do you think Sorry was the next song or is Jarmo apologizing for having to lock the other thread??  ???

i think he was "sorry" for locking the thread

Haha...didn't think of that..... funny.

I'm guessing it was an apology

And I was betting they couldn't do ITW live...

i wonder how it sounded live!  :o

666 online  ;D

that's the second most ever (after may 2006 with 731) :smoking:

It's getting interesting now.. I wonder how "If The World" sounds live..

mygnr failed  :rofl:

If the world... wowowow.

I'm refreshing 3 sites at once, local time is 8:03am, I don't have to be up for another 4 hours if I don't want:

Wouldn't have it any other way!

LALD now

Live and let die now... wonder if they did the James Bond theme intro.

This is exciting  ;D

Seems like mygnr.com went down, let's see how long htgth last when they come here  :nervous:

I'm fulfilled already that they opened with CD and actually played ITW.

Now all I need is some bootlegs and pics.

wonder what the GnR Frank chant is all about?

I think Jarmo would have mentioned if there was a solo from Richard..

And yes, it seems another well frequented GNR forum is also becoming unresponsive to me..

The GNR Frank chant is probably where Frank keeps a beat going and the crowd answers with "GUNS AND ROSES GUNS AND ROSES" etc.

Kickdrum in time to the crowd chanting "Guns... N'... Ros-es!"

Guns N roses .....Guns N roses GUNs N roses as he hits the drums !

thought about that as well, it's probably frank that does that "dum, dum dum-dum beat" so the crowd starts chanting guns n roses?

Do we know how many people are watching the show? :)

well that's what happens when 200 people view the same thread. MYGNR fail. disappointing

Hell yes. I'd like to see a pic of Axl in action

It seems Mr Fortus' solo followed "Live and Let Die"..

oh yeah - so long I forgot!

I wonder How axl sounds! hopefully just like 07

wonder if he did the james bond theme

And wherever the setlist goes from here, well I'm already happy they opened with "Chinese Democracy".. and it seems "If the World" has had a live debut.. lets wait and see what else they pull out from the album

730 people online here - 1 behind the all-time record in May 06  : ok:

THEY'RE FUCKING PLAYING TWAT??!!!?!?


My goodness.

Yes... yes he did

TWAT! Nice : ok: :drool:

738 now, record broken, the future's looking bright if people are more excited now then back then ;D

Absolutely amazing so far!

hell yeah, what a day  ;D guns n' fucking roses

fucking TWAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH

TWAT, NICE!  

I would've been on here earlier but I was convinced they wouldn't go onstage till at least 9.  Oh well!  What time did they go on?  Right at 7?

cant believe this is actually happening. TWAT... waited 3 years for a new live version. Damn it how I fucking love this band  :love:

Yeah it was James Bond Theme.. and now doing "THERE WAS A TIME"... amazing..

They got on around 8-8:45.

Well that setlist that was posted wasn't right it seems.

Go guys go. It's a great day.

Thank you to all the fans that haven't lost faith, thanks to the band, thanks Jarmo for the updates and above all thank you Axl.

I'm ready for pics!

just read the update re TWAT being played - too overexcited and misread it.  Thought Jarmo was talking about the James Bond theme of the solo and saying twat in reference to that.  yeah i know, very unlikely!  Nothing fkn wrong with Bond either - great choice Richard!

I am SO fkn happy to hear this song is being played live, I cannot wait to hear it live someday soon (hopefully).  hard to pick, but probably my fave track off CD.  Bet they fkn rocked it.  oh god I want to be there

it leaked. so axl made some final changes
and for the best! : ok:

Cool of them to mix things up. Maybe there's some surprises even  :smoking:

I think I'd have a heart attack if one of Jarmo's updates said:

Axl thanks the crowd again, introduces new song

Soul Monster


----
 :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Nothing changed, just the order. A change/surprise would be calling an audible of Dead Horse.

then don't worry :P

my generation with tommy on vocals, now that's something i want a bootleg of ;D

Tommy singing My Generation, who saw that coming!

MY GENERATION!

Holy shit! Awesome!

haha that's amazing! right song for his roots in punk!

now that's kick ass!

A bass solo, and Tommy singing a track? Holy shit, I think I just came. :rofl:

Frank Drum Solo > Tommy bass solo singing "My Generation"..

Wow.. where can it go from here..

never thought tommy would be a limp bizkit fan



just kidding of course :hihi:

NIIICE! Theres' a video of Tommy singing My Generation on a pub, on youtube, check it out so you guys have an idea what's it's happening over there!

haha! Thats awesome! Axl makes sure everyone gets in the headlight !!!

IRS


yay!!!!!!111

"IRS".. ok..

What a bad ass show thus far. Hopefully pics soon!

 :beer:

What a setlist already! In 2002/2006/2007, we'd only be dreaming of setlists like this. I hope this trend continues throughout the tours. I'm very impressed by Guns.

damn.. things go so quickly !!  :P

I know i need to get to one of these shows..

This is already one for the ages!

Me too!! Goddamn I'm jealous of the people in Taiwan right now!  :drool:

this is awesome! Tommy singing the who!
TWAT - ITW - IRS - CHINESE... thats great :)

tommy+the figgs my generation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TuFk2SpVPU

9 songs played so far, and 4 are from Democracy!

Now THAT is awesome!  : ok:

it just might become the best show ever :hihi: rq now

the best show already in 7 years.! :love:

I'm completely shocked that not only are they adding more CD songs, but they've changed the entire structure of their 2001-2007 setlists. There's been no sign on KOHD or YCBM.

This is a great day to be a fan.

AGREED!

I'm excited as hell for this setlist!

Welcome to the Chinese Democracy Tour!!!  ;D

Maybe they'll do Sorry and dedicate it to Slash ;D

"Rocket Queen" oh yeah

But let's get more "Chinese Democracy" songs in there please..

this show certainly has the feel of something really special. different set list, plenty from the new album, a Who cover!

fucking killer!!!

