guns n' roses

Vedderlution_Baby

Went to the G'N'R show Halloween night.



Two words.


FUCKING AMAZING!

Although the band didn't get on stage until 12 (which on a weekend wouldn't have been a big deal but on a Tuesday, sucked) they were very impressing. Axl still has it. The guitarist were all badass, although I enjoyed Robin Finck's stage presence the most. That dude just looked like he was happy to be playing.


First song was welcome to the jungle and man, when Finck came out and kept teasing us with the opening riff...everyone fucking went nuts.

Rob Thal's instrumental version of "Don't You Cry" was very awesome.

Simply put...it was a fucking awesome show.



Here is Guns N' Roses set list:

"Welcome To The Jungle"
"It's So Easy"
"Mr. Brownstone"
"Better"
Robin Finck solo
"Sweet Child O' Mine"
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door"
"You Could Be Mine"
Dizzy Reed solo
"The Blues"
Richard Fortus solo (includes "Beautiful" Yes, Beautiful by Christina Aguwhatever)
"Out Ta Get Me"
"November Rain"
Bumblefoot solo (includes "Don't Cry")
"My Michelle" (with Sebastian Bach)
"Patience"
"Nightrain"
"Paradise City"

Wow I didn't even notice that. I copy and pasted the setlist. Yea, they played L.A.L.D. Now I'ma haveta recheck the entire list. Sorry guys.

Vedderlution_baby! I heard that they always start late.

What was show time (not doors) on your ticket?

yes, they always start LATE AT NIGHT. But that does not make them LATE, as in they did not show up on time. Because if they are consistantly on stage late at night, then that should be considered when they always/normally/usually go on. you get my point....

Lynn

well....yeah. I want to know if I should arrive 4 hours after show time. I have trouble staying away past 10.

Vedderlution_Baby

Oh I knew they weren't going to be on until about 11 or 12. I didn't have a problem with it (I had to leave early though. had class in the morning and had to drive back home.... hour and a half away.) The time on my ticket says 8:00 but I knew that shit wasn't going to happen. Like I said before, the time thing wouldn't have been a big deal except that it was on a tuesday...so that sucked.

Dude that video of TWAT...the guitarist playing that solo at the end needed to be shot, I've never seen so much worthless shredding in my life. And Axl...I don't know, he doesn't seem like he's anything special anymore, its all reputation. He hit a nice scream late in the song but the rest of it he sounded like he was saving his voice for it, honestly. The new songs are kinda good though, Catcher in the Rye is surprisingly good, even though its weird as fuck.

Well, I went to the show last night in Greensboro and was blown away as expected. I don't have the setlist in front of me but they played Rocket Queen which they haven't been playing every night so I was very happy, plus they did a total of 5 new songs: Better, IRS, The Blues, Madagascar, and Chinese Democracy. I would've like to have seen There Was A Time, but I can't complain.

The guys went on at 11:40 and played till 2:05. And for all the naysayers who don't take this version of the band seriously, they simply don't have a clue. They put on one hell of a show and play their asses off. The only think I regret is not standing about 5 feet more to my left when Axl tossed out his mic at the end of show because if I had, it would've been mine.

YES! The ideal for me would be that on Sunday when I see them, they drop Knockin on Heaven's Door and play Rocket Queen... KoHD is a snooze-fest.

I always thought Knocking and Live and Let Die should be dropped from all live sets and replaced with some of the more obscure Illusion songs

It's like, ok - you did terrific covers of these songs, and basically own them now, but what is the point of playing them live? Those two live amount to about 10 minutes....fucking replace that crap with Coma!

I am seeing Guns N Roses tonight in Huntington WV....going with longtime buddies from high school...can't wait!

I have to haul ass after work from Cincy to Huntington, though. I want to see Sebastian Bach.

I think I'd die if that was played live. But I bet he couldn't even sing that without reading the teleprompter line by line... he's not like me, who can rattle off that entire song by memory.

I will say that I really miss the old way they used to do KOHD and could've done without it last night. Ironically though, I was totally blown away by Live and Let Die. I know that sounds weird because I saw them do it 93 and nothing stood out to me then, but they rocked that song in ways I didn't think possible. I definitely didn't expect THAT to be one of the highlights, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't.

Cool man. It definitely is not one of my favorites, but I could see it rocking -
I'm going to MSG in a week -
How did the show draw down there? 1/2 packed house? 3/4?

I feel the same way. when i saw them at Hammerstein, one of the highlights was LALD. I think it was because of Axl's scream...being there to witness it live was incredable.

The floor was only about 1/2 full and the seats were about 3/4. It supposedly was one of the weaker selling shows, but the band didn't let if affect them one bit. I don't know if it was because they were off the night before or what, but the fact that they played for 2.5 hours after going on so late just blew me away.

Yeah, Axl absolutely nailed the screams and that definitely helped put it over the top.

Looks like this guy got a great show, they just did Down on the Farm, only the second time they've ever played it and last time was over 16 years ago!
