[UPDATES] April 16, 2016 ? Coachella, Weekend 1

[damnthehaters]

Can't help but think deciding to play Coachella wasnt a great idea.

Most of the reviews i have read have been particularly scathing of GNR. Most of it absolute crap..

It's rather obvious that most of the writers already have their opinions on what they like and dont like, so GNR were always going to come in for some crap.

I'm just not sure it was worth it.

FWIW.. ill be happy when Coachella is over for GNR and they can get back out and play to their own fans who actually appreciate them in an environment that suits both the band and the fans.

Just my 2 cents.
 

Coachella will gain more interest than you think.  Even if you reach 1/3 of the younger crowds, it's worth it.  Can keep the band relevant.  Also, I'm seeing much more positive than negative.

I havent found a positive one yet.

I read the Daily Beast one.. and i just shook my head.... it's just lame ass pot-shotting because they can.. .which brings me back to my previous point.. i dont think Guns needed Coachella...

As i said though.. thats just my opinion.. fwiw.

Nah coachella is a great idea. Forcing the name and the band back out there. Right in your face. Like it or not. Fuck e erybod else.

Don't feed the ignorant egos of the negative trolls......


Any true hard rock fan would appreciate GnFnR's Coachella performance and an appearance by none other than Angus "High Voltage" Young. Angus and Slash together on stage. Come the fuck on now. Mother. Fuckin. Legendary.


And NOW for some POSITIVETY.......

The positive reviews keep rolling in..

Axl Rose is the biggest baddest motherfucking rock star of all time.

Cheers to him !

I can't wait to see him rock out with Angus at Madison Square Garden.

Slash , Duff and the rest of the band sound amazing.

If three years ago you told me Slash was back with Axl and Axl was fronting ACDC .... you would get laughed at just a little ...

What a time.

Yes, yes, yes.....wickedly well said. Cheers!

I took what I thought content to now, and I created a Bootleg Audio.
The audio quality varies , because I got to from various sources.

[Axlfreek]

Just listened to Coma ... Axls voice is awesome - wouldn?t have expected that due to his age! Can?t wait for some proshots from the coming shows

wttj sounded great. reminded me of the ritz peformance they did in 88'

[Spirit]

Josh is friends with pretty much everyone in GN'R.

Not sure if he ever crossed paths with Richard and Frank, did he?

It reminds me, I missed his set with the Vandals on the stream...

A long long time ago, circa 2000.. I used to have a brazilian GNR site! Josh was on the drums, and it was really hard find pics of him at the time..you know

Is that cause you're not looking that hard?  It seems that there are several positive reviews of the show. 

[D-GenerationX]

I didn't see my first negative on until this morning, LA Times.

Even they didn't kill them.  Just sort of harped on how they were old and not crazy anymore, and actually realiable.

Isn't that a good thing?

Yes, I totally agree!!!
Spent most of my day yesterday watching Coachella videos of Ice Cube and GNR!!

[bombom]

Zoinks! Axl singing Whole Lotta Rosie was surprisingly good.  Better than I would have thought. 

It'll be interesting to see what he sounds like with the rest of the songs when the AXL/DC concerts kick off!

I know it's a little off topic but I'm dreaming with Axl singing You Shook Me All Night Long.
