The Hard Rock is saying that Gn'R is "scheduled" for 10 pm. But since that word isn't in Axl's vocabulary, I'm putting my money on 11. I'm gonna head to the Rainbow around 4 - 5, and I'll probbaly go into the show at 9, just to see Phantom Planet, since I've never seen them before. Even though I probably won't like them. I'm gonna "try" not get all fucked up before the show, so I'm good to go afterwards. I really wanna leave now, lol, but am gonna restrain myself. Rock N Roll!!!!

Yeah, I was just trying to be nice and let people know what time the show might start....

I guess I shouldn't bother.

Thanks for pointing it out. Next time, please use the "report to moderator" feature.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go and ban myself.  :P

I completely forgot about the time difference until about an hour ago.

It hit me that after I play my show tonight, pack up the equipment and head home (about an hour drive) GNR may not have even hit the stage in Vegas yet because of the time change! How funny.

Just got my tickets to Aerosmith and Motley Crue, hopefully tickets for GNR in houston soon too.

I bet they'll be on stage by 11, 1am my time, unlike the European tour where everything was updated before i even had dinner.
Thats Awesome though, Souncheck, and 10th in line? Thats a good place to be

Relax man, it was a joke!  If this was a normal band that you've been following for 15 years of tours and albums I might understand your stance on the money...but dude!  Axl's 44, ya never know when a tour will end, other bands charge way more, and it's not like we haven't had years and years to save some bucks. 

There is no band I'd rather see live than GNFNR.  If you're out west, this may be your last chance to see them.  I guess you could really get into watching a boot at home.  Screaming and pumping your fists, but I don't know, I'd rather be there feeling the energy of the performance and having the band feed off of the collective energy of the crowd.

Broken record....  What is the compelling reason to post negative thoughts, that you feel will somehow contribute to the discussion?  Why such the personal disapointment over a freakin setlist?  I mean, who cares, this band rocks, and their setlists are just fine.

Hey man,  I hope you get the chance!  When I think of the greatest days of my life, meeting my wife, watching my children be born, conceiving my children  ;D, getting married, seeing GNR in '92, '02, and '06 are all Top 10 material!!!  There is a kind of energy at GNR shows that's part mystery, anticipation, adrenaline rush, and fucking euphoria that's tough to put into words.  I hope for your sake they do a show or 2 in Texas.   :beer:  Rock on.   :peace:

Someone should actually calculate what GNR time is, and make a clock for it... I'm guessing it runs slower than the normal 24 hour clock ;P

I'm kinda thinking they might play TWAT. They played it at the NY show. One of these warmup gigs, I think we'll hear it if they intend to get it into the set for the tour...

Wow! What a surprise. The same fucking setlist! Damn I'm practically spurting in my shorts here!

Heh, all sarcasm aside, I'm psyched to see Rhiad on that list. I would love to hear Axl perform that nowadays. Be interesting to hear how he does the "high" and "clean" vocals with his grit voice. I also hope they play TWAT.

I can't say I don't feel a bit disappointed that it's the same general setlist again, though.  :-\

Why are so many upset over the setlist when, first, they haven't played yet and, second, they're NOT even at the show????

I'm certainly not dissapointed, i'm excited, as long as they play a great show and the crowd has a good time, its all good

Fantastic 4 just finished, i'm off to bed

Yeah, it's just that people get their hopes up and it's a let down on the first night. ?It'll only get better with time, but since it's the first night, I'm a little bummed. ?It'd just have been cool for them to come back with one new tune that we've never heard before.

Haha I had my fill of thrills in Philly... I enjoyed them being late at Hammerstein, because it was consistent. ?I wouldn't mind an occasional 3am start or equivelant as long as they play... just so that it's relatively uneventful.

From the pics it looks like they couldn't dit in their backdrop/giant screens normal set-up with the red beams on the sides. Any word on if that's true? Guess the venue was too small..then again they have been using pyro at least according to the set list we saw earlier.

I would think that they would have at least "generic" versions of the shirts that were sold in NYC and/or Europe....just without any specific town name on them. But SF and Vegas might even get their onw shirts.

I hope they audit the negative karmas sometime soon... we've been behaving for the most part.  -1 is ok, once you get past that you're just a pain in the ass and everyone knows it.  Mostly everyone is -1 anymore, so we might as well just be reset to 0. 

Many thanks to EFISH again... and his friend for providing this.  I'd much rather just enjoy the show instead of standing there with my cell phone to give updates... Hats off to you both  :peace:

Then again other shows had some other "optional songs" played like Used to love Her, Anything Goes, or some random cover like Sway or Back in the USSR.

16 songs so far!!!

And a few more to go..  :hihi:

Wonder what show had the most optionals thrown on during this tour since may. If I had to guess it was the very first show, with only Rocket Queen, Rhiad, and Think About You left off. Then again other shows had some other "optional songs" played like Used to love Her, Anything Goes, or some random cover like Sway or Back in the USSR.

Call me stupid but when in the hell did they play Anything Goes and how did I manage to miss that??

They never did.

Thanks, I thought I'd lost it there for a minute... I've been up for 23 hours and you could probably tell me that CD is coming out on Tuesday and I'd take you seriously
well now that you mention it :P

They'll do madagascar or C.D... in my opinion.

I bet theydom both of those and then Paradise...most of the encores this your have had 3 songs including PC. That would mean they only left off TWAT, Rhiad, and Think About You off of their optionals set list.

I think Civil War will appear. ?It's very appropriate and it wasn't really a "Slash song" that would warrant and kind of reason to not play it..

But I think this setlist is a very good setlist for a GNR show, for people who like GNR but aren't hard core fans ;)

I think Axl wants the band to get all these songs down to the "T" and be able to bust them out whenever. I am sure in October we'll get 4-5 new additions to the set, with 4-5 of these songs being dropped.

