[Lord Stan]

This is looking better and better. My mate said that he's very interested (because of Black Sabbath though) and would bring his nice girlfriend as well. While writing this I realised there's Europe as well

Do count me in

[alcapone_dudu]

Was Graspop the last time the band played Rhiad?

''Jungle, baby!'' 

[Nikki_Sixx]

No, you're thinking of Pukkelpop in '02.  Actually the last time 'Rhiad' was played was at The Palace Of Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills, MI on Nov. 21st '02, months after Pukkelpop.

[alcapone_dudu]

No, you're thinking of Pukkelpop in '02.  Actually the last time 'Rhiad' was played was at The Palace Of Auburn Hills, Auburn Hills, MI on Nov. 21st '02, months after Pukkelpop.

Oh yeah Pukkelpop. They both are/were in Belgium that's why...

Thanks man.

Motorhead are always great live. I'm sure Del James know them, I vaguely remember a UK tour years and years ago with Motorhead and Del James was there in some capacity. Europe, Bach and Machinehead are all great live.

Killswitch Engage were not to my taste though last time I saw them. I have also never heard of the Jon Oliva project. I liked Savatage, they were a great rock opera band.

[Verasa]

Would love to get a livestream of this...

or any of their shows this summer

Im going through GnR live withdrawls 

[The Prez]

Ths evening I'm off to Graspop for the weekend!! 

Will normally not come 'online' until monday... Last call to Guns to make it a goddamn badass gig on Sunday, the best one Belgium has ever had!! And screw the curfew (if any) ...and play Get in the ring! 

Godverdommeeeuuu 

Yeehaaa: rock n' roll party all the way. Maybe I'll meet some of you, who knows, I'm the one holding a beer and wearing a Guns shirt 

Enjoy!

[Z?phyr]

Just leaving for Graspop, It wouldn't be Belgium if the weather didn't suck!

Cheers

[[mango]]

Anyone knows if Guns will be a part of Graspop's livestream tonight?
I just watched Baz's show live, I guess the rest of bands will follow, but does anyone know if Guns will be a part of the stream also?

Just saw Ugly Kid Joe on the stream...I had no idea they were still an active band. Had not heard them in 20 years.

[JAEBALL]

Awesome pictures 

[Z?phyr]

Just got home, great show again & what a statement starting early 

[The Bedouin]

Just got home, great show again & what a statement starting early 

I was very surprised too. 20 minutes too early 

[MNGS717]

Nice drumhead!

[NicoRourke]

What a show... Am still recovering after a few hours of sleep, will write a proper review later today.

The band was is excellent mood, Axl kept making jokes and goofy poses here and there, it was priceless.

And what a voice. Better than Antwerp two years ago IMO. I like the clean singing in some parts.

The only thing I'd say is the crowd... Where I was standing there was plenty of fuckers screaming names. Don't know why you go to a show to do that.

[Uzi76]

Fantastic they played 'I used to love her'. 

About the fuckers screaming names...that's excactly why I don't like festivals.
(hence why I drove to Rotterdam to see GnR instead of going to Graspop in my own country)

[Z?phyr]

From the mix position on I thought the crowd was lame & boring, in the front they looked pretty wild though...
Thrilled to see a great review in one of the Belgian newspapers who used to take it down even before showtime, they enjoyed the show!

Quick sidenote, my impression was that Mi Amor is continually growing into this killer song! Top notch Dj

[NicoRourke]

Which one?

[Z?phyr]

Which one?

HLN

Even mentioning they look forward seeing an album come out with the lineup

[Uzi76]

The review I read this morning (Het Nieuwsblad) was also quite positive. Still they couldn't help but saying Axl's voice wasn't as great as last time in Graspop  

Good thing that the Belgian press is also getting more positive on Guns n' Roses. Before it was just pathetic.

[Z?phyr]

It was pathetic indeed, the morgen took it down 2 days upfront though, full of misconception and the usual bs.
Good show last night, kinda sad it's the last one for me of this tour unless I figure out something ... glad I was there ;-)

[Uzi76]

'De Morgen' can only write positive reviews about bands nobody knows and cares about.  If you dare to be succesful or have a bit of an attitude they have to take you down. Unless it's dEUS or other shitty bands like Franz Ferdinand

As a so called 'progressive' newspaper they are not open minded at all.

This is a great crowd, just know how to enjoy themselves despite living half a week in liquid mud.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vNAG0yViy8I Last night with the Boss. Come on Axl, as good as bruce was last night (the best in the modern era of IoW) You would own the Isle of Wight and its up for grabs in 2013....

