Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hope this can be used as the live update thread for tomorrow i will try and do the live updates again for you may be difficult as i will be front row this time hopefully in the pit does one of the Mods or someone want to recieve the updates and hopefully pictures should have full battery this time though pm me your email address. To those going hopefully see you there.

I'd make the sacrafice, but I'm not in town, and won't be enowhere near sober enough to post shit.. Sorry.

But I'm pretty sure you'll find someone who'll do it.

I can try to send updates from my phone but who wants to post the stuff up on the site.

If you wanna send updates to me, pm me.

I'll be here.

I'd gladly do the updates, ill be sitting here all night  : ok:

It's cool, I've taken care of it.



/The Greek  :P

No you won't, I'll do the updates.  :P

ill send some updates aswell.is there anyone in the UK who will be here tomoz to recieve my texts

if anybody does then PM me your mobile number and ill text you later to sort it out  : ok:

fight fight fight


ill send to you both its no hardship to me just make sure unlike will that my emails dont go to your spam box he missed half the setlist because of that last night

Naaaaaaah, Ignatius is a cool guy, I woudn't fight him even for an all access pass to Jeniffer Lopez's ass, hmmmmmm, well maybe I'd fight him for that but anyway, you get the point. ;D

BTW, I got your email and it didn't go to my spam folder so don't worry about that...  : ok:

has this gig sold out?

Cool, the 9th of June. GnR have given me a birthday present this year  :beer:

dont think so coz my mate bought a ticket a couple of days ago

Right, my hopes, expectations and dreams for this gig.

Well as far as the setlist goes there are 15 songs we know already: the usual 7 from AFD he plays at every gig, plus My Michelle, the usual 4 from UYI, Patience, Blues and Better. I really wanna hear Rocket Queen its one of my favourite GnR songs and would love to be singing along to that but I don't think he'll play it the same night as My Michelle ?:( Then for the new songs I really wanna hear Madagascar, There Was A Time and Better. He'll obviously play the Blues as well so I'd be happy with them 4. I'm not too bothered about Chinese Democracy or IRS I'd prefer another vintage rocker like the aforementioned RQ. However, I'm not too confident about hearing There Was A Time. There is a curfew at 11, and they are really strict in Ireland. Residents often try to stop concerts altogether over here! He'll probably play shortly past 11 but I'm guessing 17 songs which means the expected 15 I mentioned above plus Madagascar and IRS.

My other hopes are that I get into the pit, Axl doesn't wait too long to show up (they're due on at 8 for anyone interested!)and ?:beer: is cheap.

I just know some idiot will turn up with a Slash t-shirt, not to annoy Axl, but just coz loadsa people over here don't know who's in the band! I'm not expecting much from the support acts. Therapy? would be good live but they're on a different stage so don't think I'll bother.

I'm most looking forward to hearing the opening notes of Jungle, plus It's So Easy, SCOM, OTGM, NR, RQ, Madagascar, Better, TWAT and my favourite GnR song, Paradise City being played live and Axl going "Baby Please Dublin Good Fucking Night". Well actually I don't wanna hear that coz then the gig's over :crying:

My far-fetched dreams for this gig;

Hear Estranged, Civil War, Coma or Double Talkin' Jive ?:o :drool:
Hear Catcher In The Rye with Brian May ?:o :D
One of the guitarists to start playing the riff to Slither during one of their solos :hihi:
Hear a brand new song :yes:
GnR to show up on time
The lights burst on when the riff to Jungle kicks in and oh my god it's Axl Slash Duff Izzy and Steven! Ok I know loads a people are gonna reply with hater and all the usual stuff but I don't mean that as a diss to New GnR, who many people say play better than the original band. It's just the original GnR are my favourite band of all time so it would be pretty special to see them live.

i just checked it there and it isn't sold out. Probably due to that fact that school exams are on. Metallica isn't sold out sunday either probably for the same reason.

Update from the road met up with jarmo and gracila at stansted went to the guinness storehouse now in bruxelles the 2nd illusion concert is playin on tv in here more updates later

What a day it is in Dublin for a concert...nice and sunny

I think i'll listen to all my GNR to hype myself up b4 the show

OKay I will start.

What time does GNR go on stage and what time is it in Dublin now :P ;D

now someone post the world clock link :hihi:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

It's about 6 pm right now ;D

Okay but what time do they hit the stage and will they be late?  Come on we have to ask and do this for every concert ;D

No matter what the venue says, I'm thinking 11 pm.  It seems the be the magic time :hihi:

The concert will begin at 17:30 on Friday 9 June and 15:00 on Sunday 11 June. Both concerts will finish at 22:30.

so it already started then?

GNR are scheduled to be onstage at 8 (2 hours left)... but I doubt it. hope soon we'll get a bit of info from anythinggoes

There is surprisingly little info on this tonight. ?Wasn't anythinggoes gonna be sending updates and stuff? ?

It's quiet. ?TOO quiet ?:nervous:

Everyone's passed out with Jarmo :hihi:

It is suprisingly early to start yet... well I guess opening act(s) are onstage already... what is this, a fu*ck*ing kids show? ?:P

Sad to say but I think the novelty has worn off.  I mean, I am not complaining coz I am glad GNR are back, but I think if they change up the set list, we'd have more updates and more people on board here.  I wonder if some are just getting complacent now.

I think there will be more hype for Download.  But I think your right, it's kinda getting to be the same thing over and over for those of us on the board here. 

I KNOW it's not like that for the people at the shows though  : ok:

It's still quarter to 7, right?

Still too early to stand by for GNR. ;)

I'd say that we still have around 4 hours or so to go.  5 hours if Axl doesn't have the proper oxygen mask. : ok:

for me usually is enough to hear they are onstage... than I can sleep. so what?

nothing can beat the feeling of the opening notes of WTTJ

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/


time to post this link again.  It's ritual now to post this link at least 6 times in a thread :rofl:

By the end of the summer, all of us whom follow every show will be Time Zone Converter Experts  :rofl:

In 1 hour start show of GN'R??

