Here Today... Gone To Hell!

No thread yet? What's that?!

What time are GNR hitting the stage and are we getting live updates??

The festival is today, and I don't know if we have anyone from the board who is there that will give updates.

well these are the board members who are going :

Damir, leila, Lucs, Nik?, Steph, tonya_ytzerman

But I don't think anyone is gonna give live updates  :-\

yeah, this is up-to-date the most silent concert... hope eventually we will get at least a few live updates. ah, well

hmm, might italy be too far away?  :-\

news will come from there

http://www.gnrfrance.net

If only I could parle fran?ais.

that hour begins the show the GN'R?

that's very dr?le what tu viens de dire.

say gnr comes on in 25 mins ... yeah right ....

newgnr.com said theyd be getting live updates.. ill go searching sites and post all i get here...

you are right..this is one silent show for the boards..

Live updates might appear to mygnr also..

No live stream of this I assume?

my friend, if there was a live stream... this thread would be 80 pages longer and full of people saying... OMG link me! link me!!

I just went trough the forum at GN'R France.

It's 11 pm here in Europe, GN'R just took the stage. (Soundcheck was arround 10 pm)

still no updates on gnrfrance

The Greek will save the day again...  ;D

Thanks to blueheart.

Setlist so far:

WTTJ, Easy, Mr. Brownstone, LALD, Robin Solo, SCOM, Better...

To be continued...

awsome

I wonder if the band will get bored of playing the same setlist

The same Set List nigth by night hehehehe


Thanks for the up dates ?: ok:

well it's not the same setlist every day. they play the songs in different order every night, well except of the first 3 or 4 songs, and the last one of course

Well, I guess you'll never find out.

Cmon people, cant you just enjoy the moment and stop whining for a second?

Im not whining I love that fact theyre touring, I saw them at hammerstein, great show.  I just hope for their sake they know what theyre doing

Its to early to they get  bored , only 9 shows .... to they get bored  is about afeter  one year  :nervous:

I just holpe and think in the US tour they wil change the set list and play more songs , new songs .  :peace:

Isn't that exactly what the bands should be doing while touring? Playing the same setlist again, and again, and again...

Thanks for updates Christos :)

Yes but theres a plethora of songs they can choose from, both new and old.? But it's still the same from 2002 and that didnt have a happy ending


sorry they ve added twat, irs and better

open your eyes, it's not the same setlist as in 2002.
and now back to business..

christos please..? ;)

any further updates ag

well.. they have played Better at every show in '06...

the first single?

first single was saposed to be i.r.s i thought

nobody knows the first single.....except madison of course :hihi:

People, it's blueheart's first show, so I guess she's a bit excited.

I've just sent her an sms, waiting for an answer.

So, patience...  ;)

madison knew axl's intentions for the first single back in '02 but i doubt its the same now. it is axl rose after all.

well since she won't tell anybody i guess she's bound to be right

ah bless her  :P seriously thank her from all of us

that's true. i happen to know the first single and i will tell you as soon as it hits the radio ?:-X.

Dizzy solo, Blues, YCBM, KOHD, Ron Thal solo...

To be continued...

Don't Cry by Ron

I love Ron...

Interesting Don't Cry has been played again. It shows Axl has definatly seen what we have been wanting and is slightly appeasing it. They are bound to perform the song again but when is the question...

Setlist so far:

WTTJ
Easy
Mr. Brownstone
LALD
Robin Solo
SCOM
Better
Dizzy solo
Blues
YCBM
KOHD
Ron Thal solo Don't Cry


To be continued...

just curious...is the sound a bit heavier for this show? considering it's for a metal festival....maybe upping the tempo a bit? how is the crowd receiving them?

@ ashlar....maybe the guitarists can pick what they want for solos ;)

Christos AG; thanks by info, Axl is back.....

 ;D and we all believe that!!

That's true but if Axl was deadset on the song being 'retired' then he wouldn't want Thal playing it. It's pretty obvious Thal browses the internet alot so he prolly got the idea himself.

i dunno...I think that the setlist was agreed upon by the band not just Axl...so maybe they chose not to do Don't Cry...i have no idea...

