Is this a Gene Simmons referencetempo_n_groove said:You must own a Cookie Monster sings Dylan album and have it on heavy rotation?"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Heard he rocked back in 2010 though. If it is Axl sounding great you want.Of The Aggie said:Saw GnR at ACL in 2019 and Axl couldn't sing. The rest of the band was great though. Wish I would have seen them with the classic lineup in their heyday.

No, you must like Dylans gravel voice that sounds like cookie monster...Spiritual_Chaos said:Is this a Gene Simmons reference0 -
My gosh, has it been this long?!?Spiritual_Chaos said:I saw the last tour with Marie, here in Sweden. Must have been 2015. On my birthday. Very happy I went. And she was still amazing. Even with resting on a stool all night. The rest of the "band" a bit goofy. Hehe.

Only one that I can think of that only comes close to fitting the premise of this thread (an interesting one at that). In the spring of 1974, my sister and I bought tickets to see Duke Ellington and his orchestra. The show was cancelled due to Mr. Ellington having an illness and within a few weeks he was dead. I so wish I'd taken the opportunity to see that giant of jazz at an earlier date.

1999. Was too late then.Ledbetterman10 said:I saw him around 2007ish and it was the same even back then. It wasn’t just the worst concert I’ve ever seen. It was the worst performance of any sort I’ve ever seen either live or on television. Just awful in every way imaginable.
And two we saw right before it was too late...Fleetwood Mac in 2015 right before they fired Lindsay Buckingham, and The Eagles in 2016 right before Glen Frey died.Post edited by JimmyV on___________________________________________

I saw them on the Coma tour (94?) and even then felt it was too late, since Izzy wasn’t around by that point. Still a good show (even had Axl cut the show short and storm offstage) though.Of The Aggie said:Saw GnR at ACL in 2019 and Axl couldn't sing. The rest of the band was great though.

Van Halen, after Dave was gone. With Sammy wasn't bad, but based on what could have been if I had been a little older and managed to get to one of their shows.0

I'm assuming you are saying the 1st time we saw them was too late, and not the latest time we saw them.
By that statement, I'd say Neil Young in ~1998. Just old dudes on stage playing to each other in what looked like a jam session in their basement. Little crowd interaction, played in a half circle facing each other for the most part. Just not for me at that time.0 -
Got to see them at a small punk rock club in Long Beach, CA called Fender's. They opened up for Cheap Trick, which was insane. They tossed out a couple of copies of their then new record called Live Like a F*cking Suicide. It was that early on and I will say it was glorious. I was front row and you could smell their junkie B.O. right when they stumbled onstage. I've probably told this story on these boards before, but that is what old men do.Of The Aggie said:Saw GnR at ACL in 2019 and Axl couldn't sing. The rest of the band was great though.

People say he sounds good a lot, and has off shows, but anytime I hear a recording he sounds ok.The shame of it is, that I saw two guns n' replacements shows when I live in Edmonton. I think the first one must of been around 06 maybe. The show was epic. It was so good, then Axl dueting with Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys was icing on the cake.I find it odd, that of the 3 times I saw GNR, my favourite was the guns n' replacement show, not the reunited lineup.0

There’s a ten year difference between 2006 and 2016. Axl ages.Zod said:I saw the reunited GNR in Seattle in 2016 and it was a pretty good show, but Axl doesn't quite sound like he did 30 years ago.

I guess I'll say Alice In Chains since I never got to see them with Layne Staley. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the times I've seen them with William though. I just wish I could have seen Layne once before he died.0

Meat Loaf in 94.

I saw them open for Aerosmith a few years after that.

That's cool. I've never been lucky enough to have seen a huge band before they were famous.lexicondevil said:Got to see them at a small punk rock club in Long Beach, CA called Fender's.

The only band I have that experience with is the one we all know and love, Pearl Jam, when I saw them in 1991. I’m 99% sure I had a conversation with Ed (or possibly one of the other members) outside when I had to go out to cool off for a few minutes (on the bootleg of their next show at the same venue a comment is made that if you’re too hot you can always step outside, but I can’t call that definitive proof, lol). Stoopid me wouldn’t see them live again until 2016 (though I did listen to many bootlegs along the way), lol.Of The Aggie said:That's cool.

That 1991 show blew my socks off! First time McCready melted my face!!!"The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

) and it was definitely too late because the songs were unrecognizable.
