* October 29th, 2006 San Juan, PR @ Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum ** GENERAL **

[wells]

Seeing only monobum is attending this show I doubt we will get any kind of live updates... so use this thread if there is anything needed to discuss about tonight's show, like what do you think of attendance, atmosphere, etc... or let it die in all its emptiness.

Do not use this thread for moaning & whinning about the band, please.? There is no video @ gunsnroses.com, there is no single or CD announcement and the band is playing more or less same setlist as everynight. We all know that.

Thank You!

edit: Ah, and yes Frank is on the drums...?

edit2: frankovc will also be there and is willing to do live updates so if anyone from the area is willing to PM him his mobile we would get them

[LittleFly]

How late will Axl be for trying to get through customs?

[SLCPUNK]

Ten to one Kujo is rowing a little dingy over there right now............lets see if he makes it.

If that fucker could figure out a way to drive his car across the water...........he'd fire that thing up and go.

Anyway, have a blast monobum!

[frankovc]

I will go in 30 minutes, Is a 2 hours trip... SOMEONE GIVE ME A CELLPHONE!!!! if you want updates

[EFISH]

Have fun man, make sure to try and remember the setlist!

One question for you... what time is it there right now?

Have a great time!

[frankovc]

3:22 pm

[axl2]

so we might get some updates...This would be a good show to play something different off the illusions album

[LittleFly]

Shit, I bet he's gone now....I could have given him my cell #

[Duffio]

lol he asked for it at least 2x in this thread.. oh well, maybe he'll give a review when he comes back...

[Dont Try Me]

to the ones going: enjoy!! 

[LittleFly]

lol he asked for it at least 2x in this thread.. oh well, maybe he'll give a review when he comes back...

Yeah, I just got home ?Ahh well, I have to work tomorrow, probably shouldn't be up till 1 am or later :lol

[Dr. Blutarsky]

what time does GNR go on?

[The Legend]

Typically they've been going on in-between 11pm-12am ET. So it's always up in the air.

Those going to the San Juan show, enjoy, have fun, and be safe.

[Dadud]

this will be most likely the show they release the "big guns" at. Why? Because 1. Who in their right mind would take a trip to PR to see GNR? and 2. No ones going to bootleg it most likely

[axl2]

so no updates tonight?

[HamsterDemocracy]

I don't think the mods took a liking to my post in this thread earlier.

It has disappeared like Angier in The Prestige. 

I hope for an announcement during one of the upcoming shows... 

[estebanf]

a new member of our forum www.uzisuicide.com.ar (I dont know how trustable is) is giving us some updates. He's from Puerto Rico, but he's not at the show (a friend of his does)

He told us:

1) Intro / Welcome To The Jungle
2) It's So Easy
3) Mr. Brownstone
[he didnt tell us if there is something between Brownstone and...]
4) Finck Solo / Sweet Child O' Mine (and the crowd exploded in ecstasy)
Axl picks up a flag and showed it to the crowd
5) [Short show interruption because of some sound problems] You Could Be Mine

and waiting for more updates

[tsoky2003]

Thanks for the updates

[EFISH]

Well that's how all the shows have been going on so far except LALD after Brownstone...
Who knows if he's telling the truth...
The only thing I'm interested about the setlist tonight is if they play Maddy or not..
I'd hate if that one disapeared for good...

[estebanf]

The ''update-guy'' was kicked out from the show because he was caught recording the show. Now he's trying to re-enter the show 

EDIT: the crowd is WILD, very excited, and the band is sounding KILLER

[Duffio]

Maybe a newspaper there gives a review or something.... but the updates are cool... too bad not too many GnR PR fans are in this board.

[Jacaranda]

24:00 is the time in San Juan

so ...

edit: Don't match with the setlist

[SWINGTRADER]

Here's a link to a Puerto Rican  Rock station   .  I'm listening in case they say something about the show

well I guess show ended only hour and half or so ago and frankovc said it is 2 hour drive to come home... so if he is not too tired, maybe we'll get some updates in like one hour... i have no idea about monobum and when he is back/will post updates.

Review by the
user Old Man from Mygnr.
Hi,

English is not my primary language... so have a little patience and sorry for any mistakes in my writing. Sebastian Bach enter the stage around 8:15pm and finish at 9:28pm. A lot of new material in his set list and the standards: Youth Gone Wild, 18 and Life, Monkey Business, I remember you and Slave to the Grind. I think there was a problem back stage because after 35 minutes in Back's set, the sound tech told him to stretch the time. At that moment Bach and his band got lost but soon after, they started to play more new material and they mix all this with a guitar and drum solo. That's why his set took 1 hour and 13 minutes (more than Papa Roach appearance). Bach and his band were very happy with the people's response and I think we were very patient with the situation.

