10 June 2007 Perth- Update Thread

[Blackrose]

I will be receiveing updates for this show thanks to Dead N' Bloated?

All updates will be placed in this opening post as they are received.

Here is a countdown timer to 10pm Perth time. I'm not saying GN'R will be on at 10pm, this is just so everyone can roughly work out how long to the show no matter where they are in the world.

I'll post the pics there: http://www.gnrfrance.net/groupe/galerie.php?path=/concerts/2007/australia/0610_perth

[GypsySoul]

WTF Will??  I thought you volunteering to post the pics sent to you meant you'd actually be posting them on THIS board. 

[Will]

WTF yourself? Come on, that was NOT necessary...anyway

Here they are:















And FYI, I posted my link because it was easier for me. Anyway you have the pics now in the thread. Thanks for the cheap shot, I'm used to fuckin the fans over.

[AdZ]

miaow.

[SLCPUNK]

WTF Will??  I thought you volunteering to post the pics sent to you meant you'd actually be posting them on THIS board. 

Technically he still did post them here.

[sexkitten]

[horsey]

i don't know the time diference from philly n' there.

[GNRVahland]

Still to come :

Madagascar
(Chinese democracy)
Paradise city

[Will]

I'd say about 12hrs. So if it's 1PM in Philly, it'd be 1AM in Perth. I didn't check the world clock though, but it should be pretty close.

[horsey]

oh thanks '

[Will]

Hmmm...I don't know, I didn't get any pics or anything for a while, because of security I'm guessing. Thanks williambailey for the updates though!

[leatherebel]

Thanks for the updates williambailey and sexkitten!

[jarmo]

[BurningHills]

[chineseblues]

Thanks everyone for the updates and Will for posting the pics!

[ibelieveinaxl]

Still to come :

Madagascar
(Chinese democracy)
Paradise city

wow...too bad it didnt happen that way...

[Mustapha]

They keep on shortening the setlist...

[gnr-4-ever]

Thanks for all the updates! Too bad they didn't play CD...

[RnT]

Axl didnt say anything about the album ?
 

[guns_n_motley]

Thanks for all the updates! Too bad they didn't play CD...

no cd or madagascar?

[BurningHills]

Thanks for all the updates! Too bad they didn't play CD...

no cd or madagascar?

Apparently not.

[gnr-4-ever]

Axl didnt say anything about the album ?
 

Well the people who sent updates didn't say anything about it so...

[Limulus]

wow, no "nice boys" with rose tatto (and baz maybe)?? surprise, surprise....

[guns_n_motley]

wow, no "nice boys" with rose tatto (and baz maybe)?? surprise, surprise....

might happen at one of the other shows. who knows

[droezle]

Thanx for the updates. Too bad they didn't play any new songs.

[Will]

Yes, they still have a few dates in Australia...

[RJ1221]

ok,  i can live with no new songs that we havent heard, but they should be playing ALL the new one's we've already heard, especially CD and Madagascar

[RJ1221]

wow, no "nice boys" with rose tatto (and baz maybe)?? surprise, surprise....

rose tattoo played it during their set...whenever they don't play it, it should be alittle foreshadowing, and i would expect them to pay with wth GN'R

[kuetastic]

I'll be pretty disappointed not to hear Madagascar on Wednesday if they leave it out but I'm hoping the reviews from Perth are going to great in terms of everything else excluding the left out songs. They seemed to hit the stage early so it makes it harder to understand why they wouldn't promote with at least one of them two tracks. Oh well.

well, as for us internet nerds (die hards) the setlist doesnt make sense...but, these people (id say most of them) arent familiar with the new band and songs and thats why they get the old stuff....

[slashvr86]

just got home from the show was prety nuts. Was a great show and Axl was in fine form i was 3 people from the front the whole time. wasnt really into the blues or irs but better is a great song live. i was surprised they just been playin alot of appetite for destruction songs and hardly nething off the illusions albums

[DarkFairy]

did Axl talk anything interesting or funny?

love the timezone difference now, not having to stay up all night! 

thanks for the updates people

That's right, but a lot of the fans who attend the shows do follow the band through htgth or other boards and do know the new songs, do know the new members and do want to hear the new stuff. Who do they always play the same old songs when they should show that the new band can write music aswell?!?

hey there. glad you liked the show..did the crowd know the "new" songs and what about the "new" members (only 10 years or so in the band)?