The G'N'R france site is giving some updates too..They say that Axl is in a good mood and that his voice sounds great.

not everone can read his site that is why we come here
but can u give a link to the update page on the site

http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/actualites-news-guns-n-roses/mises-a-jour-en-direct-de-milan-en-italie-gods-of-metal-456.htm

Looks like the updates on GNRFrance are not that current, just has the begining typical setlist.

 :rofl: :hihi: :hihi:

thank u for being fast and cool for the link

its great having GNR tour again, the Hammerstein shows seem so long ago !

We lost Will  ;D , webmaster of GnR french website and forum, he must be somewhere, taking good times in Paris  :hihi:

Aye it does! I actually think about the show quite frequently wishing I had of gone to all 4 instead of just the 12th. Fuck that show was amazing.

Rocket Queen, November Rain...

And here's the first pic...

(http://www.gunsnroses.gr/Christos/DSC00120.jpg)

yeah i definetly wish i went to more, instead of one. ?well when they tour in NA in the fall i ll do my best to try to go to atleast 2

great pic !

cool pic

Richard solo, Richard+Robin+Ron You're beautiful, Out Ta Get Me.

Some asshole threw some metal on the scene that said "fuck you" and Axl dedicated "Out Ta Get Me" to him...

richard, robin and ron did a solo together?

what a jerkface. hope someone beats the crap out of that guy

Damn the solo Beautiful was awesome with 2 guitars....I can't even imagine what it sounds like with 3 guitars.  I hope some good audio comes out of this ;D

same question here

Well, so far on the tour it was just Robin and Richard, but that's what blueheart wrote on the SMS message... Maybe she made a mistake cause of the excitement.

Anyway, thank her for the updates. I'm just the messenger...  :peace:

Ugh, this is the show I've been dreading the most. I've been so weary as to how this crowd would react to the set-list. GNR's show isn't a "metal" show. Hope everything turns out great, though.

I was thinking of going to 2-3 canadian dates and maybe even another NYC date :P

What are you talking about metalheads love GNR and besides they are headlining the festival most of the people there went to see GNR.

There will always be some assholes its a matter of probability.

I'm sure it'll be fine. ?There's always a few assholes in any crowd. ?SOME hardcore metal fans probably aren't thrilled that GNR is on the bill since they're not a metal band. ?But most people are open-minded. ?I'm sure the place is packed with enough GNR fans.

isn't duff playing with aic at this gig?.... any word on the posibility he'll join them for a song? 

Madagascar, My Michelle with Sebastian Bach

To be continued...

you get asshole's at any GNR gig! "where's slash" lol :hihi:

After Axl said that Slash said that Duff is spineless, I'd think there's more of a possibility that it was Duff who threw the "fuck you" piece of metal at Axl than there's a possibility that Duff will join in on a song.? :hihi:

baz sang with axl on madagascar ? ?:o

lol, i don't think thats what was meant!

What does that mean? ?:nervous:

so????

oh man, i thought axl was sporting a bandana in that picture. i got excited and was just about to start sending txt messages to everyone!

Here's what I got from my guys there: http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/actualites-news-guns-n-roses/mises-a-jour-en-direct-de-milan-en-italie-gods-of-metal-456.htm

what does "(en entier apparemment)" mean? he played the whole thing?

Patience, Robin Solo, Nightrain with Sebastian Bach, Axl introduces the band, I.R.S.

To be continued...

It means: "in complete apparently" so in the context it would mean that he played the whole thing apparently  :)

nightrain with bach? awsome

might mean all three guitarest on solo

is it just me or does this setlist seem a little unusual. not that thats a bad thing, its great  : ok:

yeah en entier = in its entirety

it seems cool but still same old same old songs

yes, but i bet some people will start whining about the setlist soon, you'll see

i know but see the collectors it is same old same old but to others that get some things it is great

i like all shows no matter same old same old some shows he has more energy to bring out the songs

i see  ;D

Nightrain with Bach Huh ? ;D ?thats cool.

can some one put the setlist up to date to this point

How would we know?

The show has ended already.

I got a call 4 minutes ago and everybody was leaving the venue...

I know, it's just because of the "Warning! Someone else has posted" feature or whatever, I didn't see your post.

