Title: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: GNFNR_UK on June 13, 2006, 06:42:12 PM I found this video while searching for Download footage on Youtube. I apologies if it's already been posted and discussed.
Anyway the clip starts when the band had left the stage and the crowd are becoming restless, shouting various insults such as 'Wanker', 'Axl you ginger pre-Madonna' and 'We want Slash'. Axl returns to the stage looking pissed off but the band perform the song well, Axl just doesn't move much! It's a pity about these so-called 'fans', they would've really pissed me off had I been there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyDje3LsHY0&search=guns%20download *EDIT* forgot to mention that you get to see Tommy throw his bass and tell the crowd to stop throwing shit on this clip too! Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: axlrosegnr on June 13, 2006, 06:54:27 PM lol, that was awesome....maybe not the greatest performance for obvious reasons, but I do enjoy the fact that Axl still has his attitude :)

Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: LeviSnuts on June 13, 2006, 07:48:03 PM very interesting... amazing performance - though laking in energy...
i think Axl knows how important this tour is, I doubt the 2002 or 1992 Axl would have bothered to finish a show with bottles being thrown onto the stage Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: gunner mad on June 13, 2006, 07:50:15 PM That c**t was standing right behind me and was really getting on my tits, what i don't understand is if they dont want to hear them then why stay theres other things he could of done like slit his own throat ,and by the way he was singing his poxy little head off by the end .
feckin idiot :rant: Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: SkiX on June 13, 2006, 10:27:22 PM Axl looks crazy pissed just standing there, not moving...
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: Tomorrows on June 13, 2006, 10:29:41 PM Man, that made me want to cry. It was a small group of homos ruining the whole crowd atmosphere - you can hear its the same guys over and over again. Fuck off and dont watch the band if youre going to be like that.
I applaud Guns and their fans for trooping on. No band deserves that. Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: Johnnyblood on June 13, 2006, 10:45:38 PM You know, that does suck. But if Axl wants to start over he's going to have to pay some rookie dues. It's just that simple.
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: jimb0 on June 13, 2006, 11:12:33 PM No one deserves getting bottles of piss thrown at them while trying to entertain. :no:
Plus Axl sounds great and the band sounds f'n good. :yes: One bad apple spoils a whole damn bunch. Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: warrocks on June 13, 2006, 11:15:55 PM :o damn camera didn't focus tommy throwing the bass at all. >:( i wanted to see that very well ?:hihi:. wow axl touched tommy and he went nut, maybe axl passed him all the anger lol. watching this vid i got tense now I understand the fans there feeling nervious about the band going home in that moment or people starting a riot ?:-\
well done Tommy! ?:smoking: Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: HoldenCaulfield on June 13, 2006, 11:27:12 PM Yeah, I'm really proud of Axl. If this were anywhere in '02 or before, I'd have bet money the show wouldn't have lasted the whole time, as many difficulties as there were...
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: jameslofton29 on June 14, 2006, 12:43:41 AM Lord have mercy. That song is horrible live. Every version I hear is barely even worth listening to. I'm so glad the demo leaked before having to hear it this way. Only positive thing to say about this song is Finck does his parts well. No horrible fuckups. He has definitely improved.
Anyone else get the vibe that Axl was considering leaving? The way he is just standing there and scanning the crowd with that look. He definitely took the high road and stuck it out. He has definitely matured. Whatever dipshit yelled Metallica should be drawn and quartered. :hihi: Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: Jude on June 14, 2006, 12:49:45 AM Those english fuckers...
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: WhatIsItMan on June 14, 2006, 01:07:34 AM Tommy wants to be like Axl? ???
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: Gaymo, the Hobbit on June 14, 2006, 04:39:48 AM i'd like to shoot that dumb assholes who are booing
tommy was great though Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: mrlee on June 14, 2006, 07:18:02 AM Those english fuckers... and your a prick.... Axl made me laugh alot at the end with his comments, classic, you can tell hes had all the experience and he is older now. Tommy, fair play really, why everyones so annoyed at him i dont know, ive seen many bands do it before, like the sex pistols when they did there 90s tour they walked off the stage at roskslide festival and didnt comeback. Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: kaasupoltin on June 14, 2006, 07:50:23 AM No one deserves getting bottles of piss thrown at them while trying to entertain. :no: No one deserves to get hitted by a bass (except the ones who throwed bottles etc.) ::) Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: F*ck Fear on June 14, 2006, 08:00:07 AM Great song! They played it awsome. Too bad those asswhipes had to fuck things up.

I apologies if it's already been posted and discussed. Anyway the clip starts when the band had left the stage and the crowd are becoming restless, shouting various insults such as 'Wanker', 'Axl you ginger pre-Madonna' and 'We want Slash'. although i hated hearing that i di chuckle a bit when the "We want slash" Chants had finished as another group immediatly started up with "We want Duff" its what you call comedy timing Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: Big Gun on June 14, 2006, 08:28:48 AM this video kinda reminds me of the video Yesterdays.
whould've been really funny if Tommy after taking the mic from Axl said " thanks to some lame ass fans i'm going home" . what Axl would have done i wonder ??? here from another cam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqUDKa1Hdfw&search=guns%20download Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: supaplex on June 14, 2006, 09:33:08 AM isn't it weird to see axl standing around looking at tommy going on his little rant and saying nothing? it should be the other way around don't it? :hihi:
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: jimb0 on June 14, 2006, 11:07:18 AM can any one actually transcribe what Axl said before tommy, i can't totally figure it out.
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: anythinggoes on June 14, 2006, 11:22:03 AM can any one actually transcribe what Axl said before tommy, i can't totally figure it out.? he laughs and i think he says well besides our difficulties ... are you having a nice day? thats good to hear thats swell ??? (i think thats what he says) we'll try to muddle through Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: TheLizardKid on June 14, 2006, 12:37:54 PM What a bunch of total wankers at that show. That would have (almost) ruined my day if I had been there.
Title: Re: Boooos, chants and 'Better' from Download Festival Post by: madagas on June 14, 2006, 02:26:00 PM Axl says right before Tommy "I am trying to remodel the floor." referring to his slipping problems.
