Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Updates tonight courtesy of anythinggoes

Probably not after each song.



/jarmo

I was wondering if we were gonna get updates from this show ;D

Thanks Jarmo and anythinggoes!

Bumblefoot was just on stage throwing bottles of water to the crowd....

The first opening act hasn't started yet.



/jarmo

Ah Bumblefoot always lookin out for the fans.

Bumblefoot is fucking awesome.  He'll get many fans who weren't GNR fans on board for this current run, which will improve CD sales.

Opening act has finished.




/jarmo

alright. here we go. hopefully another kick ass performance.

have fun any one thats reading this from their mobile ;D

I'm sure that this tour is gonna keep going smoothly (for the most part). Hopefully they get some good stuff tonight on the other side of the world (from me at least!).

Does anyone know when Brain comes back to the tour?

I agree

Cheers Jarmo and anythinggoes.

It's very considerate of him to give waterbottles to the audience in a hot venue.

GN'R are on stage now.




/jarmo

Thanks Jarmo for the updates

Thanks for the updates.  I tell you, if the rest of the world communicated and worked together like all of us on this board, there wouldnt be any problems.

Looking forward to the updates! Thanks Anything Goes! All the way from Northampton, England to Terravibe Greece all in the name of Guns N Roses! Good Lad!! Mike

/jarmo

lol They seem to be having more fun each and every show.  This is great  : ok:

 ;D

Wooooh, this seems like funny show, it's very great to see the band having fun on stage  :peace:

Thanks for the great work with the updates guys..Cool to see Axl and the band having fun up on stage jamming and shit

I hope some kind of footage surfaces of that solo, if nothing else from this show.. ;D

He probably just sang a line or two of the lyrics from Relight My Fire like he did with I Feel Good at Rio, so I wouldn't call it anythink major.

Cool little joke though that he whistled the Pink Panther theme.

I think this is Christos's sign  ;)

Only 1 new song so far?

At one point the crowd is chanting for Civil War. Axl jokes about it, like he's misunderstanding what they're chanting for.

The crowd sings along to Don't Cry. The whole song!

Izzy is there.



/jarmo

Damn you Axl  :'(  :peace:

Again!? :rofl:  I definitely want to hear that.

The band's never rehearsed it anyways.

i think it's pretty fucking funny....he's prolly like....man you people are stupid bastards aren'tcha, we're not gonna play that stuff...

he should say something like "so you guys wants some UYI tunes?" then he'll get like a massive cheer "oh well go buy the cds then" :hihi:

oh my god, I'm crying

I would be crying if they'd play Civil War. ;D

/jarmo

IZZY!

Sounds like another great gig then! This tour seems to be getting better and better! I wander if we are any closer to getting some more UYI tunes played? What with the ongoing instrumental of Dont Cry, now a crowd chanting for Civil War! Bring it on! Mike

If I judge by any gig played since 2001...

I would say no. lol ;D

Damn the people who chanted that they didn't need a "civil war" :hihi:

Let's not damn anyone, it is just music.  I wonder if Izzy gets the itch to play on all the Appeitite songs and not just 3 of them.  It would be interesting to know if he wants to play the entire show, or if he just wants to play 3 songs.

he played 4 in oslo...

think about you, patiente, nightrain and Paradise city

plus smoke on the water at download.


And the damn lines were just jokes.

Then you might as well have Izzy as a new guitarist.

Wow what a great show the crowd was awesome the came played really well they seem to be gettin so much better i have audio recorded show but i was at the front so may not have worked will let you know soon peace see you all soon

I'd say it was more like, "why would you want a Civil War in Greece," do you know many people would die? What do you guys need to fight against?". :hihi:

just came back from the show and here are some quick notes:

during the end of kohd axl said that for the first time in several years he wanted to do the crowd response thing. so they finished the song by switching to the old version : ok:

izzy played and sang patience with axl and he also played pc+nightrain

bumblefoot played the entire don't cry and the people sang along for the whole song

the crowd was going crazy and axl said that he was very much into it.


the band playd and axl sang the first verse and chorus of light my fire.this started as a game between the drummer and the crowd-the drummer would play something and the crowd would scream guns n roses.after a while the basse and the guitar kick in for a jam which wnds as light my fire

axl was in an excellent mood and he even held a greek flag in the end

Robin came out for his solo wearing a bandana a white jacket and a skirt-just like axl


overall a+show a+Axl

i was blown away literally : ok:

+asshole song

+two great axl quotes

"maybe we will put this in another live record so bob dylan can get another check!"
after kohd

"if only you knew who the fuck i think i am.."