Thank blueheart for us for the updates AG ... youze are the best!!! ?:-*

ok it doesn't matter guys ;D

thanks to you for updating  :peace:

yes it was awsome

LOL...

Well, seems like it was a great show. Axl and the band were in a great mood so I guess almost everybody there (except from the asshole with the metal) had a good time...

thank you to everyone who provided updates

hope those who attended enjoyed the show  : ok:

Great stuff. Hopefully we'll get a few pics from this one  :P

Guns are doing so many concerts these days its almost hard to keep up.  :hihi:

Thanks for the updates AG.

^ what he said :beer:

the updates are really appreciated from all of us americans on the other side of the pond!!! thank you!!!

 ;D

it feels good but. this is the first show to really hit me since izzy new york. im so fucking excited. good times.

2nd that  :beer: Love your username by the way.

I wonder how long it will be until Sebastian Bach gets a solo  :yes:

 :rofl: :rofl:

Nicely done.
 :beer:

Got to love Axl!  :rofl:

Once again, no There Was A Time :(

someone who attented the show wrote that someone threw a bracelet on stage which said "out ta get me", and then axl?wore it and dedicated that song to that person who threw it. so no "fuck you" on a metal

and here's a pic of the show
http://rapidshare.de/files/22230957/gunners_milano.JPG.html

thanks for the pic!!

its amazing
the amount of cel phones and cameras!!!!!  :o

Here is a bunch of pictures, courtesy of Avanti @ thenewguns.com

http://jok365.net/gnr/

Awesome!! He went sleeve-less again!! I love seeing that!  :love:

No CD again  ???

yeah, why the fuck don't the play more new songs, i really don't understand this... ???

Holy crap, Axl looks fantastic...

This is pretty usual in Italy! I'm half-italian and people at my age already had cellphones before I even realized they existed ?:hihi:

great. you can see two people filming the show on this picture:

(http://jok365.net/gnr/PICT1281.JPG)

How many people were there?

Yeah, I dont understand why the song is now being ignored. Question to those of you who were in NY: Did this song get a lukewarm response? Its the title track of the album, and its also a short song. No reason to not play it.

I was at the last show, the crowd loved it. Saw a lot of people really rocking out to it. It's a great rock song, especially with the new intro. I really have no clue as to why they aren't playing it at every show. Same with 'T.W.A.T'...  ???

yea i never thought much of CD, but when i heard it at hammerstein, i was like what the fuck is this, it was awesome and the crowd was into it.  i think the song could be a potential opener, and twat a potential closer.  so hopefully they ll play them again soon.

same setlist again?

Well, TWAT is longer than CD, so its a little understandable if it isn't in the setlist. Two AFD songs might have to be dumped to include it. :hihi: CD has been played since 2001. It needs to be in the setlist. I have loved CD since the first time I heard it. CD and The Blues is what made me realize this band could really do something incredible. Yeah, CD would be a great opener. Hell, I thought it was potentially the first single until they dropped it from the setlist.

Bach on Nighttrain? That must have kicked some ass.

fuckin cool of Axl Rose to just wear a shirt on stage  instead of  a vest with a shirt underneath it made him look kind if fat at rio.  This is a cool look.     

anyone notice the drum kit with the old-new logo on it?

Thanks for the updates and photos people!!!

I honestly think C.D is the most lyrically weak song of the new batch... like "it would take a lot more time than you.. have got for masturbation".. I expect more maturity these days on the new songs.. would be better if it was ... "than you have for procrastination"... even then I still don't think the song is that strong lyrically. But, it does have a catchy intro.. and a good beat. I really don't think single material though.

Ohh, and it got good applause in NYC all 3 nights I went.

 :peace:

Thanks man, great pictures! Axl is looking fantastic in that sleeveless shirt.

""it would take a lot more time than you.. have got for masturbation"

Read between the lines, see beyond the face value. "Masturbation" could mean self-indulgence or narcissism.

Those pics are awsome btw.

Its only lyrically weak to those who think its about China. If you'll look past that, you will see he is talking about his fans and the possibility of the album not even coming out. But this isn't the thread for a discussion about that, and its been discussed many times.

