macunaima Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Guns n’ Roses are coming to Rock in Rio-Lisboa!In 2001, the new version of Guns n’ Roses performed at the third edition of Rock in Rio. More than 200.000 fans witnessed the return of Guns n’ Roses, after 7 years away from the stage. Axl Rose introduced the new band during a show of more than two hours, which was considered to be the best of the entire event. Today, 5 years later, the show of Guns n’ Roses at the City of Rock promises to be a historic one, both for Rock in Rio and for Portugal. By: Paulo M. GuerrinhaUh, you wish!! The band was pretty good, but Axl's voice was weak and often off key. Besides, Iron Maiden put on a kick-ass show at RIR 2001. I'm not sure if Gn'R could surpass Maiden's performance even in their heyday. Edited February 21, 2006 by macunaima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macunaima Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 shut up don´t talk like that about Axl!Axl Rose is not God. He fucks up sometimes and it's okay to say so and at RIR his voice sounded like crap. I like the new songs and I'm looking forward to the new album (if it ever comes out), but that doesn't mean that I'm blind to the fact that Axl sucked at RIR (and throughout most of the 2001-2002 tour).Besides, Iron Maiden is also an excellent band. They're especially an excellent live band and their RIR performance in 2001 was unbelievable. (as was their RIR performance back in 1985) Guns n' Roses have never been that good. Sorry to upset you, but its a fact. AfD might be better than most Iron Maiden studio albums, but get these bands on a stage in front of an audience, and there is no contest.Now piss off...

Umm, you're welcome to your opinion, but you are most definitely in the minority. G 'n R in their prime was much much MUCH better than Iron Maiden. Hell I don't even like Iron Maiden at all and wouldn't give a nickle for one of their cds. But that's my opinion. See how that works?

I think the new songs sound great, but I was not really impressed with hardly any of the old ones from this show. 'Live And Let Die' and 'You Could Be Mine' are especially weak.

Griff Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Smell the glove, where are you from in Ireland. I was at the gig in London aswell. Did you hear the GNR playing Dublin rumour from a reliable source. That would be savage as I'm saving to go to Canada and Lisbon would be expensive.

(gave me the chills the first time I heard it, awesome song) I think he's still got the voice. Just have to keep in mind he's 44 now and not in shape (his voice that is)... I'm sure he's been working on it, or I hope so at least. Edited February 21, 2006 by Focker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G 'n R in their prime was much much MUCH better than Iron Maiden. Hell I don't even like Iron Maiden at all and wouldn't give a nickle for one of their cds. But that's my opinion. See how that works?Well, this is a matter of opinion, that's true. But some opinions are biased and uniformed.Gn'R and Maiden have been my favorite bands since 1988 when I first discovered both of them (around the same time.) Like I said, I think that AfD is better than most Iron Maiden studio albums, and if you take only the good stuff from UYI I&II, then that would probably be better than *any* Iron Maiden studio album. But, of course, Maiden has released 13 studio album during their career while Gn'R has only released 3.5 (LIES only counts half) -- Maiden released 7 albums since the release of AfD. So it isn't surprising that Maiden's material tends to be more diluted and spread out.In any case, whatever you may think about the relative qualities of the studio albums, there is simply no contest between their live shows. I haven't actually counted, but Iron Maiden has played probably 10x more live shows that Gn'R, and probably 100x more live shows that the current line-up. It is neither surprising, nor is it a dig against Gn'R to recognize that Iron Maiden is a better live band.

I'm sure he's been working on it, or I hope so at least.I agree that Axl still has his voice. The recently leaked tracks prove that. My point was not that Axl is a has-been. My point was simply that he did not perform very well at RIR 2001, and through most of the 2000-2001 tour. I don't think I've actually heard 'The Blues' from Boston -- at least not recently. The recording I have is from Pittsburgh, and while I think it is a great song, I don't think Axl does a very good job.
