Would be awesome if they substituted KOHD or LALD for an AC/DC song today. Just a suggestion sure the Aussies would love it

touch too much would be awesome : ok:

Yeah good call man we would! I gotta tell ya I wouldn't miss KOHD being dropped from the set list. It's a yawn-fest.

gunnerdownunder just messaged me from the Melbourne gig (he's front row centre!) and said that TWAT is listed on the setlist as an option.

Dunno if it'll get played though.

It was on it all last year too, probably wont get played again until the album is released

They should do Whole Lotta Rosie, again.  Or Sin City.

I hope TWAT does get played, it's the best new song! 

Just a small reminder? ;D Look for all the updates in my first post? : ok:

Tynia & Tonya, i love your updates, thanks a lot  ;) . We appreciate in France to follow concerts at work  ;D

Axl's voice would suit 'Shook me all night long' That would be perfect.......

Have fun gunners, thanks for updates

Is it just me or the latest shows have started on time?

: : Vicente : :

They have started on time... You dont want to piss off an aussie!

yeah, it's scary the way things are going now.  on time, axl shows up in a good mood, etc...maybe CD news is next?

Keep that Polish flag waving Tynia!!!  : ok:

Sure I will Stolat? ;D GypsySoul linked me with those?cool smilies? :beer:
BTW Greetz from Warsaw to you half Polish half Aussie!? :)

Thanks for doing updates!  It's cool to be at work in NYC and keeping track of the show!!! :beer:

Cheers again Tynia and tonya! :beer:

roll on 23rd

 :hihi:  Hey axl75, have an amazing trip.  Get ready to ROCK! --from your bud axlnyc.

Geez- this section looks pretty 'jam' heavy? :o
jam, solo, song, jam, solo, song, jam, song, jam, song...

Good to hear the screens are working. Set list seems the same as Adelaide which is a good thing.

I think that's normal.

When they roll the piano out, the band usually plays something. Same thing when they roll the piano away.

Often the jam sequences into a guitar solo.

Sweet, I hope someones taping this.  I love when bumblefoot plays odd things, I want to hear Back in Black!  Thanks for the updates, providing entertainement on an otherwise miserable, rainy day in England, currently about as far from guns as its possible to bel. 

Me too Love guns n roses Jam. Yum. :yes:

is there any aussies on here or are they all at the concert  :P

It rocks soooooooooooooooooooo hard to get updates at work. This is heaven! Thanks for taking your time with the updates! You guys are tits! Glad to hear also that GNR are putting on awesome shows in Austrailia. ?:peace:

Nightrain just ended.

Amazing crowd.  8)




/jarmo

Yep from Tassie here Axl75, flying to melbourne in the morning!

very cool, just woke up, nice to see updates!.

Sorry I don't know how to post a reply to someone's statement but Jarmo, are you there? How do you know what the crowd is like?

No I'm not.

I received a little update from the gig.




/jarmo

Seems like another great show

Thanks for the updates  : ok:

Another great setlist. I applaud the band for playing 5 new songs in the setlist along with the classics! :beer:

twatty add me to you contacts on msn  sorry for the off topic friends we all are true gnr fans after all  :-*

Thanks for the updates.




/jarmo

Thanks for the updates. Great setlist, 19 full songs (5 new)  :love:

I hope all you aussie fans and everyone else in attendance have a great time.   : ok:

gunnerdownunder just messaged me and said that Axl did the whole "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi! Oi! Oi!" chant after Paradise City. Very cool. Axl sounds like he's in great spirits on this tour. : ok:

Thanks for all updates Tynia  ;)

Yeah fair enough. I'm not against the jams by any means, I love them, but just seeing it written like "jam, song, jam, song" is pretty full on!

Sweet set list- hopeully they'll stick with it for the rest of the shows here. Would be cool if the added/changed something for the people going to both shows though. I feel sorry for the Perth people who didn't get Maddy or CD, but I heard there was a curfue (that was extended for GnR) over there.
Bring on the Sydney shows  :peace:

Thanks for the updates.

Thanks for the reviews!! Sounds like another awesome show ?: ok:

sounds like it was great show!  :beer:

the best part was when the crowd shut up so I could hear the new songs...Better and The Blues were sick. And I didn't think I'd get Madagascar but then boom, they played it.

I don't even listen to guns anymore, and wasn't really looking that forward to tonight..but fuck, once they came on... :drool:

You're all welcome. It was nice experience for me: writing updates, eating lunch in breaks, checking other updates from F1 Indy Practice 1? :hihi:

 :beer:

HBK *

     Hey.. Was an AWESOME show last night....My First live guns show..  :peace:    ears r still ringing..LOL
Rose tatoo were good..crowd was really into them which is normal but at one point Angry was having probs with his mike but handled it well..

     Baz was CRAZY ...Played a long time too....at one stage he started a song but then  Told the band to STOP because they wernt loud enought... : ok:   Near the end of his set he said he was told to get off the stage because it was 11 but he said no he HAS to play I remember you..which the crowd LOVED and All sang..... all sang to 18 and life too.. : ok:
But he played another song after I remember......They did have trouble with an Acoustic guitar not working for a new song so Baz Said stuff it and they played Monkey Buiseness.. :beer:
 
     Guns were Awesome.....Axl was on fine and in a real GREAT mood... : ok: Great set list..I thought The solos were Perfect. They just went long enough, After the Richard and Robin Solo Axl says.."enough of the gayness" and was laughing..LOL  And once Axl allmost his Ron with his hand and then both smiled waqs a nice monent..Pyro was Amazing..... : ok:   Ron playing Back in Black in the start of his solo was cool too... Everyone was standing and VERRY Happy.. Most new songs went off well....Better and IRS sounded the best..Maddy sounded a bit off with all the speeches and stuff...but im so happy we got the full set list.. CD had the intro and sounded REAL heavy...
Anyway Awesome show......Fan Tastic.. : ok:

Great opdates. Thanks  :)
Keep Rocking : ok:

Just got home, What a fucking awesome experience. Thats about all i have to say for now, ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Heading back for Round 2 tonight. Last night was just pure rock 2meters from the stage. Tonight with wife in tow I will enjoy from afar.

