17h00 : Nos envoy?s sp?ciaux se sont tous retrouv? dans un bar pr?s de Bercy.
Members of the forum met in a bar in near Bercy.

19h00 : Les premi?res parties commencent.
Opening act just started.

21h00 : Le premier groupe a finis. Nos envoy?s sp?ciaux on aper?u Robin Finck !
First opening act is done. Robin Finck has been seen backstage.

What time are each band meant to go on stage?

Avenged Sevenfold: 7:30PM
After that, who knows...?

Ok, so A7X are first on?

Normally, i would be sooo excited and iam, but i am shit scared to leave gabriel for the 1st time.

Still, i am glad i am going. Anyone else sitting in the gold area ( i know will is) ?

i'll be all over the place :)

if i knew how to send emails with my phone i would send live pictures but i suck at phones ;)

Yes. Then Bullet, and GN'R.

What finishing time do we expect for the first parts ?

How long do you think a time gap between their end and GNR's first song ?

Could be around 2 hours if recent track form is taken into consideration.

I am going to ask the lovely sitter to come for 7 or 7.30 then, by the time i leave with the car, should be in bercy for around 9/9.30.

It really depends, no one can predict. A likely schedule would be:

7:30PM: Avenged Sevenfold
8:30PM: Bullet For My Valentine
9:30PM: Guns N' Roses

Because GN'R is starting on time these days. But they could go on stage at 11PM for all we know...Also there could be some delays and stuff with the stage setup (3 bands...)
The opening acts should be done by 9-9:15PM I think, but this is just a guess.

Axl's been good at festivals and whatnot but isn't this Guns own show?


I'd say be there on time to be safe Jessica  : ok:

They came on stage earlier than planned in Prague, which was a GN'R stand alone date as well.

bah! i had tickets and backstage passes and i can't make it to paris in time!
fuck!

They did? Where was that at Hammersmith?  :hihi:

fly your private jet ;)

ok  :-*

Lol already 16 replies !!

I'll edit my first post of this topic so it'll be easier to check how's going the show !

I expect a long post gig review by NESQUICK explaining how he hated the solo's, BBF & Robin will never be a replacement for Slash, Richard is god yadayadayada.

Advice for Nesquick...drink lots of beer and wine and just enjoy it! 

thank god the concert wasn't on shabbat  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

( teasin quick)

and yes, i could bet my knickers on nesquick's review :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

9:30 pm would be great 8)
I have the feeling it will be a great fucking show! :D
I'm exited! I feel great today? :P

hope it will be 9:30 pm too, for the metro.
i don't even understand the night bus system.

if someone has a car and envisages to leave after
the gig while passing by the 15th district...let me know  ;D

The band just soundchecked Out Ta Get Me and Think About You.


Edit: Nightrain being soundchecked now.



/jarmo

cool. do u know if a lot of people are already there ?

About 1.000...

ok thk u ;)

how many hours til expected showtime?

4-5 hours ?

much appreciated : ok:

Doors have opened about 30 minutes ago....

what a prick i am i read that too quickly and thought the The Doors were opening band that would of been cool to see though sorry

You lucky bastards ?:rant:

Just kiddin', enjoy the show ppl ?: ok:

Damn my internet connexion at home was fucked up, it's back now !!!

I'll keep you up to date as fast as I can !!

Ok, we got the firsts sms. Opening art just started. Everything will be posted here in French and English : http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/actualites-news-guns-n-roses/mises-a-jour-en-direct-du-concert-de-bercy-live-updates-from-paris-show-478.htm

Started 10 minutes late...

17h00 : Nos envoy?s sp?ciaux se sont tous retrouv? dans un bar pr?s de Bercy.
Members of the forum met in a bar in near Bercy.

19h00 : Les premi?res parties commencent.
Opening act just started.

21h00 : Le premier groupe a finis. Nos envoy?s sp?ciaux on aper?u Robin Finck !
First opening act is done. Robin Finck has been seen backstage.

