Possible they'll be at the site today. There was an insta story from Vanessa earlier that showed Axl being at the venue I think (it's in the unofficial social Media thread) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chris3535 Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 Been a GNR fan dfor years, last time i seen them live was in Newcastle when Slash was not part of the band. Axl was so late everyone was kicking off, anyways someone threw a coin and Axl walked off before paradise city! Anyways watched last night and wow i thought they sounded amazing. Sure the voice is not as strong but my fave band is Bon-Jovi...and if you think Axl has problems you really should hear Jon's voice now! Superb last night ! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_rose Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) So, hands up...I was one of those who feared for Axl's voice when this show was announced. And while I'm sure it could have been a total car crash, Axl and the band made me, and many others, eat our words. Maybe the trip Columbia worked some magic. Yes, Axl hit Mickey at times. Yes, there were 'questionable' drops in Axl's mic levels (at times when Axl's voice probably would have struggled. Coincidence? Probably not), but...BUT...the vast majority of his vocals were fantastic by the standards of the last 20yrs. As someone who doesn't really watch too many recent live videos, especially if I'm taking in a show on a current tour (I won't even look at the setlist), this is the best I've heard Axl for years. This is absolutely the best we could have hoped for. Setlist was pretty cool too. I LOVE they did Absurd when it would have been so, so easy to drop it. A big FUCK YOU to those who think Axl doesn't have any edge left. Slash was superb. He's been guilty of going through the motions at times, and being a little sloppy, but even Chinese sounded banging. My other half noticed Slash drooling. Hope he wasn't out of it. But wherever the fuck he was, he sounded amazing. I'm still glad I didn't get tickets for Hyde Park or Glasgow because of the type of shows they are, I'd be all over an arena tour. The band nailed it. Well done GNR. Edited June 25, 2023 by invisible_rose 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze you loose. No critical articles about those woman disrespecting the audience, to wash their hair, etc. I mean they could of just repurposed their ready to go guns timing issues ones...but nah, free pass! Because the rule is, you bring the old chesnut back at all costs....the greatest hits even exist in journalism folks! Lana going and talking to the fan and the mass sing-along of "Video Games" was the best tribute to Axl and DJ circa Reading 2010! How the times have changed....😆 Lana Del Rey 5 stars, incredible performance for the ages, should have been the main headliner! According to some parts of the media anyway, who conveniently ignore the fact half she pissed off the audience by being late - for an utterly pointless reason, and her set was cut by 8 songs! No doubt it would have been a pile on if Axl was even a few minutes late 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll be back. I suspect an arena tour at some point. Or maybe just a few dates at the O2. That will piss me off, but I'll still trek to London to see them in a smaller setting. I can't see them not coming around again - even if it's a couple of years away. Whether it'll be worth seeing at that point is anyone's guess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it'll be worth seeing at that point is anyone's guess! Yea...actually I'm holding out for an arena tour...sound is better for starters! States had plenty, so hopefully after some material is done, arena shows! The fact that it's taken them 7 years to even visit Axl's 2nd home (Scotland!) Is of note. Plenty of places and markets to play a couple of years from now...I can see the band playing most of their 60s and stopping as they hit 70 or one dies... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walapino Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Please let me know when the best audio recording has been edited to the pro shot footage by the bbc... I want to see this show in the best quality posibble. BTW a litle fact the FOH sound engineer of the band is not the one mixing the audio for streaming or the BBC... they have the own mixers for that. Maybe thats why there were so many fuck ups? I work with bands and when we broadcast on TV or streaming is an entirely different operation and mix specially build for tv sets and laptops, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonizedmind Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Hoping for some guest appearance today with any of the guys but will for sure be watching Elton closely....4 guest slots remember...we can tick them off as they go...

This guy reeks of only caring about what is cool and "in". But I guess in 93 he might have moved into grunge and seen GnR as a product of the 80s Oh the critics have been ripping off their armchairs about this band since the beginning. The crowds don't hear them. Spitting on a fire if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiritual_Chaos Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Spice Girls including Victoria would be crazy But I would imagine it would be current artists off his latest album (?), not counting Eddie Vedder. His last show in the US (available on Disney plus), Brandi Carlile, Kiki Dee and Dua Lipa came out. Britney Spears and Dua Lipa maybe?