It is pretty much the Rock AM Ring setlist. GnR are fairly predictable despite the claims that Axl keeps the band guessing.

like axl said, i believe that there will be a few more songs thrown in very soon, for example, TWAT. also, songs we are hearing now will not by "alternative" songs, they will become the actual setlist. more specifically, i would bet that the 23rd will be the rist reall new guns show, with a shitload of new material(for non-fans, for us it will be what we have heard as well as one or two more songs.)

Yep, I've got 7 new songs in my music collection that I'm pretty certain will be on the album:

1. Better
2. Catcher In The Rye
3. I.R.S.
4. Chinese Democracy (Live)
5. Madagascar (Live)
6. The Blues (Live)
7. There Was A Time (T.W.A.T.)

That's over half the album. I wouldn't play anything new if I were them either, unless of course the first single is something we haven't heard yet.

Wouldn't these "warm-ups" be the time to throw in a "civil war" or "dead horse" or ANYTHING from spaghetti , just to see how they go over, instead of the same songs they have played hundreds of times?

I'm willing to bet we'll never hear anything from TSI and I'm not complaining... The old band didn't even play much of it live
maybe because spaghetti incident was released AFTER they stopped touring.....

They did the SIDHY intro and Attitude... Down on the Farm... but they never really did covers. ?They were more illusion-appetite heavy. ?Still doubt we'll ever hear any of it, and thats okay with me. ?Goodnight all. ?:peace:

Thanks EFISH!!!  : ok: :beer:

Wouldn't better for some of you to just enjoy a show rather than keep bitching about the setlist?
no offense man, but i wanna hear the new band play their songs. i dont wann pay to hear 90% of the entire appetite album. if i want that, i will listen to some old bootlegs. thankg god that we may finally hear the new band soon
You really think they are gonna play the whole album live BEFORE its released?
Also, you are not there on the show, you're just reading live updates from a good fellow gn'r fan there, so you don't have to pay anyways. :P

Im not complaining about it, just discussing it.

In fact I stated that I believe the setlist satisfys at least 70% of the crowd.
I wasn't talking to you, I'm cool with discussing it... Just don't like the same old shit whinning about the setlist, even if Axl claimed that they would only play newer songs as the tour runs its course.

Efish sorry who is sending the pics and updates we owe him a big thanks these pictures rule and i know how hard it is trying to update and send photos and watch a show Its not So Easy

As for the people making comment like shame shit since 2001 4 words "shut the fuck up" when the Album is released we will here more songs just wait your fucking time in the mean time :no:

Cotis was the one with the updates (Cmzertz917 or whatever) at this forum... all credits for pics and stuff go to him..

Yeah, I believe there will still be negative press, but the good word will always find its way to the real music fans who dont give a fuck about the mainstream. Plus, you can't keep a good band down. I think this upcoming tour will be a great success... an even bigger one if Chinese Democracy or single is released during it. Axl Rose has his voice/swagger back and all the new musicians are doing a good job.

He knows that. He is saying we had an entire European tour without a mention of the album and there was still no mention at this Las Vegas show, but just because it's in America people are saying "CD starts now" when nothink much has changed.

Sorry man, Out Ta Get Me is perfect in a climate where dumb-ass members of the media rip Axl and the new band for no good reason. ?I would agree on Michelle, unless Baz is in the house. ?The duo was definitely an adrenaline booster! ? :yes:

I think people should chill out just a bit. ?I think the guy was simply saying "Chinese Democracy Starts NOW!!!" because he was excited. ?Guns played another gig. ?They haven't played in over a month. ?They played Rocket Queen. ?The man's excited. ?Give him a break. ?That's just my take on the situation. ?I don't think he meant that the European tour was unimportant and that tonight the real tour begins. ?Every show they play is important whether it's in New York, Alaska, Brazil, Antartica.

The setlist was fine, Im sure everyone who was there had a great time.  Im surprised to see songs like TWAT, CD, Madagascar and even Riyad as option songs.  I would definitely like to see TWAT and CD permanently in the setlist.


Title: Re: Las Vegas - Sep 16 update thread
Post by: faldor on September 17, 2006, 09:49:58 AM
People still have to realize that the masses ONLY want to hear the classics.  I keep asking (or telling my friends) we're going to see GNR when they come around and they say ONLY if they play the classics.  I think sprinkling in 4-7 new songs is a perfect mix, for now.  When and if we ever get a release date for the album then maybe the #'s will increase but for now you've got to give the people what they want.

that?s true... and I believe that if they started playing just CD songs, without having the album out and promoted (singles, etc) the gigs wouldn?t hv as much ppl cos only real fans would go. I guess in this situation we r having right now, the classics are a must-have.

anyway, thanks for the updates, just read the 26 pages lol... so, american ppl, start waking up cos we want to read ur reviews! ?: ok:

I doubt it.

The dude didn't mind giving updates.

I don't think he's out to score brownie points.

He's a true fan. ::)

yep

i know people are going to claim pics as theirs, but whatever. i took it, and i know it.

but i just woke up...my ears are STILL ringing! todays my bday, and they rung in my birthday with november rain last night, how great!

**edit** some more pics i managed to get off my cam, the battery keeps dying every 3 seconds, so i'm getting a couple every minute

My review.........OK, you guys know the setlist and everything already, what a fuckin awesome show!! ?I met and partied with a lot of people from the board. The first guy I ran into was rw122 or something like that. He was just walkin down the street by himself drinkin a beer so we drank one with him. Then we went to the Rainbow. We were the first people there as it didn't open till 5, and we were there right at 5. After we were in the Rainbow for a bit, We ran into Budda_master and Bandita and a few other people I can't remember the names of. (sorry!!) ?Anyways, in total there was like 10 of us, half of which were from the board. We all decided to go to Buddas hotel and party there (too bad he had to leave town this morning) We stayed there and drank till like 9:30 I think then we made our way to the Hard Rock. ARight when we got in the Hard Rock, we noticed that the line was VERY long, screw that so we walked around. And Axl walked by!! So By this time we kinda lost everyone, we stayed and drank at the bar until everyone was in the show (we made it right up front right away anyways) And then Jungle kicked in, and the rest is history!! ?:) ?I should go back to bed, I need my energy for tonights show!!! ?