By the end of the summer, all of us whom follow every show will be Time Zone Converter Experts? :rofl:


haha yeah that's soo true haha..
it's 8.13 now in sweden so that means that they are meant to start playing in about an hour?

Umm, my German is uber-rusty, but Slash isn't God.  Everyone knows that Weird Al Yankovic is God... yeesh.

-darknemus

ich nehme ein Kartoffelsalat bitte. ohne Kase, danke.

At thought it was proven  in Germany Hasselhoff is God?

Wow, am I glad I don't read/speak German.  Sounds like this guy is having a episode  :hihi:

Back on topic- umm...well...yeah, guess there's not much else to say lmao

I don't know that Hasselhoff is God, but the wise Norm MacDonald taught us two important lessons 1.) Germans Love David Hasselhoff 2.) If Manufactured, the most popular toy in history would be "Tickle Me Frank Stallone"

Philly Rose, just letting you know that from now on every single post you make WILL be deleted.

You've been warned.

First pic from Dublin coming in a few seconds.

YYAAAYYY!!!

Why am I excited?  This give me a reason to not work, that's why ;D

(http://www.gunsnroses.gr/Christos/Dublin/stage.JPG)

thanks to anythinggoes...

You need to find reasons not to work??

Thanks Christos : ok:

Do you know what time it has been taken? If recently seems to me people are aware of "lateness" and will show up late :P

thanks Christos AG, beautiful day in Ireland  :P

It seems that it was sent 43 minutes ago.

I just opened my emails...  ;D

just got my tickets to july 5 & 6 in finland..cant wait!

in the meanwhile...waiting 4 some updates from Jarmo..  :beer:

yuck, there's a fat burd in a pink cowboy hat and a mini skirt. fat bitch.

nice foto other than that tho. cheers.

Ah well im not there and would love to be but no money  and only got home form work @ 1630 and then trying to get to dublin would be nigh on impossibel.but on the radio today,at 12 noon people had been started to line up to go in. 

What time does it start? I mean, yeah, I know they are probably be late, but 11ish maybe?


Philly Rose, you've broken a record. -10? ?:hihi: Not even speed-stone got that much bad karma.

I am truly disappointed.
I have always thought he was more like the Devil.

so 9 minutes till 8... getting ready for GNR to hit the stage ... catching beer from the fridge ... and another one ... and another one :P

What a stupid fucking comment, stfu. This thread is for updates from the show, not your idiotic shallow comments. ?::)

Anyway, cant wait for the updates, hope they plat TWAT tonight.

Listen, from now on do not reply to Philly Rose's posts.

He will be banned, all of his posts are being deleted, let's see how long can he do this for...

BTW, I'm having fun with this so I can go on forever...  :hihi:

I have the feeling they will play TWAT tonight. I don't know why... just watched it again from 12th NY and it is a great song.

@Christos
enjoy the show rather then play with an asshole  8)

The band is on stage now...

Why can't you just ban him? ?:hihi: Or is Jarmo the only one who can ban members?

With or without Axl?  :hihi:

kidding... great news... great

What time is it over there?

Let's enjoy deleting posts for now...  ;D

8:05 PM (20:05)

Philly Rose is an idiot. ?GNR is on the stage now? ?Thats early.

Can't you read?

They are on stage NOW???  Holy moly that's early  :o

Sorry didn't read that one AG.

Woah they actually went on stage on time tonight? This is a first lol

They must have plans early tonight? ;)

jungle & easy

(http://www.gunsnroses.gr/Christos/Dublin/Image(530).JPG)

Or they ran out of cash-on-hand to pay the fines ?:hihi:

Maybe we'll get pics from after the show then. ?;D ?They've got to do SOMETHING after they finish this early in the night lol

Nice Pic.  Different to see Axl in the sunlight performing.

How is the crowd out there?

I have no idea and I cant ask him, he's in the middle of a gnr gig, the updates are too much themselves, and with pics...

in 92 when they played in Ireland i remember Slash comment on how different it was for them to play in the daylight, must be something special in Ireland about not being allowed to play at night.

Axl says stage slippy mr brownstone axl asks guitar players to report to center stage live and let die 

You are funny Ag. ?Refering to those who are out in the crowd.

sorry?

Ohhh.. When Christos said they were on stage, I actually thought they were soundchecking like they did in Madrid ?:hihi:

Here's the info i was looking for..

05.16.92 - Slane Castle, Slane, Ireland
opening acts: Soundgarden, Faith No More
set: Nightrain, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Bad Obsession, Don't Cry, Double Talkin' Jive, Civil War, Wild Horses [Intro] / Patience, Attitude, Welcome To The Jungle, It's Alright [Intro] / November Rain, You Could Be Mine, Drum Solo, Guitar Solo, Godfather Theme, One [Intro] / Sweet Child O' Mine, Only Women Bleed [Intro] / Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Paradise City
attendance: 50,000
audio/video recording?: video [incomplete]
notes: Before the show, U2 sent a case of Irish whiskey to the band as a welcoming gift. Before 'Live And Let Die,' Axl says the band originally wanted to do the 'Paradise City' video in Ireland. Before 'Don't Cry,' Slash says, "Playing in the fuckin' sunlight, that's a change!" This is the first documented performance of 'It's Alright' as an intro to 'November Rain.' Axl sings U2's 'One' as an intro to 'Sweet Child O' Mine,' a song that he wanted GN'R to perform completely on tour.

It's so weird to see Axl in the daylight. ?I hope he doesn't get a sunburn ?:hihi:

o..k... slash isnt in the band anymore, sry brock.

back on topic: its great that they came on stage on time?  : ok:

No shit, it has nothing to do with HIM personally, just commenting on the last time GUNS played in Ireland and it was also in the sunlight..

he will probably be alittle red. ?Atleast we know Axl didn't turn into a vampire now because we never see him perform in the sunlight.

yea i know, im just fuckin with you.

maybe they told Mr. Rose that in Ireland a day lasts for 6 months (as in North Pole) and they put the watch in oxygen tank 3 hours upfront :hihi: :P

actually I am sure we will get more suprises as tour rolls...

