My Critical Review of the Zürichconcert

[useyourlove]

Well, everybody seems to be very surprised of the supossedly "great" show from GNR last saturday...

It wasn´t a great show. to see Axl is great, yes, because he´s the Man of this band (the other members are poor Puppets, it could be Satriani or Wilde or any fukin guitarrist, doens´t matter, it doenst really belong to this band, emotionally i mean), but the show as i had read many times already before, is an act of sing-along-nostalgia, which theoretically classifies me as an stupid who paid money for such a show but no: i knew what was it about...i wasnt there to hear or see anything new or better than what has been done before... i was there just to see the man: no matter if he was singing madagascar, chinese democracy or nighttrain: anyway, you could barely hear his voice and the band who was playing these songs was a poor -also musically speaking- band...well yes, it was like a reunion with many GNRfans leaded at singing by its chef: axl rose.

But saying that the show was musically good is bullshit (i mean, if you have any experience with music),

to say that the show was emotionally great is real, cause we all went nuts (not everybody actually, there were many fuckin grandparents who got a free ticket at the side of the stage) when finally seeing axl.

More to the music: the guitarrists are the worst shit in this world...fuckin idiotic solos as if we were in the begin of the 80s...you cannot say if the idiot with the guitar is playing a solo style Cinderella or Poison or all this hardrockerwannabees...

They try to play a different version of Slash´solos, and they try to play it more "complicated" but all you get is a lot of noise which sounds more like a bad heavy metal guitarrist solo... they just ruin the song and the solo...but they dont wanna do it like slash did, but their "improvisation" is very poor...

The songs? well, just great, even if it would have been a Coverband, people would have gone nuts, cause GNR songs are just great...how they were played tonight is as if a coverband had play it...difference: hier you can see axl...the rest of the band? the can -and should- dye...fkin professional but bad musicians, very boring...

All the sides were mostly full with people who had got tix for free, since many people had returned their tix, at 9 pm they started giving tix away, so you could see fukin old people who went there to...i dont know...grandmothers, u know what im talking about, didnt know a shit bout GNR... At the end of the show i met some girls who are more the RobbieWilliams fan and they told me the had gotten tix for free...

The Swiss Band: i was first row, in front of Axl and i was just mocking the poor guys... terrible, well, a tipical heavy metal band: they have to play the bad ones but if you dont give a fck about them and are in front row, you realise how childdisch they are, so i was making funny faces to the guitarrist (like: wow, your guitar solo, man, you´re a fuking good guitarrist, ironically...or like, wow, that face of a bad man you make while playing the guitar, the same fuking 2 chords and you feel like being hendrix, so, fuck off you and the people who are applauding you, which is understandable since many of them were 15 year old kids, which is ok, but i dont remember applauding such a crappy band even at that age)...

But I, we saw axl, and it was about that...and yes, we could sing our GNR karaoke to which we have been denied in the last 15 years... GNR? well, that will just lie in our memories and not even the most positive mind could bring them back to life...unluckily, since i was their greatest fan.