(btw, i only count 4 CD songs - CD, ITW, TWAT, IRS...am i missing one?)

whats the matter with mygnrforum ? They cant handle the pressure? lol  :rofl:

Rocket Queen??????

OMG! This is great!!!  : ok:

Next is ....? Think about you??? Crash_Diet???  :hihi:

Hopefully Scraped or This I Love is coming :)

Now it s Dizzy....The blues maybe???

Dizzy Reed solo now I guess..

This will probably lead into "The Blues"?..

 :hihi:

I remember saying back in 2002 how awesome it'd be to open with Chinese Democracy...... About time Axl.... Better late than never ;)

We're calling it "Street Of Dreams" nowadays sir. :rofl:

Very cool. Do you remember when I posted the thread last year about whether Axl should start with CD or WTTJ?

couldn't agree more faldor

haha too funny

Yeah, I still like that title though.. just me.. sorry..

And hope they go through the whole tour with "Chinese Democracy" opening.. this is what I always hoped for

he strarted with both ;D

The fact that they're playing ITW and TWAT alone already makes me excited. : ok:

So next some UYI songs? I think its time for KOHD or YCBM? Lets see  ;)

Yeah as expected.. "STREET OF DREAMS".. not "The Blues"..

And keep the negativity out of here. You can't kill the enthusiasm.

It sounds like a great opening to the show but a lot of solo's which i didnt want.  Kills momentum.
We all wanna see Axl  :smoking:
Seems like an awesome show though!

I wonder if DJ played all Finck's solos, or maybe BBF or Fortus played some too.

Next you could be  mine

( i m not there, just guessing)  :o : ok:


This is great, it s like we are all there....  :beer:

Yeah I'm just thinking "great setlist".... "wish I was there" lol.

It's so cool, because that was what the discussion was about! :D

its rocking hard in my head, for sure!
 :peace:

i m thinking i ll start my wedding with those two songs :)  :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

dj solo and sweet
finaly

Man a DJ solo would be awesome... I'm listening to SIXX AM at the moment, and he is killer on this...

Ok.. so Ashba's had his solo leading into "Sweet Child Of Mine", so thats out of the way..

Hopefully a Bumblefoot solo will come and "Shackler" will follow..

haha.. i am following the setlist... listening to the songs played live.. lol.. 25 year old child...  :P

Shackler's live will be very interesting!

GREAT IDEA. I may burn a cd with the songs in the order played for the car later.

Do we lost Jarmo? :hihi:

I've just put Chinese Democracy on, and sitting at my desk at work dreaming lol. :love:

Ohh. November Rain, This I Love coming soon?

November Rain now... ...in the rain  :)

Jam > November Rain

If "This I Love" was going to be played, it would probably have to go next..

No Axl rants yet?  :hihi:  Other than greeting the crowd, wonder if he's said anything.

pictures jarmo pictures! haha  :hihi:

Or I'll just end up walking in the cold December rain...


Classic!  :peace:

that would be a Axl quote?

That's my guess yeah.. Jarmo wrote it

13 songs played so far, i guess there is "couple" more coming  : ok:

They have played 1,5 hours now.

i have a feeling the encore will be just as awesome as the rest of the show!  :peace:

how strict are the no cameras rule in taipei

Is really raining while they playing NR?

guess so?

Ron is doing his solo... I hope next song is Shackler's Revenge.

Ron solo (Pink Panther)

Hopefully this leads into "Shackler's Revenge"?..

And.. I guess no "This I Love" this time?..

YCBM is currently playing!

Perhaps, a little bit of.... Arnold for them

How the hell are you working that out?

Many older songs played now, i guess Nightrain is also coming or OTGM. Im praying for 1-2 more "new" CD songs like Prostitute.

Is Pink Panther big in Taiwan or something?

Ok.. "You Could Be Mine" is good..

Adz, I'm just assuming according to a setlist that was posted earlier, and also just because I would imagine Axl would be playing piano on "This I Love" so I expected if that was the case, they'd do the two back to back.. sorry for the misunderstanding..

As Jude said, they're going back to old territory.. hope for a few more new songs..

i think Axl loves Madagascar and This i love so assume they will be played

and Better of course...i think this d be an encore....

What's that saying? Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups?

Shacklers!!!

stop being negative, shacklers no mofos  ;D

Ive got a funny feeling  :hihi:

Fuck yeah! Shacklers!

Another song never played live before! We need a video of this.

Hey man.. I wasn't demanding or expecting anything.. just considering the possibility, thats all.. no offence intended..

Shacklers Revenge! yeah!!!!  :beer:

this one i wanna hear it live!!!!

Awsome setlist so far
Shacklers  :peace:

Don't ever try to tell me how much you care for me
Don't ever try to tell me how you were there for me...

I DONT BELIEVE THERE'S A REASON - I DONT BELIVE IT!

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

BAD
ASS
SET
LIST


This is wicked. I see no end in sight! Still no Knockin, TIL, Nightrain, etc etc.

Awesome!

oh yeah! here it is people! Shacklers Revenge!! : ok:

I guess the energy is on top right now!

In all fairness isn't half of the posts on this forum people assuming?

"SHACKLERS" oh they did it.. thats great.. wonder how its sounding.. love to hear it

Like Mickey D's...

I'm lovin' it! 


 :hihi:

Yeah "Shacklers" is the one I wanna hear!!!

tthis is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

really nice

KOHD is on now

and Axl tells a story bout meeting Dylan!

"Knock Knock Knockin' on heavens door"

Greetings from Finland =) and yeah, wanna hear Shackler's live version 8)

SHACKLER! Goddamn that was great surprise, nice!

This setlist tells me the band is growing.  Very impressive on paper.  Representin' CD in a big way.

Knocking ! : ok:

"You just better start sniffin' your own
rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just you
against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't
be luck if you could get out of life alive"

Take this setlist to Sweden! ;D

16 songs in and no signs of letting up!

6 from CD already!

This is very fricken exciting.... right the $#@% on GNR :yes:

Also nice to see Axl telling some stories from his career, thats always great  : ok:

Yeah I didn't expect too much talking with the language barrier and all.  It's always nice to hear Axl say a few words.