I'm glad it got positive responses in NY. He should give the song a chance to get positive responses in other countries also. :hihi: I have always thought it would be a good single. Like you said, catchy intro, and its length is perfect for radio. But excluding it from the setlist pretty much rules it out ever being a single.

Hmmm, never really looked at the lyrics that closely, I never thought it was about the album or the fans at all... I'll listen again another time in that aspect, but it was always one of the songs in NYC near the end of the show, and it got cheered pretty good, I mean I don't hate it, I just put it on a level with lets say "my michelle" or "perfect crime"

I didn?t hear any Slash-Calls in Germany  : ok:

Doesnt mean there werent any though.

Any Buckethead-calls ?

I wonder if there will be some Finck-calls when the guy won't be in the band anymore... :)

I have a feeling that Izzy Stradlin is going to rejoin GNR , I don't know why? I just have a feeling.? If that happens I know that Bumblefoot would probably be the guy who gets dropped.? Which i think would suck? because I think Finck is a terrible live guitarist.? if Ron Thal were no longer in the band? I? wish that Fortus? got all the major leads? instead of finck.? Robin is just too sloppy.? This band still doesn't have that Guitarist that someone can associate with the band .? With the old band? when you thought of guitarist ( slash immediately came to mind )? With this band? you don't know which guitarist to identify with GNR? ?it's all over the place .? ?I would hate to think that Finck would have to be that guitarist , he's just not world class in my opinion.? And it couldn't be Ron Thal because he hasn't written any of the new material .? Richard fortus joined the band in 2002? when almost all of the material was already created.? ?This band has no identity as far as a guitarist.?  Buckethead was that identity but too much of a freak in my opinion.   Is it that hard to find a guitarist that looks and plays badass?     

The album not even coming out ? ;D
Axl is in to Geffen Records for about $13,000,000. If the album doesn't go Platinum (which it won't) and Axl cancels any shows at all this summer, he is going to go to PRISON for de-frauding Geffen out of 10 years and a shitload of money.

I think they should just go ahead and have Axl arrested.

Source? As far as I know, we basically know shit all about what has gone on the during the recording process of CD apart from speculation and vagueries. Stuff has been created and recorded, but is it going to be CD? To make the assertion that CD was mostly created pre-2002 we would need answers to these questions:

- What will be on CD?
- Who's writing the stuff?
- When was it written?
- When was it recorded?
- Who's played on the stuff?

There has been good guesses, but no solid answers as of yet. In fact, Axl himself said the band went into a productive creative period AFTER Buckethead left. Who knows, maybe a lot of CD will come from that  ???



Ridiculous - GnR's record company own what they have created, which is two and a half albums of stuff apparently. They can just release that to reap the cash if they want. THEY are indulging Axl and giving him the privilege of playing things on his own terms. Axl is doing nothing illegal by using that.

And for the sake of argument, do we even know the details of the contract GnR is currently under?


-------------

Besides this is all way off topic. We should create a new thread if people are really interested in discussing this.

Gimme a break. ::) You say that all the time. Give reasons why you really think it wont go platinum instead of just saying that. Hell, the response to that lame hits album is just one of many examples it will go far beyond platinum.

Is anyone denying that the stuff was mostly written before fortus arrived?? Haven't we heard at least 6 songs that will make cd?? The leaks seem to be pre fortus being those names were mentioned a few years before.. Maybe fortus is like bfoot

On a 13 track album though that leaves another 7 songs we havent heard. Itd be absurd to think that the whole of CD is stuff that could have come out at least 5 years ago.

of course it will go platinum, but I wonder why it'll go platinum or multi platinum? Will it be because new gnr music in 15 years or will it be because of a powerfull single drving people to the stores..? There's a big difference between those two situations.. Judging by greatest hits and no publicity it's the gnr name selling eevrything, is it impulse buying when people check the gnr racks?

Well seeing how long axl has been talking about how cd could drop for years now it's safe to say every song has been in the works for a very long time.. Kurt loder was talking to axl about cd in 99

Course CD will go platinum the name alone will be enough to sell that much, the quality of the music probably determines on how much higher sales go.

Fortus said in 2004 or 2005 that he hadn't written with the band and his recordings were 'quick'. Seems like he's not really involved.

Good point. You should bring this up in every Fortus thread that comes up.

