Even though his bass was bare during Power Trip, the word “lame” was stenciled in pink on his black leather vest.” He also said that they played two-hour set and the show lasted full three hours.

You spelled “boring” wrong. I don’t go to a GNR show to hear a slow, boring, ancient country song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t go to a GNR show to hear a slow, boring, ancient country song. Different strokes etc. and as for slow song, GN'R have a few of them. But whether someone likes the song or not, it's undeniable that GN'R have been doing a great live version of it. I'd really like a studio version (as a b-side or bonus track). 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Powerage5 Posted October 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2023 2 hours ago, DSTK said: They played a good set, twice the amount of songs Maiden played Setlist moaners who aren't actually at the show really crack me up...you aren't there watching it You say that without any context - Maiden songs are much longer than GN’R songs. Of the 15 songs in their set this tour two of them are over 11 minutes long and another five songs over 8 minutes long. Seven of the fifteen songs have either never been played live, or haven’t been played live since 1987. It’s also probably the most technically demanding setlist they’ve ever played - there’s some extremely complex songs in the set this tour. I get that Maiden isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but they certainly are not a lazy band by any means. They chance their setlist radically from tour to tour, they play a large dose of new material when touring behind a new album, they’re all pushing their late 60’s (Except Nicko who is 71 and had a stroke earlier this year), they’re still very energetic onstage, and on top of all of that, they still sound pretty damn good. Not every band has to play marathon-length sets to be a hardworking band that gives fans their money’s worth. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like these festival gigs are always less interesting than the regular shows and feel rushed with less songs being played/no encore. I understand curfews and everything. It just seems like people always hype up these gigs for no reason. This event wasn’t supposed to be like that. One of the main selling points was 6 iconic bands doing a full headliner set at one location.

In contrast to the theatrical and profound thought style of Iron Maiden’s performance on Friday at Power Trip, Guns N’ Roses’ headlining set didn’t come close.

They nail it & did with the seeker for years I mean, obviously it's nonsense that show threads are 99 per cent negative- in fact this tour has seen most people be massively positive. Good to know you feel it doesn't matter what they play - most other people on here though are rather interested in what is played. Hence why setlists are posted and why show threads exist. Perhaps if you feel the place is such an overwhelming pit of negativity full of people who 'don't get it' it might be best to avoid all show threads? Setlists are going to get discussed. Always funny to see people telling others what they should and shouldn't give a shit about and discuss though. It's been quite the GNR fan tradition over the years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere back there must be pretty flat, so far away from the stage. Anyone on here go? Where did you sit/stand? It was very easy to get to the G/A rail... Still couldn't see anybody on stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