Okay...what a show, I have to say I have seen Guns many times but this was the best show I have seen from Axl, he sounded great, he looked good, his mood was good until the end when during Paradise City he went off stage and started bitching at Merck...I wasn';t sure what was up but it was 1am Vegas time and I was thinking they were probably being asked to end the show, Axl didn't seem ready to end it so he came back out to finish Paradise City and the confetti was pumped into the crowd just like you have seen from other shows...my favorite moment was Rocket Queen, Axl said it was Tommy's request as he had his arm around him, he kept saying Tommy wants to play a song...it's one of my all time fav tunes and I was fucking pumped and singing every lyrics...we were about 5 feet from the left side of the stage, Bumble was wearing an all red suit, the whole fucking show, can't imagine how hot that motherfucker was wearing that shit but he looked fucking cool, if you put horns on his head and he was playing a pitchfork he could easily passed for Satan at a Halloween party...Tommy was in a suit too...the band was so tight...more let me get some coffee...

Thankx for all the news and updates everyone : ok:

I just returned from Vegas. ?The show was great. ?Started about 11. ?It was wierd to see all these people lined up to get in at 7pm. ?There were people standing in line for hours just to get in. ?If you go tonight I'd recommend sitting at one of the tables until the opening act finishes. ? They have the front doors open, so you can gamble and still hear them play. ?Plus you can suck down all the free red bull vodkas you can drink as opposed to paying $12 at the Joint. ? Wait 45 minutes after the opening act finishes then walk right in. ?Go to the bar, get two drinks and then walk down to the front of the stage.

I took about 40 photos. ?I'll post them shortly.

Nah, they haven't played Rhiad since 11.21.02 in Detroit...

I guess it's same to say Axl's favorite new songs are Better & The Blues...

Why the hell is Rocket Queen under options? That's probably the best song off of Appetite...

..well, either the leaks were real leaks (ie songs that were not supposed to be leaked) so GnR thought they play those leaked songs as part of the new set. For all we know, the rest of CD could contain tracks that are as good as or better than the leaks ?:)

..or, the leaks were intentional, and Better, IRS, TWAT are the cream of the crop and the rest of CD will be filled with fillers, thus be a huge disappointment. Guess we'll know soon ?;D

..I liked the early version of Rhiad performed in Vegas back in 2000. The tune was there, it just appeared to lack lyrics. The song had a raw jungle sound to it.

But I do understand the plan here - I'm guessing that for everyone that shows up , hears the old stuff, and goes home with a good experience , it may lead them to buy the new album when in fact they do see it in the stores. Who really knows - It's cool they're back playing gigs full-time, hopefully they're in New York again soon enough

I feel the same way. I think alot of peopl loose sight of the fact that not everyone is one these boards often (or at all). They don't have 10 bootlegs of each tour like we do. There are a TON of people who haven't heard this lineup or how they play the old stuff, let alone some new tunes.

Once the actual tour starts I think the setlist will not only change, but I foresee it being alot longer in running time as well.

It might make the average Slash fan open up and say "Wow, these guys really are GNR. Maybe I'll give the new record a shot"

What's the quality of the shirts like?  Flimsy?  Does it feel like it'll shrink after one wash?  That might be the difference between getting an L or an XL.

I got the one with the old and new logo at the first Hammerstein gig and I think it's made very well. I've washed it alot since the show and the lettering is still shiny and raised.

I'm not in agreement that playing the old stuff is part of the plan to sell more of a new album.

Why not buy AFD?

Also, when you go see "GNR" would you not expect the best out of them when it comes to playing their back catalogue?

I want to hear new stuff and enjoy it as well.

I think it's safe to say that most of us here agree with you. We'd like to hear more new stuff too. But the average GNR fan doesn't know shit about this band and they're gonna judge them mostly by how they play tunes like Jungle, PC & SCOM.

Sometimes it seems most people here don't agree with me on this.

But I still maintain my stance. If the average GNR fan judge the band by PC, NR and such, why would they buy an album that doesn't contain those tracks?

Cool review from
http://www.newgnr.com/newgnr.html

09-16-06 | Hard Rock Hotel - The Joint Review 2
by Rex

 
I believe that show (at least to those of who were there) may very well go
down in history as the best concert that Las Vegas has ever seen, or any
town has ever seen.

I have been to more concerts than I care to county by many different
bands, but this was sick, just sick.

Axl lost the botox, and sounded like he just finished Appetite for
Destruction'.  Better if you can imagine it.  The scream was back, his
range was actually better, and
the energy was insane.   

They did triple lead guitar on several songs, and from the moment the
concert burst out with "Welcome to the Jungle" to 2+ hours later when
it ended with "Paradise City", everybody ... the band, the crowd,
security ... everybody was ready to collapse.

That show was like a crystal meth enema.  It was like the band was shot
out of a cannon and they torn through nearly every GNR song (plus a
little new material) like it was 1988 ... but their wore more band
members and every single member was completely at the top of their
game.

I heard a bunch of bad shit from the music press.  I head some bad crap
from Europeans.  I heard he would be three hours late and do a half-assed
show. I almost didn't go, because I expected to be disappointed.  But .....
Holy Shit.   Just .... Holy Shit.

I talked with people in the crowd who had seen them 20+ times since the 80's
remarking that this was far and away, the best GNR show they had ever
seen.  It was the best concert of any kind I have ever been witness to.
  I'm still speechless.

Some guys were there after the show who had seen them at Hammerstein in NYC
and they said "Manhattan has nothing on Las Vegas, the greatest shows are
always here.  This show was way better than Hammerstein."

The fed of the crowd who was giving as much back to the band as they were
getting, and you can sense the band saing in their heads "We are finally home".

Seriously, if you have never seen GNR in Las Vegas, then you may not have
seen GNR's best live work.

There was a good deal of crowd interaction, the whole band seemed to be
thrilled that they were in Las Vegas, and Axl even laughed when some
dumbass was kicked out for throwing things instead of having a hissy
fit.  The place was packed, and every single person sang every word to
every song from start to finish.  They just tore the place apart.
Seriously, I don't know how that show could possibly be topped by and
band in any place.

