It empties towards the bar and toilets I went to two shows during the NITL tour at MetLife Stadium and Madison Square Garden. During both shows, the crowd stayed for November Rain and Sweet Child. In fact, I still remember how surreal it was when the entire crowd at MetLife sang Sweet Child with Axl. I think you are wrong about that.

If you know anything about a live gnr gig... They're up there with the two weakest songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular yes as everyone knows them, good live, no 2017 was outstanding, like 16 was but still had weaker parts and brilliant strong parts, the hight outnumbered the lows definitely Edited July 6, 2020 by dando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds of the classic '90s Doom PC game music. I hope they keep that, and the 8-bit sounding Atlas intro. The vocals are scratch, there's parts where he's not singing words and kinda humming. But I like what he was getting and really hope it gets finished! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd statement to make, I guess you just don't enjoy the songs, and want to justify your opinion somehow (which you don't need to do), enjoy what you enjoy.

They're great tracks by the band... Huge hits but live, poor really.. If it takes a crowd to make the song good that says a lot The better live tracks we're always the opening 5 in 2017, civil war, Coma was ace back then & Patience and the seeker, all brilliant, but ill stand by it...

Simply not true, they are the bands biggest songs and most of the audience are casual fans who are there to see those songs. Who cares if they're weak or whatever, that's not what we're talking about. In fact, I do use Sweet Child as a piss break! Cos the toilets are fucking empty during that song!

Who cares if they're weak or whatever, that's not what we're talking about. Nope, again, please read it.. at the 2017 shows a lot used scom, nov and heavens too for a toilet and beer, those who've seen gnr before know they're usually rubbish live, casuals tended to stick there as that's what they turned up to see. Nobody can deny they are weak live tracks, the rest is usually very good and was in 2017&18. Believe what u like but the shows i attended then, thats what went on. A big hit can be crap live and an unknown to some can be ace Seems you cant understand that find me a great sweet child live from 16 on... Starts good with into and dies a death til the solo again, its 2 or 3 poor live tracks from a minimum 2.5 hour show... Chill out pal Edited July 6, 2020 by dando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiv123 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Okey folks, 60k people in a stadium, every song is a piss brake for some folks, 60k in one place, 1% at least need to take a piss after drinking lots of beer all day.

Setlist is so predictable, and has been for ages now even pre NITL, that you know when you got plenty of time. TBH it made me enjoy my last show (NITL) as I could just enjoy the gig and some drinks and come n' go as I please knowing I wouldn't be missing anything. In saying that, despite enjoying that show, and seeing them at a minimum of a dozen times now - I won't be seeing them again until new music is released, or prices more realistic, or something changes.

Yeah for sure, can't see everyone and it's natural that people will be going in and out but my main point was that I could hear the echo of people singing along with that song for the first time in my life (seen 15 GNR shows), highlighting mainly how big the venue is and how many people there were!

Live, scom and nov, are weak I agree with the songs you listed that you consider good, and I must be one of the few that actually love The Seeker and how the band and in particular, Axl sound on it. In fact, forget all the layered complex bullshit demos and industrial ambitions of the past, I would dearly love to have an album of Axl just doing straight up 70’s & 80’s style rock. He sounds like he was born for it, and watching him live a few times singing it he looks like he really enjoys it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