Still pretty shocked about the amount of CD material.... really good  :peace:

well what are the usual signs of letting up :P

and yeah it's nice to see so many from CD, was expecting to get more old songs since it's the first time they're playing taiwan right?

Oh, KOHD was the last song before encore. Well that's interesting

So it appears "Knocking on Heavens Door" closed off the set..

It s time for the encores...

like original guns days hehe

that was fast... I was expecting nightrain to end the first set

?? Strange closing song....

Unless there will be encores. I bet there will be ;D

Almost 2 hours show , right??
and still going...

i think of 2 at least encores : ok:

fast? almost 2 hours and then encore on that, pretty fucking sweet :smoking:

Please, whatever you do, don't play "Out Ta Get Me."

I'm hoping for Better, Prostitute, Nightrain, and Paradise to finish it off.

16 songs played so far, thats quite a show. Hopefully interesting encore coming too.

It s time for "Better"....  :beer:

THIS I LOVVVVEE YEEEESSSS

YES! THERE IT GOES!

Freaking sweet!

hmm that seems quick but I think it's more that most of us were expecting Nighttrain

TIL SWEET

THIS I LOVE  :)

great , great, GREAT GREAAAAT setlist

I NEVER SAY GOODBYEEEE =)

THIS I LOVE!!! ORGASM!

YES mother fuckers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This I love  : ok:

Cant wait for the boots of this show.

I just got chills from THINKING about them playing "This I Love" live.... think what it's like in person!

This I Love encore opener just stamps it as a new era of GN'R.  Unreal setlist.

I'm so excited. THIS I LOVE is my all time fav song! :beer:

So.. Dizzy at the piano on This i Love =)  :)

Can't wait to see DJ rip up the solo on TIL.  Nice!

I wanna hear "Scraped".  Are they taking requests?

We've come so far from the days of Out Ta Get Me, Think About You (although I miss you), My Michelle, etc.

Here's to a new era! Here's to Chinese Democracy!

Better!  :yes:

You've got that right. I hope they'll keep going like this for the tour. I want to be there at a show with "Chinese Democracy" opening, and hearing all these new songs live.

and it is BETTER!

Nice, Axl asked for a beer.  Gotta play till you finish that beer Axl.  Hopefully he's a slow drinker.

this show kepps getting better and better  ;D

if king dick's asking for a beer, is it to A, start his afterparty, or B need something to drink cause this could take a while  :hihi:

This I Love has gotta be the most emotional song for him to play, he needed it :beer:

and ow for the best song in the whole GNR catalog!

"Better"... yes, thats what I'm talking about.. keep it going with the new songs... "Madagascar", "Sorry", "Scraped", one of these, or all of these to close out the show..

I need a beer too! : ok:

I'm really hoping a picture or 2 show up soon!

I hope it's B!  : ok:

Kickass encore so far, Axl seems to be in goood mood :)

Yeah, all this and we haven't even seen a pixellated mobile phone camera shot yet..

Wow, that was unexpected. :D

But DAMN what a set list!!

Now the waiting for videos and pictures starts  : ok:

is it so much to ask for paradise city NOT be the last song??? :peace:

Fucking Axl sounds AMAZING on that SCOM video. Holy shit, he does like a new growl at the end. Jesus.

If only they would come back out and do Prostitute,OTGM and close with Nightrain.

looks like uncle Axl still has the short braids  :hihi:

And the crowd on the youtube vid (from "down low"...around the recording it sounds dead) sounds AWESOME!

DON'T YOU EVEN DARE TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE "NO PROSTITUTE? SHIT" BECAUSE THIS SHOW WAS FUCKIN' AMAZING

Great video.. Axl sounds good.. thanks to whoever uploaded that so fast.. and shared the link with us..

Can't really make out Axl on the screen.. but good anyway

And seems the crowd is enjoying it, singing along : )

damn awsome

Jarmo hasn't posted, good night yet.  Fingers crossed.

Looks like he's wearing a red jacket with blue jeans and possibly a hat? I can't really make it out.


But anyways, nobody should be bitching about this show/setlist. This is the best thing to happen to us fans, since the album came out. This is one of those days we will remember.

wow... pretty exciting set list.  how was TIS live?   sounded like a great show

No Patience?

Cant wait to hear 'This I love' live though..

Fingers crossed.. would be Awesome to not end the show with PC!

Yep, cant wait to see some HD-quality stuff  :drool: :drool:

I'm sure they'll find SOMETHING to bitch about.  They always do. 

But you're right.  This is a day for us all to unite and rejoice.

It has been a great day, to share this experience and the new tour.

But.. there hasn't been a final word from Jarmo yet?..

Whats the link to the flickr page for htgth again?? I wonder if Jarmo put some stuff there already?

THAT WAS AMAZING!!!  :headbanger:

THANKS, JARMO, FOR THE UPDATES!!!  : ok:

"Thank you and good night Taipei!"

Jarmo@Twitter

I'm 32 years old, married, 3 kids, and I have a white collar professional job in the financial field from which I am posting from right now.  Can I just tell you how ridiculously excited I am that Axl & the crew are back?  I literally woke up this morning at 5:15 am just so I could get online to see Jarmo's updates from the show, literally on the other side of the planet (in New England, USA).  

I can't decide if I am pathetic or cool right now... LOL

Thanks,

Well it has been a good night.

Thanks to Jarmo for providing the updates to all of us, it was appreciated.

And nice to share it with you all.

Hopefully we'll get more videos, pictures later at the right time.

bye..

Loooks AMAZING.

Axl pics yet?

Thanks all. Better get back to work now!  :-X

Thanks a lot for the updates Jarmo!

Killer job  : ok:

WOW that setlist is fantastic.

must have been amazing

hope to see some boots.. cant wait to hear how DJ sounded on the songs.

Amazing setlist, can't wait to see how the rest of this leg unfolds!

wow, that looks like it was hell of a show .. hope Axl or GN'R will post something about it on Twitter.