Richard was on fire screaming "fuck yeah!" as he was hammering out the
rhythm section of "Jungle", Robin had me thinking "Slash Who?"  This guy is
second  to nobody, and this is coming from someone who got into guitar
playing because of Slash.  I emulated Slash in my early playing years, and
this was the guy who I always took as the greatest player of all time.  I
saw Velvet Revolver last year simply to watch Slash play.  And here I was
feeling like a complete traitor when I was standing their saying "Holy
Shit, this guy plays Slash better than Slash".  But what can I say?  He
does.  I never thought I would EVER say that, but this guy plays GNR leads
that make you think he had to have written the songs himself.  And his
energy and stage presence is, dare I say it, more dramatic.  He's all over
the stage, going nuts while not missing a note.  He collided with Axl with
one point, hit the deck, and still didn't miss a note!

Robin came out into the audience at one point.  These guys were psyched
beyond belief.

Richard's (who I thought was playing RHYTHM and not lead) took the lead
solo on "November Rain" that damn near brought a tear to my eye.  When your
rhythm player can play lead better than most lead players, you've got an
untouchable band.

I got right in front of the stage.  Almost got hit by Robin's guitar neck
at one point.  Axl laughed at my huge Pocket PC cellphone when I held
it up in leui of a lighter for "Patience".  My phone looked less like a
lighter and more like a frigging stage light.

Anyway, greatest ... concert ... ever.   Seriously, ever.  Since the
invention of the amplified sound, this was the best single set by any
particular band in the history of rock music.

At least from near the stage.  The celebrities and rock critics who
were preening and licking each other's nuts in the balcony so as to be
isolated from us riff-raff may have a different story, but who gives a
damn?

This was one to tell your grand kids about.  It was one of the classic
"great" shows. I don't think it can be topped.  And  whether you like Axl,
hate Axl,
it became apparent very quickly why he is arguably the best front man
in the last 20 years.  Maybe he's an ass, maybe he's insane, but when
he's on, he cannot be topped.  Period.

I think that was the show against which all others will be judged.  And I
think it will be king.

I tried to put it into words the best I could, but it's really not
possible.  You had to be there to understand what I mean.

I really hope the rest of you get a show 1/2 as good as this one.  Because
if you do, it will still be the best show you have ever seen.  I make very
few promises, but I promise everyone this ... if they are anywhere near
where they were last night, if you ever seen one show in your entire life,
this would have to be it.

because they already have it or GH? save that those are quite old and different from the sound by the band alive. 
seeing them live makes people want to hear new stuff from this band as well.

Too much exageration... be carefull with some reviews you read from ultra mega die-hard fans.... they are biaised....sometimes they sound like Britney Spears 12 years old fans... "who is Slash?" "best show of the entire universe" "Axl is god" "I cried!".... come on...let's be serious.

I saw he band aswell 3 month ago. It was good, but it was NOT "the best show in the Univers", it was not also as good as some other shows I went to (especially Oasis, it was a better show than GN'R, and with just 2 guitar players, they sounded louder... less players, less people onstage, tigher, no solos/jams every 10 minutes etc...)

I prefer to be fair and honnest than to be blind.

You should check out Spinal Tap. Their amps go to 11! One louder.

I'm happy you prefer watching Liam stand in his spot singing about his Wonderwall. Good for you. ?: ok:


I prefer to be fair than to be blind.

Ok....


If Axl just stood there for the whole show, you'd be complaining about him being boring....

I bet a GN'R show is more intense than an Oasis show. It's only natural that you slow down after a few songs.


I think you're comparing apple to oranges.

Title: Re: Las Vegas - Sep 16 update thread
Post by: nesquick on September 17, 2006, 06:56:41 PM
If GN'R had played 20 songs in a row, like Oasis did, yes it would have been a better show. But they did not. I don't know Jarmo, but maybe, you know maybe there was a problem at the Paris show. Because I have the feeling EVERYBODY who went to the Paris show was really bored by the solos. read the reviews of the Paris show on this board.

Maybe I went to the wrong show? i don't "regret it", but I expected something different, more exiting, less boring, ?people were so bored and exausted by all the solos every 10 minutes (really, every 10 minutes the band stopped the show that night! can you believe it?) that Bumblefoot was booed. First time in my life I heard a main act beeing booed. I never saw that before, at any concert. My friend left before the end of the show. people around us left aswell... and not only for the metro. Jarmo this is the fucking truth dude: people were bored. I'm sorry, but this is what happened... :-\

Are we more exigent in Paris? I don't think so. People are people. They are the same everywhere. But there was something wrong in the band's attitude after the 4 first songs. The show quickly went down. It's like if they gave us something to sleep. I just hope that next time they come in Paris, they really play like a fast train in a row, like "take that in your face", instead of stopping the show every 10 minutes.

It's not whining or complaining, it's beeing honnest. I don't want to lie. Good things and bad things have to be said. There were also many good things, don't worry? ;)

Now, maybe in Vegas they didn't stop the show every 10 minutes :)

People on here never fail to amaze me. Yes, it was a very enthusiastic review, but you don't know this guy, how do you know he is biased? How do you know anything? I just love the way people talk like they know everything.

I've seen Oasis twice and the new GNR twice, both great bands, but there's no way I'd consider the Oasis shows on a par with the musicianship and the performance of these guys. My opinion.

Of course it's invalid because some random person on the internet knows everything about me and will tell you that I'm biased, or have alterior motives, etc....? ::)

... because God forbid someone likes this band enough to heap praise upon them.

Well, there were solos last night, but they were hardly long enough to even be considers "solos" they'd play a few notes then it'd be on to the next song, it's not like everytime there was a "solo" they went and played for 10 minutes.


Title: Re: Las Vegas - Sep 16 update thread
Post by: jarmo on September 17, 2006, 07:26:42 PM
Nesquick is upset because there's three guitar players and it won't let them "shine". But then when they play individual solos that lets them shine, it's not a good thing.