Sharp at 10 pm Papa Roach hit the stage. I'm not that familiar with Papa Roach and at the begining of their show, the crowd response vas very limited. This all changed when Jacoby Shaddix jump off the stage and started sing around the arena floor. He also sang the begining of Scars in spanish... nice touch. Their set list included To Be Loved and Getting Away With Murder. They finish at 10:54pm and by that time they literally owned the audience.

Knowing Axl behavior concerning the traditional delays I thought that GnR were going to get on the stage around 12:30am. But to my surprise, house lights went out on 11:40pm and then my ordinary life stop for the next 2 hours and 20 minutes.

I have to tell you that by any chance I'am familiar with the Chinese Democracy material, so it will very unrealistic to give you an acurate set list because I could be mistaken giving you the names of the songs of the new material. The only thing I can tell you is that the new material rocks and the puertorricans even though didn't new the material well, were very responsive and positive to the new songs.

More or less this was the set list:

Introduction
Welcome to the Jungle (the begining of the song was slopy, but hey we were all in a frenzy)
It's so easy (Pin up girls images including Betty Paige.)
Mr. Brownstone
Live and Let Die
Robin Solo (He was dress like a girl with skirt, nylons and all the rest)
Sweet Child O' Mine (All the audience were on their feet, first, second and third level of coliseum during the first five songs of the show)
Rocket Queen (I think this is the first time the play it on the North American tour)
Knocking on Heaven's Door (new version is great, with a country and blues feeling)
You Could Be Mine (race car images)
Piano moving Jam
Dizzy Solo
The Blues (I guess)
Fortus solo (Beautiful with Robin)
Out Ta Get Me (I think that before this song, Axl told the fans that he didn't got anything against downloads, camcorders and bootlegs but he told that all the media or "critics" that are bitchin because of the same list, night after night, to all of them, he told them that they can kiss the his ass and gave them a nice fuck you. One more thing, Axl told us that those people can take their little recorders and shove it up in their asses. During the whole concert Axl was in good spirits and very happy with the crowd response and the band performance.)
Piano Jam
November Rain (Fortus, Robin and Bumblefoot rock in their respective solos)
Better (I guess)
Ron Solo (Don't Cry instrumental the whole crowd sing along)
My Michelle with Bach (Axl and Bach nailed the song perfectly)
Irs (I guess, but not sure)
Used to love her
(During this song a fan pass out in the arena floor and Axl told the security to pick him up. He talked about this situation after the song and ask for the fans to explain to him why this guy pass out. He joked that he didn't understand spanish and then after the fans, I guess started to talked to him in english, he said: my response to you is to have a little patience.)
Patience
Night Train

Encore
Chinese Democracy or Madagascar (not sure... sorry. They show visuals of Old San Juan during this song, homeless people in the States and cementary images in US and San Juan)
Paradiste City (During the song, Bumblefoot went down to the arena floor and Robin jump to the crowd and for several seconds he was carried trough the crowd. Insane, very insane.)

Concert ends sharply at 2am. A two hours and twenty minutes journey. One thing, every member of that band desereved to be recognized as a true gunner. They left their hearts and their souls on that stage. Period.

The Jos? Miguel Agrelot Coliseum also known as Coliseo de Puerto Rico has a capactiy aprox. of 15,000 people. I guess the attendance was 9,000 to 10,000 fans. I think the attendance could have been better but the concert was anounced after a lot of fans bought their tickets to Bryan Adams (next friday) and Journey/Def Leppard (in two weeks). And also, the price tickets for Puerto Rico are the most expensive. Arena Floor: $95.00 plus tax, First level(seated): $125.00, I was seated on the second level: $75.00 plus tax and third level: $50 and $40 bucks.

This was a great deal for us because this is the first time that GnR gave a concert in the island. Granted, Axl voice is not the same, but he stills delivers the goods and the rest of the band is very tight. After all this years, Axl still is one of the best frontman in the business.

This year I have seen in concert (in the same venue), The Rolling Stones and Sting and this concert is at the same level of the Stones concert. Last year I saw Motley Crue, and any giving night this GnR concert kicks Motley Crue's concert ass.

Final requests: first if someone can check on the acuracy of the set list (regarding the new material), it will be appreciated and second, the drummer, Frank Ferrer... does he have a puertorrican heritatge? At the end of the concert, he was telling the crowd (with his body language) that he was from here (Puerto Rico) and inmediately he got on his knees and kiss the stage two times.

If you have the oportunity to see this concert in your area, don' t hesitate to do it. You won't regret it.l Thanks for reading and sorry for any writing mistakes.

Axl reads the boards. A nice fuck you to all of us.


Great review, your english ain't that bad. You seem to have experienced the best show of the NA tour yet, atleast setlist wise.

[jazjme]

That was one of the best reviews I have ever read!

[Jim Bob]

great review. 

hopefully some of the more whinier bitchier portion of the fanbase take his advice.

LOL Obviously he DOES read the board at times..... very funny and very true:)

[The Prez]

Shit, he must read the board! From now on I will not bitching anymore about the setlist? , I love GN'R and Axl, but kissing his ass is too much?