But Fortus is the backbone of the band OMFG Why.. Why?? Do You people LIE  :rofl: :rofl:

Oh OK. Point conceeded.

But, to drag the argument on - him admitting he doesnt participate in the song writing does not mean it hasnt been ongoing after 2002.

I hope its a lie. I would have to tear down my Fortus statue. :hihi: I also spent my life savings on having a temple built to honor him. There wasn't a money back guarantee. :rofl:

Going back on topic for a second... ;D

Some cool pics taken by Greg for GN'R France: http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/groupe/galerie.php?path=/concerts/2006/05_07_europe/0604_milan - more to come (please do not hotlink the pics, thanks, you can link to the gallery though if you want to)

I've been thinking a lot about this too... and the conclusion I've kind of come to is that maybe we aren't supposed to be looking to the lead guitarist position for that "#2 guy" in the band or whatever. The more I've followed the modern Guns... the more I've come to feel that Tommy Stinson is really the #2 guy behind Axl. He's easily the most independently famous member in the band (Dizzy's fame comes from being a minor role player in the old GN'R, and the live NIN players (Robin) never got much notoreity)- and we know he's stood up to Axl already and lived to tell the story (showing me that Axl values greatly what Tommy brings to the band and that he wields a certain level of power and influence that I can't imagine that the other players have)- and if Axl were to fire his ass tomorrow- Tommy would immediately land on his feet as the bassist for Soul Asylum, taking part in a Replacements or Perfect reunion or recording his eagerly awaited for follow-up to VGH. Can't really say the same for the other guys.

Additionally, I think having the lead guitar slot be somewhat of a blurry "hard to define" entity in new Guns is a designed way to water down the Slash v. X comparisons, as well as, a way for Axl to maintain control over the whole thing.... once you have a lead guitarist that's becoming a star in his own right... then suddenly, potentially, you're right back in the whole old Axl v. lead guitarist arguments, etc. I don't think Axl wants that this time around.

Isn't there a review in english? :(

Sorry, all my fellow gunners from the site are French-speaking only :( (well, they speak English but I can't really see them translating their reviews lol ;D).

You will find reviews in English made by me for the concerts I'm going to: Dublin, Paris, Oslo and Wembley (both dates).

Maoaxl, I agree with you completely. Axl has his bases covered with these three players. All are very different but they, as a team, make up for the absence of Slash sonically. Yet, they aren't a threat to Axl's dominance. Tommy is definitely the number two man in terms of personality and perceived power. We should wait and hear the album before judging the guitarists ultimate worth and contributions.? :beer: Izzy isn't coming back ::) maybe a few shows or in a limited writing capacity but that would be it.

Tommy = The General  :hihi:

I still think Robin is the soul of this band, musically anyway. Better is a prime example of it. He would be the biggest loss to this band if he ever left. Brian May said he was brought in (after Robin quit) because Axl was so emotionally attached to Robins work and couldn't listen to it.

some cool shots : http://jok365.net/gnr/


(http://jok365.net/gnr/PICT1323.JPG)

I think Tommy is also the #2 man..Without a doubt...Tommys awsome as long as he dosent wear that stupid skirt thing...IN order of power id have to rank it like this
Axl
Tommy
Dizzy
Robin
Richard
Bumblefoot
Brain
Pittman

There's no way Dizzy is over Robin! And Bumblefoot over Brain? I don't think so.

Even though I don't know one way or the other about the seniority (or rank) in this band, I will agree Pittman is low man on the todempole :hihi:

sounds utterly BS. Pittman is always on the top of the stage alongside with Dizzy.

This band is not about who is the bigger.  Everyone is doing what he is good at.
I don't see the pecking order there. ::)

But I still think BH may be coming back with the release of CD.

Hey guys, I just came home from Italy.

Show was fucking fantastic. Everyone was in good mood. Crowd wasn't all "metalheads", don't worry. Most people were GN'R fans, I've seen literally few thousands GN'R T-shirts. Everyone was waiting for them. People were singing along to every song, and you could hardly hear Axl sing, except when he was reaching high-tones. His voice was great but he was sometimes out of breath, and his voiced should have been a little stronger IMO. But then again, he had to "compete" with thousands of people singing, so it's normal you couldn't always hear him.