What was that last quote in reference to?

talking about  CHuck NORRIS

fuck chuck norris

Henry Rollins would kill Chuck Norris.

"if only you knew who the fuck i think i am.."

Could this also be a reference to the recently released Replacements comp, "Don't You Know Who I Think I Was"?

When did Axl say this at the show? At what point? Who did he say it to? the crowd? To Tommy?



Many big thanks again to Jarmo, anythinggoes, and all who have had been sending updates. I check everyday for every show. Thank you!!!

Sounds like a cool show! We just need some audio/video :drool:

ah man thaat sounded like a kick ass how, awesome!

he told this to the crowd.i found that very ineresting but i dont remember exactly what it was in reference to because i was stoned as fuck :beer:

maybe christos or somebody else remembers more : ok:

Especially needed: Audio/video from "Ligh my fire" ... jeez, GNR doing "Light my fire"?  :drool:

So to anyone at the show - What happened when the Civil War chant happened, how did Axl joke about it?

sounds like another great show! cheers for the updates Jarmo and Anythinggoes.  no IRS though??

The crowd started chantin and axl turns to frank and says "something about c.b.r" which is what the chant sounded like to me i had to ask the people next to me what was chanted. As for the who the fuck am i it was a quote from a movie i think it was just axl fuckin around     

Ok thanks, shame they didn't play it though.

And as for the "if only you knew who the fuck i think i am.." according to someone else he didn't say that.

He said this: "when Axl was introducing the band he said "i still dont know who the fuck i am"


To me that just sounds like he was joking about during the band intros.

I want to hear Light my Fire!

i have that theme on my mobile :hihi:

The gig was unbelievable. The best concert i have ever been to, complete in every way.
However, the crowd was too loud to hear Axl's voice most of the time and people didnt even know some songs like My Michelle and Nightrain. I saw a lot of different types of people who clearly were there for no reason. Some expected Slash to be onstage.
BUT
The crowd, " real" fans were unbeliavable. 2 generations of fans there dancing along to these same songs after all these years. I think there is no other rock band that unites people like this, with such feeling. No Stones, no nothing.
I am proud and glad to be defending this new lineup. I would not if i didnt like them.
My only comment is that Robin's solos are not..needed or dont make sense. He is amazing but his solos are a bit..weird.
Axl blew my mind. I have never seen a frontman leave the stage last of all. He stood there with noone else in the back, holding and trying to read the GNR greek banner, trying to unfold it, while everyone else was leaving. He tried, tried and then realised he couldnt so he placed it under his arm and took it backstage. He was the last to leave the stage twice. Dont know if this is done frequently but totally impressed me .
PLUS when he was thrown the greek flag, he didnt just wear it like other musicians would do, he tried to find which way was correct, turned it around to find the right side of the flag cross, then wore it on his back. This shows respect in everyway.
I wish more than 10 people knew the new songs but it's a start. I was the only one singing at The Blues, with people staring at me asking if it's a cover song. ?:-X
Babe, what a gig.
This new prog-rock-instrumental feeling fits the band perfect. Im one of those people who never liked the pure rebel sex drugs n rock n roll. this will turn into an amazing record.

Well, I don't think I'll experience another night like this in Greece... Unless they come back...  ;D

Axl mentioned my "GREECE LOVES GN'R" signs I've had at gigs over the years which almost made me cry, he said he appreciates it... I mean WOW...

When the crowd chanted for Civil War Axl said "I think it's something about CPR" or something like that.

Lots of jokes, I screamed "DO THE ASSHOLE SONG" and he said "We got a second request for this song" and he played it...

I was in the first row and I was singing all the new songs by heart and since the promoter kept the PIT for the VIP's ( :rant:) which was stupid if you ask me, I was the only one who knew the songs (and blueheart) so Axl noticed me and he laughed...

The band is amazing and they're getting better with every gig. I'm sure that London will be crazy.

Glad I met anythinggoes, hopefully we'll meet tonight...

