Jackamo! Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) Here's an idea....Hits - Nightrain was absolutely amazing! I think it should be the new opener. They did it flawless and the solo just rocked. I wish every song was this good live.- Bumblefoot. He was amazing, he played amazing solos and had a great appeal. I think he's here to stay.Misses - Too many solos. The drum solos are pretty much pointless these days and if they only have a limited time on stage- they shouldn't waste it.-Robin Finck. I like Finck but tonight he was just off key. His solos were disppointing.- Songs like Out Ta Get Me should be taken off the setlist and we need more new songs. The tour is to promote a new cd but they play old material.Now your turn. Edited May 28, 2006 by Jackamo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidius Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) Yes, Bumblefoot was spot on. Axl's voice was pretty great too.However, the overdose of solos and lack of new material (and old favourites such as Don't Cry) really ranked high on the misses.

Roadhouse Blues Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Nightrain and Out Ta Get Me sounded awesome. It's funny because his voice was vastly better on the Appetite tracks than in 2001 and 2002, back then he couldn't handle them, now he handles them a lot better than some of the UYI and CD material.NR was an absolute highlight.Downs - too many solos, bad transmission and audio glitches on our side, Axl was really out of breath at times and just didn't have the energy he used to have, there wasn't much chemistry with the rest of the band, Robin Finck sucked and they played a pretty shitty setlist over all - not that they were bad songs or anything, but it was too similar to what we've had before - he should have done some other stuff, even if not new songs then at least some random UYI / other Appetite stuff.

Jackamo! Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Wait a sec was this RIR 5 or 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesy Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) Lows: - I think the solos need to be more melodious and instrumental-like, instead of just wank or shred-fests. I really like Robin's beautiful solos on the 2002 tour. Gimme some more solos like 'Beautiful'. Something catchy that the fans can feel. - AOL audio.- Too few UYI songs.Highs:- Everything else, damnit!

G n F n R Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 - Songs like Out Ta Get Me should be taken off the setlist and we need more new songs. The tour is to promote a new cd but they play old material.I'd be quick to disagree. Out Ta Get Me was one of the most hard rocking performances they did when I saw them in NYC on the 14th. I wasn't happy when I heard the song was on the setlist before but now I've been convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackamo! Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 We learned Tommy Stinston's middle name is Eugene. I liked the end of Paradise City with the intros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashahaulic Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I only have heard Paradise City, so these are brief notes.Hits: Axl sounded pretty good. Sounds like he sounded in the late 90s. The band rocked in the middle part of the song.Misses: Band didn't get the opening of PC right - that's a major error on a GnR anthem. The outro solo wasn't very good. Overall it sounded good, but messing up a GnR classic isn't a good sign for long term success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anagram Of Oral Sex Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Out Ta Get Me was one of the BEST FUCKING SONGS OF THE NIGHT!!!!!! All three guitarists were running around just fucking jamming to it, my god best Out Ta Get Me ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 The whole show was amazing. The only real problem I had was the AOL audio. Sometimes the guitars drowned out the vocals and vice versa. I actually didn't mind there being so many solos, and I really enjoyed when Ron threw Don't Cry into his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolio GNR Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 When Bubblefoot started playing don't cry on his solo I was like "Damnit if you are going to play the guitar part then why dont you join in"! The thing I was most pissed off about is there is no UYI material! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet.child Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 It thought it was OK at the very beginning and it kept getting better as the show went on. The only bad thing was the audio kept going quiet, then all of a sudden it would get loud and scare the shit out of me. Over all, it was cool as hell. :krider: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen8R Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I think the only lows of the entire show was the 35gallonshitdrum AOL sound...Sure there were some minor glitches with Axl starting a bit pre-mature on patience, and the P C whistle that came out for the orgy but never got blown.Aside from that I think Finck was a bit of a let down tonight as well. Fortus should clearly take over his spot for lead guitar and Finck should stick to rythm. The Beautiful solo by Fortus was INCREDIBLE and that was pretty much the best thing finck played all night when he joined in. Bumblefoot...yeah, he had his highs and lows, November rain was a work of wonderful guitar art, but alot of his other solo's sounded little better than a constipated grandfather attempting to take a shitHemade up for his bad ones with the Don't Cry resurresction solo and he won over alot of fans (including myself) at that very momentAxl's voice is Fucking wonderful, WONDERFUL. I can honestly say he sounded better tonight than I have EVER heard him sound live...and thats cool because the RIR III show was the WORST I have EVER heard him sound.Madagascar?TWAT?Chinese demoacracy?I was hoping for these...but I think that may have spoiled us anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moop Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Madagascar?TWAT?Chinese demoacracy?I was hoping for these...but I think that may have spoiled us anywaysSame. I was really hoping for TWAT, since it's my favorite of the new leaks. Hopefully they'll play TWAT again real soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