What a cruel trick! 
Well guys have to run. ?Going to the NIN concert in Raleigh. ?Will let you know if NIN has any hiden messages about GNR :rofl: ?Thanks AG for the updates.

I hope you are wearing a 'Where is Robin?' t-shirt?  : ok:

Setlist:

1.Welcome To The Jungle
2.It's So Easy
3.Mr.Brownstone

Actually I will wear a GNR shirt.  I will write "Where is Robin" on my undershirt. ;D

Looks like the setlist will be the same as in London.  ::)

hmm.. where have i seen this before.. oh yeah at every gn'r show this year haha..

You do realize that at 99 percent, if not all, of the shows GNR has played since 2001, those have been the first three songs.

People complaining about the setlist is so fucking lame. This is their show. Get over it.

u've probably havent seen LALD in my post.

latest update:

Axl: "im meltin im meltin dont usually see the sun"

a jam and axl does a line dance

heavens door wears an irish flag thrown on stage durin song

richard solo

richard robin solo beatiful

out ta get me

Oh yes, that's right. Sorry ?:hihi:

And oh, I'm not complaining, just commented on it ?:)

lol@ 'im melting' - I need a bootleg of this show, if only to see him fire off that one line.  Classic Axl.

-darknemus

Looks like the setlist will be the same as in London.? ::)

i don't mind that they almost the same setlist every show.. but if i were to choose.. i'd take some more songs from UYI..
but i'm very happy that they play shows again
(sorry my english.. i'm swedish haha)

 :rofl: ?That's why I like following these shows... for the little side comments that Axl makes ?:rofl:

well they changed the order of songs for this daylight show... don't think 'Beautiful' was played so early in the set... hope they will play some songs from their 'last' record soon :hihi:

I think these are the first pics of Axl in daylight since the Rio show in 01 when he was by the pool.

i'm dying to know if robin is going nut during OTGM  :hihi: maybe trying to pass over a fence? lol

not really

'Feelin the rythm of the holy lord jesus' then does a gospel rap type jam while piano comes out

Noo way you're wrong, i've seen a couple of daylight pictures of him from 2006..

Back to the updates.

Ron solo was dont cry sorry whole song too, you could be mine

OK, thanks!!!

on topic: woohoo, you could be mine ?:drool:

A Gospel/Rap?..

fuck that's cool.. have anyone more than me heard the Shaquille O'neal rumour?
couple of years back he was rapping on one gn'r song with the new band.. the song he rapped on wasn't supposed to be on the chi-dem album but on one of the latter

Robin solo "finlandia"

song title by Jarmo...  ;D

Sweet child

the transfurs to dvd were not use in a high bit ratio ?that is why your dvd's are not 4 gb each or close to it

@timebomb
I am lost, I have no idea what it has to do with this gig and I don't care. But thank you for sharing ... ?:nervous:

i wish pittman did a solo? :'(

no pittman=no gnr

 :nervous:

:rofl:

Jammin then better

And again a jam

Nearly half the setlist (so far) is just jams and solos

Those are allot of jams.  :P Shows the band haves fun tho! Thanks for the updates!  :D

Noone here knows better ha ha ha

wow cant beleive it started already!

damn too many solo/jam stuff.. hopefully axl ill read these sites and realize that it sucks!

who cares...you want them to just stand around while axl takes a hit of O₂

Alot of those solos are back to back too so they are prolly the same solo...dude is just being super accurate : ok:

The old band just as many solos and jams, why do people keep bitching about this. Slash always had a solo, hell sorum had a solo, then gnr aways had intros/solos ?before SCOM, Nov Rain, KOHD etc etc. Its no different than what they did back in the day

maddy

how cool would it be if they played a new "new song"?!  :crying:
and i dont mind the jams...

good, madagascar!! hope they keep it in the setlist forever!

The thing which excites me most is that Axl is sounding better and better with each show passing! Or so I can hear from from the couple of boots  :D

Madagascar.yeahh

Maybe next song TWAT??

enough with the fucking jams and solos already  ::)

yeah next song TWAT? hah and what is your reasoning for that? ha ::)

Axl just came right down to the front of the crowd durin maddy crowd fucking went nuts

It seems as though Axl is getting more comfortable with playing the new songs live. : ok:

solos and jams are cool... and yes next song will/should be TWAT

I'm thinking basicallty that set list should prolly read

1.Welcome To The Jungle
2.It's So Easy

15.Madagascar

but what the fuck do i know...i'm not even there so I'm gonna shut up now....Jams are cool IMO :P

@ Don't Try Me....by the time they hit North America the show will be fucking amazing :smoking: ;)

You know what's more annoying, people bitching about people bitching. This is a forum, with that many solos people have a right to "bitch" discuss it, thats the point.

dude... why TWAT theve played it once out of a total of what 12/12 shows? why r u guys saying u think twat is next?

Origen..you are completely right.

Thank u :hihi:

can we really call it "new" anymore? LOL

introduction my manager my future cell mate seb bach

my michelle

i hope that they start the encore with chinese democracy

Yes we can.  Most of the people in the crowd aren't die-hards.

for sure! Things only get better and better! And it already is going great! Can't wait to see them in Nijmegen 2nd of july!  8)

because i hoped so

so baz is there then?.. cool as hell

My manager?? ?:hihi:

"Going to try and not cock up patience"

 ;D

sweet, at least he admited that he has a tendancy to fuck it up recently

Yes but this isn't back in the day.

Back in the day GN'R will woefully self indulgant and the performances suffered.
Remember how great it was before the solos, and how great it was during the Skin n Bones tour when they trimmed off all the fat that gathered.

This new band has a hell of a lot to prove and people are right to complain about all the solos, even GN'R at its peak never had so much time wasting. They are really pushing it and the the overwhelming opinion from the audiences has been ZzZzzZzzzzzZZZzzz...........