Isn't it wonderful that not all bands are modelled after the same model Oasis is modelled from?

It'd be pretty boring if all bands were the same and all shows were the same kind of shows....

Ok, so it was different because at the Paris show,? there was about 45 minutes of solos! 45 minutes. Maybe the band has finally taken the decision to cut the solos off and/or to make them shorter? if so, i'm happy, this is a good thing : ok:
Oh jarmo... it's not all about the 3 guitar players thing.... stop reducing my ideas to that...it's too easy to say that, it avoids you to think, I'm just honnest. as i said, we have to say what is positive and what is negative. It's called honnesty. and for god's sake, the jams:solos: bossa nova interludes have nothing to do with the 3 guitar players thing. It's another problem.

its funny how a "pro gnr" review is considered biased yet when a review bashes the band its "honesty" and the real deal.....

if u havnt seen the band go see them live. If they didnt impress you go home and follow another band. This band is a machine. And I can just feel the steam that this thing is building up. This band and album is gonan shake the genre up. Patience is a virtue and our time has come....soo n is the word

That is completely wrong. That's not what I said. You take my words out of context and make a generalisation.?
I recall you, just in case, that I AM a newGNR fan. i went to their show. I paid for it. If not, I wouldn't have gone to the show, I wouldn't have been on this board for 3 or 4 years and i wouldn't have waited for ChiDem for 10 years...

if you wanna hear "Axl is God", "I cried", "Who is Slash?", "The best show of the Universe", "I though I died, i cried like a baby during all the show" etc... fine. But don't count on me to be in that kind of things. I'm 25. let's be serious. That's not the reality. and that's not the truth. That's beeing exessive and biaised. That's not analizing seriously the situation. and the most important, that's not beeing fair and honest with Axl and Co. I think they need the fans to tell them the truth. Both good and bad things. You wanna hear a good thing? in my opinion, the new songs are very good. they sounded very good in Paris. You see, it's not all about bad things, but when there are some, it's better to say they exist than to hide the truth.

I prefer to be fair and honnest than to be blind.

exageration is totally a wrong word, as you're not him, you don't know him and you weren't at the show he saw? None are so blind as those who will not see, you see.

Not that I'd agree on everything the review says (like, what he knows about botox!) but
The matter of the greatest importance here is that the damn show left this heavenly aftertaste to a fan, and perhaps he's not alone as he says..

if you wanna hear "Axl is God", "I cried", "Who is Slash?", "The best show of the Universe", "I though I died, i cried like a baby during all the show" etc... fine. But don't count on me to be in that kind of things. I'm 25. let's be serious. That's not the reality. and that's not the truth. That's beeing exessive and biaised.
Yeah. And say "it will NEVER be as good as when Slash was in the band" is not biased? ::)

ALL REVIEWS are biased, period. It's just an opinion, not common sense, even if some claim to be.

This guy didn't lied about something that didn't happen in the show (like some journalists used to do). He just said that he loved what he heard/saw, he was being fair with what he felt. Also, like ppbebe showed, he also stated that he wasn't the only one with that opinion there.

WTF of course people here are biased !!! it is a GnR FAN board! Why can`t people be just happy that this guy had the best concert experience of his life? Now someone wrote an awesome review without complaining about guitar solos, Axl being late, no Slash at the Show, too few drum solos....and now people complain because people don`t complain!

Sometimes I begin to wonder......

its funny how a "pro gnr" review is considered biased yet when a review bashes the band its "honesty" and the real deal.....

That is completely wrong. That's not what I said. You take my words out of context and make a generalisation.?
I recall you, just in case, that I AM a newGNR fan. i went to their show. I paid for it. If not, I wouldn't have gone to the show, I wouldn't have been on this board for 3 or 4 years and i wouldn't have waited for ChiDem for 10 years...

if you wanna hear "Axl is God", "I cried", "Who is Slash?", "The best show of the Universe", "I though I died, i cried like a baby during all the show" etc... fine. But don't count on me to be in that kind of things. I'm 25. let's be serious. That's not the reality. and that's not the truth. That's beeing exessive and biaised. That's not analizing seriously the situation. and the most important, that's not beeing fair and honest with Axl and Co. I think they need the fans to tell them the truth. Both good and bad things. You wanna hear a good thing? in my opinion, the new songs are very good. they sounded very good in Paris. You see, it's not all about bad things, but when there are some, it's better to say they exist than to hide the truth.

Wow what a show.

There's probably many in depth reviews of this show so I'll just share things that stood out to me.

GNR actually came on before they were expected. 

Axl was in a great mood until the TD at the end.

Other than not singing a verse in PC, Axl was on!  At times, his voice was drowned out by the crowd singing or the Mic volume, but overall Axl and all of GNR kicked ass.

He mentioned something about McCartney's son? saying it was cool that his dad made a cover of a GNR song and Paul had to tell him it was HIS song (LALD).   :rofl:

Overall a great show, can't wait for SF.

If GN'R had played 20 songs in a row, like Oasis did, yes it would have been a better show. But they did not. I don't know Jarmo, but maybe, you know maybe there was a problem at the Paris show. Because I have the feeling EVERYBODY who went to the Paris show was really bored by the solos. read the reviews of the Paris show on this board.

Maybe I went to the wrong show? i don't "regret it", but I expected something different, more exiting, less boring, ?people were so bored and exausted by all the solos every 10 minutes (really, every 10 minutes the band stopped the show that night! can you believe it?) that Bumblefoot was booed. First time in my life I heard a main act beeing booed. I never saw that before, at any concert. My friend left before the end of the show. people around us left aswell... and not only for the metro. Jarmo this is the fucking truth dude: people were bored. I'm sorry, but this is what happened... :-\

Not wishing to negate the validity of your feelings, Nesquick, but just for the record and maybe to redress the balance a little, I attended the Paris show too and can honestly say that I wasn't bored by any aspect of the band's performance. ?The only exhaustion I felt came at the end of the evening after immersing myself totally in a magnificent live GNR experience. ?I've attended 14 GNR shows this year and would jump at the chance of watching them another 14 times before the year is out too. ?In fact, I felt gutted on Saturday night to know that they were playing somewhere on this planet and that I was unable to attend. ?Yeah, I know that probably sounds greedy to those of you who haven't had the thrill of seeing them yet, but that's just the way I feel and I'm not about to start apologising for it.

