gunsfanoldie Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Anyone else think Axl kinda looks like Danny Elfman these days lol? Random thought I had when I was at Hollywood Bowl #1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) That performance was really good. Like, I'm shocked. Yes, the verse was a little shakey. But I'm sure he'll fine tune it as he does it more. His vocals on that outro were so much better than I could have ever expected them to be in a live setting. Slash really seemed to be into it. That's really cool to see. The one YouTube video I watched from the pit a little further back. That intro with the dark lights and just the blue light reflecting off Slash's glasses. What a fucking badass performance. Edited November 3, 2023 by Gunner55 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably wouldn't have played it. I wish, WISH, it wasn't like pulling teeth with this band but it always is. Not putting out Chinese from 2000-2008? What are we supposed to do? At some point, we needed leaks. By the time the band finally gets somewhere its usually because some other entity has pushed them. It would have been great if we got the General without ever having heard it, but thats just not how they operate. Its the same as the whole Perhaps release as well. There's just always an issue with these guys and while this was a great moment, it could have been even more epic if they were a little more well run. And I don't think thats asking too much. Just feels like they get mad about stuff that is mostly self inflicted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakey Styley Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Wow. Feels like Axl knew he wasn't going to let this song sound like shit live, it's too important. What's with the alligator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 1 hour ago, Guitto said: Or maybe, they are Part 1 and 2 Two separate songs, in different keys, with different titles, that were played separately in a live setting, that were two different songs at the time Marco Beltrami recorded the orchestration for. I highly doubt it. If it were two parts of a single song, they could have either have titled them "pt.1" and "pt.2" or given them some kind of subtitle like "The perils of rock and roll decadence", on Pretty Tied Up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paultobiass Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Wow just woke up and saw video on Reddit. I saw they sound checked but went to but not thinking Ax was gonna do it. Wow I need better audio so bad but in the YouTube video axl sounded really awesome to me. Slash awesome. If I could hear everything better I’d like live better then leak even. Live doesn’t sound like some say “dated” which I get the leak definitely gave some vibes of trends/music that was cool when it was created years ago. Went to Apple Music hoping for a proper release guess not yet. Rlyyyyy happy w the live performance id wager Monster might be tougher idk we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be very interesting. If there's ever a better place to fall on your face, I think this fuckin' counts... This is called The General. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I'm concerned with people's hearing, but that's a debate for another day. At least they're playing new tunes. Now I'll crawl back into my hole and stop following the live shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
