Cosmo, rate Axl's voice from 1 to 10.

I don't know... let's say a 6 would be the Live At The Forum livestream bootleg we have, I'd say 5. More rasp at some times but less breath, less power overall. Better than RiR IV, I'll surely give you that. That would be a 3 or 3.5, something like that tops.
How was catcher??

Seems to me that was the highlight of the set list I guess :/

Yeah, for me it surely was... Love the song. It was great to see it live. Especially that outro and the BBF solo. Loved it. Surely the standout of the night, IMO.

No surprises there... Wasn't expecting anything anyway.

God, username, are you not happy with Don't Cry being played in Rio for first time since '92? Or the cariocas getting Catcher for the first time? Nothing is enough for you people.

Is his hair longer?

Think he was playing it safe. When I saw GNR start the euro tour in norway 2010 it was a short set, as well as 2012 in russia The set grew longer 3 shows in to the tour ti a full 3 hours.

Not seen enough footage to comment on how Axl was, although that jacket is cool as fuck, its not the best sign that he still wearin jackets.

Did they play rocket queen?

Actually, from the little bit of info I have seen here, I think this might be a very positive beginning.

First, Axl does appear to be in better shape. He is thinner and his face doesn't look bloated. The clothing and accessories hide this too, so you can imagine that he is in even better shape than what we can see from tonight.

For a first show of a tour, it seems like they had their shit together.

I would never expect new songs at a first show. But it seems like..........this was a very consistent and good show. Axl has made changes. He sounded good in the few raspy clips I heard and he looks great.

I wouldn't be no negative right now.

True, I forget to give credit to Axl about his look. He looks a ton better and thinner than the last time around. That is good and will likely to show positively in his performance later on on the tour.

Mötörhead should also hit the tour next month. So we can compare who is in better shape Lemmy or Axl

Axl walking slowly for the intro to YCBM.

Wow. That is the least energy I have ever seen put into that song.

The Just Rolled Out Of Bed Lemme Grab My Jacket And Shades Tour enters its 3rd sad, depressing year.

These Nightrain clips... :(

Looking at those clips, he seems like he was possibly in a bad mood.

Given the late start, short(ish) show and setlist..... I'm guessing something happened before the gig that we don't know about.

Not saying they had anything special planned beyond what was on that setlist picture, but it does seem like something wasn't quite right tonight.

So, the highlights were 'Axl looks a wee bit slimmer', 'Axl has a new jacket' and a couple new solos (Just want to add that I used to cover Teenage Kicks in a band I played in about 15 years ago.. it really is a poor choice of a cover).

Not sure why I was expecting anything different (oh yeah Team Brazil...)

This dissapointment probably means my short lived return to forums will probably end here, not wasting time on a band that clearly doesn't give 2 flying fucks about their real fans, just happy to play the hits, play it safe and build their wealth.

This NuGNR 'band' was over when Robin left, I knew it, it's just taken you all longer to realise.

I dunno, I guess we'll see, but the first show of every tour usually has a short setlist, and late starts are nothing new for GNR. One of the best shows I saw started after midnight, so starting time isn't really indicative of mood or quality. Abu Dhabi 2013 he started early but it was a mediocre performance.