Setlist was as mentioned above. A long show, with 4 new songs played. There were many solos, I can't even remember who played and when. Axl was in good mood, you could see that. He was interacting with the crowd: he made comments about big sings in the crowd. Concerning that bracelet - someone threw that on stage, and Axl put it on his hand, called the camerman to film it so we could see it (but I didn't), said thank you to that person and dedicated "Out Ta Get Me" to him. People were chanting "Guns N' Roses" and "ole - ole - ole - ole - Axl - Axl" (some Italian sport chant), but Axl didn't like it. Then he sang a bit of "The Roof Is On Fire", and Sebastian Bach came to share vocals on My Michelle and last part of Nightrain.

Overall, it was a great show, my first GN'R experience (If you don't count VR ;D). I admit I wasn't expecting so much of them, but these guys fucking rock.

Who are the people to the left of the stage - members of a band watching?

Great. Thanks for the review Damir. "ole ole ole" is an international football chant.

Do you know the attendance for the show?

20.000

http://musicametal.blogosfere.it/2006/06/ma_chi_lavrebbe.html

That's what I'm asking myself also.
I was in the area right in front of the stage, and I didn't leave it
after Deftones, so I couldn't judge how many people were back.

Proof please.

great pics : ok:

thx for the links :-*

beautyful pics! thx for the link man! : ok:

And Robin left in '99. He was called back - despite the bitter comments he gave to the press while touring with NIN. He stood up for Axl after MSG '02. He's still in the band. Not taking anything away from Tommy, but he's not the only one in the band who dares to call a spade a spade in front of Axl.

Well I started the lives update for GNRFrance but then I ran out of money on my cell phone :P

The show was just great ! I'll soon put online a great video of My Michelle filmed by Skippy from GNRFrance 8)

Well I read "Fuck Me" on the bracelet, but I was pretty far... but some friends of mine who were just in front of the stage read "Fuck Me" too !

Did Axl actually sing "Don't cry" or did Bumblefoot just play it again??

Bumblefoot played it in is entirety and sang it too (but not in front of the mic), to lead the audience into the song...

Yup, the audience sang it, it's a really cool moment ! The audience seemed to like it ! 8)

I'd rather have Axl Rose and the rest of the band playing it than have Ron just jamming it out..........

that would at least add another illusion song to the setlist.

I understand the point you're making here but I think having Bumblefoot play it as part of his solo and having the audience sing it is the perfect way for them to make an instant "GNR rapport" between 'the new guy' and the fans.? IMO, a very smart move.? : ok:

Robin was bitter because of all his hard work and still not album in site at the time, that is why robin, josh and billy left the band

I agree that CD would not be a popular single even tho I love the song, but I think your taking the masturbation line the wrong way. He doesnt mean jerking off, he means I guess that he thinks the Chinese Government is jerking with their people, I dont know if i sound stupid, its hard to convey what I really mean. I know ax said he wrote it after he saw that movie, but I think this song, is a probably an extremely intense political song, that just uses lots of metaphors. I f im wrong i dont care, Dont flame me, its stupid when people do that.

Bumblefoot after the concert:

(http://www.gnronline.org/Guns%20n'%20Roses/Immagini/New/Tour/Euro06/10-GODSOFMETAL/010.jpg)

Was there onstage more jam sessions?

PS: Ron looks vaguely 'rock star' in the above pic. Wish he'd stop smiling so much though, he's supposed to be in a 'badass' rock n roll band  ;)

What does he have to be pissed about - the guy just won the lottery  :hihi:

Hey guys... I just came back in Athens. I have seen old GNR twice in the past and I have to admit that this concert has nothing to do with them. This concert was too lounge for GNR but I really had a great time. Everything was amazing. Axl gave 100% of himself and his voice was better than ever. The show didn't have much delay. It was scheduled for 22.00 and they were on stage at 22.50 - as soon as the set up was ready. The set list was:

Welcome to the jungle
It s so easy
Mr Brownstone

The show ended at 01.15 - two hours and 25 minutes long!!!!

