We love Axl Rose Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 December 29, 2001 - The Joint, Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV (Night 1) Notes: A very odd and entertaining show. Unlike the new band’s first show together [1.1.01], GN’R hit the stage early - around 10:52 p.m. and play ‘till about 1 a.m. Axl began the show wearing a #12 Oakland Raiders Rich Gannon jersey. During ‘Welcome To The Jungle,’ Axl gives the finger to some people in the crowd. There were many sound problems early on in the show, with Axl often leaving the stage while the band continued to play. Tommy sang almost all of ‘Oh My God.’ Robin also threw his guitar down during ‘Oh My God,’ obviously enraged by the problems. Axl’s odd presence continued on for the rest of the night, probably since he wasn’t comfortable with his sound-piece. Later on in the show he would yell at his sound guy. Buckethead’s first guitar solo is played pretty much to cover up for the sound difficulties. He played parts of the ‘Star Wars Theme’ and the ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean Theme.’ After ‘Rocket Queen,’ Axl told the crowd about the band’s current status. He talked about how these shows in Vegas were the first ones he wanted to play since the UYI tour. He nonchalantly criticized Doug Goldstein for booking the European 2001 tour without his knowledge, leading Axl to find out about it through the internet! He went on to promise that the band would eventually deliver on the album. All the songs were played straight-through – there was no encore break. The most astonishing thing is that Axl worked through the night’s problems and didn’t let the crowd down by ending the show early. Setlist: Welcome To The Jungle, It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Guitar Solo [Buckethead], Oh My God, Think About You, You Could Be Mine, Sweet Child O' Mine, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Out Ta Get Me, Madagascar, Rocket Queen, November Rain, Chinese Democracy, The Blues, Acoustic Guitar Solo [Buckethead], Patience, Silkworms, My Michelle, Paradise City. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Axl Rose Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) December 31, 1984 - San Pedro, CA Notes: Supposedly Hollywood Rose broke up after this show. December 31, 1987 - The Glamour, Los Angeles, CA Notes: Cool New Year's Eve show with another great young band - Jane's Addiction. December 31, 1987 - The Central, Hollywood, CA Notes: After GN'R's appearance at the Glamour in LA, Axl heads down to Riki Rachtman's New Year's party at the Central in Hollywood. He leads the crowd in a chant of 'Honky Tonk Women.' Axl had wanted to perform a few more songs but the soundman turned the equipment off at 2 a.m. December 31, 1991 - Joe Robbie Stadium, Miami, FL Notes: Cool New Year's Eve show! This is GN'R's first stadium show as headliners in the US. Axl talks about New Year's resolutions. Slash dedicates 'Rocket Queen' as a Happy New Year song to all of Miami. 'Paradise City' is played through the New Year, as Axl leads a '5-4-3-2-1' chant towards the end of the song! *These photos were taken during soundcheck except for the last one. December 31, 2001 - The Joint, Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV (Night 2) Notes: Another New Year’s gig in Vegas – GN’R hit the stage around 11:05 p.m. and plays ‘till about 1:15 a.m. The band is in a much more relaxed mood, most likely due to the lack of sound difficulties. Early in the show Axl wore a #44 Florida St. Seminoles football jersey. This show definitely had a harder edge to it – the band wanted to prove that the 12.29 show was a fluke. Everyone was on fire – Axl hitting all his vocals and both lead guitarists shredding every note! One of the night’s highlights was a flawless performance of ‘Oh My God’ – something that hadn’t been pulled off in the band’s previous three gigs. Often during the show Axl would run off to the side of the stage when he wasn’t singing – he was really enjoying watching the band nail every song! At 11:54 p.m. – 6 minutes before the new year – Earl [Axl’s bodyguard] notified Axl that it was close to midnight – the band then launched into an amazing version of ‘Madagascar.’ The song finished exactly at midnight at which point the stage screens showed the Vegas strip live. Confetti was then shot off into the crowd for a few minutes and Axl started to play piano, which eventually led into ‘November Rain.’ During Buckethead’s guitar solo, he played parts of the ‘Star Wars Theme,’ a little of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ and also a little of Van Halen’s ‘Eruption.’ After the solo, Axl came onstage and joked, “I think Darth is in the house tonight!” After ‘My Michelle,’ Axl thanked the crowd for coming. Again he mentioned that these Vegas shows were the first gigs he wanted to play in a very long time. At this point a fan in the crowd – you know who you are Mark Roulley – threw a handmade towel onto the stage that said “Celebrity Deathmatch was fixed!” Axl got a huge laugh out of this, as did Tommy. At the end of ‘Paradise City,’ Axl screamed, “TWO-THOUSAND-FUCKIN’-TWO! LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, GOOD… FUCKIN’… NIGHT!!!” Setlist: Welcome To The Jungle, It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Oh My God, Think About You, You Could Be Mine, Sweet Child O' Mine, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Madagascar, November Rain, Out Ta Get Me, Guitar Solo [Buckethead], Rocket Queen, Chinese Democracy, Acoustic Guitar Solo [Buckethead], Patience, The Blues, Silkworms, My Michelle, Nightrain Encore: Paradise City *MORE PHOTOS: (http://www.gnrontour.com/sets2001/20011231photos.html) December 31, 2011 - The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV (Night 2) Notes: New Year's show in Las Vegas. Knockin' On Heaven's Door is dedicated to Tommy's tech and his mom who passed away today. Axl thanks the fans for making this tour a success.

