but better than 2012....there was definitely a spell in 2016 where he was strong. IMO anyway 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holographic Universe Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 On 7/21/2020 at 1:01 AM, DurhamGirl said: I wondered how Slash felt about Axl's voice, he doesnt listen to it. What I dont understand is Axl himself and how he feels abouut it, surely he must know how bad he can sound or maybe he just doesnt care anymore. I doubt Slash is concerned with Axl’s voice. Slash described the tour as “surreal” and spoke in highly positive way, so I’m sure he is fucking thrilled to be in GNR, his band, playing his songs. Plus, and I’m just speculating, but I think all the band members are happy the legacy of GNR will end with original members representing the music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJosh Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If anyone has listened to Slash's IEM recordings, he doesn't even have Axl in the mix barely. I think Slash cares about his own playing and doesn't worry about much else. I don't think he is one to watch or listen back to shows after the fact either so doubt he knows or cares much about how Axl sounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycgunner Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 That was great. Just wonderful to hear Axl sounding powerful and to see him giving a shit. Makes me not (so much) regret keeping my PIT tickets for next year. Hope COVID gets resolved and we can see a kick ass Guns show again!

parisrocks Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Out ta f'n get me!!! I was out to get me a break after that! No way I could go right into NR after getting my ear blasted by that energy. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Coma and Out ta Get Me were obviously highlights, but I didn't think Slash's solo in TIL was terrible. Certainly not on par with Robin's original, but good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