100% agreed...

[slashvr86]

urm not much of the crowd knew the newer songs but a few ppl were singing better around me and irs and they were received pretty well but the blues wasnt that great pretty boring. most people knew there was new band members but didnt realy know much about em. i think fink is a great player and so is fortus but bumblefoot and fortus were a bit overindulgent in there solos but i really like bumblefoots version of dont cry was really cool

[kuetastic]

[slashvr86]

i dont know if it was mentioned but dizzy played the rolling stones angie and had a jam on the song Lowrider which was cool
oh and it was fuken great to see Sebastian bach even tho half the crowd knew fuk all skid row songs was disappointed in them but was awesome to see him and axl sing my michelle, i will never forget that

[BurningHills]

According to mygnr, Axl and Bubbles did Liquor and Whores! 

[guns_n_motley]

did axl say anything to the crowd??

[slashvr86]

wen he was introducing bubbles he told us a story about the mexico shows they just played about how bubbles knew a guy down there so he was gonna fly in and apparently axls assistant said between 3 of them they 6 tequila bottles and that he hardly remembers the mexico show and that between songs hed go throw up and then go back and sing sum songs haha

[Evil Ash]

FUCK, doesn't bubbles sound like the coolest muthafucka there is??

I can't even imagine him getting drunk with axl 

[RJ1221]

[guns_n_motley]

ya know, its good to hear Axl sounding happy. I think having Bubbles and Baz around are good for him!!

[HBK]

This Show Was SOLD OUT.

 

HBK *

[Will]

Was GunnerDownUnder there too? I know he's been here forever and he's a big fan of the new lineup so I'd love to hear his feedback of the show if he was there! Glad for you anyways down unders...

[waxlrick]

Thanks guys - no Madagascar again?

I cant believe they didnt play it again? That is fucked!

[odd1]

Mayby they dont wanna play to many new songs before CD is released.

(which means we may never again hear madagascar live)

[gnrfresh]

Thanks guys - no Madagascar again?

I cant believe they didnt play it again? That is fucked!

Yeah its a great song!

I'm going to Adelaide and the 2 Melbourne shows so Im hoping to here it there and would love it if the did Rocket Queen and Chinese Democracy.

I know alot of ppl bitch about the lack of change in the set list but for someone who was too young to have seen GnR back in 93- I cant wait to hear those songs live personaly and I think the main stream crowd would be dissapointed if they didnt hear 'the hits'.

[williambailey]

Well, just got out of bed (for work damn it), it was a bloody great show.  I have a heap more pics to upload (I was emailing em thru as I took em, but unfortunately to the wrong address all the gnr ones) but I'll try and get em up today.

I'll also try and do a bit of a review if people want when I get a couple of secs.

[waxlrick]

Hey man pity you guys aren't on the Queens Birthday public Holiday like the rest of the country.

[kuetastic]

[horsey]

[kuetastic]

Haha, but you have no problem with the dying part? 

I make no promises, its a solid set list...so to speak.

Does anyone from the Perth show have an opinion on why Chi Dem and Maddy were left out? Timing or choice. etc.

[Billo]

Awesome review... Im going to see them for the first time at melb on Friday.. What time did Rose and Baz and Guns each start??

[fortus07]

Haha. When I saw the first pic that will posted of th bald guy, I thought Axe got a haircut for a second.

[Gunner_Rose]

It was a nice setlist 

[stolat]

Haha. When I saw the first pic that will posted of th bald guy, I thought Axe got a haircut for a second.

That's Angry Anderson of Rose Tattoo

[PhillyRiot]

If you watch the rant at the end of this video, listen to Axl's comments on using a stabdard setlist.

[kuetastic]

Yes we seen it the last three times you posted it here, not to mention elsewhere.

I think the argument is for adding two extra songs into the show not that the songs used are sub-standard buddy.

[Tynia]

I'm catching up with previous shows of the Aussie tour and here what a story? ?

Axl, next time remember to take some nice chicks with you, when you plan to drink TEQUILA?
Body shots will provide you more pleasure from drinking it? and your head probably won't be in such a bad condition the day after?