Conrats to GN'R & Taipei for the first show !!

I want pictures dammit!  ;D

Thanks for the updates, Jarmo!

Heh heh...right there with you (just 3 years older and my job is in the health care industry).  AND I'm working from home....but otherwise, we're kindered spirits (right down to the general geographic location).

:)

Exactly. Hopefully it'll be a great looooooong World Tour.  ;D

Thanks for the updates Jarmo. : ok:

I didnt go to class cause of this hahah

WOW his voice is awesome!

who is doing the solos? they sound AWESOME as well!

wow set list is awesome !!!


Thanks Jarmo for the updates !!!

Good to have em Back !! : ok:

just realized something. did gnr hit the stage around 8 p.m. (japan time)? that's kind of early for them.

DJ is the SHIT!

Me too, me too!!  Same approx age, same New England area. I'm in a power protection industry...but other then that, I'm at work with at least 2 HTGTH windows open watching the updates and the discussion lol.  Not much work going on here, but HOT DAMN I'm happy!!

WTF?  They started early...I thought they would just be starting now.  Is that correct set list on 1st page?  does axl have short blonde hair?  Please someone help a sista out...I'm dying.  Anything else crazy happen?

Posted setlist to my Facebook page.

LOL I have a final lab practical today and i specifically requested mine be later in the day due to this! :beer: :beer:

Awesome!

Great crowd!


/jarmo

any pictures yet?  can't see shit on that youtube video.

Not one decent picture yet, come on lol

Jarmo give us pics!! How was Axl looking??

come on Jarmo!!! tell us more!!!  ;D

i might have had a exam today too  :hihi:

I know we all want instant access, but let the man take a breath.  He just got through seeing a kickass show.  In due time, we'll get pictures, more videos, all the fixins.  Hang in there.

later in the vid you can cleary here some axl screams:!

You're a lucky guy jarmo! Thanks for the updates! That was an awesome setlist! Say hi to Axl for me please!

Thanks again!!!!!!!

I think Axl sounded great on that video =)

it's taiwan, not japan

Everyone wanting pictures 25 minutes after the show's ended should just have some patience.

That SCOM is one of the best ever. Axl's voice sounded amazing and DJ's solos............. FUCK YEAH!

we are improving, normally it would've been 5 minutes :hihi: :hihi:

I think Richard plays the first half of the ending solo on SCOM, but oh well...

the opening band did hit the stage at 8 pm (taiwan time)  : ok:

it's going to be amazing when we get better footage

Yeah, I have to say that I agree with you there.  :-*

I'm sure there's going to be plenty of stuff to see later on today/tomorrow.

Relax people. jarmo's probably still recovering from the aftershocks and maybe he gets to hang with Axl and the guys for a couple of beers.

I hop that he does.  :yes:  : ok:

Thanks Nik : ok:

Smartphones with 3G connection or near wi-fi spots can do some tricks. :P

I imagine Jarmo being sorta like William Miller in Almost Famous right now.  :hihi:

Too funny, not one pic yet

Actually, that person just lives there. Enjoying the show from his or her balcony.

 :rofl: very good !!!!!

Richard, DJ  whoever played whatever parts of that solo did an amazing job

I'm sure the local newspaper there (whatever it's called) will have pictures up shortly on its Web site (whatever it is). Start googling foks. :peace:

- Amazing Setlist
- Amazing ASHBA
- Tommy Rulez
- Pink Panther  :rofl:
- Better Encore

The Real War machine Are Back !!! Thanks J. By UD.

- GUNS N' ROSES -

 :beer: :love: :beer:

Indeed...

Welcome back Guns N Roses!
from your fans! : ok:

Thanks for that video dude. That sounded awesome! Nice big crowd. I bet ya' Axl's feeling pretty good about this show right about, now.

Sipping a drink and feeling fine.  :beer:

do you know the name of "whatever it's called" newspaper??

thanks jarmo !!

it was very exciting to read your short
messages from the concert.

so, i had a really busy afternoon at work
- with my iphone :)

haha, no I wish I did; that's why I said we should use Google to figure it out. Mainstream papers or even Rolling Stone will pick up the pictures pretty quickly, though, if they put them out over a news service/wire, which they probably will.

No Nightrain???

Taipei times is the English speaking paper there (or one of them):

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/

Not sure how much entertainment type stuff they do, though.

Also in Taiwan:

Thanks for the updates Jarmo!

Thanks Jarmo for the updates !!!

Who cares?  ???

Man, just check that setlist out!!!
That's just awesome!!!

I can't wait for the Toronto show Axl!!!  :-*  :beer:  : ok:

Thanks for updates Jarmo...looking forward to full reviews and pics!

Mp3 version from this vid?o http://www.sendspace.com/file/062vg7

No. Just no. I would much rather take Nightrain over This I Love or Shacklers any day. New GNR own the shit out of that song and them not playing it is like a crime against humanity. Seriously, its the one one song I like better performed by the new band then the old. I mean, drop YCBM or something for God sakes. Totally sucks

sorry dude, id rather hear songs that havent been played live yet then one that has been played hundreds of times

you rather nightrain over this i love???

Even if the classic song is a million times better than the others? That said, could that TWAT was on there! Thatd be one to hear for sure. They should drop IRS

I hope they have 30 - 40 tunes like Ashba said and they rotate some of the set.  Some songs and order have to stay for their stage show (pyro, light cues), but there is a lot of room to mix in other tunes.

Were you there? No? Oh... in that case stop whining!
Seriously, complaining about them not playing a song at a gig that you wasn't even present at is lame.

Yeah, exactly man.

Let's not all start acting like little children and argue amongst ourselves now.

This is/has been a "Monumental" freaking moment.

I'm glad Axl's back and really glad he's playing a lot of new songs live.

Out with the old and in with the new.

AAAhhhhhhh!!!  :rant: Sendspace is blocked at work too!

even if axl showed up at their house, sang every song they wanted and even hired a hooker to give them a blowjob some people would find something to complain about.

