You can actually see people leaving to go take a piss when they show crowd shots.... kinda scary i really hope that this album dont flop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls_Disillusion Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 If IRS was a single on the radio or something the fans at least had on an album, more people would know it and they would get into it more. Only diehards on the forums have any of the leaks, so we know and love these songs,and IRS rocks live! But to someone who doesn't know the song or hasn't heard it, I can understand why it wouldn't be as interesting, especially to a casual fan who is going so they can hear Sweet Child of Mine or Paradise City.

W. Axl Kev Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Seriously if you look at any of the performances from Rock Am Ring the crowd are like a bunch of dead bodies. No movement at all. Don't worry about the record it wont flop it'll be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackvresse Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 you guys weren't there...It was VERY early in the morning (like 4 am) and it was cold as fuck. GnR took the stage way too late..I can understand that ppl did not move anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Seal Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 How could the crowd main crowd really be into it when they havent heard anything of that/those songs..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyTiedUp763 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 How could the crowd main crowd really be into it when they havent heard anything of that/those songs..?I agree Seal. With the exception of everyone on this forum, most people had never heard of that song. Once CD is released people will really start rockin' out.

Guest cherry_bomb Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) i was quite surprised how few people knew the new songs. at wembley, the only person i could see singing along with me to the new ones was binge_and_slash at the acoustic show i shouted "better" hoping theyd play it, but people looked at me as if i were telling them to play better...i had to explain oh and in my opinion, the new songs rock just as harder if not harder than the old ones, esp IRS Edited August 29, 2006 by cherry_bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busngabb Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Ze Germans aren't the most passionate of people. Serious skeletons in their collective closets you see.If there was a pro shot of the Manchester show (And do doubt a lot of the other Euro shows) you would be proclaiming the band as the best in the world, given the crowd bounce.But you picked a bad song. Even if a band plays the best song that has ever been written, if you've not heard it all you can do is nod your head enthusiastically as you don't know whats coming next.

LCG Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 You can never trust a crowd. Take the Tokyo '92 DVDs (02.22.92). The Japanese crowd were pretty motionless, yet it was one of the best GN'R shows of the UYI tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WARose Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Ze Germans aren't the most passionate of people. Serious skeletons in their collective closets you see.seriously dude.... what do you expect??it was fuckin 4 am in the morning and cold as fuck... i was at rock am ring and the crowd was great. watch the korn concert from the same day(8 hours earlier though...) 70000 people jumping....gnr started their set 12 hours after i went in front of the stage... and i was seriously happy having survived korn by the way... lots of people were standing there for more than 8 hours before gnr even started... did you ever go to a festival?? if you did i can`t understand your reaction... gnr played after the headliner. they took the stage from 1:45am to 4am....and well... they cut a lot from the concert... axl said thank you like 15 times during the concert, because people were chanting "guns n roses" after every song.. i think it`s on the broadcast when he says "a very generous crowd"... i was really surprised about the positive response the band got, especially the new songs, which were very well received imo.

gunsguy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 people outside this circle don't know anything about gn'r these days, in 2002 in toronto everyone got excited thinking slash was there, I don't know how many times I told them he aint, its funny you pay all that money and not even know who is coming on stage!Gunsguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