Nesquick, I do sympathise with you that your expectations weren't met by the show in Paris and that you appear to have left feeling very disappointed. ?I have to say that my feelings in 2006 are a far cry from how I felt after seeing the band in 2002. ?Partly I believe that to be because today's band is a great step up from the performances I witnessed in 2002, but I also have to accept that I was in a better mental and emotional place when seeing the band this year. ?Axl's recent radio interview had him expressing his enjoyment at the jams the band play during the shows and so if this truly is a problem for you, I don't think that you're going to enjoy any of the forthcoming shows. ?Having said that, I hope that when, all things being well, they return to Europe in 2007, you take the opportunity to attend another show and who knows, maybe the next time it'll be a whole new experience for you. ?:peace:


Title: Re: Las Vegas - Sep 16 update thread
Post by: nesquick on September 18, 2006, 12:25:41 PM
I just want less solos. That's all about it. When they played the songs, they were very good. But the truth is that they stopped the show every 10 minutes with all those solos. It was annoying. Don't forget Bumblefoot was booed, he was booed because people were bored. It was like they didn"t want to play that night a full show all together as a band from the 1st minute to the last one. I don't know where you were, but after Paradise City at the end of the show, There was nobody on my left anymore: they all left and go home way before the end of the show. My friend left after November Rain... he has to work the following day and he was also very, very bored.

I didn't expect that. I was like "ok this is my 1st GN'R show, I'm exited!". But the lonnnng solos were a massacre.

They matched my expectation as individual players (exept Bumblefoot). yes, Axl impressed me very much and Fortus blew me away. Yes, Robin convinced me. and yes I enjoyed the pyro.

But as a "whole show", I mean the organisation of the show, the Paris one was catastrophy. I though Axl was ill or something at some point. i was like "What the hell is happening tonight? they don't want to play this show? Why they stop playing every 10 minutes?"

Precisely, jarmo.? You go to see a GNR show and you get what Axl wants to give you - as he said himself at one of the European shows (forget which one), "This isn't have it your way".? But then, of course, it never was.? Only one man decides the course of a GNR show and it isn't a member of the audience!

If you don't get what you were hoping for (especially when it's your first live show) and the months or maybe years of anticipation come crashing down around your ears, I do understand that it must be frustrating.? But, the brutal truth is that no amount of complaining on these boards will change Axl's mind - in fact, I'd guess that if he ever does get to hear of it, it'd make him more determined that ever to continue on his own sweet path; stubborn bugger that he is (allegedly!). ?:hihi:

Jarmo,

I agree with nesquick, the solo's make the show lose the momentum, it seems to me you really have rose tinted glasses on, no matter what Axl does you seem to always back him up(i suppose your loyal, not knocking that) just wish you could be a little more Rock and Roll, and not be afraid to express a different point of view, without worring that axl might get upset and not read your name out on stage again, i love this board, and you probaly tell me to fuck off and join another board, but least i can see both sides to GNR, when there good i will praise them, when there not i wont.

The band has had solos in the past, but I guess some of you seem to glorify the past. Which I guess is normal.


The difference now is that they all get to play something, not just the lead guitar player. We have a certain person complaining about "ego problems" in the band, but as soon as the band members get to stand in the spotlight, it's a problem.

I just don't get it.

This whole solo thing is hilarious.

Don't people realise that during the UYI tour, solos made up an average of 15% of most shows, some more then 15%.

Even several shows from around 1988 had around 15% solos/jams (check out Phoenix '88 for example).

These figures don't include things like the bits of covers such as wild horses, which aren't songs, but I suppose they aren't solos either - these would increase the figure, (much like Bumblefoot's rendition of 'Don't Cry').

This year GNR have averaged about 19-20% solos/jams, including 'Beautiful', and 'Don't Cry' by Bumblefoot. In fact, if you don't count 'Don't Cry' which is a GN'R song anyway, that the crowd sing along to as if they were playing the song as a whole band, that figure drops to around 17%.

So... what the hell's all the whining about?

yeah....  but those two solos were as long as the 3 guitar solos they`re playing now.....  which basically can be considered as intros (along with dizzy`s piano solo...)

the solos they played in holland were combined like 20 minutes long.... and i really enjoyed them to be honest.

as it looks now, robin is doing one solo before sweet child o`mine, richard and robin are doing there duett before out ta get me, dizzy is doing his piano solo before the blues and bumblefoot is doing his don`t cry solo ...somewhere in the set...

that`s not too much imo...

And a couple of other things:

People talk about interupted momentum - you do realise that back in the day solos/jams by the old band sometimes exceeded 10 minutes?

In a two and a half hour show, the difference between 15% and 20% is only aout 7 minutes. If that's what you're moaning about - jeez.

I didn't realize everything had to be PRO GNR and PRO Axl on this board. He went to the concert expecting a great show and he was disappointed.

He is being honest and I don't think he deserves to be ridiculed because of it.

I agree 1000 percent, I don't think the new GNR members have the stage presence or Charisma to carry a show on their own.

I know from watching boots, when Axl is singing and on stage it is great, when he leaves and u get these boring pointless solos, it sucks.

Not sure what shows you went to, but when I saw them Slash had 2 solos - The Godfather Theme and the one at the end of Double Talkin Jive, which were both pretty lengthy. Then Matt's solo, complete with band jam a la the tokyo shows. Add in Gilby's Wild Horses spot, and Slash's random moment to play Imagine or Only Women Bleed to preface Patience, and you've got approximately the same thing that you are seeing at a GNR show now.

I was under the impression that people are going on at nesquick becomes he keeps bringing the same subject up in multiple threads, and therefore getting on people's nerves - not because of his opinion. If he doesn't like it , fine, just don't go on about it every chance you get, in threads that often aren't even to do with that subject.