Hahaha! That's right  8)

It's great they played 'Rocket Queen', 'TWAT' and 'This I love'.
This is all very exciting. Welcome back, Gunners!  : ok:

I was hoping for Sorry to be played, but otherwise an amazing setlist!!  The best ever IMO!

Great fucking setlist.  : ok:

the hooker should be pretty XD

It's something I don't think that I'll ever get my head around or figure out.  :confused:  Seriously.

Hair Style?

I have to agree with this statement.  I'd much rather trade Nightrain for This I Love.  Nightrain is on same level as WTTJ, SCOM, etc.  It should NEVER leave set list.

No one's complaining...it's called a discussion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVWWHgEVUdg

its the first show people, im sure songs are gonna be rotated regularly. some songs will get played one night and not another night.

ha! a Dutch Heineken commercial before a Taipei show!!!

Thanks tchen!!!

Got anymore dude???

i thought that was a great setlist, very interesting how they went from "Chinese Democracy" right into "Jungle"...i like that a lot!!  Looks like a great balance of old and new songs, something for everyone.  

Ja, grappig he!  ;D

That's funny! Walkin(g) fridge.

It will be interesting to see if they keep the same amount of new songs in the lineup for the Canadian dates.    Either way I don't care I can't wait to see them live again and this time 2 shows.  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK5mJP-v-X0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK5mJP-v-X0)

You're the coolest...I'm 35, same job only no kids...I have tix to Winnipeg and I already am having trouble sleeping  ;)

OH YES!

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_S1WaC6uLdYE/SyJldveigoI/AAAAAAAAAT4/WjgRn52hWHU/350.jpg

i had a big shit-eatin' grin on my face when i was watching that

Wooooooheeeee!  :o

People keep on posting shit that ranges from merely offensive to outright hateful shit. That'd be why.

Awesome. Just awesome!

My compliments about the amazing new stage were also deleted!

The setlist is so freakin awesome they should release it as dvd NOW! Could it be the best GNR show ever?? :drool:

Oh yes hope haters will be deletet forever! Block their IPno or something...just make?m go away

Hmmm... that is strange.
Perhaps it got caught up in other posts by mistake. The stage is indeed awesome looking!

If you quoted a deleted post, yours might be deleted too.  Also, during the tours, alot of posts get deleted just because they are near other deleted posts or if the post is nothing but a smilie or something.  I don't take offense, it's just a message board ;D

They will be out :hihi:  ...just not sure if "soon" is the word  (remember those days..)  :rofl: :rofl: :beer:

from that video, if thats DJ on SCOM solos - he sounds GOOD - he's got some lovely tone to his playing
goosebumps again hearing Axl...

I gotta be honest, I'm not crazy about the set list....I'm not happy that there's no OTGM, Nightrain, Patience, Sorry, and Catcher in the Rye.  OTGM, Nightrain and Sorry are raw, angry, and harder and the set list, IMO, is missing these type of songs.  Come on, suprise us....Gimme Civil War...Gimme Yesterdays...Gimme an oldie that wasn't played in '06 or '07!

I also don't like that Tommy sang "My Generation."  It reminds me of the time I went to see Bon Jovi a couple years ago and he played "Shout."  WTF?    Who wouldn't of rather heard Estranged over My Generation?  As if! Finally, I feel like that was way too many encors.

It will be interesting to see if they change the set list from show to show because in '06, they only changed up a couple songs.

Again, this is just my opinion.  I'm extremely happy their back...I've been anticipating this show since it was announced, and nothing makes me happier than that I will be seeing them in Montreal and toronto!

thats one fucker of a lighting set-up! wow!

(http://www.tvbs.com.tw/FILE_DB/newsphoto/yehmin/200912/yehmin-20091212001739.JPG)

Oh yeah, I do!!! I do remember those days!!!

Thanks again anyway. Rock on man!!!  :beer:

that stage set up looks awesome



(http://www.mypictureshare.com/img/h/b.gif)

Looking freaking AWESOME!!!!

exactly what I wanted to say...

and as far as my part of the setlist discussion goes: it's pretty normal for a band to mainly perform songs of their latest album... GNR played a lot more tonight, so we're lucky... :)

The Jealousy is seeping out of me right now!

God, I wish I could have seen that show last night. YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

Congrats to everyone there, Thanks to Axl, all of GNR and anyone else who helped make that show and the rest of the tour happen.

Especially big thanks to whomever is responsible for booking the upcoming shows in the Pacific Northwest... (Wink Wink)
Cough Cough,  (just trying to will it guys)

It's great to have you back guys!!!

(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4121/yehmin20091212001739.jpg)

Yep! Im also seeing red bandana from those pictures.

First of all, This I Love... Wow...

Second, James Bond solo, was this set list made for me?

Third, Pink Panther? I should have been there... But wait, I've listened to Axl playing it in Athens, but still...

Fourth... Tommy, MY GENERATION? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.....

Jarmo, you'd better be posting some pics or I'll kill you for being at the show with my dream setlist...

(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c286/gnrjanus/axl2010.jpg)

did he have the braids? Doesnt really look like it in the back but I can't tell for sure.



i may have to get my ass up to Canada

And i think it looks like "normal" hair?? not the braids??

It is hair not bandana and this is somehow irrelevant.

looks like hair and bandana to me

Incredible that so much discussion is dedicated to Axl's clothes and hair.
Anyone would think we were talking about a Lady Gaga show. :rofl:

The set list is great, come to think of it, being a GNR fan I don't think they could have a set list that would disappoint me. I mean really they never released a shitty song so even if they don't play my favorites, they'll still be plaing great songs.  Thanks everyone for posting setlists, and the SCOM video.  Hope they come to the States so I can get to a show.  

Maybe for you...

That must be normal hair in the back.

For the airport incident, use the thread that already exists about it. Please try and keep this thread for discussion of the show, so it's easier to read for those who may log in throughout the day and want to know how it went

Bullshit. If you want NT, go back to 1987...

Can someone rename this thread to Axls hair please?

Unbelievable .. you just had a great show and great things started to roll and all you can discuss is his hair?