[Dont Try Me]

I had an awesome time with my bro! It was really special seeing my favorite band from so close! I was in the left section, front right, great experience!

Unfortunately there where also some assholes where I was standing, you know....there was some guy yelling for Slash, it really gets old....., so I told him to shut up, didnt hear him again.   I did meet a nice Belgium fan so that was cool, and people singing along to the new songs as well.

Axl tried to give his mic at the end of PC to 'that guy', handed it to security to make sure it got to the right person in the audience...but there was a discussion between some people in de audience and the security? Wasn't looking too good... In the end it seemed that a girl got the mic instead of the guy? Seemed a bit weird? Felt sad for the dude...

Further notes...umm...Bumblefoot threw a pick at our side but didn't catch it..  
Hopefully I'll catch a gnr guitar pick one day! I did find some confetti in my pants just a few hours ago tho, lol  

Anyways, again what a wonderful experience it was! I almost couldn't stop smiling, dancing, singing and making devil horns, thanks GNR!

I almost forget: when the intro started, few people had a clue it was on! lmao, imagine people just sitting around us, waiting patiently like the rest..... then......the intro starts...my bro and me looked at eachother with a smile: 'yeah, its happening!' you know....with the fist in the air, making horns, clapping and all..... People around us just....sat....kept sitting....they had no clue....We were like: 'wtf is wrong with you people, it's happing, come on get up!' haha, the best thing was: they just looked at us like: 'huh?' great facepalm moment! 

Here some pics:

[The Prez]

It was a great show! My friend who was very skeptic (read: negative) about the 'new' Guns also enjoyed the show very much. His words and I quote: 'I saw a band today who enjoyed themselves and did a great job, unlike 2006 at Graspop'

Very nice suprise to get onstage... 20min too early!! 

Hope to see you again soon.

The Prez is very pleased. Thanks Guns!
 

PS:
'bout the voice remarks we read in the press, it's partially true: there were indeed some parts were Axl 'failed' but mostly it was OK, even more than just 'ok'.
I was there the whole weekend, and also other frontman 'fail' often during their live sets, but nobody cares about a false note here and there (if it is not constantly)....but Axl is like, yeah, the biggest rock star out there, so it's normal he is getting strickter judged than most other artists. It's not a big deal.

[jarmo]

Great show at Graspop Metal Meeting.

Got a bit chilly in the late evening, but that didn't seem to matter.

great photos as usual Jarmo

Some of my pictures:

[gnr-4-ever]

^ Is the text on them really neccessary? I mean if you really want to you can make some sort of a watermark without ruining the pictures for everyone. Just a friendly advice.

[scream-machine]

Oke it takes me a week to make an account on this site but finally I have one.

I wanna clear something up. A guy before said there was a guy who wants the microphone, but it was a girl who gets the microphone.

Well I am the guy who has got the microphone. And the girl was my girldfriend :p So there wasn't any fight or something.

There were just some people in the back who wants to take the microphone too. Than the security takes us over the railing for safety reasons.

So Axl ruleeeessss!

Sorry for some english faults inside my text, but I think everyone understand it.

[jarmo]

Congrats for catching the microphone!





/jarmo

[RocketQueenGNR]

Congratulations!

That's what we saw, a bunch of people who got in a fight after Axl gave you the microphone. Glad you were save by that time. But it's ridiculous that some people are so jealous that another one got it, so jealous they'd even fight for it....

[RocketQueenGNR]

^ Is the text on them really neccessary? I mean if you really want to you can make some sort of a watermark without ruining the pictures for everyone. Just a friendly advice.

Well... I don't know much about computers and this was the easiest way for me.
The pictures I made in Rotterdam are all over the internet, and there were even people who claimed they took them...
I don't care about my pictures being showed or whatever, if they just add the right credits.

[scream-machine]

Congratulations!

Yes, they would punch us for the microphone so the security saved us.
I maked a text for Axl: "Axl, Can I get your microphone". But after 2 songs the security taked away my text.
But Axl reminds it at the end of the show and gave me the microphone :-)

[One.In.A.Million]

^ Is the text on them really neccessary? I mean if you really want to you can make some sort of a watermark without ruining the pictures for everyone. Just a friendly advice.

Have to agree, although it's completely her own decision and we all have to respect it. But I never do this to my own photos, as I want people to share, enjoy and save them onto their computer. It's not a big deal, only GN'R fans are going to care about these photos, so why not let them enjoy them to their fullest content.

Just my 2cents...

I don't care about people enjoying my pictures and saving them, but I saw my Rotterdam pictures with credits from different people, and that's not what I want.

A guy in Rotterdam also had a banner, and Axl gave him the mic.