We love Axl Rose Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) January 1, 2001 - House Of Blues, Las Vegas, NV Notes: Playing his first GN'R show in 7 1/2 years, Axl Rose does not disappoint the sold out crowd of 1800. At 3:32 a.m., a short animation intro is shown on the video screen behind the stage. An animated Axl introduces himself as ‘Uncle Axl’ and the clip is almost a mock of all the press about him in recent years. Robin Finck comes out on stage first and starts strumming the opening chords to 'Welcome To The Jungle' very slowly. The band breaks into the song and so does the athletically-clad Axl. Sporting silver sunglasses, Adidas jogging pants and a Chinese dragon shirt, this older and wiser Axl is better than ever. His vocals are crisp and he still can control a crowd with passion. During songs he is running to the side of the stage to watch the band perform. The band, consisting of Dizzy Reed on keyboards, Paul Tobias on guitar, Tommy Stinson on bass, Robin Finck on guitar, Buckethead on guitar, Bryan 'Brain' Mantia on drums and Chris Pittman on keyboards, prove their validity as a unit throughout each song. They were tight and menacing to the ears of all in attendance. The highlight of the show was a ‘Welcome Back’ chant that started while the band was getting ready to play ‘Patience.’ A smiling and almost-about-to-cry Axl told the crowd that he was “embarrassed.” Consisting of mostly Appetite For Destruction tracks, the set was blistering. ‘Think About You’ was played, which hasn’t been documented as being played since 1986! The new tracks, played for the first time, were full of new sounds that were ready for public consumption. ‘Oh My God’ was reworked and has a new, hard edge that makes you cringe. 'Chinese Democracy' was written by Axl after he saw the movie Kundun, he told the crowd. 'The Blues' has a piano intro that after 10 seconds is injected with heavy guitars. ‘Silkworms’, was heavily infused by keyboards and pure rock guitars. When he introduced the band, Axl went out of his way to thank Paul for helping him live through the past 8 years. After 'Chinese Democracy,' with Brain playing a short drum solo, Buckethead struts the stage and starts playing nunchuks and throws them into the crowd. He then throws out chocolate roses from a KFC bucket to crowd members (one of which was stolen from me by Mark Roulley!!). Towards the end of the set, Buckethead plays a short, country-western style jam by himself, with Axl dancing and laughing at the side of the stage. After ‘Paradise City,’ Axl thanks the crowd and wishes everyone a happy new year. At 5:36 a.m., after 2 hours and 4 minutes of pure rock & roll and chaos, the show is over, leaving the 1800 concert-goers with their jaws-dropped and craving for more. The band soundchecked at the House of Blues at 6 a.m. on Dec. 31. Edited January 1, 2023 by We love Axl Rose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Teman on drums. This was a surprise gig to fight a lawsuit against Ruben at the Hollywood magazine Rock City News. It is unknown how many songs the band played. Setlist: Used To Love Her, Patience,... January 10, 1992 - Houston, TX (Night 2) Axl Rose [Onstage at The Summit, Houston, TX, USA, January 10, 1992]: Last night we had some protesters here at the show. (?) I got to watch the news, and there was some fucking idiots (?) I mean, I don’t care if you’re bi, tri, quad or anybody the fuck you are. (?) So, Queer Nation is upset. Queer Nation has every fucking right to be upset because of the kind of assholes I was talking about. If you see the “Don’t Cry” video, at the end of it says, “Thanks Joseph.” Joseph is a deejay in L.A., who is gay, and he’s, like, the coolest rock deejay. (?) He played a lot of punk rock shit for a really long time. He got into Guns N’ Roses and turned our tape on to the record company. He got people play us in their favorite videos on MTV. (?) It’s like, I don’t give a flying fuck what you are. (?) But what I’m curious about, is why a TV station in Houston is basically giving these people air time to say their views and supporting that, over supporting rock ‘n’ roll and the 20,000 people that are here to have a good time. Don’t you find it strange that, like, the news would be giving time to organizations that send bomb threats to companies, that send death threats...? You know, basically, they don’t give a fuck. The news, the media, (?). What kind of crock of shit is that? Photos from January 9th: Edited January 10, 2023 by We love Axl Rose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We love Axl Rose Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 January 12, 1993 - Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan (Night 1) Notes: Not a lot of talk between songs during this show, as it is a Japanese crowd.

