Coma16 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Loved Craig's stream, haven't laughed like that in a while. Axl sounded great (considering) for the most part. Personally, I don't like Coma in the encore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Skamos66 said: Well some good takeaways at least from this show. 1) Pretty Tied Up was played again, so unless media makes it a big controversy, it'll likely stay on the setlist. 2) New Jersey gig is over with, so the likelihood of idiots like Craig attending has gone down significantly. 3) Catcher In The Rye surprise! (The bread loaf throwing in the crowd is responsible for it's re-appearance and I refuse to think otherwise) They most likely just forgot to play PTU in Hershey. Another time they forgot Brownstone. I guess sometimes shit happens when shuffling the setlist on the spot. Edited August 16, 2023 by Blackstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamos66 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 considering the next show is on the 18th, the same night Perhaps is supposed to be released, I think we got a nice treat to last us until Friday from tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRRHCP98 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 No “Perhaps” tonight, but I had a blast… honestly, the energy felt significantly heightened from when I saw then last in ‘17. Grateful for the experience! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was desperate for it to hit him, so he'd instantly reach into his back pocket and find a 🌽 to throw back...."you draw first blood..." Yes we're all getting more delirious by the day...yes....

AtlasShrugged Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Well I was there and I love catcher but it sounded absolutely terrible. All because of Axl. he was also at fault for hard skool. it’s ironic he sounds so bad on songs he wrote with his modern voice. good gig otherwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyWoodRose84 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Axl just can’t do it anymore vocalwise Slash was sloppy as all fuck. Duff was the one holding it together tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamos66 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hey Axl or TB, if you see this I have an AI voice model of your 90s voice that you can use as a filter through your microphone at gigs, might draw a bigger crowd with the rasp and make Craig shut up next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be great especially for people who thought the band was already done playing and coming back with something long like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just boring after 7 years without any signs of creativity. Enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Catcher was played? Nice. I'm a big fan of that song. I can understand feeling it was tinkered with too much and better versions of it went unreleased, but I disagree when people write it off as a middling Axl/NuGuns song. I think if it had released on the Illusion albums it would be appreciated like Breakdown or Yesterdays.

All jokes aside, that is the most depressing part. We know what songs they had by 2001 thanks to the locker leaks, but stuff like Shacklers, Better, Scraped, Sorry vocals, etc came between Zutaut being fired (locker leak) and Chinese releasing. What could've been if he had just put out a follow up in 2010/2011, put songs like Hard School and Perhaps in the set when he still had his voice. Now we're getting pieced together versions of stuff hes had sitting on the shelf for 2 decades. Wasted talent. Wasted opportunity to do these songs justice live.

novemberparadise23 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Catcher demo was great in my opinion… final version was tinkered with too much. But I loved that song in demo form 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasShrugged Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 As a fan I enjoyed the gig but it was so badly paced for a casual. So personally no complaints but for a big stadium show they need to pace it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Seeing that some folks expected Perhaps: not that I wouldn’t wish it to the concert goers, but this is not 1991, and hearing it live first wouldn’t do the song any good. Granted the chorus’ raspy part will probably be taken over by Melissa and Duff, and the second part has the clean voice anyway... but it still should be released first and only then done live imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Uncle Bob Posted August 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2023 Imagine being there, hearing the pretenders announcing a surprise from GN'R and the only surprise is some comedian before the band that doesn't really have nothing to do with the music 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