So GN'R was planned for 9.30 and it's now 9.45, are they playing yet??

Second Opening act has finished.

GNR wasn't planned for 9.30. It was only our speculations. There was no time scheduled... GNR should soon start playing : The second opening act has finished playing. Guns N'Roses should go on stage in less than an hour.

Ok, cool thanks,

Read it to fast

Lucs, thanx for any updates in advance!

I wish I could help with translation or anything, but I'm on a very slow connection right now.  :-\

Thanks. But as it's just small text message I guess translation will be ok ! :)

Nemo (member of the forum), who's in front of the stage, tells us that there are video cameras filming the show.

 :hihi: I had to do a double-take for that :hihi: :peace:

Shit, I thought he WAS talking about you  :hihi:

LooooooL!! Nemo is a member of GNRFrance forum ;D lol !!

Got a new sms, still waiting for GNR to come on stage...

Robin Finck and Chris Pittman  were seen backstage. It should start soon !

that's good, cuz if it was me you guys woulda been waiting a long time for me to get to France to do updates :rofl:

Update from AdZ. The show has started.


Welcome To The Jungle





/jarmo

Great ! Can anybody guess the 2 next songs? ;D

ise brownstone

yaay  :)

Cheers to all the fans at tonight's show in Paris! :beer: :beer: :beer:

hopefully someone gets good audio or video



When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn?t lifting himself up, he?s pushing the Earth down.

I hope they play a different illusion song.    "yesterdays" would be cool

since were hoping for songs i hope for a new one!

not going to happen

Welcome To The Jungle, It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Robin Solo, Sweet Child O' Mine,





/jarmo

Just a request please....we know they're probably not going to play any new stuff, so if you hope they do, maybe you can keep that to yourself or in a setlist thread.........let's try to keep this with the updates so there's not 50 pages of people wishing they'd play a different song or hoping a bootleg will surface.    :peace:

Robin's first solo... Probably SCOM next.





/jarmo

we have GNR , we should all be happy

hope theres video of this show


In 1968, Chuck fought and won the World Professional MiddleWeight Karate championships by defeating the World's Top Fighters. He held that title until 1974 when he retired undefeated

I really suggest you stop posting this crap in the GN'R section.

It's not your signature, so it's considered off topic.



/jarmo

thank god it is not needed here is is not a chuch norris for so i needs to go

Let's make a bet, we'll try to post less than 10 pages before the end of the show :P

I still haven't got any message from members of my board :( I guess they're really enjoying the show !!

In June 2006 Jarmo Luukkonen verbally bitchslapped "Mrgnrdvd" so hard that his offspring 200 years from now will still feel the sting.

what kind of a jam?

Thanks for the updates!!! I greatly appreciate it!!!  :peace:

I'm guessing it's the same one they've been playing lately. When it started, it reminded me of Atom Heart Mother-era Pink Floyd.

/jarmo

Lucs or Jarmo, would it be possible to call someone who's going right after the show to get a quick review???

Well, I can try to call somebody. I'm starting to fall asleep lol... still waiting to get at least one sms :P I'm guess somebody will call me after the show though.

Jam = "Moving the piano jam" ;D

what is he singing?

ok :)

The Blues, obviously

Well Jarmo is givin' us the update for now... I'm just gathering them on GNRFrance website :P

/jarmo

guess the metro is closed now though  :hihi:

Another show in the books.  This tour is just rolling along.  Hopefully it continues this way.

Im sure everyone had a great time:beer:.

Looks like a pretty good setlist. Much of the same as the other shows. I hope everyone had a good time there tonight.

I really hope Izzy will add some more GN'R dates and not just disappear on us. :) :yes:

I agree! It sure is a great time to be a Guns N Roses fan!!!

Would be better if we got a release date.

P.S. Chinese Domocracy is by far the best of the new songs. Glad its back in the set.

i had to quit the show after november rain, to take the metro...shit...well.

the show was SO GREAT, people was so excited and the crowd was hot as hell.

vincennes 92 ? i was there too.
i wasn't excited like this, i can tell you.

this band just KICKS ASS.