And before the back slapping, honesty, call a spade a spade bullshit goes any further. it was Nesquick who bashed some other guy in another thread, only today, for having an opinion - calling him biased/over enthusiastic, etc.

Wrong.

They'd do a solo in between Double Talkin' Jive and Civil War (he usually did Voodoo Child then) as well as a solo where he usually played The Godfather.

Add to that the drum solo and Duff and Matt jamming with Slash joining in. Plus a longer piano solo by Axl.

Occasionally they even let the additional musicians solo (Move To The City on Live Era is a good example).


And since this has nothing to do with the September 16th show anymore, I suggest you take it to Dead Horse from now on.

I'm not interested in seeing this discussion turning up in every thread about a show.

I was under the impression that people are going on at nesquick becomes he keeps bringing the same subject up in multiple threads, and therefore getting on people's nerves - not because of his opinion. If he doesn't like it , fine, just don't go on about it every chance you get, in threads that often aren't even to do with that subject.

And before the back slapping, honesty, call a spade a spade bullshit goes any further. it was Nesquick who bashed some other guy in another thread, only today, for having an opinion - calling him biased/over enthusiastic, etc.

I don't want to make this about nesquick, but have an opinion, don't keep hammering down people's throats constantly, and appreciate that others have one too.

@#$%Funker

ok, fine. It's over. I think everybody says what he/she wanted to say about that. It's better to stop there.

I'm going to write a full review but his mic was not working during PC. so he left to try to fix it or something and then came back to finish the song...




i`d really like to know what caused axl to leave the stage during paradise city......  maybe he really wanted to play a longer set list....  which would`ve been cool         them dropping the robin solo would support that theory...


axl mantia :hihi:

on another hand when he ran to scream at Merck, I grabbed my cell phone to check the time, I originally thought Merck was probably trying to shut the show down becuase of the time and Axl did seem like he had more songs for the encore...who knows, it was 1am and the Hard Rock probably wanted to shut shit down and get the crowd out to the tables before it was too late...guess we will find out soon enough, either way it was the BEST concert I have ever seen, EVER!? I am 40 and a vetern concert goer, I have seen everyone from A-Z including Guns back in the 80' and 90's,  I have seen people like Bob Marley, SRV, Pink Floyd...this show was fucking electric, in your face and just fucking so hard to really put in to words...it was worth the years of monitoring web boards and fan sites for any new info...pissed and frustrated with all the CD setbacks and the last cancelled tour, the it was the SHIT and worth all $175.00!

I hear ya, I lived in Henderson back in 1998 for 6 months...guess being from California and remembering back to the Old LA Forum shows when Guns went on at 11:30pm, ended around 2am, I remember they were fined for every minute after 11pm and it was pretty fucking expensive...so you are probably right, why the fuck would shit shutdown that early in Vegas? Either way it was amazing despite that hiccup at the end...it did'nt effect my concert experience, we all have seen Axl get pissed at so much shit it's really hard to know what might be going on at that exact moment unless you really see something and I didn't see shit and the vocals seemed fine...I was pretty buzzed...LOL...

For the record, Matt Sorum's solo's sucked ass, those drum solos lasted 5 minutes but felt like 2 hours.


I think it would be cool if all 3 guitarists did a trade off guitar type battle onstage or something

But a Keyboard solo, 3 guitar solos....... But this isnt just a diss on GNR, Im not a big fan of solos period regardless of the band. well unless its Tommy Lee's drum solos, now those are great.

Even Slash's solos during the show I most always fast forwarded.

Im just not a fan of them

The 20 minutes they spend doing solos, they could do 3 more songs.


Its just u had the awesome Godfather solo and then Dizzy would come in with the Piano and it kicked ass...... Then Axl would do the "Bad time" and Sail away Sweet Sister right into SCOM.. U can't beat that. Robin's solos before SCOM have been kinda bad in my opinion.

This whole solo thing is hilarious.

Don't people realise that during the UYI tour, solos made up an average of 15% of most shows, some more then 15%.

Even several shows from around 1988 had around 15% solos/jams (check out Phoenix '88 for example).

These figures don't include things like the bits of covers such as wild horses, which aren't songs, but I suppose they aren't solos either - these would increase the figure, (much like Bumblefoot's rendition of 'Don't Cry').

This year GNR have averaged about 19-20% solos/jams, including 'Beautiful', and 'Don't Cry' by Bumblefoot. In fact, if you don't count 'Don't Cry' which is a GN'R song anyway, that the crowd sing along to as if they were playing the song as a whole band, that figure drops to around 17%.

So... what the hell's all the whining about?

@#$%Funker

you and jarmo stating that the old GNR did it on UYI tour is irrelevant. Simply put, two wrongs don't make a right

The UYI tour, although amazing, had too much excess including the soloing

I for one, think they should play a tight, cohesive set - the majority of concert goers get bored and momentum is lost during solo spots

this is my review of the sept 16th show!


The North American Tour has begun to almost a perfect
start and it was even better than I expected.  The
road has been kind to Guns and they are having a lot
of fun up there on stage.
Axl came out with red sunglasses and a white t-shirt
that said something like Youth Assassin and he was on
fire, seemingly on a mission.  I?d say that Axl
sounded the best I?ve ever heard him at this first
warm up gig in Vegas.  Unlike in NYC, the sound
problems were mostly all fixed and I could hear him
very well throughout almost all the show.   Axl nailed
pretty much every high note, scream and nuance in the
songs, which was VERY impressive to me because it
seemed as though he had a cold (I saw him get Kleenex
during the show and he was drinking a lot more than
usual). 

The first 3 songs really fire up the crowd and the
band so it?s hard to imagine them changing that
because it just works so well!  They actually had
smaller pyro going on during this show including the
spark shower for November Rain.  The stage didn?t have
the Video screens in the back or the Chinese banners
though because the club was so small.

