GNRfanMILO Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 2016 is what I’d expect from Gn’R on a regular basis. I’m not asking for Houston levels, but this is pretty standard and reasonable. They are totally capable of getting to this level again, even Axl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 What the fuck? It's been on?! So they put 12pm UK time, I tune in then, assume they meant to put 12am, so I'm sitting here waiting for it to hit midnight.....and it's already happened! Good grief. How hard IS it to put the time?! Ah well. Here goes then...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beto 22 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Twat... Axl sounded as good as he could be in 16!!! But Slash... Why Slash? What's the big deal to learn the song in a proper way? The song sound confusing just because he flies trough the whole song with bad note choices... The same thing with This I Love, Catcher... To play like this it's better let Richard play the leads for the epic Chinese songs This select was goog to stop the "Steven can play the songs better than Frank" These days he simply cant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agustingloger Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Better's breakdown sounds fucking killer!!! Love it! And Slash's takes on Chinese's songs are Okay to me. Different from the record but i don't want him to play it like that so i'm cool with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double talkin jive mfkr Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 hey funnyt guys rest my case - axl sounds 300 times better with a real drummer such as presented on this my michelle clip the other ones are atrociously mickey for my liking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Thought that was great. Enjoyed seeing the Adler bit especially- he really does bash the hell out of those drums! Really good stuff. 2016 was a good period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTJ80 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Good Mix….check Good footage….check Good performances….check Cant ask for much more than that - last couple of Selects have been pretty great IMO. Credit where credit is due….certainly seems like notes have been taken by someone over the criticisms. No coincidence it’s 2016 stuff that’s killer - based on the footage in this they have loads of good video in the can (some of the early videos were dodgy screen feed stuff). Probably being greedy now but some stuff from Dodger or more from Houston would be lovely jubbly. To be honest we are now at the point where we can cobble together a pretty sweet ‘soundtrack’ of the tour with great performances.

sneeks Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 This was enjoyable and a good way to spend 47 minutes of my night. The mix could have been better on Mr Brownstone but the other songs were solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK6 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 TWAT sounded amazing! Best thing they've released since 1991! Axl needs to sit down more. He can have a power wheelchair if he still wants to move around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfisman Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Man, that was good! TWAT was the highlight for sure! Really solid. The first solo was kind of weak, but the outro one was how you'd expect Slash to sound playing that solo. You can tell that he actually learned the original and then did his thing. Axl was on point The kick on Don't Cry sounded distracting, in a bad way. YCBM from Chile was cool. I was there, I liked how they didn't stop the song to ask the fans to take a step back.

ZoSoRose Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Aside from the drums being too loud on the Frank songs, these were pretty damn good! SCOM was unexpectedly great! Didn't remember Slash using a SG on My Michelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldek Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 YCBM sounds awfully weak. Axl's thin vocals do nothing for the song. Used to be a showcase now it's just a lost case. On the other hand, TWAT takes the spot as the best example of how this band could sound like. Rest is cruise speed. Slash does shine here and there.

hollywood_democracy Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Some of Axl's vocals seem to be overdubs or at least from performances - they don't always sync up well (the voice continues after the mouth stops). Take a look at the vocal change 15:40, definitely a copy and paste job, and not a great one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
