I don't know promoter had said there were 15,000 or so sold but that could have changed today.  Sure looks like many people

I am not there myself, highvoltage is sending me updates though

Maybe the lights didn't went green after all  ;D

I guess they'll be onstage in about 10 minutes, around 9pm


Title: Re: Dec 1, Townsville, QLD, AUS (discussion)
Post by: kuetastic on December 01, 2010, 05:57:22 AM
The venue is an open park complex suited to festivals, the capacity would be fairly high for a set up like this but as far as local population and regional travelers go I'd say fifteen thousand sold is pretty successful and tickets were still available at the gate as of this morning so who knows.


Title: Re: Dec 1, Townsville, QLD, AUS (discussion)

If there is that 10.45 curfew or whatever people were talking about on that townsvillebulletin.com.au then they have 38 minutes until they're forced off stage.

Derp.

The time is 10:12pm on the East Coast (I live in Melbourne), unless backwards QLD don't have daylights savings time.

You might be right though, they might not have daylight savings.

That is crazy, the long suffering people of north Queensland finally get a name worth spending on and the local government clerks can stifle the noise at 10:30pm?

Lets hope nothing comes from it, fucking buzz kills.

Haha, actually...no.

I'm not rating the audience I was commenting on the lack of happy faces at that particular time.

Do you have nothing better to do then have a shot at me over random comments about random pictures? I'm not sure whom I was criticizing but thanks for taking the thread off topic anyway.

Thanks for the updates man.

If I recall, there was an agreement with the V8 Sydney show not to play within XX km's or certain areas or something. Not uncommon. So I guess it was just an area that worked within that agreement. Given the crowd shots it seemed to have worked out :)

That's a shame, I was hoping it was Ron's own creation. I think that type of hat would suit Ron brilliantly, and he would look very mysterious and mythical.

He really would look badass in that type of hat, he could have 2 like a black one and a dark brown/grey one.  : ok:

GN'R's Aussie Tour Blasts Off

No disrespect to the fine folk of Townsville but we're still shaking our heads over Axl Rose's decision to launch GN'R's four-date Aussie tour in Far North Queensland.

But as we've come to expect Axl is a man who does things his own way and judging by the reviews from last night's opening show it was a night to remember.

GN'R played a show full of energy and mayhem. They turned up on stage two hours late but still played a 16-song set littered with Gunners classics and various solos and instrumental jams.

It was a show that provoked and had everyone leaving with an opinion. Which is more than you can say about half the rock gigs these days. In fact, we started getting passionate responses from Triple M listeners as soon as the show was over.

Marc posted on our Rock Feed that while he was pissed about the GN'R being two hours late they more than made up for it with a great performance.

"I was very angry, but got over that about halfway through and enjoyed the rest of the concert.

"It's Axl Rose!," he continued. "He still has the same voice, still jumps around on stage, and puts on a great performance. The guitarists were phenomenal, and if I was to close my eyes I wouldn't be able to tell them from slash. Worth going to at least once in your life."

Got to love how the first thing the media can say is Axl was late, honestly, the scheduled start time was like 10 minutes after Korn finished, I bet no one reports that!


I'm hoping the next 3 shows get longer too as it seems they never played a few songs which have been regulars lately too.

Some knob on Triple M radio in Brisbane saying everyone is complaining about GNR coming on 1 1/2 hrs late, and how he'd never seen so many people leaving a concert early. IDIOT! It's an on-stage approx. time; they come out when they're ready to deliver a top performance, if people would just sit back and soak up the atmosphere they'd enjoy things alot more.
Good to see many fans sticking up for the band on the Stations website though!!

One of the comments on Triple M's site:

Jason says:

People who complain about Axl going on late probably need to buy Justin Beiber tickets instead.

This is one of the world's last true Rock n Roll Stars who does things when and how he wants.

Axl keeps irregular hours to most of us and if he can deliver his best performance late at night, then so be it.

The guy rocks and sounds amazing still, can't wait to see the band on Saturday night.

Absolutely right, he hit the nail right on the head. Rock N' Roll isn't about turning up exactly to the minute, if you want that you should go, and watch a crap pop show or something.  :hihi:

How about you think whether or not we need that discussion for the umpteenth time?

Doesn't exactly require a Master degree to figure out that it's been done to fucking death already and the only ones who wanna whine about it are people like you.


If that's the only thing that interests you in a time when GN'R are on tour, just leave already.

I don't have interest in catering to whiners who try to turn anything positive into something negative.  : ok:


There's your fucking response and don't try that stupid shit again. Cheers!

The discussion was started by others???

...correct or not??? you just didnt like my take on it cos I didnt agree??....yes or no??

A point by point response would be great.

OTHERS started that aspect and you allowed it cos it was pro starting late...my opinion differed so you deleted it.
Seriously I think If you allowed alternate vies that are REASONABLE and not abusive you would avoid a lot of agitation.

I beleive my views held some water no??

If it's an old discussion is it allowe in DEAD HORSE?? or is this a banned topic???

There was no discussion. Some people pointed out the simple fact that this is GN'R. That's it.

