Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Don't forget to watch tonight guys, there going to be performing FTP at the end of the show and I am excited to see them perform it live.

Me too! I hope it will be better than the first time they were on Leno because that performance wasn't quite top notch. I liked Letterman SO much better.  :peace:

today being october 14th?

yeah, today is still the 14th in the states.

thanks for the heads up naupis, i wouldve missed it! thanks again!!!! i cant wait!

Thanks for the reminder. I totally forgot about this.

Just caught it...great set, great performance.

Whew, what a performance.  I ran home from practice just in time to see Leno announce them.  Great show, although when I went to turn up the volume on the TV, I accidentally hit the channel up button and missed 5 seconds, no big deal though.  Great vocals by Weiland, Slash nailed the solo and the riff, Duff was rockin', Dave and Matt did well.  Very impressive performance.

I just came upon this thread a few minutes ago. I immediate tuned into Channel Four and sure enough caught Jay Leno beginning to announce the VR performance.

Overall a solid show - nothing mindblowing. I would have preferred if they had perfomed the song at the same pitch that they did in the album, cuz the lower picth made the song seem less aggressive than it is on the album.
I'll never get used to seeing the old GNR band lineup live on TV, a very special moment for us GNR fans, Im glad I still came upon it anywayz.
 :peace:
MNR

Yeah, kind of subdued, but they sounded great. I wish they would turn up the volume on Slash's guitar when they play on TV like that. You never seem to be able to hear him. That is my only complaint. Other than that they played and looked great out there.

Great performance, but I must agree..............TURN UP SLASH'S AMP!!!!!  Anyway, overall they sounded great.  Can't wait to hear them do some new songs now!

Weiland was flat out amazing, very strong performance.

I went to bed early, figured the video would surface, glad everyone seemed to enjoy it..

Just watched the performace.  A great showing by VR.  This band has really brought rock n' roll back in my life. 

Its was pretty good, probably better than they played it on wednesday

It was good! Scott's vocals were a little weak, I thought but the other guys were awesome. DEFINITELY better than when they performed "Slither" on Leno.

I fucking agree about the fucking amps. I hope they're not that weak at their gigs.

Anyone ever think it was done on a talk show, and from hearing their lives shows and reading a ton of reviews it's obvious their live shows are sounding great.. As for leno if slash's amp isn't loud then what can you do, it's one song..

A good show to watch outside of concert was when they performed fall to pieces live on some german talk show,...

I enjoyed it.............the background looked neat and the whole thing sounded good.  Weiland pulled it off damn well!.

i don't think he gets enough credit for how incredible his voice really is.

Agreed.

Like his lyrics or not, the man can flat out sing.  Multiple voices, great range, rarely hits a flat note.

i also think there is a subtle power to his voice that i don't see a lot in rock n roll where it is tempting to go over the top. i didn't realize until VR how good and solid his voice actually was.

just listen to Stp's "Atlanta(live)"

I didn't say it had anything to do with sounding great or not.. what I mean basically is that every time [VR] has performed on some late show, the amps are just not loud enough, and I anticipate that changing every time. I haven't been able to see them live because they apparently have Floridaphobia.

don't worry they're not that great live. all they're shows are the same. i found the lisbon show quite boring at the end. scott can only enternain for about 40 minutes. than it get anoying.

Will everyone please make a point of ignoring this post.  VR are fucking incredible live...

they're great for you, and since when is your opinion better than mine? i for one saw the entire show and i know what i'm talking about. the concert wasn't all that much. i'm not the only one sharing this point of view. it's just an opinion. it was good, not amazing. but the best thing was actually seeing slash live and trying to imagine he was with GN'R and not VR. sorry but that's how i felt after the show. and i know many others that didn't think the show was all that much either, or just hated it and left in middle of the set. it's just opinions. not everyone has to like it. so grow up. i didn't like. he might like. for they weren't that great live. end of story : ok:

Is it available to watch anywhere?

Did the fact you sat there wishing slash was in gnr and axl was singing make you enjoy the show less? I'm yet to read one review where someone hated the show so much they need to leave.

It's not important, but if you see vr you can't sit there being a skeptic wishing it was gnr or axl was fronting the band.. I can get into so many other bands, and enjoy their performances, it amazes me how so many can't..

FTP live on Pro 7 was MUCH better than this...   ;)

Very solid performance..Weiland sounded great

dude i love scott weiland but check out the NY ballroom show, he is off key the entire concert. the entire concert pretty much, it is pretty bad, i love scott but rarely hittin a flat note??? ok maybe its sharp instead of flat cause he is rarely dead on point.

What is this thing with Slash not bieng loud enough and muffled.

On tv appearances and even on the album; many say slash's sound isn't prominant as it should be.

Does he / they do it on purpose to sound current or what? I'm sorry, but this is slash, and i don't think it's a problem/or wrong for him to tear it up (wheather it seems self-indulgent to some or not)

Since I can only judge on what I've heard/seen, I can't make an objective comment on the NYC show,
never heard it...

hey man wait a second there, i as AT the NYC Roseland  Ballroom show and Scott was not off key, he nailed everything down extremely well, especially "Slither". That is the first negative comment ive heard about that show, and i dont understand why.

no no i love the show im just sayin scott was off key a bunch and didnt hit the notes, he dropped a lot of the stuff down an octave like on "Do it for the kids" the "runnin like a deer in the headlights" part.

i mean it was a great show, great energy,great chemistry, scott is amazing but just not on point always. that was the point i was making, on point means hittin every note on the cd the entire concert, at this show he drops a lot down an octave or so which is still cool *jon bon jovi does that shit all the time*


trust me, my bashin VR days are over, they are amazing and im a full fledged fanatic now.

scott was his best at that new york show. I've seen 4 shows so far. He was great in new and philly

Can someone answer this question? I would love to watch VR performing FTP in Leno.  :yes:

Go down to October 16 (http://www.belowempty.com/vr/index.php?p=news)

Thanks Booker, good stuff there!  : ok:

ok im sorry for buggin' out.  : ok:

Great to see the band play something on live television, but for whatever reason the band decided to play in a lower pitch than on the album.

to me this suggests that scott is already struggling to hit the high notes that he acheived on the album. so considering it should have been ''easier'' for weiland to sing in a slightly lower pitch im not sure how impressive his vocals actually were


slash matt duff and dave were definitely on 100% though. didn't miss a note. overall a good performance however. i just hope weilands vocal abilities aren't already in question.