Cool, great to see you enjoyed yourself :)
Did a lot of people leave for the metro??

Cool, a later Better.

i think yes, too bad...

wow thanks for the updates jarmo and Lucs, GNR is actually rocking my god!

Axl should learn to tell time... if i had paid for this show and he showed up late and i missed half of it i would be upset. ?

you can say that again! :beer:

edit: i still can't believe izzy is actually playing with guns n' roses again!! after all these years, fucking surreal!!!! :o historic times for sure! :beer: :drool:

on time?

the thing is, i'm not, because it was *really* amazing.
but missing izzy is not cool, sure...

what can we do ?
Axl said there was a lot of (technical i suppose) problems before the show.

so i suppose it's not his fault.
i'm sure i'll see them again in Paris soon with a lot of new titles ;)

 :rofl:

You have a great attitute, glad you had a good time :beer:

mmm.. more tech problems? getting farcical ? ::)

Just kinda thinkin...since this is the last scheduled izzy appearence...does everyone think "used to love her" goes back in the dust bin?

i have been curious about that as well... i could hardly believe it when i read that they had played it in NY at the acoustic gig! :o and izzy wasn't there then. anyway, either way is fine with me, i am just thrilled to finally see them! :beer:

I just came back from the show. Good show, but mixed feeling. Axl awesome, Fortus phenomenal (this guy is the next Slash), Robin great (he impressed me more onstage than on bootlegs :)), Brain was great, dizzy was ok, Bumblefoot did a good job on "don't cry" and "November Rain" but was useless during the rest of the show.

The begining and the end were fucking GREAT.
The middle of the show was desapointing, people were leaving because of the looooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnng solos and pauses and jam!
The arena was alsmost packed, probably 15.000 people. It was not full but almost full. bercy is a pretty big place. Even bigger than MSG in New-York city.

New songs awesome, Chinese Democracy was brillant. Paradise City was terrific, wow, amazing!
The pyro was great.

But once again, the loonnnnnnnnnnng solos were really boring and way too long. people were leaving before the end of the show.
1H late... 

You missed Buckethead didnt you?   :hihi:

Oh yeah because no band EVER has technical problems.  ::)

I am back from it as well.

I must admit that i got there at 9 pm and some guy in the arena parking said " no rush, axl is not there yet".

I am extremely sorry for the first parts, should they aread this, i didn't mean to miss their bit, but i had a baby to care for and couldn't leave before.

So, the show was great. The audience rocked to all the old tunes, but were quite cold to the new ones.
Poor bumblebee, he got booed ??!!
People can be silly sods, but i think they would have booed slash too, seeing the state some were in.
I had two " pros" in front of me and when they heard better, i heard them say it was agood song, they were reaaally into it, so that alone is very encouraging.

I love the band's chemistry.

It was so funny, after " i used to love her", axl mentionned our guillotine ( probably in link to how the " her" was killed and buried in the backyard lol !!!)

Dizzy Reed did impress me on piano, i was glad to hear that, i just closed my eyes and drifted..Very good moment.

Fans and non fans piss me off, because i did like hearing each musician's solo, but some of the crowd booed them for it. Idiiots!

Axl's voice was absolutely amazing. I can't say more, it was just perfecto.
He has so much energy !!! He is much much better than when i saw them at pukkelpop.

A special mention for Robin, who gets so carried away with his thing. It's true, it's as if he was having sex with his guitar. He has a very special charisma. Very attractive to look at, and a beautiful man ( nice bum too, white leggings show everything lol !!! )

I hadn't realised richard played so fast, his hands are plugged into electricity, it was unreal !!!!

Tommy is a bit of the shy guy on stage i thought ?

Bumble ran a lot and seemed to be having a good time ( which he would anyway, wouldn't he ?)

Izzy's moment was as good as expected and he is even shyer than tommy, he didn't come up front but was ( i think) enjoying the audience.

