VR better than GNR live: My Maxim Bash review

[D]

my fault i read what u were saying wrong about rather supporting dependable bands

u were speakin of VR my fault, the way i read it, i misunderstood it and took it as any band as long as they were dependable


youre a lil girl is pretty corny! cmon!

i dont mind waiting as im very patient so ill still take axl over VR even though VR are awesome, ive never seen axl b4 live and i wouldnt miss it no matter how long i had to wait

[Dizzy]

And please dont call me God, I know you worship me

Dream on, chap.  Never will there be a day when Dizzy worships one who massacres proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation worse than Robin Finck massacres Slash's solos.

Ah but there will be a day when that freak robin has his own guitar solos and his poster with the text GUNS N ROSES, is hanging above the beds of all the fellow younggunners that will soon roam the earth.

I hope they who follow thy leader of the youngunners continue the spirit conveyed by thy leader and rise up and form a new generation of message board members. They will learn from thy mistakes. Afterall it was I of the younggunenr breed, to first roam the wilderness unaware of the community in which set foot, unaware of the rules and regulations, and mostly unaware of all the lil girls that roam this wilderness how easily they are offended and quickly to critisize. My followers will show the world that all younggunners can not only continue the spirit but take the time to spell and articulate thy message to fellow bitter confused neighbors, unlike thy leader who offers his good spirits into the fire without making it look pretty for fellow peasants. Long live the spirit of the younggunners.

Pardon the oxymoron, but that was very creative drivel.  

[younggunner]

As I said, Dream on chap.

In the land of GNR, dreams are usually late but they always come true

Pardon the oxymoron, but that was very creative drivel.

Throw in a lil nightrain and other beverages and thy God of Dizzy can take you on a lil journey as he shares his prophecies. Even though you are a bitter old man, the younggunner community accepts and embraces all with open arms, including you. FOr you have already stated you worship me and occasionally request for my spirit to help guide you. Although you are not a strong canidate for the community the gate is open for you to join before the masses come when they gift is dropped on the world by thy force name GNR.

[K-Rock]

Although you are not a strong canidate for the community the gate is open for you to join before the masses come when they gift is dropped on the world by thy force name GNR.

FINALLY, November 2004!!!...........right??  Oh please say it's true....a real live album is coming in.....in......November??

         

[Dizzy]

Throw in a lil nightrain and other beverages

The only "Nightrain" I like is the song, and my beverage of choice is ice water.

and thy God of Dizzy can take you on a lil journey as he shares his prophecies.

Ah, so that means I get a free ticket to an Ozzy concert?

Even though you are a bitter old man, the younggunner community accepts and embraces all with open arms, including you.

Wow, should I thank them all for the favor?

FOr you have already stated you worship me.

Dreaming again, old son?

Although you are not a strong canidate for the community

Oh NOOOOO!  Me not a strong candidate for your little community!  HOW WILL I SLEEP AT NIGHT!

i just watched vr at newyork and it was a great show

they need to lose used to love her though and add in you got no right, use to love her sucked

rest of the show was cool

scott is offkey alot and the backup vocals are subpar

scott is amazing live, he has great moves and energy

inmy opinion the gnr boots from 2002 are head and shoulders better but VR are better than everyone else ive seen live except prince,bon jovi and RHCP but 5th isnt bad!

I haven't seen the VR NY show and I have seen multiple 2002 GNR boots.  Of what I saw......Chickenhead & Birdman aren't even in the same league as the performance Slash put on in Atlantic City.

Regardless.....to truly compare live performances you have to experience each act live, IMO.

As for Prince & Bon Jovi- wouldn't waste my time even commenting.

or 'early 2005'...  They had to take time off for 'ego management'.  

[D]

no u are right about slash, he destroys anything axl has in his band

Im just sayin if axl's vocals are a tad off like at the VMA's he gets castrated here, but scott was off key more than he was on and the backing vocals were pretty bad

scott is one helluva an entertainer, i was so fascinated with his slithering and dancing i think he is cool as fuck! i dont get people sayin he looks gay etc, i think he looks like one of the few true rock n roll frontman and rock stars

thats whats wrong with music today in my opinion, where are the rockstars?

look at hoobastank, they look like fratboys, nothin is less cool than some fratboy lookin dudes

i want Scott weiland,Axl type frontmen to come out! where are these guys hiding?

[Gunner80]

This is just one man's opinion, does it make it true? NO!

[mikegiuliana]

I see nothing wrong with the thread, it's just how someone feels, there are better shows then gnr, just look at tokyo, I remember seeing them in 92 on video and thinking they weren't near there best ,nothing like what paris is/was like.... Everyone should be entitled to their opinion on what their favorite show was.

