Nosaj Thing Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Nah. He sounds flat out bad, no matter how you slice it. They're running out of excuses and blind supporters. That's gotta mean something. Edited March 21, 2014 by Nosaj Thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If Axl was jetlagged he pulled it off well. With all due respect, but this is bullshit. Jet lag should not even be considered a determining factor in this case."With all due respect, but this is bullshit." Maybe we should start over.Is everyone here hostile all the time?If you are sincere, I just think the first show is more of a challenge, don't you?Not if you rehearse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Ok, I just woke up and I'm not going to write a whole review of every aspect of the concert, just a few topics.Axl seemed in a little bit slimmer, his voice was good (not better than 2010, of course) but I really enjoyed what I heard, and he was in a great mood...smiling and joking around all the time!About the setlist: I only realized they didn't play Rocket only when me and my buddies were going to get the car on the parking lot. It made NO difference on the show for me. And they played CATCHER! I lost my shit on that one...Before Patience DJ got in front of me (I was on the front row, a little bit to the right) with a bottle of jagermeister and gave it to the security guy for him to pass it around the audience. I drank a shot of it (first time) and I can't believe I wasted so many years of my life without drinking this amazing thing...Axl saw my friend's "W. Axl Rose" tattoo on her left arm and pointed at her, smiling.All I know is that I had a blast! The only thing I don't like at all is the late start. The band started the show 1h45 late. This way you are tired as fuck when the concert starts...but well...I recorded two videos yesterday.Thanks for the videos and your review, Pinball Wizard, glad you enjoyed the show Hopefully I won't be so much of a scrooge as I am now come the 6th of April.

DCK82 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You can't judge a performance, specially a vocal one, using cell phone videos as a basis. His voice was good, he hit the notes. Many press vehicles are calling it his best performance in Brazil after the golden days.Heeeeeeere we go again... You can't judge a performance, specially a vocal one, using cell phone videos as a basis. His voice was good, he hit the notes. Many press vehicles are calling it his best performance in Brazil after the golden days.This!You people are the reason why Axl doesn't have to give a shit anymore. Your mediocre standards are so low you would buy Axl's shit for $200. You can't judge a performance, specially a vocal one, using cell phone videos as a basis. His voice was good, he hit the notes. Many press vehicles are calling it his best performance in Brazil after the golden days. Your right you can't... unless it is good If it sounds good, Axl is on fire, if it sounds bad the audio and video equipment are shit You can't judge a performance, specially a vocal one, using cell phone videos as a basis. His voice was good, he hit the notes. Many press vehicles are calling it his best performance in Brazil after the golden days.But you can!Were any of you guys at the gig? This guy was, says he enjoyed it and that Axl sounded good. What's your problem?From the videos, he sounded better than he has done for the past 2-3 years. Not perfect obviously, but definitely an improvement, and I imagine he sounded really good to all the people in attendance.The constant negativity on this forum is fucking unbearable...

Many press vehicles are calling it his best performance in Brazil after the golden days.I heard it was solid show from someone who actually went. The voice was strong, the crowd was pumped the whole time, screaming until the end. With all due respect...so what? What is that statement's relevance? You mean fans that paid money to go see Guns N' Roses in concert were singing along with 'Sweet Child O' Mine'??? Well, I'll be damned.

And the rest of the band flew in earlier so they wouldn't be jetlagged.I'm glad people who went to the show enjoyed it, though even the reviews are HTGTH are middling with faint praise at best.

Russel Nash Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) This is what i love. ppl losing their shit after seeing comments about those who where actually there enjoying the show. The same ppl was up allllll night to see how this gig goes, with high hopes of a new song or a disaster. Then complain about ppl who have high hopes.. And every time GNR is up there on the first leg of the tour is the same routine.Then i realize i love you guys, this is the best forum in the world.Note for those ppl please notice: GNR is on autopilot from 2011, and it's not that bad after all. You get to see them on the road. The bad thing is that they seems like there will be this way for a long time.Edit: Gotta love those last posts ha!

You two whiny bitches sound like you are a pair of fat chicks. At least I will never be mediocre enough to accept a shitty performance from Axl as "good" or "great". I'll take "whiny" instead of "delusional" any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll rephrase 'cause, yeah, I'm sincere.With all due respect, I disagree. Because we're not talking about some indie band. I believe Axl and Guns N' Roses have everything they need to make the first show less of a challenge. And the agents that book the band should do their best to ensure they don't have to face any complications. And since this is the first show of the tour and jet lag is such a big problem, you can always come to the city where the gig is supposed to take place a couple of days earlier.

You can also keep going online to share your hate, and to try and cut down other people's enjoyment of Guns n Roses, searching for positive comments to reply with insults.Meanwhile, I'll be enjoying what's left of Guns (which is decent), be glad if they release some good songs, and hope for solid performances from old man Axl, like yesterdays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