Why dont they shorten the fucking gigs and charge less fucking money, its a crock.

Can't wait either to see them in Nijmegen!

Have you been to a show?

Crowd sing along to extended chorus of patience

Do Americans use the phrase "cock up"? I thought it was just an English thing, ah well anyway...

get back to the mutha fuckin topic.. this topic is supposed to be about the download show.. i'm sure you guys can find another topic to "bitch" about the solos and jamming.. okey?

I don't even know why we even bother with updates , ?the setlist is not going to change ?, Axl and the band are most likely going to sound the same as the previous show , ?the only news we should follow is whether he went on stage and no riots occurred. ?I understand a show like Rock in Rio ?and Rock am Ring ?where there was streaming going on ?but I think it gets old ?having a thread about a show we aren't even watching. ? We should just wait for Download on sunday ?and see if we get any audio streaming . ? Every one of these concert threads ?are beginning to look exactly the same as previous ones . ? Kind of a waste of time ?, ?don't you think??

No I don't. I like these updates.  :P

Absent the solos,
People would yell "Hired guns!"
It's always something. ::)

The solos tell me
That this is truly a BAND
And each player shines.

Splash

/Mike

ok listen here.. at this show... there are to many jams and solos.. so in a topic about this show, we can bitch about the solos and jams..

 >:(

Talk about a show IF a new song or something interesting was said about CD, other than that its nothing to really report. ?It is cool to have them out and about again though, better than hidden away in some studio.

the original line up had longer solo's.....10 min drum solo, 10 min guitar solo
everyone keeps harping on about the boring solo's...... give the new guys a fucking break and stop fucking complaining
solo's give the band time to re-group and chill for a few mins

but if there's people who want the updates then give it to them/us.. if you think it's a waste of time you don't have to be here reading about it...
but let's get back on the topic...

No I don't. If you don't like updates don't read them... it's so easy to enjoy or not enjoy, noone is forcing anyone... but people always bitching, going offtopic and so on...

Didn't you bitch about the same thing in the Hammersmith thread? ::)

If you don't like the updates then stay out.

argh, i'm disappointed, i always think that french people was the only grousing people  :rofl:

The new band IS PROVING their talents with this solos. They are show casing their talents with them. And dont speak for everyone when you talk about the crowd being zzzz because I was at the first hammerstein show and no one was bored during the bands solos. Nice try tho

what about the solo's ... but then ALSO the already 3 band jams in the show.

3 jams is too many IMO.. one is perfect.

Nicely spoken

The band jams are just intros for the songs really.

Do us all a favor and stop posting here then. How about that? You could just cut and paste your lil thing about this in every thread. You are like a broken record, just stop posting here if you are sick of it. Most bands play the same set list every show, so why are you crying.

get back to the mutha fuckin topic.. this topic is supposed to be about the download show.. i'm sure you guys can find another topic to "bitch" about the solos and jamming.. okey?


ok listen here.. at this show... there are to many jams and solos.. so in a topic about this show, we can bitch about the solos and jams..

 >:(


listen?.. i'm reading but you may have like the coolest computer in the world if you can listen to what people are writing on the web......


joking.. but that would be cool.. shal we get back to the topic now? hahha now i'm bitching about getting back to the topic

:rofl:

That is my point, so I dont see why people get so pissy about it

The jams are really short, they just jam while they are moving the piano... it's why Axl called it the "Moving the piano jam" once... don't remember at which show 8)

Seriously swingtrader, i understand it's ok to disagree with people, but you just spew the same shit over and over again in each thread, you just change the wording around.

get lost dude, no one wants you here. we all laugh at you, and we pm eachother talking about how much of a loser you are. and yeah, we also talk about those pictures of you at the Styx fan festival.

Nightrain takes a lot of time to finish.....

Where are the updates??

just a heads up fransman... i dont think the mods like when u just post a smiley no actual reply.

i just remember reading that u can get negative points for that when i first got on the board so just a reminder ;)

Waitin for encore bumble foot geein up the crowd now axl doin band introductions in style of game show host robin solo just startin to get dark screens show him against sky line paradise city

hahaha that cut and paste part of your post is hilarious.. and so right 2..

Budapest 2006/05/31

So i see, you have a karma of -1

Thanks for the reminder

what's karma?..

look under ur name. u get negative for stuff ur not suposed to do on here. like requesting a leaked song (thats what i did my first day here and i have -1!!) so yeah shuld read the rules first :hihi:



EDIT: lets stay on topic ;)

Sounds pretty cool, Bumblefoot keeps on going up in my estimation!!!
Axl against they skyline sounds pretty cool too!!

It's getting really boring whinning about the solos and the jams...

That's the way it is, like it or not, it won't change.

Your only option is not to attend a show.

Constant crying won't change anything...

I have never posted about not having updates before. you must have me confused with someone else. ?I was just giving an opinion , I wasn't telling people what they should or should not do, it's just that these threads have become redundant. ?I ?am not putting anyone down . ? Some of you have to chill out.

And dont forget dont read the set list threads

haha okey.. but how do i get i good karma?..
sorry i'm off topic.. i know i was bitching about people off topic before....

you don't get good karma...

that is, unless your anythinggoes  ;)

lol, but go to the admistritive forum and youll see a topic about that.

you get karma points by swinging by Axl's nuts with your teeth.

or trash's, i mean slash's..

(start the flaming)

End of show bumblefoot came down into audience

okey.. sorry if we were "putting you down".. but it's kinda annoyong when people start bitching about things like that..

So I'll take it that this is the setlist:

Or did i miss something

you get minus karma points by making rediculous statements over and over. Not exactly by complaining. However if 'complaining' makes it into 'moaning', well you get the picture.   :P

perfect timing... 15 minutes before official end... seems like another cool show... thanks to anythinggoes and to You Christos!

To all others... Good Fuckin Night!