[Krispy Kreme]

I have not seen GNR. I wish to God I had seen the original band. I have numerous VHS, DVD, VCD, etc.
I had tickets for 2002 show but my bud Axl saw fit not to arrive.
I did see VR in June 2004
Comparing DVDs and live (which I admit is not a fair comparison) I would take VR and Scot/Slash/Duff/Matt/Dave over Axl and his hired mates any day.

[aporro]

I feel all GNR fans should relax and enjoy VR without having such negative feelings towards comparisons of the two.  If someone feels that VR is better live....say it.  Who cares???  Guns is my favorite band but I'm diggin' VR also.  Open your eyes everyone, they may be the very best band out there.

[Rock the jungle]

I'll start by saying that this was the greatest live performance I have ever seen. ?I've been to over 20 rock concerts over the last 20-plus years. ?I've seen the best (Kiss, Van Halen, Ozzy, AC/DC, Metallica, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Rush, Judas Priest, etc.).

I've seen GN'R live 4 times:
- First in '88.
- Then once at the beginning of the UYI tour, months before both records were released.
- 2 more times during the UYI tour

I've watched countless GN'R concerts via video, TV and watched 2 performances from this 2002 tour via DVD.

Velvet Revolver blew the doors off of every other live performer.......yes including GN'R.

First off, Slash & Duff were sober. ?I've NEVER seen them rock like they did.

Matt was unbelievable. ?He's obviously spent the last 10 years getting MUCH better. ?Dave was the anchor.....rock solid all the way through.

Now Scott. ?My, my, my did he own that fuckin stage. ?I got a message for Axl........."You need to step it up a notch when you get back out there cuz Weiland moved & sang like no other. ?He outperformed you.......better than any performance I've seen you on."

The best way I can describe Scoot is that he slithered all over the fuckin place. ?The music pulsated through him.

Axl has always been my favorite since the first day I saw him. ?Amazingly....and I am shocked I'm saying this.........REALLY SHOCKED.......Scott is better live!!!. ?Scott Weiland has taken over the throne as best live frontman performer.

The order may be off but here's the set list:

Sucker Train Blues
Do It For The Kids
(cover) Sorry I don't know what song it was.....maybe Negative Creep or Bodies........."Coming Home" was in the chorus
Headspace
Illegal i Song
Fall To Pieces
It's So Easy
Big Machine
Set Me Free

Oncore:
Used To Love Her
Slither
Sex Type Thing

2nd Oncore:
Mr. Brownstone

Highlights:
An all-out jam session occured in the middle of Illegal i & Set Me Free.

At one point Slash walked over to Matt...gave him a signal, the walked over to the mic and did a 5-minute solo using the voice-box (I forget what it's called...somebody help me....he hummed into the mic during his solo). ?It was the best I've ever seen.

Slash was off on the first solo in Sucker Train Blues but NAILED EVERYONE AFTER THAT!!!

At the end of Set Me Free, Scott, Slash, Duff & Dave were all up front jamming. ?Scott was doing a free-style voice solo. ?AWESOME.

Slash even acknowledged how great the vibe was saying, "Man this is a great gig."

This concert was an all-out jam session that lasted 1 1/2 hours.....alot of it jamming outisde of the bodies of each song. ?Prior to Mr. Brownstone, Matt launced into the opening of You could Be Mine before opening up Mr. B.

Slash & Scott ineracted with the crowd speaking to them often. ?At one point Slash asked an audience member what his shirt ("Blame Canada") meant.

On a side note, the hottest women around were all over the ?place because of the model searches going on for Maxim & Stuff. ?There were countless famous people there. ?A WWE pro-wrestler (don't know his name) was there. ?I'm pretty sure I saw Dee Snider in the crowd.

Hands down the best rock concert I have ever seen.

P.S. ?Hoobastank was actually good. ?They rocked as well.

I think that Axl Rose is better than Weiland beacuse I think Mr. Weiland, have no own style, for me is a mix between Iggy Pop and Mick Jagger, I've seen VR in concert in Barcelona and it was very good they also played with Izzy on stage, was awesome. I liked to know your oppinion.

For the member Izzy from tihs message board, remember that the reason you're in this message board is for Guns N' Roses and 3/5 of VR are from Guns so it's a bit normal to have some comparisons. I hope you will understand that

You ruined your post with saying Hoobastank was good. Hoobasank was one of the worst bands I have ever seen. Their Guitarist is a fucking douche bag.

[mikegiuliana]

ive have seen new gnr and vr a few times.. Both concerts were good, but the enrgy with vr was un matched.. Really felt like stripped down rock, very fast pace action without the extra stuff.. But both are really good.. it could be I am just so use to knowing what gnr was and having grwon up with them it was a little harder to get into.. No matter what anyone thinks if you grew up on old gnr it's kind of hard seeing axl alone with some guys you don't know covering songs that you are so use to seeing other's playing..

Bah, thats a filthy lie, VR maybe good but damnit they will never be as good as you say they are. They are Nu-Metal

[Jamie]

Come on now. VR are far from nu-metal.