Are you kidding me...You don't want to hear a "balls out" classic?

We are in a difficult position.  We know the new setlist (or at least one setlist), and we have yet to get a bunch of pics and vids (only a few teasers)  We HAVE to discuss SOMETHING  :rofl:

I actually think Nightrain is the best song on Appetite, with Rocket Queen.  But I like seeing them play new stuff.. Im sure Nightrain didnt go anywhere, it hasnt for the last 22 years, im sure they will play it again at some point on the tour.

Just posted one.... More coming in the near future I hope.  :)




/jarmo

You were not  at the show, stop complaining about the setlist.

Sure I do, but I would much rather hear the new material. It seems to me that they ran out of time and had to cut some songs from the setlist.

Man looks like an awesome show. Hope to see them in the states soon

Thanks Jarmo (o/t .. what, Fernando didn't get you ticket for front row, so you had to watch show from the back?  :hihi: )

Had to/??  damn I would love to hang there

Ummm, sorry to be a right royal pain in yer' arse there jarmo, by being such a stupid idiot but, where might this pic be located dude???  :-*

Chinese democracy!

Fucking dope setlist.

LOL at people whining for Nightrain.

some of paradice city
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pKHT65uFNg

Just unbelievable from what I have seen/heard...oh, to have been there  :crying:
The band is tight - the CD songs seem to have played well live...I bet (fingers crossed) we are seeing the beginning of another multi year marathon tour.

sweet great stuff

Chinese Democracy sounds AWESOME. Ron plays with killswitch and whammy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kngDquYQ7HY

But the sound quality of the recording is very poor.

I hope and pray we get a good quality video boot of this show. Someone surely had a video camera there!

That's a fucking awesome performance. This is, by far, the best Chinese Democracy performance ever (the song)

i wanna see the end of chinese democacy and how they led into wttj

Jarmo,

Don't take this the wrong way but....you fucking suck!! :)  And I mean that in the nicest way.  Seriously, dude, I am SO jealous!!!  Backstage?!!?  Ye gods, I can't even imagine....

 : ok:

I have so good feelings when im watching the clip of Paradise City, its like Axl has put the next gear on.  :smoking:

From what I've heard, this all sounds awesome.Sadly, this silly airport incident seems to be taking the spotlight to the actual performance.But whatever.Man, Axl looks and sounds terrific, but are we EVER going to see some decent quality pictures? I'm really curious about his hair,too.Can anyone confirm whether it's straight, long, short,etc? Thanks.

From the airport video it looks like it is past his shoulders and straight.

So, finally cd opens the show  :'( and the tour- and what a powerful performance!   :crying:



that must be me. :-[  

I doubt Jarmo will reply to this, but he is there obviously,backstage.Did he get to meet the band again, up close and personal? Jarmo, if so ... Some details would be appreciated.How's Axl? He happy to be in Tawain and touring again?

Just to clarify, Axl's hair was straight, pulled back in a ponytail at the show with a hat on over a bandana. Thats right..the bandana is back!

Axl looks to have the backwords hat and bandana look going on P-City.  :beer:

Can't believe it's fucking happening again. And this time it's for real!! Fuck, this is beyond awesomenes!!!!

All this talk about Axl's hair is becoming most disturbing to say the least.   :nervous:

Wow.   ::)

That's all I can say.   :-[

I find it entertaining and hilarious  :rofl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFlrVr_m_jA   :love: :love: :love: :love: :beer: :beer: :D :D ;D

man, it's the best choice he could have done! .. long straight hair rocks!  


 for what I've read it was an amazing show.. good luck to them all in this tour.  :love:

that vid is awesome, caro thanks :beer:

I can't see the vid until I get home (in about 7 hours  :'( ) What is this a vid of?

Sweet Child O' Mine

Thank you :)

I was wondering if they would play new songs on that tour or would stick to released material this time around, in order to protect future releases. They still could, of course... but I don't think they will.

Did a YouTube search and found that PC vid. AWESOME

I gotta admit, I'm a sucker for pyro....that opening of Chinese was amazing, haha.

Videos/photo: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=131834

sounds good. everytime Axl comes on the screen the the guy moves the video haha i want some professional pics  :drool:

Why there is so much lame-ass cry-babies on Blabbermouth. That site should be called shitmouth if you ask me! Seems like bunch of 10 year olds have written those first comments.

But i don't care, band is kicking some Taiwanese ass.

Thanks Jarmo for all the updates and to everyone who posted the videos...they sound great.  This should be a fun tour.  :yes:

What an awsome show.  The videos out so far are awsome. Perfect  :yes: Looks like I might have to take a road trip to Canada in a month or so !!!!!!!!!!

Thanx for the updates & vids, looking forward to some pics!!!  :drool:

Elaborate....

It was a spectacular show.

The performance and the show itself. Lots of new stuff to look at and I'm not even talking about the new songs or DJ!

So get a ticket and enjoy!



It's been so nice here for the past few days and then it starts raining during the show.

Definitely added another element to the show.

Axl was skating around on stage at one point...



The whole Bob Dylan mention before Knockin' On Heaven's Door was about Axl meeting Bob and Bob just wanting to know when they were gonna record the song so he can get the money....  :hihi:





/jarmo

Jarmo, do you have any pictures perhaps?

Jarmo, how did "If The World" and "Shackler's Revenge" come off in a live setting in your opinion?

Ali

It's an mp3 file, but I'm afraid to open it :hihi:

original poster, please advise what it is?

It's a bootleg of the whole darn show!!  :)

It's genuine. Boot of almost the whole show. Pretty pish quality but cool nonetheless.

I used no caution what-so-ever.It's an mp3 of the entire freakin show, just poor quality.Currently, I am hearing "If The World" live for the first time.Yay!

 :o really!?! AWESOME!

Downloaded,scanned, played...it's fine.

Agreed, it's no soundboard.

But it's better than what we had about 10 minutes ago. :)

That's great news! Somebody could upload that to megaupload, rapidshare etc.  : ok:

Listening to If The World right now. Voice is a lot raspier than on the record but sounds quality. Hope for a clear recording soon.