Thank You GNR for ending my 14 year wait last night, It was worth every bit and some.

Youtube videos i found:
November Rain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhtTOMdnWog&mode=related&search=

Welcome to the Jungle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYU2-pHZuUs
Paradise City: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ69SoYNosw

I saw them three times last year, and I think that the Melbourne has been the best to date.
Got Sydney next weekend so we'll see...

Baz went off. So fucking cool. The crowd was awesome, and he literally had to be kicked off the stage.
Guns were awesome. All in a really good mood. I don't think it was the best vocal performance I have seen by Axl, but the energy of the crowd was so great and it was reflected in the band.
Better was a bit sloppy. Madagascar live blew me away. Heaps of people were singing along, while most people just stood still during the other 'new' songs.
Someone threw a pink beanie on stage with ear flaps etc and Axl put it on a danced around in it. So cute. God that man is awesome.
Such a great night. I'll be sad when the Sydney show is over as that will be the end of my GnR stint for a long while I think...

hey people, wanted to post this for a collective laugh, under the assumption that everyone here knows its hilariously untrue and completely pulled out of some critic's ass (from a review of this show): "After the band split in 1996, he became a Phil Spector-esque recluse, retreating to his Malibu mansion, filled with snakes, religious paraphernalia and weaponry, working away on the band's much-anticipated new album Chinese Democracy."  feel free to delete mods, just thought it was funny.

Amazing show.
Axl was in sensational form, Finck soared and Bumblefoot :drool: is absolutely amazing, got to see several of his solo's up close including when he used his Vigier fretless? :drool: :drool: He also gave us the thumbs up when we were singing along to his Don't Cry solo.

Highlights of the night:
Finck teasing the crowd at the start of Jungle.
Axl hittng the stage "Do you know where the fuck you are"
Better sounded great I like it even more now.
Chinese Democracy was incredible, so powerfull and it rocked big time, song of the night for me. Probably my fav of the new songs now, the performance of it was that good.
The Blues and Madagascar were fantastic, although was difficult to make out speeches during Maddy.
Rockin out to the old classics.

Disappointments:
I thought I.R.S. was a bit weak tonight, was better on saturday.
From where I was did not see much of Tommy, didn't seem to move around alot.
Sound was a bit off where I was, about 4 from the front right side of the stage bass levels were way high.

Lots asking about the new songs when I started singing along to them, when Better came on one dude asked which album this song is off, I said the one coming out later this year. When ChiDem came on one dude yells out "Madagascar" I go "no Chinese Democracy" he then goes "what a song" may not have heard of it before.

A fantastic show with a great blend of the old and the new.

I thought IRS was better than Better. That middle part in Better was all messy and didn't sound right but IRS rocked. Though Axl didn't quite make the scream at the end. I think it was the best performance of the Blues that I have seen, and Chinese Democracy is growing on me.

Are there any pics from the show?

Hey all!

Finally getting on to post my comments from my first ever GNR show! It was fucking amazing!!! They played till like 115 am I think and got on stage right on time. Baz was pissed about having to leave early cos they wanted to set up early for GNR. Axl was everything on stage that I expected. Just amazing.

- I lined up at 3pm.. haha.. got front row about 4 people to the right of the centre
- Baz said "I hear Axl is in the building, and if you saw the partying we did in Adelaide, I'm surprised he is here" haha
- Bach's opening set was good although I could not hear his vocals at all.. the crowd loved him though
- Axl's vocals were very difficult to hear where I was. It sounded like his voice was really strong and when he wanted to use the rasp he could.
- The last 'knockin on heavens door' he screamed when he got the crowd to sing was AMAZING! It sounded insane!
- The crowd didnt know any of the leaks from where I was except Madagascar which they all prob knew from VMAs. It was good in a way because I could clearly hear Axl. His vocals were a lot easier to be heard on The Blues. He sang The Blues just brilliantly.. it was maybe the best version I've heard to date.
- Think they kinda fucked up the middle of Better just before the weird middle electronic bit
- Frank's drumming on some of IRS sounded a lot different but I quite liked it. The vocals were average on this one.
- BEST version of My Michelle with Baz. They sung diff. lines, not over the top of each other. And Axl seemed to give it a little extra during this song. Baz vocals were much easier to be heard than Axl's. Axl gave Baz shit about this new pair of brown shoes he came out with and said for someone to step on them
- During November Rain, Finck came out wearing a weird looking shirt and Axl made Finck laugh during the song cos he gave him shit it about it too "nice shirt" mid song.. they were in good spirits. Robin looked like he was having a blast.. Tommy was fairly quiet.


Finally, to those complaining about the setlist, shut the fuck up! Most people there didn't even know what song would be next or follow the forums like us. When I said 'Live and Let Die next' and they played it, people were like "how did you know that" .. so for the majority of people there it was a total surprise and they loved every minute of it. To see it live is just amazing and even know I knew the set, it's just so different and you appreciate and enjoy each song like it's the first time you have heard it when Axl is singing it like a metre away from you!

Brisbane next!

Oh and Axl wore some of the coolest stuff EVER!

What did he wear?

Oh and at the end Axl did 'Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi' chant.. haha

I remember Axl and Robin had a hug after one song..

And Baz and Axl finished My Michelle hand in hand, in the air.
