Rick Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 i've got a pile of hammerstein confetti right here. every time i look at it, the memories come flooding back....I got my confetti from the Hammersmith show on my desk to remind me everday of how awesome the show wasMe too I really like it, really cool when it all goes off as it comes into the audience. A firework show would be ok - but there are enough pyros during the concerts as it is.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiscool Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 i think it works. it adds to the atmosphere and if you look at the 2002 VMAs with bucketheads solo at the end, it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizzybeth1 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I love the new band, but the pyros and confetti are a bit much. At donnington, they really stood out since no other band would have gone in for that stuff. I dunno but, it just gives the impression that they don't think the music is enough. It's the live equivalent of over production.Slightly wrong, i also went to see Metallica at donington and their pyro stuff was huge, lots of it, far more advanced that GNR gave us and to be even pickier i had to sit through a band called cradle of filth and they had pyro, a girl doing ribbon climbing and a man and a woman with a power tool grinding thing showering sparks everywhere, i could go on but i won't, all i can say is at least the pyro stuff went off for GNR with out a technical difficulty!

off_the_track Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I thought the confetti was great - it looked amazing - I kind of associate confetti with celebration and if a GN'R concert ain't a reason to celebrate, then I don't know what is.

King_of_Beers Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Axl needs to rework his finale and get rid of the Confetti. He needs a bad-ass indoor fireworks show or something else at the conclusion of Paradise City. Seeing it live makes you feel like you are watching a cheesy New Years Eve Party or something. Stupid topic, I know, but I just think it would be cool if they do something else for the big ending. Anyone else agree?and lose me my job, I am the poor fucker who has to pick all that shit up for the next show, it aint a great job but it pays the bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outtagetme Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Out, I don't know why I waited so long to ask this question but.... is that ben affleck (eric romano look-a-like) in your avatar?Ha ha. That's funny. That is actually me in the avatar. I get that a lot, but mostly from black women- I just tell them that they think all white people look alike...

Patience 4 Axl Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I think the confetti is cool!If you look at the show as sex, the confetti is the orgasm. After the confetti, you know the show is over. Time to leave and go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alty Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Nah, I enjoyed the confetti, still have a piece of it in my room It helped make a perfect finale. And the pyros blew me away ( ). Like on Live and Let Die it really did help with the big bangs in time and you could feel the heat off them and all. That was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outtagetme Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 At the author's request, please close this thread. 4 pages of confetti talk is enough. The unscientific results say most people like the confetti. Axl, I know you are reading this so now you can feel confident that we collectively like your confetti show.

ThosePillsITook Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Remember back in the day when Axl would just hand out roses to the crowd. The band let the music do the the talking. The show in NYC on the 17th was amazing like seeing Elvis I love Axl and wish him the best, but fact is with Slash and Co. they didn't need shit you were blown away by the brutal ass kickin live. Love the new band they do a great job but NO SLASH NO GNR love ya bro. PS I'll always support Axl and see em live and buy his shit but I'll never consider it GN'R without Slash N' Duff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