That are the negative karma points, but how about positive karma points??

so i should suck his cock? hahaha. well i wouldn't do that for free or just getting better karma haha.. not even if he just happens to be my biggest idol (or whateva you say in english) haha

Yes you did since all the jams and shit are being added to the list why not add the band introductions a little more material about what people can bitch about : ok:

indeed, thanks to anythinggoes and Christos for keeping us up to date

fuckin loads of pictures will post them in the mornin when i get home some good ones there show was fuckin amazin nearly as good as hammersmith

were the fans  supportive??

Thanks .Seal

thanks for all Christos AG & Anythinggoes, good night  ;)

yeah haha.. and when we are talking about more shit we can add to the list we can take all the things axl is saying in between songs..

Thank you so much Christos and anythinggoes!! Sounds like it was awesome and I love hearing the inbetween things that they say on stage ;D

off topic........

how many gigs have you been to christos?

Lol :rofl:

That way you could get an impressive setist, i mean in number of songs, rants etc.

Setlist keeps getting worse and worse.....

I don't know why he doesn't put in Chinese Democracy, There was a time, and I.R.S and take out three oldies... that would at least make 6 new songs a show..

Best setlist so far was the first night at Hammerstein.

Agreed

But i also loved the "I feel good" part at RIR

Well, I saw them twice in 2002, and I saw them in Madrid and Lisbon a couple of weeks ago.

I'll also be in London for the 2 shows in the end of July.

I'm hearing they might add a show in Greece from some people here but nothing is for sure, so it'll be a total of 6 shows in 4 years...

yeah it would have been like 30-40 "songs" on the setlist.. instead of only the 15 real songs that there are on the show if you know what i mean.... haha

so no IRS and no chinese democracy on this show then... great setlist other then that.. those 2 are two of my favourite song of the new ones just after "better"

Thats mean that you were never at Old GNR show ::)

Einstein!

I guess something is missing from the set list ?:-\

no knockin on heavens door ??? ::)

No Sklodowska  :hihi:

I think you've missed KOHD...

1.Welcome To The Jungle
2.It's So Easy

Well, I'm 29. I've been a fan since 1988. I never had the luck of experiencing an old GNR gig. Is that a crime?  ::)

sure he was... he saw them way back when bucket was in the band

No, it's not, but i was and i'm 30.

Thanks for re-doing the setlist Christos!

i made a lot of mistakes

 :(

I am 28, male and no I wasn't... :P

I think Axl should play metallica's setlist on sunday ?, maybe some of you will be happy. ? Stop complaining about the freakin setlist, it's not going to change until the album is released . ?90% of the concert goers have never heard the new songs that are being played ?and they are there to see the oldies . ? They would be pissed if Axl played a set full of new songs. ? He's doing the right thing. ? AS long as he keeps his word ?and releases the album this fall ?I have no problem with what he is doing right now.

No problem...

I'm glad some enjoyed the updates...

I missed the whole second world cup game to do this...

ah don't worry... there are almost more worldcup games than GNR shows on this Tour... actually worldcup is happening more often than GNR Tour... :hihi:

Both games sucked anyway . You didn't miss much. ?I only care about watching the USA( my country) Brasil and Italia ? .

What is the setlist correct?

The first game had 6 goals, and the first and last goals of Germany were awesome...

Equador - Poland 2:0.

Didn't it end 3-2 for Germany? And I agree with you on that but you got to admit that the 2nd goal of Ger was also very beautiful  ;)

so this thread is for the world cup and not for the Dublin concert any more ?:rofl:

maybe so ?, ?But unless you are a fan of those countries ?I don't think it's exciting watching a game ?when you already know who is going to win . ?I don't think anyone in their right mind thought Costa rica had a chance in that game . ?

Football is always intresting if there's some quality on the field. : ok:

Bastian Schweinsteiger is really good!!! : ok:

Here in the states the press has been talking about how European soccer is nothing but of bunch of racist bigots. They talked about how some of the fans are nazi's ?and do the hitler hand gesture ?when their team scores a goal ?and the player acknowledges them by giving them the hand gesture . ?I saw how the fans throw bananas on the field ?and call the black players monkeys . ?It is no secret the European soccer is nothing but racism ?and it's sad how FIFA turns the cheek and doesn't do anything about it.

If you had to post the updates and in the same time delete over 60-70 posts (one every 15 seconds) by one single asshole, you'd be talking about the world cup in this thread...  ;)

No. The fourth German goal was an absoloute belter!


Spoken like a true North American. Stick to the hoops and your football. You're keen on the Italians on history alone, their squad isn't that great this time around.

Now enough football,

if you want any more, have a gander in Fun and Games.

In the states you thought the were weapons of massive destruction in Iraq...

swigntrader, you are a moron of the highest order. usually i dont just insult someone, but you are an idiot. and i dont mean that euphamistically, i literally mean your intelligence is well sub par.

oh, and soccer is the most played sport in the us so have fan when your fellow yanks become right wing xenophobes and racists. hold on......

......... whats with all this... monkey talk?  :-[

Now this is a post that could win you a negative karma.

I'll warn everybody right now.

From now on, it's neg karma at once, and you've seen where that leads you...

I am keen on Italia ?because ?I happen to be half Italian ?. ? I have watched every single World Cup ?since 1986 ?and I follow south american and european soccer at times . ? By the way ?my favorite sport is baseball. ?I l;ove the yankees ?and attend Yankee Stadium about 30 times a season. ?I don't really care for basketball ?and the NFL is cool in the playoffs ?but I am not a fanatic.

I suppose that should be negative karma. But hey, I'm sure that we can make an exception, when you're right..........

( :nervous:)

I think I just exposed one of the nazi fans . lol   Why so defensive??  I have many European friends  that agree  with the racist  situation in European soccer.

and who the fuck are you talking like that about the worlds biggets sport? huh... just because USA are lousy when it comes to soccer.. freddy adu (or whateva his name is) USA:s most talented player even isn't in your team.. and he was born in nigeria.. your country don't have any good players...

SWEDEN!!!