We love Axl Rose Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 January 14, 1988 - Coconut Teaszer, Hollywood, CA Notes: This band is known as the Drunk Fux - Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, West Arkeen & Del James. The first performance of 'Yesterdays,' Axl mentions they will try to record it next week. Axl sings lead on 'Yesterdays' & 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' and shares vocals on 'Honky Tonk Women.' January 14, 1992 - Dayton, OH (Night 2) Notes: Axl slices his hand open on a sharp part of his microphone stand during 'It's So Easy.' Slash talks to the crowd while Axl is getting medical attention. Slash & Gilby then jam on guitar and then the band plays 'So Fine.' When Axl returns, he misinterprets what Slash had told the crowd and calls Slash a "punk motherfucker!" To which Slash replies "I'll kick your fucking ass!" The band then breaks into 'Welcome To The Jungle' before tempers flare even further. Before 'Double Talkin' Jive,' Axl tells of a false story in the press that said he fired Doug Goldstein (GN'R's manager). Before 'Sweet Child O' Mine,' Axl apologizes to the crowd, saying they're gonna cut the set short a few songs so he can get stitches on his hand. January 14, 1993 - Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan (Night 2) Notes: Axl dedicates 'Yesterdays' to his brother Stuart. Before 'Wild Horses,' Axl tells Gilby that Ronnie Wood is in town. *Photos are probably from all 3 nights. January 14, 2001 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Notes: GN'R rocks Rio once again, hitting the stage at 1:40 a.m. in the wee hours of Jan. 15th. The show is preceded by an animation intro, the same as the Las Vegas, NV [01.01.01] animation intro. During 'It's So Easy,' Axl has a fan kicked out who apparently had been wearing a GN'R=Slash t-shirt and had been taunting Axl. After 'Mr. Brownstone,' Axl speaks through a translator to say that many of the fans are disappointed that past band members are not currently in the band. He says the ex-band members did everything they could so that Axl couldn't be there today, to which Axl says "Fuck that!" He tells the crowd that he is hurt and that unlike Oasis, Axl and his former members couldn't find a way to get along. He then introduces the band and gives a special speech about Paul Tobias, saying that without Paul, there would be no more Guns N' Roses. After 'Think About You,' Axl introduces Brain to lead into 'You Could Be Mine.' After 'You Could Be Mine,' Axl introduces Robin so Robin can speak some Portugese to the audience and play a guitar solo. Before 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' Axl mentions that this is a new band and it was time to do a version of the song that was more closer to the original. Unlike the Vegas show, the ending of 'Knockin On Heaven's Door' is extended so the crowd can participate. Axl dedicates 'Madagascar,' a song on which he played guitar, to the love that the Brazilian fans have shown the band. After 'Madagascar,' Axl introduces Buckethead so he can play an instrumental for the crowd, in which he jams on his song 'Big Sur Moon' from his Colma album. Axl introduces Paul during 'Rocket Queen' to play the solo. After 'Rocket Queen,' Axl says that they have only done 1 show before this and that they have already been criticized for doing the "old songs." He goes on to say that one of the reasons they play the old songs is for everyone to see that "This new band can play the fuck out of these songs." He then introduces the band, starting with Buckethead. After 'Chinese Democracy,' Buckethead plays a country-western style jam, which leads into a short instrumental jam. Axl introduces 'Patience' by saying "You might know this song!" After 'Patience,' Axl tells the crowd he used to surf the internet, but to him it seems to be a big garbage can. So he doesn't read the garbage that