GnR playing Bud Light Superbowl Music Fest, January 31st, 2020 in Miami

[PermissionToLand]

Love this band, but wow. ‘New chapter’ ‘New show’ you cant charge fans $$ and play the exact same show from the last 3 years whilst promoting otherwise. Utterly disappointed. Seriously how hard is to even open the show with a different song??

The lack of comments on this thread seem to indicate the lack of interest this band generates from the ‘hard core’  fans. Very very sad.

Or maybe because, you know, nobody was considering this part of the New Chapter tour that starts in March? Also, they brought out You're Crazy for the first time with Slash and Duff.

Back on topic, I thought the performance was actually pretty damn good for a modern day SCOM. It's one of Axl's weakest songs these days so I get the feeling the band had no input and maybe even didn't know which song would be chosen before hand so they could give a little extra care to it. Regardless, I think he sounded pretty damn good in the verses, obviously not that powerful but his tone was not Mickey either. Not as good in the chorus, but good in the outro. All the shitty comments on Twitter are just the usual assholes being assholes.

I liked that show.  Before it seemed like they were speeding their way through the show.  This one seemed to flow at a speed that allowed you time to be drawn in.  Wasn't holding on so tight to my mouse, lol.  Hope that's an indicator of future shows.

Interesting, what do you mean by this? The tempo of the songs? I didn't really notice.

  Slash ‘s  solo was very good, frank keeps on rushing (it’s almost unbelievable after 4 years with this lineup) axl is out of breath but at least his clean voice in scom works well, one of the few songs imho. The choice of the song was correct imho

They all have a tendency to rush; Slash does it on solos, Axl does it often with Shadow, and Frank in general.

I’m sure the networks selected the song and if that’s the case, they’re going to pick the most well known song. Some corporate big wig isn’t going to listen to that whole concert and try to determine where they sounded the best.

The thing is, a band like GNR could have absolutely dictated to the network what song they wanted shown (and obviously they know where they sound the best). And yet, it seems like they chose not to. Weird.

Exactly! So we are expected to believe that in the next month the band are going to rehearse a complete different show. Which is likely, the past few months could have been 'off time' for the band. And they haven't gotten together to yet rehearse anything new, but will use this month to do so. This is being positive, but for anyone using the Miami show as an indicator of what to expect would be disappointed if they have seen this show before and are purchasing tickets.

Well, what do we mean by "entirely new show"? Do we mean a new stage? (it did look different to me) New songs? Just because they didn't play new songs at this show doesn't mean they haven't been rehearsing them already. They could have been rehearsing new stuff for the past two months. Just because changes haven't debuted yet doesn't mean they haven't been worked on and must be crammed in the next month.

Patience was featured in one of the super bowl commercials.

Seeing Crazy with Slash, Has Slash player on crazy in the newer era?

No, this is the first time they've played "You're Crazy" since Slash rejoined the band.

By "months before" you mean one month before, right?  The "next chapter" starts in March. 

About 1.5 months.

Is it possible that the two upcoming tours aren't gonna be exactly the same? That some things could be added for South America, but the biggest change will be on the European leg?

Everything is possible...in theory

Well Live nation just announced the US tour... Facebook had an even created for GNR At Comerica Park in Detroit on 7-11... I think it’s gonna be a great year!! I hope they can get Dirty Honey to support for the entire tour... would be an excellent addition!!

Not to sound corny or anything, but I am super thankful that since 2016 I've gotten to see GNR w/ Slash and Duff at least once a year, usually twice. 

Just as simple as that.

[jarmo]

It's not corny. It's reality.

Sometimes we forget that things aren't always as bad as they are portrayed.

I had a blast at both of my shows.  Told anyone that asked they were awesome.

It's no doubt a great night out.

This is very true we could go back to the Wonder Years of 94-02 and then 03 to - what like 08 when they started to tour a little more and sporadically thru the early 2010s

Great pics, jarmo!

That last one of Slash mid jump is FUCKING stellar.  I'd order a poster sized print of that and hang it on my wall!

There's been a couple I've wanted in the past too - ones of shows I was at mainly.

I wonder if this might be a possibility....if there's a commercial issue, perhaps that could be navigated by doing it at cost price or accepting charity donations rather than payment? 

[jarmo]

Thanks!