Dublin Download RDS 9 June 2006 )

Yeah, we hate black people. They're black, not white, and we all know Europeans hate black people.  ::)

And as we all know, the KKK started in Europe...   ::)

We don't care if it is the most famous sport in the world. ?i wasn't bashing the game I was pointing out ?what goes on in European soccer and their fans . ? ?

:rofl: :rofl:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/05/0502_060502_geography.html

There must be some info missing in your end Swingtrader..


 :hihi:

This thread has officially gone to shit.

it is really sad that every single f. time a GNR show is spoiled by unneccessary discussions... it is a world wide web and of all the message boards on the internet, this is one... discussing GNR

.... the mods arent really helping either. W ?T ?F. you know what?! lock thread! ?:rofl:
peace.

p.s.
what ever happened to deleting posts and what not?

Good idea, let's stick to the thread, even though it was just for updates...

oh my love... don t get mad with me... ?:love:
I will cook for you next weekend ?:rofl:

Listen up idiots , ? learn to read ?before ?posting, ?my parents are European I am not bashing Europe ?I was just talking about the European league ?and what goes on with it's fans ? that is all. ?Why do you have to make this a USA vs. Europe discussion.

fuck now i really wanna talk about the world cup..

too much off topic.....

I'll believe you when I eat it...



Well, I'm sorry but I can't read shit after all the shitty posts I had to delete tonight.

Anyway, I think it's time to lock this one, it was just for updates anyway, and it's gone to hell, my fault as well...

Sorry everyone.

Good move Dionysus.

No, wait...

You're more of a Poseidon.

My cursor was over lock. You just beat me.

(Seriously......)

Stop posting here, it's locked...  :P

What a concert, I was only about 5 feet away from the band.

Firstly Lauren Harris, Bullet for My Valentine and Funeral For a Friend all sucked ass, the crowd was really small for them and people were flipping them off.

Guns were on time to my shock opened with the usual Jungle, easy, Brownstone, crowd was nuts best concert crowd I have ever seen, Axl wore an Irish flag for one song and was in great humour joking around with the band, get remember the exact setlist as I was going insane all concert. Axl's voice and performance outshined everyone else, Bach was unreal on My Michelle was hoping he'd get up for Nightrain as well, no Rocket Queen, Chinese Democracy or I.R.S which was dissapointing cause I was really hoping to mosh out to C.D.

As for the band they were excellent, people around me even started a "who needs Slash chant", Finck was cool moshed with the front row during Paradise City, I think I still have some of his hair, he was the man all night when he was introduced he got the 3rd best reaction after Axl and Dizzy, the crowd loved him, Fortus did his job well, people really think he is Izzy, good solo as well, didnt rock out enough for me. Bumblefoot was first class he really moves around the stage well and played with alot of emotion which I really like, he had the crowd going with a Dont Cry Solo which was cool. Brain was spot on while Dizzy was Dizzy.

They played Better, Madagascar and The Blues, Better went down the best especially the metal middle bit had the crowd moshing along, Axl ran past the crowd and shock hands with the girl in front of me during Madagascar I was sickened I was 20 inches away from touching axl.

All in all a great gig 10/10 and now I have got to go back to Dublin to see Alice in Chains and Metallica tomorrow.

sorry its sort of related

 :smoking:
A good gig!

1. WeLcome to the Jungle
2.It's so easy
3. Mr Brownstone.
4. Live & Let Die
5. Knockin on Heaven's Door
6. Robin Solo & Sweet Child O Mine
7. Out Ta Get me
8. Dizzy Solo & The Blues

12. Axl jam and Novmber Rain.
13.Richard Solo and Better.
14. My Michelle with Seb Bach.
15. Patience.
16. Paradise City.

The Band arrived on time, which was a surprise. This was also the same case in Slane 1992. Axl Remarked about the sun and joked that he was melting.
The curfew meant that we got a shorter gig than others such as Milan. No Rocket Queen or IRS.

I prefered Milan, as smaller venues tend to have better sound quality and less noisy drunken Irish TWATS. (some girls who kept talking and shouting during the gig).

The onstage banter was funny. Now just release Chinese Democracy!!

How many sober Irish people do you know then?  :rofl:

The guy who posted the setlist was slightly wrong. It was more like this.

1. Welcome to the Jungle
2. It's so easy
3. Mr Brownstone.
4. Live & Let Die
5. Knockin on Heaven's Door
6. Fortus Solo/Beautiful
7. Out Ta Get me
8. Dizzy Solo & The Blues
9.Bumble foot solo and Don't Cry Instrumental.
10.You could be Mine
11.Robin Solo & Sweet Child O Mine
12.Axl jam and Novmber Rain.
13.Better.
14.Madagascar
15. Patience
16. My Michelle with Seb Bach.
17. Nightrain
18. Band Introductions/Robin Solo/Paradise City

I'm not sure which was first Patience or My Michelle. Everyone else in the thread is saying My Michelle was before Patience, but I thought it was Patience, I can't really remember.

I was waiting to get into the pit from about 11 and met some cool people. Some people were wearing VR t-shirts and one had a Slash's Snakepit. I don't think they were trying to annoy anyone, they just thought they were going to a GnR gig so I'll wear a GnR-related t-shirt. The doors finally opened at half 3 half an hour later than planned. Bullet For My Valentine went on half an hour late so I thought everyone would be half an hour late. So I went to see Therapy? on the second stage assuming they would be finished before GnR arrived. But then he made an? announcement that incredibly Axl has arrived on time but thanks if you stay to see us instead. Yeah Right! We ran off and realised we had missed the first two songs. Grr!! The one time I was late for a gig is the one time Axl turned up on time. Murphy's law is alive and well. I was sickened! I didn't think he would start playing in the sunshine. This was one of the earliest starting times for a GnR gig as well. Anyway Live And Let Die rocked, I was never its biggest fan and thought it should be dropped before the gig, but it was amazing live. Everyone moshing during the riff. I was burnt to a crisp at this point depite tonnes of sun cream and rubbing off other people hurt but I didn't care. There were also lots of cool fire pyrotechnics during LALD. As if it wasn't hot enough! Knockin On' Heaven's Door was ok but towards the end someone through on an Irish flag with GnR written on it. I remember one of the people I was waiting in the queue for the pit with had that! Anyway Axl wore it for the rest of the song. He made reference at one point to the Fighting Fuckin' Irish. He said he was melting in the sun. He said he wasn't used to being out at this time! When was the last time Axl played a gig in the sunshine at an open-air concert?

