Makes sense when you're including the new songs Only one song (CD) has been staple on this tour anyway. Most of the time they've played one more, but there were other times where only CD was played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drakestar Posted August 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2023 Wow. What a great performance. Hung out at the hotel for about an hour hoping to catch them, but no luck. My 11th time, a highlight show for me, except the losers all around us. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing Madagascar in Hershey was one of the highlights of the show for me 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GNR 1991 Posted August 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2023 He did a great job on the chorus, seriously impressed with the rasp there. Changes the feel of it in a good way. He’s gotta commit to just the low voice for the verses though, I wanna hear “what a weight upon your shoulders” without that weak mid range voice man. Go full baritone. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go full baritone. Yeah, I’m not sure what’s up with the Mickey verses. You’d think it would be incredibly easy to entirely baritone. He said something along the lines of needing to figure out how to sing it before it started, so it’s entirely possible this performance is his first time trying to sing it in 20+ years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman5150 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Gotta say, awesome show! I think better than Hershey last week! I’ve had amazing luck with GNR lately, getting to see the debut of hardskool in Baltimore a few years ago and then perhaps tonight. Only negative for me was that they started a bit later and didn’t have time for a few. Still haven’t seen pretty tied up, but there’s always next time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the first performance etc. Axl also forgot to sing the last line of the song. I thought Axl sounded pretty decent on this though. The rasp was proper Axl, and not Axl trying to sound like Axl with a forced sound. I don't think it's a stadium song though. I know it just came out and not many know it, but I think this type of song is more suited to a smaller indoor gig where you have more of a concentration of deeper catalogue fans.

I'd def keep every new track possible in, so all 3 should be staples. CD and Madagascar too. Axl can sound good on that and with the MLK and film speeches it actually offers a point of difference in the set. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Slash was playing in Eb, which is funny because some guy on YouTube commented on my cover video insisting that this song would be in standard tuning. Yeah... Eb it is for sure (Jessica is almost always tuned Eb). I would think that the song is "meant to be" played in standard tuning, but it can also be played in Eb tuning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Slash was playing in Eb, which is funny because some guy on YouTube commented on my cover video insisting that this song would be in standard tuning. I thought it was standard tuning too when I was trying to figure out the solo yesterday, mainly because the solo starts with an E. But it was quite difficult to do all the double-stop bends clean enough. After looking at the live performance, it's quite clear that Slash plays it in half-step down tuning. Now my fingers have some relief when I'm trying to play the solo. 😄 However, I have no clue what scale Slash is using. It seems quite random and there are a couple of notes that I feel do not fit the chord progression. Yet, it somehow seems to work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t help but feel bad for him. Maybe I shouldn’t as i don’t really understand the nature of his membership in the band. It’s odd they had him record some songs on Chinese (which all his work sounds great, esp. ITW) yet not on the new stuff? I guess he’s just a touring member but ffs he’s been in the band for close to 20 years.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That what everyone said he would do... It was a bit rough, like he's not really practised...it certainly will get better and he'll have figured it out by the end of the tour. No worries there.

Popular Post gnr1967 Posted August 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2023 Wow. Just got home from the Pittsburgh show. I stayed outside the park to see if I could meet or see any of the band members leave the stadium. Me and about a dozen other fans stayed across the street from the tour buses behind a tall chain link fence. (Security kept telling us we had to stay off the stadium sidewalk, so we were left with no choice but to stand for hours behind a fence across the street). We saw Beta board the bus probably around 1 am, but no Axl. We saw Slash leave and Dizzy. They left immediately after waving to everyone. I was about to give up (I was exhausted and it was quite cold outside) when around 4:30 am, Axl was being driven in a golf cart towards his tour bus to depart. I had my Pittsburgh lithograph with me and a marker, and Axl came and signed it! Me and a few others were lucky enough to get his signature (albeit through a chain link fence) and thank him. He did't say much, and it was a brief encounter, but at least I got to thank him personally. Never met anyone from the band or any major celebrity ...never thought it would be Axl no less. Took a photo of the signed lithograph and a blurry photo of Axl getting out of the golf cart next to his tour bus.

Stage show needs to increase the lighting intensity....for a new song that helps, especially on the chorus energy injection. Axl needs to work out his highs and lows better or just save the highs for the chorus "All alllllone"....Need to work out the ending better, as it just suddenly ended (Axl) I think we WILL.get better versions....Axl needs to have the song in his ears on repeat until Monday and it'll help with timing, etc. Overall, the best end of week in GNR land this side of a day in November 2008....I don't think many would argue against that....