God knows what happened before the show, axl seemed gutted but genuinely thanked the audience for making worthwile for him after such a shitty early evening.

Sorry if my review isn't very interesting, my mind was on my baby who was sobbing all night with the sitter and i kept calling home a lot. I am unwinding now i have seen he is okay.

Good review Jessica thanks! Sounds like it was a great show, wonder what happened before hand.

thanks lucs, jarmo, ADZ, nesquick and jessica!!!! : ok:

Any pictures yet?  :drool:

Just got back from the show. Show started at 10:41PM (GN'R's show was planned to start at 10PM). Ended at 1:10AM. Izzy came on stage for the last few songs. I'll post a few pics in a few minutes. Sorry I don't have time to post a long review, it's 3:30AM here and I'm exhausted but I'll post again in a few minutes with the pics.

Thanks Will, can't wait to see the pics!

ps :

I REALLY like better and it's rythm  : ok: :-*

"Plein ?cran" means "Full screen", when you click on the thumbnails. Sorry the pics aren't really great. I tried to focus on the show this time and enjoy the concert, instead of taking pics. But don't worry we'll have LOADS of pictures (and hopefully audio/ video boots) on the site very soon. Stay tuned.

I'll post a few tidbits from the show in a few minutes.

Cool pics man thanks!

Update: complete audio is on its way!!

Clip from the recording: http://rapidshare.de/files/23644838/guns_test3.wav.html

Thanks to slash2baz.

by tomorow ( hopefully), i will have my photos and some videos ( poor quality i think for the vids but still)

don't hastle me, gabriel comes first ( my baby)

i'll do it when i find TIME.

Opening acts sucked (let's say I don't like this kind of stuff).

The place was packed. They divided the pit in two different areas, which is the first time I saw that in Bercy. We met Chris Pittman during the opening acts and chatted with him for a few minutes, it was really cool. Really nice guy.

GN'R went on stage around 10:40PM, and was very well received by the crowd. Axl was really into it, the rest of the band as well. I think the solos kinda killed the momentum though, which was too bad. They were not really received, except the first one Robin did. The others were too long I think (I loved Dizzy solo piano though). The new songs were very, very well played. Awesome. I was literally in "shock and awe" (lol), I really loved the new songs. The old songs are cool but you know, we all know Appetite by heart and have heard it 10,000 times.
We were the only two in our area to sing along to the new songs and to get really into it. Madagascar was excellent, but I think my faves were Better and Chinese Democracy. IRS was really cool too. The Blues is definitely the new Don't Cry I think.

Axl caught a French flag on stage and tied it around his neck (like he did in Dublin). Axl and Tommy kinda made fun of the stage structure which made noise in the very middle of the stage. Axl called one of the jams during the show: "Somebody fucked my wife tonight" and then laughed.
He also asked us if we thought they wouldn't come. He thanked the crowd for being there and was surprised we were so loud.
Izzy came onstage for Used To Love Her, Patience and Paradise City.

I loved this show, maybe a little bit more than Dublin because of the awesome setlist and Izzy guest appearance. And also because it was GN'R's first show in my country in 13 years. We all had an amazing time.

I'll edit my post if I think of more stuff about the show.

awesome wiLL!!.

hey Will i went to the after party :)

it was amazing ! it was like only 15 people in the room ;) the band ROCKS !

more on cd.com later

i'm off to bed ;)

they should trim the solos down, it seems to be a buzz kill

Yeah I agree....seems to be the only complaints from the majority of people.  Maybe the could just do one improv jam and a solo before Paradise City or something and that'd be great.

The show was absolutely awesome. Extremely guitar driven. Lots of instrumentals and solos for sure, and it was probably too much and too long for some people (not for me, because I really enjoyed that part of the show) but all the songs were very well played. The new songs sounded so good: IRS, Better and the enhanced version of Chinese Democracy were damn powerful. Axl sounds better than ever: that's a fact!