Sebastian Bach was on stage for My Michele and Nightrain and both Axl and SB seemed to have fun - AXL during the most songs used to talk to the crowd
There was a flag with Axl is God written on it and when Axl saw that said that he is not god, and if he was the 3/4 of the crowd would be girls and the rest would be pizza - I guess this was funny
Someone throw a bracelet that was saying "Fuck me" on the stage and Axl dedicated to him the out ta get me
Robin walked down to the crowd during My Michele and Bumblefoot during Paradise city

I liked the new version of Knocking on heavens door and the new songs as well (but I was surprised to see that only few people knew their lyrics)

Here are some pics - Hope you like them.

I'm still too much moved...I will never forget last Sunday night..so..I'm sorry for my bad english.. :P
Well,I arrived to Milan on Saturday morning and it was a very good day,I saw stratovarius,helloween,motorhead and especially great performance of def leppard and whitesnake (David Coverdale..what a legend..!!).
Just 2 hours of sleep and Sunday morning I was again there to wait for the opening of the gates.. I took the wristband and I spent the rest of the day to meet some friends,sleep on the grass and eat ice-cream..I was very nervous.. ::)
And..when the Korn show finished...what a moment..interminable minutes....and..when started WTTJ intro...the Axl's scream..oh my god..my heart was fired!!Great show!!!Axl was perfect,incredible voice,great look,was happy,he has danced ?
and he has run everywhere..and I liked very much the band..high intensity and a lot of passion....great show,incredible...I don't find the right words...I'm still excited...
Song list was very good..I'm very happy and surprised to listen a very "hungry" version of IRS!!And also..the special guest Sebastian Bach!!Some special moments:KOHD,SCOM,Nightrain,November rain,Rocket Queen,My Michelle,Out ta get me...Madagascar..but really I can't choose..I loved all!!Probably I'm not objective...I waited so much this moment...It was all so great!!Thanks Guns n' Roses!!Thanks Axl!!It was one of the most exciting moments of all my life..and now..Paris!!? ?:beer:
Later I'll try to post some pic...

Tell them about You're Beautiful... Noone believed me. Well, to be honest, even I didn't believe me...  ;D

ok... let's do that clear. Richard was doing his solo and then Robin and Ron started playing the u r beatiful...
I don't know if Richard played the whole song but I could see him playing at the beggining.
Maybe he didn t finish it or he may went somewhere on the stage that I couldn t see him anymore...

My brain remembers another thing: Axl introduced Bumblefoot as "the new kid on the cock... errr... block" (intentionally).

And he introduced Fortus as "someone who will move to California", or something like that...

Also, if someone has bootleg of this show, or any previous acts (Alice In Chains and KoRn particulary),
please put the link here or pm me.  :)
I must have it, I'll kill to have it if I have to!
 

I was there from the 5 am in the morning

thanks, there were some good pics there.  :peace:

Very true. Robin deserves his due as well. I think of him as kind of the "Izzy Stradlin'" of the new GN'R. A very important song-writer and influence on the band's "vibe" in general- while live chops not necessarily being his strong suit... kind of like Izzy back in the day.

Anyway, it will be easier to nail down a "pecking order" with this band after they actually release the album and make some videos, etc. I'm pretty sure that up until they made it big, Izzy Stradlin' was clearly the #2 man behind Axl, and Slash was just a VERY young hotshot lead guitarist... but not necessarily a band "leader". All that changed once Appetite for Destruction went huge and their videos were all over MTV. Slash became an international star virtually just as famous as Axl , and Izzy was relegated to a role well behind Slash and Duff. The same thing could happen here... maybe Bumblefoot (my best guess) or someone will become an international star overnight eclipsing everyone in the band except for Axl... at which point we'll definitely know who the #2 is.

Anyway, sounds like a great show in Milan. Good setlist and some great photos coming in. :peace:

Thanks for the pics leila!!!!!!!!! :)

One quick question about GoM .... Was their available GNR merchandise? T-shirts and stuff...? And a price ?


tnx



[m.]

They sold unofficial T-shirts, flags and wristbands outside the venue for 10 Euro.

There was offical merchandising in the venue. But there were only 3 types of T-shirts,
not all of them. Price was 30 Euro. (greedy bastards! :rant:)
Also, you had official festival t-shirts for 20 Euro.

they are perfect to me
thx for sharing : ok:
