We love Axl Rose Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 August 13, 1988 - Clarkston, MI (Night 3) Notes: Before 'Patience,' Axl tells he crowd they will be re-releasing Live Like A Suicide on a new EP, GN'R Lies. The show went very poorly for the band so they ended the set 5 minutes early. Backstage after the show, Axl, Izzy & Duff cause a lot of damage, throwing bottles and kicking walls. August 13, 1991 - Helsinki, Finland (Night 1) Notes: This is the first show in Europe on the UYI tour. Unusual opening performance of 'Mr. Brownstone,' which is usually the second song played. Axl thanks the Finnish crowd for giving them Hanoi Rocks. 'Welcome To The Jungle' is played instrumentally for the most part, apparently something happened to Axl. Then, without Axl, the band plays '14 Years.' After some time off, Axl comes back and the band plays 'Welcome To The Jungle' completely. The opening to 'Paradise City' is a bit different – it starts out with Slash jamming on the opening chords and Axl singing the first 2 lines, just the two of them. *Photos from both nights. August 13, 2010 - Rock 'N Rev Festival, Sturgis, SD Notes: GN'R plays their first regular show in the USA since 2006 in Sturgis, SD. The band is headlining the Rock 'N Rev Festival. August 13, 2017 - Hershey, PA Notes: Melissa gets introduced as "Miss Melissa Reese's Reese". August 13, 2021 - Missoula, MT Notes: The first ever GN'R show in Montana. There is no opening act after Mammoth WVH had to cancel due to a member of their touring personnel testing positive for COVID-19. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We love Axl Rose Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) August 14, 1987 - Halifax, Canada Notes: The first show on the Cult/GN'R tour. August 14, 1991 - Helsinki, Finland (Night 2) Notes: Axl mentions that 'your close friend' Mike Monroe will be playing on 'Bad Obsession' on the album. Before 'Patience' Axl says “I hope you like this because it brings back bad memories as far as we're concerned.” *Photos from both nights. August 14, 2002 - Summer Sonic Festival, Hong Kong, China Notes: GN’R hit the stage around 10 p.m., about 90 minutes after the opening band, for their first-ever concert in China. The lineup was Axl, Dizzy, Chris Pitman, Robin Finck, Buckethead, Brain, Tommy Stinson & newly-added rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus. During Buckethead’s solo, he played parts of the ‘Star Wars Theme’ and ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean.’ Buckethead also did his famous nunchuk dance, during which he threw his nunchuks into the crowd. Before ‘Chinese Democracy,’ Axl explained the title of the album and showed the crowd [on the video screen] the artwork for the new album. The artwork is black and white and features a bicycle, with a wall behind it that someone painted with “Guns N’ Roses!!” The video screen at the start of ‘Paradise City’ depicted the flag of China, then several shots of Hong Kong from a car and a helicopter. During the song, pyros and fireworks were shot off followed by shots of red and yellow confetti, which then fell from the ceiling.

We love Axl Rose Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 August 16, 1988 - Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ Notes: Footage for the 'Paradise City' video was shot at this show. Axl tells the crowd that they will have a new EP coming out, featuring an acoustic version of 'You're Crazy.' While Slash introduces the Blues Jam, Axl yells at security, calling them “assholes.” Radio ads for this show called the bill "Triple Dynamite." August 16, 1991 - Stockholm, Sweden (Night 1) Notes: Axl is sporting a "Tell you children the truth" t-shirt. *Photos from 1st or 2nd night.

We love Axl Rose Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 August 17, 1962 -Gilby Clarke was born ! August 17, 1987 - Montreal, Canada Notes: Rare performance of 'Out Ta Get Me' as the opener on this part of the tour. To introduce 'Anything Goes,' Axl says, “There are no rules in Montreal, so I guess anything goes!” Before 'Paradise City,' Axl mentions how great The Cult have treated them. August 17, 1988 - Columbia, MD August 17, 1991 - Stockholm, Sweden (Night 2) Notes: Axl tells the crowd that being on stage is his escape from life. He also says the fans put a lot of pressure on 6 recovering drug addicts trying to put their lives together. Axl says how he's been spending too much time with Lars Ulrich because he thinks Europeans are always drunk. *Photos from 1st or 2nd night. August 17, 2002 - Summer Sonic Festival, Chiba, Japan Notes: GN'R played for about 2 hours, hitting the stage around 7:40 p.m. and ending around 9:40 p.m. Unusually, the Exorcist intro isn’t played before the show. At the beginning of ‘Welcome To The Jungle,’ Axl screams, “TOKYO!!!” as Robin starts playing. After ‘Live And Let Die,’ Axl, annoyingly says to his sound man, “If you’ve got a compressor or an EQ or a filter or anything on this, take it off.” He then talks to crowd – “Did you have a good day? It’s very nice to see you again. I wanna thank everyone for coming tonight… and, uh, it’s so awesome to be playing with Weezer! It’s fuckin’ cool! If you woulda told me we were gonna do a show or I could ever make that happen based on the way the last fucking 8 years have been, I wouldn’t believe it!” The band then jumps the gun and starts playing ‘Oh My God’ for a few seconds before eventually playing ‘Think About You.’ After ‘Madagascar,’ Axl sarcastically jokes, “I think I need my… my little friend. Can I get a piano? Did you think we… we were ever gonna come back over here? I’m talking to all of you here tonight. Did you think I’d ever get my ass back over here to Japan? I wanted to come back over to Japan. What do ya think of these band… this band? These motherfuckers worked pretty hard, huh? Think so? Don’t know?” To introduce ‘The Blues,’ Axl says, “OK, now Mr. Dizzy Reed and I are gonna trade places here. This is a song that, uh, this is a song that the working title is called ‘The Blues.’” After ‘The Blues,’ Axl again jokes, “Are we gonna do that? Are ‘choo gonna do that? Are ‘choo gonna play that thing over there? Hey answer me, haha! Hey, hey, hey! Cool. Ladies and gentlemen, once again, Mr. Buckethead!” Right after he does what seems like a very funny Eric Cartman [from South Park] impression. During ‘Patience,’ Axl screams, “You got me trapped here!” After the song he explains, “I’d like to run around a little more but I’m a little bit boxed in! Towards the end of ‘Rocket Queen,’ Axl again screams, “You know what I like!” At the end of ‘Nightrain,’ Axl does a roll-call and introduces each member of the band – “Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Buckethead!, Mr. Dizzy Reed, Mr. Brain Mantia, Mr. Chris Pitman, Mr. Robin Finck, now wait Richard Fortus and somewhere there’s a Mr. Tommy Stinson, thank you, good night!” Before ‘Paradise City,’ Axl addresses the crowd, “I’d like to thank you… I’d like to thank you for having us tonight. I apologize for taking so long to get back here. I know 1 word – domo! [which is the equivalent of ‘thanks’ in English]” At the end of ‘Paradise City,’ Axl yells, “Tokyo, I just wanna say, you… know how to rock! Thank you!!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Axl Rose Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) August 18, 1987 - Kitchener, Canada August 18, 2002 - Summer Sonic Festival, Osaka, Japan Notes: During ‘Welcome To The Jungle,’ Axl mistakenly sings, “I wanna hear you scream Tokyo… OSAKA!!!!” Later in the song he laughs, “That was embarrassing!” After ‘Mr. Brownstone,’ Axl says, “I uh, I wanna say that… thank you for coming tonight! Domo. It’s good to be here. I’m embarrassed that I… I got too excited and I said, uh, Tokyo…and I… and then I changed it to Osaka when I realized I was a idiot! Thank you for coming.” Before ‘Think About You,’ Axl again thanks the crowd, “We wanna thank you… and I’m sure the event would wanna thank you… for helping set the, uh, largest attendance record of this venue tonight. Thank you very much.” At the beginning of ‘You Could Be Mine,’ Axl screams, “Kill that fuckin’ guitar!” Axl introduces ‘Rhiad And The Bedouins’ by saying, “This is something that most of you don’t know but… we’ll play it anyway ‘cuz it… we kinda like to have fun this way!” After ‘November Rain,’ Axl asks the crowd, “Let me hear some applause for … Mr., Mr. Brain on the drums here. C’mon you can do better than that! You don’t want to do better than that? OK, we’re gonna go home!” After ‘Nightrain,’ Axl jokes, “Paging… Mr. Dizzy Reed. Please go to the black courtesy piano. Please go to the black courtesy piano!” Axl asks for some ‘Chinese stew’ before ‘Chinese Democracy.’ August 18, 2016 - Los Angeles, CA (Night 1) Edited August 26, 2022 by We love Axl Rose 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