I can't say anything more at the moment, I'm dead tired, LOTS of GREAT pictures soon at Gunsnroses.gr...

hey thanks for the mention cool to read sitting in kapnikareas readin on my phone cool meetin you and all your friends and your cousin. To the people that are slating guns n roses recently you really need to see these shows to see what a great band this is they are amazing together everything works everyone is happy the whole crowd goes away with a smile the only disappointing thing with any guns n roses is when lights go down and the band is finished because everyone wants more shit i could sit through a 4 hour show and not be one bit bored looking forward to the next 4 shows hopefully they will be as good if not better than last night       

GNR were on stage for 2 hours and 15 minutes. They played the usual songs welcome to the jungle, it s so easy, mr brownstone, live and let die, robin guitar intro for sweet child o mine, sweet child o mine, knockin on heavens door,
Dizzy Piano Solo, The Blues, You Could Be Mine, Axl singing Light My Fire (almost the whole song - not so short as I feel good from RIR), Richard Guitar Solo, Richard And Robin Guitar Duet (You are beautiful), Out Ta Get Me, The Asshole Song on piano, Pink Panther Theme on piano, November Rain, Better, Bumblefoot Guitar Solo (Don't Cry), Madagascar, My Michelle, Patience (with Izzy Stradlin), Nightrain (with Izzy Stradlin), Robin Guitar Solo, Paradise City (with Izzy Stradlin)

highlights:
1. Axl mentioned that in every place they go to play they always see a sign Greece Loves GNR (Christos AG sign strikes back)
2. Christos AG screaming do the Asshole song - Axl replies it's the second time this week that someone asks me to do that song and then he plays The Asshole Song on piano
3. ?Axl mentions how great night it is and that the full moon was amazing so the whole crowd looks up to the sky at this moment and watching the Full Moon
4. The crowd is chanting for Civil War. Axl jokes about it, like he's misunderstanding what they're chanting for and says that we have to do something about CPR
5. At the end of Paradise City someone throws the Greek Flag on the stage and Axl wears it and walks through the stage

http://www.gunsnroses.us/news/article.php3?id_article=91

god it looks as it was an amazing show! How cool! Great u all enjoyed it. Btw why did the crowd start singing Civil War? Was it spontaneous, it was like someone started singing and then all the crowd did the same thing? lol it?s kinda weird but awesome too. God It would be so great for them to play Civil War, one of my fave songs... bah.

well... if you go back to 93, the group had big argument while they were in Greece for a concert and Dizzy said something like "When we wrote civil war we didn't have Athens in mind...

that statement had been enough to make this track the best/most popular GNR single for the greek music market back then 

amazing , so cool to read these stories frm the shows, fuckng A!

Sounds like one of the best shows of the tour so far - I'll never forget 5/15 at the Hammerstein - almost everyone was singing the new songs - truly an amazing sight to behold!

I have never heard the asshole song!!  Where can I hear this?

I have never heard the asshole song!!  Where can I hear this?
I know its on the bootleg of Albany New York from the 2002 tour. I'm sure there are others out there as well.

great  : ok:

Thanx for the link, I was looking for your review!? ;)

I was standing front row (behind the VIP area) close to anythingoes for about 3,5 hours, until WTTJ intro, when I literally got smashed by the crowd behind me. So I asked the security guy to pull me over pretending to have a breathing problem. I sneaked into the VIP area and joined blueheart and Christos.
(@ Christos: Hey, I was singing along to the new songs, too!? :P)

Actually the "VIPs" were mostly fully unaware of the new songs, so they were looking at us kinda funny when we were singing along and jumping (especially during Better).? Most of them should just stay home and do some homework, instead of having a friend finding them a VIP pass, they didn't deserve to be there. Whatever...

One thing that made me (and Axl) laugh was when Richard played a riff from "Jingle Bells"? ;D

Anythingoes, it was great meeting you!
I really admire you for surviving where you were standing (the crowd was crazy!) AND sending updates! Good Job!? :D

They also did that in Belgium, maybe Axl suffers a little bit from amnesia?   ;D

Hey christos dimitra vicky and elina finally made it home after my nightmare last 2 days which did spoil everything for me. Ive listened to most of bootleg and the bumblefoot solo sounds great with all the greeks singing out of tune as soon as i get a chance ill post it here its cool. Hopefully the rest might be able to clean up but it will le hard work. 

yeah baby! axl is listening to me and christosAG! thats great!

Hey Stephen, I am glad you make it back home and that everything worked good for you when you went to the embassy.
It was nice to meet you here... See you in London soon  ;)