Richard's solo was just a shredfest and Beautiful was good but kinda pointless. Went on too long. Nobody seemed to recognise or care. OTGM was great with some mad Bumblefoot soloing. Dizzy's solo was boring. The Blues was ok but I miss the 2002 version. Axl made a mistake towards the end starting the last verse too early. He went "What this means to meeeeeee". He dragged out the me part to make it seem like it was part of the song when he realised he entered too early! Nobody noticed coz nobody knew the song. Bumblefoot done some of his shred tricks on a les paul before changing to his bumblefoot guitar. Some people were singing along to Don't Cry. It was kind of cool and he done most of the song including his version of Slash's solo. You Could Be Mine was great, Robin's solo was pointless again but the crowd lost their mind when he played the opening notes of SCOM. The solo rocked. November Rain was great too. Better and Madagascar are my two favourite new songs and both songs were amazing especially the bridge in better and the quotes part in Madagascar. After better one guy behind me said that must be a new song it was fucking brilliant. I can only imagine what it was like hearing these two songs for the first time! During Madagascar he started shaking hands with the front. I was only short distance away but couldn't reach him. Oh well! Before Patience he said "We're gonna play an acoustic song now and I hope I don't fuck it up". He introduced Sebastian Bach who touched Stinson on the ass when he came on which was funny. Bach asked "Have you guys got an Appetite For Destruction?" My Michelle and Nightrain were amazing.? I was hoping with the early start at 8 and that the curfew was at 11 we are in for an extra-long encore with some more new songs especially There Was A Time. Or maybe he'd play Rocket Queen. It wasn't to be he came on introduced the band, Robin Finck did a short, pointless solo and then the amazing Paradise City! Gig over around 10.15.

Going home a lot of people were dissapointed. They said that there were two many breaks in the first half of the concert. By breaks they were obviously referring to the solos. They clearly weren't impressed if they were calling them breaks. I thought they were good coz I play guitar and appreciated the musicianship and especially enjoyed Bumblefoot's solo but I guess if you don't play an instrument all the keyboard and guitar solos would be pretty boring. And that is what everyone thought. It was dissapointing for me coming home from a?gig I enjoyed so much and so many people, especially the girls saying it was shit, but I know they where they were coming from.They thought it was bad value for money. And it's not just the solos i mentioned in the setlist. They're were lots of breaks between songs where the band were just messing around for ages! The new band don't have to prove themselves with the solos. In fact it made them look worse coz most people were bored. Everyone there was open-minded and were there to see the band do their thing-rock out the GnR catalog with a few new songs. Not hear Christina Aguilera!
Incidentally I personally wanted to hear more new songs but I think 3 songs was about right because nobody knew them! Still I would have rathered have heard There Was A Time than one of the solos. Thing is that song has a really long solo, so Axl still has plenty of time to dissappear and use his oxygen mask. Much rather hear that song than Beautiful, but there you go.

Still, overall I was pleased, I thought the gig was amazing!

i'm glad because you had a great time

how many people were there??

fukin awsome show!!!!!!  :beer:

got pretty much near the front dead centre.the whole band sounded PERRRRRRFECT!!!  :yes:

met up with some board members includin nicknasty:chinese stew,jarmo,adz,will,strose and bonbon.  : ok: all very sound guys may i add  :beer:

i wasnt a fan of hearing better live off the bootlegs ive heard but after hearin it last night live,its become one of my fav live songs!

only just got home after a 33 hour long treck accross north wales and ireland so ill post my pics and review monday as ive gotta get my shit ready for donnington download festival now (leavin at 4am so i neeeeeed sleeeep  :drool: )  :peace:

missed first 3 or 4 songs - what the hell is axl doing going on at the appointed time?! eejit.

but he was in terrific fettle. arrived for knocking on heavens door which wasnt the best version, it was too close to uyi and live era versions rather than budapest version which i found far closer in proximity to dylans original - and all the better for it. but as noted before, axl joked with the crowd about not usually being up at this time or seeing the sunshine. wrapped a tricolour around him for the final few minutes of the tune. after that its kind of a daze. you could be mine was dispensed with like a bullet, the blues hit and miss. sweet child for once managed to transcend its familiarity to really hit home, out ta get me, nightrain and my michelle (which bach and axl absolutely nailed, contrary to reports from the ny shows, trading not only lines but inidividual words of the lyrics - bach was his brilliant goofey self and axls 'future cellmate') would have been songs of the night for any other show. patience arrived like sucker punch. for me its the first time its ever really hit home and it was just one of those moments where axl reaches in and rips your heart out - the clear blue sky and a monumentally beautiful song really completely drained me. or so i thought, for the song of the night was undoubtably madagascar. better was given a deservedly warm welcome too, but it was madagascar which almost everyone with me realised made it more than anything else.

though there were a few dissenting voices over the solos, the majority seemed to come away converted, full of praise for fotus especially (who really blew me away too).
the band looked much happier and together than with bucket in 2002. grouping together often to play off of each other.

the only real problem is that there was no real way to satisfy the appetite of the crowd. everyone (or rather, everyone irish) ive talked to after the show were left looking towards their UK arena shows later in the summer. if axl hadda played for another two hours it still wouldnt have been enough. while he no doubt made up for the 14 years since slane, there is still an hunger for more of him from the irish crowd - because he was that good.

and for those that havent had the joy of seeing axl this time around, can i just say tht his voice is absolutely majestic. think live like a suicide era. and he looks happy. and seems to be a fan of deal or no deal.

great show. a few minor complaints that you have to take (the unpredictability of actually starting on time, the extended jams and though they're improving, the band are still pretty faceless and attitudeless), but it was a show that delievered and left people pitying those poor souls across town stuck watching robbie williams trying to descend to stage in a canoe or some bullshit.

oh, and about that complaint about the band - the problems are really with how they represent themselves as personalitys. theyre playing is immense. they sound incredibly raw, yet still incredibly powerful and huge.

just dont leave it 14years to come back you fuck.