Every song was awesome and tonight I can?t recall any
big mistakes and that bodes very well for the rest of
the tour.
Better was really powerful and tonight I could hear
the little intro vocals pretty well.  The Blues was
the best version I?ve heard so far ? Axl really nailed
the vocals throughout and he stood on top of the piano
at the end which was awesome.  You Could be Mine was
another powerhouse which they really played well. I
think it could be cool if they opened with it but I
don?t think that would happen either.  November Rain
is really epic now because I think all three solos are
played very well and of course the vocals are very
good.  Brain did some different fills during this
song, which were nice to hear.  I think that during
the band intros Axl mentioned that they were welcoming
him back and he made a joke about how he ditched the
European Tour.

Patience was also the best I?ve ever heard.  Axl held
the last note for a really long time.
Rocket Queen was a request from Tommy ? Axl said that
he really wanted to play it.  They then proceeded to
rip that song up and it was one of the best
performances of the night [Fortus played the slide
solo].  Nightrain kept the high energy up and once
again had a long jammed out outtro with many solos
from everyone.
For the encore we got Madagascar which was beautiful
but also missing something because there were no video
screens.  After this the energy spiked when they
launched into the intro to Paradise City.
Unfortunately Axl?s mic stopped working after the
first verse and he ran to the side to ?talk? to
whoever was in charge.  He definitely wasn?t too happy
about this!  After the song was done and after all the
explosions and confetti flew in the air they quickly
left the stage.  After a little while they came out to
a loud ovation (well deserved) and a group bow.  I was
reeling. Even though I?ve seen the songs before it?s
still a shock to see this kind of spectacle at a rock
show; there?s nothing like it. 

After the European tour, GNR is now much tighter than
they were earlier this year, they have great chemistry
and Bumblefoot (wearing a cool looking completely red
suit that night) is becoming much more incorporated
into the band. 
For example, he?s now doing longer solos for Knockin?
on Heaven?s Door (although I think for this one he
should play it closer to the album version).

I think they could do without so many guitar solos
personally ? if I had a choice I?d cut out 2 or 3 of
them because it takes some energy away from the show.
Although I must say that it was nice to see that some
of them were different than back in May.  I also think
they should ditch Beautiful and do some other songs,
kind of rotate them around.  I usually don?t like
Robin?s solos that much but now they are shorter and
more creative, so I was glad to see that.  Bumblefoot
sometimes does these crazy tapping solos, which I am
not a big fan of ? I think that he does better playing
the bluesy type of solos.  However his Don?t Cry solo
is really well arranged and he nails it.  It got some
of the crowd singing along after they recognized it.
He is a great and energetic stage presence that?s for
sure.  Richard?s solos are probably my favorite, the
most bluesy of the bunch.  He has really impressed me
so far this year!!  I also was digging Dizzy?s solo
which was Ziggy Stardust.   Besides the guitar and
piano solos I think that the little interlude jams are
pretty sweet because they are all improv.  Sometimes
Axl joins in with some vocal melodies, whistling or
shakers.

Tonight?s show was so good that I think it is the best
overall I?ve seen them play, and I think they only
will get better with more touring!!
There really is nothing like seeing this band in a
small venue.  The energy and crowd interaction is
unmatched and you can really feel the band?s intensity
and in some cases their sweat. Of course there is the
always-fun moshers and crowd surfers, which oddly
enough weren?t near me!  The next night however was a
different story....




Some other bits that I remembered from throughout the
show:

I think during You Could be Mine, Axl even did a jump
from the drum riser to the stage (but not quite like
those epic jumps he used to do).

He was in a great mood and thanked us for coming out a
few times and mentioned that we were in a quiet little
city in the desert.

At one point during the show Axl?s mic stand hit the
drum kit and they were laughing about it.  The stage
is so small that people were running into each other
pretty often ? kind of funny.

I believe after November Rain, Axl went into the Elvis
voice and said ?Thank you very much!?

Robin fell down to the ground during Rocket Queen, and
that was kind of funny.

Axl told a story about Live and let Die: He found out
that Paul McCartney?s kids were telling him that it
was so cool that they covered a Guns n? Roses song.  I
loved it!!!

Also someone asked him about Sebastian Bach but Axl
replied that he wasn?t there today. He also talked
with a fan up in front but I don?t know what he was
talking about.
Some stupid people were throwing stuff and Axl
commented on that too asking them to ?be good.? Or
something to that effect instead of getting angry and
ranting.

I think the wrong question is being asked here.  It's not whether the solos disrupt the flow of the performance (which I sometimes think they do); the better question is are they needed and why.

I say yes, they are needed simply to give Axl a break from singing.  I'm not sure how many of you actually sing professionally, but to sing like Axl does for over 2 hours isn't easy.  There's no way anyone could sustain the level of stress that Axl puts on his vocal chords without taking a good break from time to time.  Look at every other band who's lead singer has the same range and intensity that Axl puts forth.  The two that come time mind are Led Zeppeline and AC/DC.  It's my impression that both these bands use some serious guitar/drum solos to give their respective singers some time to cool their vocal chords.  Without these breaks, most singers in that are akin to Axl's sound would blow their chords out half way through the show.

My vocal style is much like Axl's (one guess as to who I was influenced by) and singing along to a GNR cd, i can get through 6, maybe 7 songs before my vocals start to go and I need a break. 

Cheers,

Andrew

Here?s and idea,

If Axl needs a break instead of so many solos?.when Izzy is there Let him sing a song or two like You aint the first, double talking Jive, or dust and bones. Izzy singin these songs accompanied by Axl in the back would be cool and Axl could take a breather at the same time.

I totally agree that a break is needed but one less solo wouldn't hurt right?  or maybe let Tommy sing a cover or something like that?

I dont see a problem with solos, I enjoyed everyone of them.  I want to hear what each member can do on their own as much as I want to here them play the songs. 

You are at a concert for a musical experience.   :yes:

Umm, Izzy wasn't there and I also think people tend to forget this is a band and all members deserve the spotlight for a few mins or so.  Except drum solos, I think everyone can agree we don't need those but if they decided to play one I wouldn't be complaining. 

Enjoy the band people, stop over-analyzing every last thing.  Be happy we have a tour happening here!