Amazing... Th e King is back  :)

Working on it now.

Only got 10 min before I have to go though.....will try to get it posted before I leave.

Holy crap, just hearing that opening bit still gets tears to my eyes.  I wanna jump up and scream!  course, my co-workers might think that's odd....

i can't download it :( can somebody re upload it in another server like mediafire ??

stop talking about the bootleg i wanna rip off my head cuz i can't download it!!

Sings the start of TWAT differently now. Starts off low then goes much higher. Also screams the chorus now.

Uploaded to megaupload.  Haven't had time to test it to make sure the link will work though...it JUST finished and I have to jet.

I'll check back in a couple hours to make sure it worked...if not, I'm sure someone else will take a crack:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DL16TKGU

Today is an amazing day for us Guns fans.  I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy to hear they played This I Love.  Cant wait to hear it

Thank you very fucking much!

Thank XBrownstoneX.  I just put it up on a different server so more people could get to it.  :)

Trying to get it up on mediafire, too.

NP

"El archivo al que est? intentando acceder est? temporalmente desactivado."

the file you're attempting acces is temporaly offline

I put it up on my server too: http://www.joethederelict.com/20091211_gnr_taipei.zip (http://www.joethederelict.com/20091211_gnr_taipei.zip)

This is a direct download, no wait.  However, I'm not going to leave it up very long, so grab it now while you can.

Thank you thank you thank you for uploading this!!!!!!!

I'm in 7th heaven right now listening to this.  It's not top quality, but it's LIVE FUCKING GNR MUSIC!! I'm listening from beginning to end.  Can't wait to hear TIL!!!

Sometimes megaupload takes a few minutes from upload to "ready to be downloaded".  Mediafire is better...and should be done in about 10 seconds.

Just saw the opening clip for Chinese Democracy. POWERFUL guitar sound.

jarmo, you must've had nuclear sized goosebumps!

That's the cleanest SCOM opening I've heard in a long long time (No offense Robin).

Via mediafire:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/htmjttyqhrz/20091211_gnr_taipei.zip

That looks to work better.  I'm out the door.  Enjoy!

And thanks again XBrownstoneX!!!

THANK YOU!!!! :headbanger:

Thanks for the upload!

you fuckin' rock dude!!!

downloading now
:D

I have nothing to complain about, altough I wasn't there I can say it must have been one hell of a show. Great setlist! Only Scraped and Sorry are missing of those I mostly wanted to see there, but maybe they'll play them in the next shows. It's just great! I've been sitting here since I woke up about 10hrs ago and just refressing this forum to see what's happening and discussing with other fans.. just like in 2006! I hope it's Europe in the summer so I can see them again.

IT'S ON!

OK, that's it.  I know that wasn't long, but ... that was around 10-15 megabits of traffic at once, and unfortunately, I can't sneak that by my host.  Looks like at least a couple hundred people got it.  Sorry I couldn't do more.

Cool, yeah it should allow you to continue downloading the file if you already started.

Nice one!!

What is this I'm downloading btw? lol

Can't be the whole show at 53mb?

Lots of videos  ;D ;D ;D  http://www.youtube.com/user/davidwang103688#p/u/2/SAX4oBpr_JQ

The quality isn't all that good, but it's something at least!!

I'm at TWAT right now, so I'm not sure if the entire show is on there yet.

Thank you to the original poster of the link!! You seriously rock for giving this to us so fast  :peace: ;D

Nice video of 'This I Love'!

Axl has the UYI-look on the Rocket Queen, its like watching Axl from the early 90s. Can't wait to see HQ-pictures, amazing! Also his voice has that raspier sound, those higher screams are fantastic.

awwwwwwwwww TIL, I wish axl played the piano instead of dizzy that would have been magic :( ..still beautiful, and axl's voice sounds  :o

Axl messes up a bit though.  ;D

Great pic! thanks a lot

solo during This I Love, just swesome

Could that be the November Rain jacket he has on during This I love? I think it is!

BANDANA IS BACK! :peace:


:hihi:

Great Pics Bansidhe!!!

AMAZING CONCERT !!!!!

Thanks Bansidhe!!!!

In the pic with the purple shirt he reminds me of Ginger Wildheart. I think he should either shave the tash off or grow a proper beard.

AXL Fukin' Style... AMAZING !! TOMMY On Vocals... Great !! THE GENERAL Kick Ass !!

 :beer:

awesome pics

great stuff ! ! !

3 pics of axl... 3 different clothing  :peace:

Seems like GNR really are back in shape. Axl and DJ sounds fantastic!! : ok:

Great pics! Love that he canned the braids.
He looks like an angry, well-kept midwestern truck driver   :peace:

i was thinking... my generation is the 2009 punk cover song??  just like attitude in 92-93?

scom different from the top of the stadium one  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai4YR_XfkI8

some of brownstone- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BNoicJZxj0

Best. Description. Ever. :hihi:



Maybe it's the bandana, but I thought he looked a bit younger than last time... :o

(http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs117.snc3/16461_212204138520_616388520_2977409_107823_n.jpg)

i loved the last one

This show really seemed like a celebration!  I hope the band had as much fun as it looked!  Looking forward to the Toronto show more than ever now.  Axl looks to be in fantastic form!  : ok:

and don't forget one thing people: WE HAVE 16 MORE CONCERTS ALREADY CONFIRMED!!

so if i'm goin' to live this 17 times in 2 months... this will be a fuckin' awesome end of 2009 and beginning of 2010

Wonder what i have to do to go to Canada

From what I've seen here, i have to see this live.

I added a second show (Hamilton) to my Canada adventure after seeing this.

it's crazy cool that there were 981 people online, that's 250 more then the previous record.. and that record was from when they played in NYC, first concert in 4 years.. now it was in taiwan ;D


this can become so big :smoking:

It sounds so great from what I have seen with the recordings.. "Chinese Democracy" is a killer opening song

Hurry up and get back down to Australia..please..