Awesome show.

Being in the daylight made it more special everything felt different but it was nice.

Axl jumping off the stage to run in the photo pit for madagascar, Robin & Ron playing their solos in either Nightrain or Paradise City (I can't remember which) down there was cool too.

It sounded great, and for anyone who was wondering why KOHD went on so long, Axl had to change his shoes 'cause he was skidding around all over the place.. Hence his reference to 'ice skating' after It's So Easy.

Glad Bumblefoot played the longer version of Don't Cry, well worth it.

Oh, and watching Richard sing along to Out Ta Get Me was awesome as well.

You can tell the whole band were happy, and that's what makes it a good show, it was just intense.

Just getting out of bed now, was a phenomenal show, still cant believe I saw Axl in the flesh, the band is cohesive and they work very well, and Axl himself, better than ever, it was incredible, I still cant get over how well he sounded. Better sounded amazing.

glad you enjoyed it over here

i was the chap sitting beside you in the taxi on the way to bellamys  :o

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Dublin is one of the best cities I've been to, it's gorgeous.

thats cause it wasnt raining!

but yea, it was a terrific day in dublin yesterday. well, in the ballsbridge/rds area. fantastic atmosphere and no trouble. great day all round - particularly as i missed funeral for a friend/bullet for my valentine.

The show was awsome, me and friends were at the very front along the rail, and had a great view. When Axl ran past all the fans during Madagascar me and my friends were lucky enough to slap his hands which was well cool, and also one of my mates took bumblefoots hat off when he was letting the crowd play his guitar during Paradise. He gave it back though :). Then today the same friend met Bumblefoot, Robin, Richard and Brain in Dublin centre and chattered to them about the show..Im a wee bit jealous. But all round was a great day and a great show..Look forward to the Manchester show now.

well if you check the photo uploads i posted this mornin you will see bumble with his hat then it being given back to him its blurred but you may see yourself its a big upload at 55mb but worth it or failin that when i get back to the real world on monday/tuesday i will upload the good ones individually

Thanks anythinggoes, ag  and everyone for the reviews.

I enjoy hearing any titbit.

video of this show anyone???

it was unbelievable! my vocals are fucked today. My throat hurts so much. I was the only person about me singing along to better, madagascar and the blues and i got some really weird looks. its was class....every other band that played sucked. Lauren Harris was incredibly hot!

thx a lot! great pics and videos! u were very close to axl! congrats :peace: : ok:

Had a great time in Dublin. Nice place, great people.

Nice to meet all of you at Bruxelles and Bellamys before the gig.


The show was amazing. Hammersmith was so amazing and I never thought they would even be close to that, but Dublin was amazing as well. It's impossible to compare two different shows, both were amazing for different reasons. Seeing the band in daylight was very cool. You don't get the light show you might get in the dark, instead you get all that natural light.


Robin played "Finlandia" again which was nice.

I'm still recovering from this trip, so more notes coming.....




/jarmo

I saw some people wearing here today... t shirts actually! been using this site for years but just for news and only joined the forum recently and i thoguht it was pretty cool.

Just wanted to say hello to the lady who said nice shirt to me refering to my HTGTH one as you was wearing the same one it was around 10.45 outside RDS i was walking one way you was walking other  :)

Terribly jet-lagged at the moment.

wanted to post though and say it was nice to put faces to names and converse with a few of folks here. the city was hella fun and the show was simply amazing--axl is back...and this band has chemistry and energy that go far beyond the 2002 incarnation.

i'll put a full review up later on. off to bed.

Here's a short Video of the Crowds Reaction to Sweet Child of Mine  :peace:

well,

guns are back!!!!

the concert was excellent, yes there were solo's etc. but most people there seemed ok with it.

the performance was way better than 2002. The sound was excellent on the pitch and it had a surreal feeling to it with the sunshine etc.

like most people i ended only catching the end of WTTJ. i think patience, november and paradise went down the best.

Axl seemed to be in good spirits. he is in great shape and sounded good.

all in all for 65 euro it was a great night and i hope they come back soon,

rock on mr Axl rose!

anythinggoes? That was me  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Just return from across the Pond from Ireland to the US.   It was truly an  amazing concert.  The whole band just seemed like a complete unit.  I really impressed with Finck...he was just out of this world IMO. 

All the complaining with Axl out of breath at previous concerts....I didn't see it here.   He looked and sounded great.....better than '93 when I saw them.  Only flub was on "the Blues" when he came in a little early but he seemed to joke around with it after the song.

The crowd was just buzzing the whole time and even after the concert.   It is something I will never forget.

just thought id share a pic of my accomadation at dublin,really cosy? :hihi:

You're lucky the weather was great! I really enjoyed my trip to Dublin and the concert. I crashed at my brothers appartment. He lives about 15 - 20 min from the RDS arena, thanks bro!
I couldn't believe how many people wore GN'R shirts in the center of Dublin all weekend, GN'R has such a amazing fanbase.

I'll post more later.

I just came back home from Ireland, I don't really know what to say right now, it was so goddamn awesome.

I will write a review later, I'm too tired and pissed from the trip home to write one right now.

I started my review in French on my site. I'll post it in English if needed.

Btw, for those who never used pics on my site, "Plein ?cran" means "Full screen".

What a brilliant concert.....although I missed the first 20 or so minutes due to the band actually coming on early....Was still having a drink when what do we hear only the opening strains of Welcome To The Jungle..Fantastic show....equally on a par with the Slane Gig..Also added bonus got to meet messrs Reed, Finck and Stinson later in the evening....