We all know that. But you weren't happy with that, you had to try to steer the discussion into something else.


I said whining didn't I?

That's you.

Referring to others as fanboys... Priceless.


For the last time: If this is the only thing that matters to you when your favorite (?) band is on tour, I suggest you reevaluate your priorities.  ::)



What you and others like you seem to fail to understand is that when we have a tour to talk about, I have no interest in turning all the show discussions to be whine fests for you and a few others.

Just because you can't feel any happiness about going to a show doesn't mean that you have to try to bring everybody else down.

I don't care if you're upset that they didn't change the whole setlist at all those shows you didn't attend.

On a more postive note Im glad that a small town like Townville got to see such a grat band I think this will resonate for yrs and yrs and the teenagers especially will remember this gig for a lifetime.

That is special.

Having grown up in a small rural Australian town myself I think there will be many inspired kids at the moment.

But you weren't happy with that, you had to try to steer the discussion into something else.....you are right I was trying to steer it towards my point of view and wanting to understand....Im an arsehole clearly for pointin out the elephant in the room.

I said whining didn't I?

That's you.

Referring to others as fanboys... Priceless......Well having grown up in a small town and religious environment Im wary of a group of people that dont allow legitimate alternate views and chatise or delete those with legitimate queries, especially whe expressed by the MAJORITY.......democracy my arse.

I will be at the Adelaide show and will record as much as possible and supply for you guys.

Is this against GNR's wishes??? If so I will refrain but Im not sure If its kinda shunned but accepted or cool with the band?
Why no live DVD with such great shows I wonder?? It'd help supplement the camera crews cost surely and make the fans happy and promote the new guys....and god knows they havent been promoted a whole lot (no vids etc)

Don't think it's against the band's wishes. Many of the band members links to the youtube vids.

We dont know what may be in the works when it comes to DVDs..
I think most artist have accepted that there is mobile phones in the audience. Even Del is posting pictures from his phone. But i would not ruin my own concert
holding up a mobile phone all the time. but i sure like to watch others videos, so please do =) I took a couple of photos in Oslo. Nice to have some pictures taken by myself, as a memory. But its not like something i focus on.

I dont know what kind of attitude GNR has to making DVDs, but i know some bands want the show to be an exclusive live concert experience. U cant always add that feeling to a DVD. But if they decide do release a DVD im sure they want to go through the material that they have, and choose the right show etc.

Cool well Im not sure cos the band hasnt said so and didn't Axl used to get very upset at people in the crowd taking pictures? If I'm up front n centre as planned Id prefer not to get kicked out or get into a needless confrontation with Axl over a genuine misunderstanding on whats deemed allowable.

I assume they have just gone well the dam has breached so meh ...who cares.

Begs the question that if it's professionaly fimed and they are cool for people to film and watch then why wouldnt it be better to view a properly recorded version and make it available for concert goers....makes a few $$ if im not mistaken?

That said the Tokyo video's for me were horrible....no atmosphere and not like being there at all....far too polished and so on....gimme a great version of a youtube video anyday.

Also, if they indeed are recording every show they could do a release similar to "All That Could Have Been" by NIN where they make a compilation from different concerts.

Yes but all of the Illusion tour was filmed and supposedly large portions of the CD sessions but nothing was released. track records tell you a GNR DVD is more unlikely. A Single video was filmed and not released for gods sake.

I dont understand but God and Axl both work in bizarre ways....but God doesnt exist so I tend to blame him less :)

You're more likely to end up in a confrontation with the security guards, of course their attitude differs from show to show. Axl doesn't seem to mind. I believe he himself said he didn't mind bootlegs.

If you've seen som of the youtube vids, pretty much everyone are holding up their cameraphones, would be few left if one should throw out all of em.

Ha ha...yes.... I have had my share of difficulties with security guards and cops over the yrs....thankfully much less in the last 5 yrs or so. I'm not keen on any more than necessary though :)

Perhaps If I get in hassles I'll yell "Axl it's carmiedisco12 from HTGTH".....or more likely cos I express views deemed as unnaceptable on here that'd just get me in more hassles :)

(S)He's more concerned about Axl than the security? Because (s)he thinks Axl got upset once in the early 1990s with somebody taking pics? Wow.


Of all the shows I've attended, the ones who might object to cameras are local venue security.

In some places they are strict. In other places they don't care.



And then in some cases they make no sense at all. Like telling people not to stand in a certain spot, and then not noticing people jumping the barrier and standing in the same spot with no pass whatsoever.  :nervous:

We are the alternative view!

This is the alternative to everybody else.

Call us lemmings, fanboys etc. I don't give a fuck!

I'm past caring  what people sitting behind keyboards and screen think of me. Somebody in Australia doesn't like me? Big deal!



I take it as a compliment.

Us fanboys stick with the band, through everything. We don't believe in everything we're told by people who obviously have no clue about what they're talking about.

There will none of this drama with the Sydney show.
Olympic Park is it's own little precinct, well away from anywhere, so hope the boys take advantage and push us through till the little hours of the morning.

2007 shows at the Acer ARena adjacent the Stadium didn't start till 11.45pm and finished around 2-2.30am!
