I’ve not listened to the studio version since it came out but when when your there at the show it’s a riff that can get the crowd going. I think Absurd and Hardskool are songs that work a lot better live 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Carburetta Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 Absurd is generally fantastic, it’s the best received new song since the reunion. The lyrics are deceptively clever, and good. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanecrescente Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Anyone who was front centre of GC see the bald bloke get dragged by 2 security high pitch, clearly damaged raspy squeaking 'i aint done fook all' whilst getting dragged? Was pretty lively there for the best part😂😂 P.S - defo wasn't Axl Edited June 28, 2023 by kanecrescente 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put them on one big couch, Frank and Melissa get tambourines and maybe Dizzy plays piano on Wichita/KOHD. I think the closest they ever came to a B-stage was the flying piano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe I’m saying but I now prefer Absurd over Hardskool when it’s live. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mr.flibble Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, kruelty said: Just woke up, the trip back to Edinburgh was a long one Really great show, first time I was on Slash’s side. It’s very surreal always to see him playing so up close. Agreed about the crowd. Maybe I had too high expectations, thought we’d be thrown around in circles, but there was pretty much no movement whatsoever haha. Don’t think I even saw security interfering, which surprised me. GN’R was terrific, probably the best I’ve seen of them, although Axl seemed tired towards the latter half. Glad Axl caught himself during the slip, it would’ve been a long and hard fall had he not got up! The big man was awfully chatty too, and gave it his all despite a lacklustre crowd. This is the third time I’ve Guns over the last year, and it’s been absolutely worth it. They blow away pretty much 98% of the live acts I’ve seen, and they just can’t seem to stop. Really hope they can keep it going good for a while longer! You must not have seen the lady with the rather large (cosmetic) breasts try to get the attention of the band during November Rain, who then in frustration threw her top and bra at the stage. She did succeed in getting Axl's and Fortus's attention during Heavens Door, at which time security then intervened..... Axl had a grin on his face for about a minute then, and made some comment about things getting even better.

Gold top 78 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Fuck going by the crowd experiences I must’ve been in the jungle 😂 I was at the front slightly to the left of centre at the GA and I seen paramedics for someone to the left of me and also to a woman to right and I seen either 4 or 5 people getting taken away by security with the last person still singing at the top of his voice to whatever was playing 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet in the real world the band just played one of the biggest festivals and nearly every review was positive towards Slash. The difference is, the people on this forum follow the band and can tell when Slash is not trying. He seemed motivated and energetic at Glastonbury, so I'll give him his props. But that doesn't change the fact that on a lot of performances, he clearly on autopilot. People are going to be annoyed by that when everybody else on stage (including Axl, despite the decline in his vocal abilities) is giving a 100% for the fans every night. Axl's voice is the topic of conversation here 80% of the time anyway, so it's not like people are being unnecessarily focused on Slash.

colonizedmind Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Seems mixed crowd reviews then....from some and the vids it looks quite sedate for a Glasga gig...others on here that were in the thick of it, reporting quite a few interesting moments...like the a few that wanted to show you WHAT a rock gig should be....fighting the dying of the light....ahhh Rio I miss you....or like I said a few days ago. Guns need to play Barrowlands at least once before they hang it up, what a roukous that would be! 1 hour ago, colonizedmind said: Ya...the Vegas days of DJ slamming a solo in-between two strip babes! Talking of which, we did actually (I know it had lots of issues getting to shops cough AXL cough) get a live release blu ray (in 3D no less) of the latter Chinese lineup, surely theres been an offer on the table for a reunion disc or at least from Amazon or netflix, etc to buy the right$ to show Houston or LA!?! Any word of rumours on that front last few years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GNR_RNR Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 Finally recovered from last night Guns really made good on a 3 year old promise It's been 11 years since GNR were in Scotland (or their first time ever depending on your perspective) and it's been 6 years since I last saw the band. I worried that I was going to be late for the start but managed to arrive right on time and got a great spot on Duff's side of the stage. This was the first time I've been at the front for a GNR show, and to see these icons up-close with my own eyes really felt unreal. The crowd were pretty subdued compared to what I expected, especially as it got to the middle of the set, but I think that it being a Tuesday and with raining all day this contributed. Everyone still looked to be having a great time and I've heard nothing but good things from people. The venue seemed absolutely rammed. The setlist was as if I had written it myself(aside from missing out don't cry!) it really has something for everyone, songs from every era of the band (and others lol). I loved all the additions for this leg of the tour. Before this leg of the tour I know there was some criticism of the setlsit but last night I saw 11 songs (including covers) I hadn't seen performed before. Axl was a beast. I know he gets a lot of flack for his vocals on here but live they really deliver. His showman ship is still absolutely A+ as well. He was in such a good mood and seemed genuinely thankful to the assembled crowd. Slash blew me away with just how much presence he exudes, really making the band feel like GNR. Duff is as cool as ever, his solo spot was fun and he interacted well with the crowd. GNR really are firing on all cylinders right now, after a shaky few years of spinning their wheels this really does feel like an all new show (meme intended). Roll on Hyde Park! 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed it. Always waaay better in person at 100+ dB than on tinny YT (not that either mask Axl) Lots of good will at the moment, just wish they'd capatalise on it....sooner rather than Axl, I mean later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like a right arrogant prick.Intent on offending all of us. Instead of tweets etc we should all help write a strong comeback song with Axl/ Guns compose something together for these two smart arses. Which are most likely lurking in this forum. 5 hours ago, We love Axl Rose said: This first picture has 90's energy to me.