 ? ?

[Spirit]

I thought Sebastian couldn't play in Puerto Rico?

[philspectorshotme]

cheers for the review man.

this made me laugh:

cheesey as fuck link. great stuff.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I think you are right. I heard Bach had to be in LA for something related for Supergroup. Did he end up making it or is the review bogus?

From Bach-"So it is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that there are two shows that we unfortunately cannot play on the tour ? Puerto Rico and Halifax, both due to prior commitments."

[CAFC Nick]

Lol shows Axl does read the boards then!

[gandra]

GREAT REVIEW

P.S " I would be very happy with your english"

[lennonisgod]

Lol shows Axl does read the boards then!

I don't know if Axl sits there and reads the boards himself or if someone else does and tells him all about it??  One way or another, he DOES know what we talk about.

[SLCPUNK]

LOL, he reads them alright. And thinks the crybabies should shut the fuck up.

[Walapino]

Madagascar was played in the encore instead of CD, confirmed by a uzisuicide forum member that was there.

[EFISH]

If that's true then I am a VERY happy person. I got worried not seeing it there the first 3 nights, that was the only thing at all I regret about the shows I went to, not seeing Maddy played......
 

[axl2]

Any news paper reviews on this?

[gandra]

Any news paper reviews on this?

till now,not

[faldor]

Great to see Rocket Queen was played.  I hope Axl and the boys break that out at MSG, since I'll be there and it IS my favorite song EVER. 

Of course if they don't happen to play it, I won't complain, because it'll still be the best show I've ever seen.  I have no doubts about that.  But please Axl, if you do indeed read the message boards, play me some Rocket Queen at MSG.

[killingvector]

Dude, seriously, your posts are getting easier and easier to ignore.

[sexkitten]

Excellent review!  So excited to see that Rocket Queen is back.  Hell yes!

[The Legend]

So he rants about the setlist complaints... and changes the setlist?

 

[Scottyl333]

Any official number on how full the stadium was?  Surprised it wasent a sold out but the Puerto Ricans love their reggaeton.  The exact opposite of Rock N Roll.

[dariano]

Crap review from a lame Guns N Roses fan in Pimpin Rico...how can you compare the level of a Guns concert to that of Sting and The boring fuckin Stones...and he doesn't know the new songs?? Also Rocket Queen was first played in Vegas on 9/16/06...I should know...I was there...and I have seen a lot more than Stink in concert...

There is nothing wrong with the  review .  Being compared to the Stones is a great compliment   they are one of the top 3 greatest  bands ever.       Get therapy.

couldn't have said it better myself. the stones are great.

Also, Rocket Queen was played multiple times before Vegas...
Donington and Rock In Rio 5 to name a few...

   I really don't care what he thinks.  Axl is just as much a crybaby when he complains about shit.  He's in show Business! If he can't handle being critiqued than he should get the fuck out.

He did, for quite a long time.  Lets not push him back out before he's all the way in the door.

I believe he said it was the first time they played it on the NORTH AMERICAN tour.  I guess they played it in Vegas though as someone stated.

If you ask me, it's alot of people on the boards that are crybabies. How is saying that they're gonna play songs they wanna play and people wanna hear being a crybaby?

[33]

Ah man this is gone way far enough! I am not suprised for a single minute that Axl has had a good fucking moan! For fucks sake, they are out there playing and they are playing some seriously good shows! If he or someone connected with the band reads websites message boards well I dont blame him one bit for being pissed. I may be wrong but I wouldnt mind betting that half the people moaning are little pricks who have never seen the band or if they have only on the recent tour or 02. Why if the setlists are good enough for me who has seen the band many times since the early nineties or many others who use these boards. Why is not good enough for you whinging little disrespetful pricks? This is one of the greatest band of the last 20 years and they are on the verge of a fucking huge comeback. I bet the last thing that Axl, the rest of the band and the management need is to read some of the most childish, pathetic and rude comments and discussions that have been going on here very recently! It gets me very angry and I am nothing to do with the band so I cant imagine how it would affect the band! We are on the verge of getting what we have been waiting for, for so long now and it seems that it is people who have only been of the band for two fucking minutes and more mature fans who seem to have lost the faith that still cant help but whine like fuck and do it sat in front of a computer screen because they think it makes them tough that they can abuse Axl and the band. I can imagine what some of you would be like if you saw them face to face. Two faced fuckers thats what you would be like 'oh axl your great man, i love the new tunes and the new band'. I hope you feel bad when the album drops and then you have to eat your fucking words. At least I will be able to say that I have always beleived in the band and have not moaned for one minute about things. And I know that the majority of people who use this board or other ones are the same, but to the minority, you are a fucking disgrace and I cant believe you can call yourselves GnR fans. Mike

[ElChino]

ANY SHOTS OF AXL WITH THE RICAN FLAG?