is written anymore, and he goes on to mention a few names of Argentinian fans that post stuff!! Before 'Silkworms,' Axl tells the crowd that it was written by Dizzy Reed & Chris Pittman. Prior to 'Paradise City,' a Brazilian "Samba School" [Escola de Samba] comes on stage to play for a few minutes. After 'Paradise City,' Axl tells the crowd he has been taken care of by a Brazilian family, specifically Beta, his assistant, and her 3 children. He says that she has been a mother & manager to him, and that she has helped everyone in the band. Beta also was the translator for the night. Axl then tells the crowd the band will "Be back next summer with a whole bunch of new songs!" The band soundchecked on the 14th between 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Setlist: Welcome To The Jungle, It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Oh My God, Think About You, You Could Be Mine, Sossego [Robin solo], Sweet Child O' Mine, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Madagascar, Guitar Solo [Buckethead], November Rain, Out Ta Get Me, Rocket Queen, Chinese Democracy, Chicken Binge [Buckethead], Instrumental Jam, The Blues, Patience, Nightrain Encore: Instrumental Jam, My Michelle, Silkworms, Paradise City *More photos: http://www.gnrontour.com/sets2001/20010115photos.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We love Axl Rose Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 January 15, 1993 - Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan (Night 3) Notes: Before 'Live And Let Die,' Axl says, "Live and let stir fry!" After 'Nightrain,' Axl jokes, "This is a song written by Mr. McKagan that he would like to play right now. Are you sure you wanna get mellow on me? This is called 'So Fine.'" To introduce 'Double Talkin' Jive,' Axl says, "This is a nice and friendly little song called Double Talkin' Jive Motherfucker!" During 'Wild Horses,' one of the lines - 'Wild horses couldn't drag me away' is changed to - 'Wild horses couldn't suck my dick!' Axl introduces Matt as "Mr. Condom, what condom? Matt Sorum!" Special guest performance by Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones, he is introduced by Axl at the start of 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door.' *Photos are probably from all 3 nights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 17, 2010 - Edmonton, Canada Notes: During Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Axl uses his microphone stand as a steering wheel. Axl accidentally hits Bumblefoot's acoustic guitar during Patience and they both have a laugh about it. Dizzy wears an Edmonton Oilers jersey. Very fitting. This is after all where the Oilers won all those Stanley Cups. Chris wears an Ace Frehley mask at the end of the show. Girls bring out tequila at the end.

Slash tells the crowd to buy the t-shirts they made. Edited January 18, 2023 by We love Axl Rose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We love Axl Rose Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) January 19, 2010 - Saskatoon, Canada Notes: Before You Could Be Mine, Axl asks "How you doing tonight?" to which Tommy replies "I'm doing fucking great!" Axl also says his alter ego Pablo does the shows, before commenting that the relationship in the band is strong and is built on faith and trust: "They got no faith in me, and I don't trust them for shit!" After Catcher In The Rye ends, the band restarts it. Axl sings Gran Torino before November Rain "Gentle now, a tender breeze, blows, whispers through, the Gran Torino" He also sings it in the break in the song. During Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Axl tells a story about going to South America and how people would sing "Knock Knock Knockin' Motherfucker" to him. Madagascar features slightly different lyrics sung by Axl, "forgive those that fuck up my show". The last song is performed with Danko Jones, Sebastian Bach and Nick Sterling.

This was broadcast on Brazilian TV & radio. Matt & Dizzy's first show with the band. GN'R's first full show in nearly a year and a half and there's over 140,000 people in attendance! Axl says it is his first rehearsal in 2 years. Axl says that 'Patience' was mainly "pained" by Izzy Stradlin. Before 'Estranged,' Axl says "this will be the first time I've sang it in a happy mood." *Photos are from both shows.