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to write a full review (who cares anyway?) but I have to say this: I have also attended the Hammersmith show in London, and after having seen this line up twice, I have the feeling that this version of GN'R is my all-time favorite. And it's getting better and better with time...

lol he did the exact same thing in RiR... and all of sudden all the crown had their hands up! lol so cool :hihi:

thanks for pics. great audience :peace: :beer:

Those people on the extreme right of the first pic aint got much of a view  :-\

Cool. Thanks for posting the pictures Nesquick. They look good.

Glad to hear everyone that went had a a pretty good time. Thank you for your reviews. :)

My site is down for now because of too many connections. lol I'm working things out with my host.
Use this URL for now: http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/guns-n-roses-gnr-france/infos.htm

The more I think about the show, the more I feel that this was probably one of the best concerts I have ever seen (and I will ever see) in my entire life!

GN'R really won the audience.

Just a couple of days ago, I had sceptics coming to tell me that the reviews for the Download show were not that good. Even the guy whom I organize a GN'R party with asked me again if I was really sure etc... But when I saw him after the concert (he was giving flyers for the party), he told me he shouldn't have doubt a second because he was totally blown away by the performance.

Anyway, Will, you're still invited to the party (this friday) if you want to come. And people from the board will be welcome to celebrate the best band on earth!

haha I loved that bit :love:


great reviews everyone! thx for sharing!

I can't wait for some pics!

It's sincere  :love:

If anyone is interested, I'm having bigger problems with my host than planned. The site is really down for the moment because of too many simultaneous connections.

We are trying our best to get the site back online. We'll keep you updated. It might be the end of a 7 year old adventure. Who knows...

well hope all will be well... busy sites sometimes can take some money from the pocket... keep up  : ok:

Dude, this was really bad news in the middle of one of the greatest nights of my life. Please get that site back online...  :-\

Believe me, I won't let it die. Not after all the work I put into it.

A visitor sent me some cool pics from the show, I'll upload them in a few minutes.

http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/groupe/galerie.php?path=/concerts/2006/05_07_europe/0620_paris

I hope you can still access this page.

its pretty much unfathomable to me as to why Axl has persisted with these solos.

Of all the lessons he shouldve learned from UYI era, this one should be right up the front (along with turning up on time  :P)

Well, Will. Sorry to hear about that. Isn't it possible just to choose another host and to move your site there? Is there anything we can do to help you in the meantime?

Ok, i'll have some time tonight so i will upload the photos, BUt i need help with the videos.
They were taken with a digital camera and are huge in size.
What can i do ?
Where can i upload them for free etc etc ?

I know for few sites. I think up to certain upload size is free...

Cheers hun, every time i have a technical question, you're there to answer it  :-* :-* :-* :-*

am I  ??? ... :-*

Yep

all cool then ;) ... I think YouSendIt is up to 1GB for free and RapidShare up to 100MB per file... probably You can run it through a compressor of somekind (if not compressed by your camera already), but I am no expert here... Quicktime

nah, the camera doesn't compress.

A lot of pics from the show (more coming): http://www.gnrfrance.net/gnr/groupe/galerie.php?path=/concerts/2006/05_07_europe/0620_paris

Jess we already have a thread about Paris bootlegs (audio and video): http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=32214.0 ;)

will, can you help me with my videos please ?

How big are they? I could upload them for you but you'd need to burn them and send them on a CD/ DVD or something. If you want to do it yourself, I need to know the size of the files.

Some new nice ones:

We might never hear TWAT again.

Not before the album is released, I think. Del said it was too much of a complex song, people who don't know it can't really get into it during the shows.

That group photo is really cool. Robin really is a tall guy.

Nice angle.  looks professionals shot.
Thanks for the links. I didn't know that thread was there.
Just heard IRS which seized me with AWE! :o

ok, here are our photos and videos of PARIS BERCY, the 1st 3 files are zips with photos, big photos. The others are short videos of the concert in the.AVI format. I hope you enjoy them. All these were taken with a camera, so the sound isn't pro. Sorry for being late, i didn't find time before.