Come back to Helsinki, Finland and have again 2 shows in Hartwall Arena...still waiting those European dates :smoking:

What was the crowd like?  any idea of how many people were there?  Love how many people hit the boards...Seems like a nice second wind coming for Chinese Democracy...making plans right now from SD to Calgary...can't wait... ;D

Jarmo said crowd was awesome and it look to be sold out stadium =)

Wow, this show looks AMAZING! Axl and GN'R have always been genius and innovative and they continue to top themselves! It just keeps getting better!

I'm really excited for you guys that are going to the shows in Asia, Canada, SA - I actually have butterflies in my stomach as if I was actually at the show!!

Congratulations to Axl and GN'R for once again taking it to a whole new level!!! Safe and happy travels to all!

dreamer girl

this bootleg rocks even know the audio suck but hey it the best we got tell a better one comes out and im glad guns n' fucking roses is back ;D

18,000 to 20,000 fans showed up....  (very surprised as I was expecting a lot less)

what do i need? passport??

seriously, lets do a HTGTH meet up

what is the closest show in Canada to the Eastern part of the US?

I'm doing London and Hamilton. And you can get a "Passcard" for cheaper than a Passport, depending on what state you're from. If you're coming from further East then I am, I believe you'll want to head to Hamilton as I understand it's near Niagara.

Toronto is a hop skip and a jump away from Buffalo, NY.

Anyone wanna party with me in line?  :rofl:

I looked at my phone at school and noticed that the updates had already begun! THIS. IS. AWESOME!  :beer:

The band sounds tight as hell, Ashba deserves much respect for his great performance along with everybody else. They all looked like they were having fun, and oh ya, AXL IS BACK!!! Its been almost two years since Ive seen him live, and I can honestly say now that I am more excited than ever. I love his new/old look that he has going on, I love how he gives me an excuse to wear my bandana, and his voice is just impeccable.

 :beer:

I'm ready to go see this show when it comes my way.  Setlist looks great!

Is this what you were referring to?   (Is this Fortus or Bumblefoot's guitar .... )

http://www.youtube.com/user/davidwang103688#p/u/7/IQQd4xJps9o

amazing.....   :beer:

To all those that want NT over TIL" FUCK OFF!" The TIL vid is fucking insane!!!

Id be coming from Atlanta, so what do u think would be closest easiest to get to?

Your best bet from down there would be to drive straight up to Detroit, through Windsor and over to London. You're roughly 13 hours from Detroit, then it's about 2 to London.

The video that I saw was different.. these are even better.... thanks for sharing it

I would have been referring to Bumblefoot during the verses and his solos... he sounds amazing

Well from what ive seen and heard its all more than good, Axl sounds awesome and Ashba is cool as fuck. I wanna see Franks drum solo anyone got it ?

There are lots of us going to the Toronto show.

A few of us are even coming from the UK !! Come to that one.

Today is a truly great day.  : ok:

GREG

http://www.youtube.com/user/davidwang103688#p/u/7/IQQd4xJps9o

^ this thing is cool as shit ..

hell yeah, i could fly to Toronto,that would be bad ass!

Just think, we got anotherconcert here shortly to go crazy about.


awesome times for GNR fans!

Bumblefoot does the 2nd half of the solo and the outro. He plays fretless in the verses as well. Ashba does the intro riff and the 1st half of the solo.

That could wel be made into an song!
great flow
nice sound....

Too much dudes/dudettes.

Axl sounds insanely good, have a ball Jarmo ;)

It already is a song, it's that old wham song. Also the band Seether recently re-recorded it

Wait. What?

Did "Careless Whisper" make an appearance at some point in the concert??

http://www.youtube.com/user/davidwang103688#p/u/7/IQQd4xJps9o

I think that this is careless whisper, it sounds just like it.

Sweet set list i would be happy with that any day! Looks like it's going to be a great tour! I'm also digin axl new hair! I said this in the pic thred but IMO axl has the best style in rnr today

Ps: dj is a bamf


Peace

Don't think it's careless whisper,

could be wrong... but I think it's just a genious solo by Ashba!

Gotcha. Hadn't seen that one yet. Definitely the same chord progression as Careless.

http://www.youtube.com/user/davidwang103688#p/u/7/IQQd4xJps9o

This is just way too cool and I was stuck with the tune and can't stop going back listening to it at least 2 or more times before I can let go of it.    :peace: :yes: :peace: : ok:

I think this definitely tops Godfater.


perhaps we should start a thread to vote on the 2 solos and I am pretty confident on this new  theme against any perfomance back then.

indeed a very beautiful solo by mr Ashba

I enjoyed it! 100 times or so! :peace: : ok: :beer:

No, no, no.

If you want to talk about Slash you know where the Velvet Revolver section is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BNoicJZxj0#normal

have you guys seen this video. Mr. Brownstone.

Is there anymore songs up close like this?

Yeah I thought it sounded like "Careless Whisper" in parts too.  Not sure if it is or not though.

How it looks now  8)  

Still a fail, nice try though.

How bout that DJ Ashba solo before SCOM

WOW!

Man!  Axl sounds and looks great!  Love DJ!  The band seems so tight!  They have a different vibe about them, great chemistry!

Lord, how to say this without sounding like i am bashing..

I think the image and sound have finally collided and it is just explosive and over the fucking top awesome.

I think GNR look like a band now

before with Bucket and Robin's crazy goth look... it just looked kinda whats the word i am looking for that doesn't sound like bashing???


u get what I am saying

now they look like a bad ass rock n roll band.

agreed, and DJ doesn't butcher anything.  Also, they look like they are having fun, they didn't all the time before that is for sure.

i mean this is the FIRST FUCKING SHOW and they already sound that tight and thats on shitty youtube cellphone boots

cant imagine how it sounded live or proshot or soundboard

ALSO

great touch letting Tommy sing a song

Thats one of the things I loved about old school GNR how multiple members got to sing songs etc like Dust or So Fine or 14 years etc.

I was watching some footage with Bucket and Finck and it looked like Finck had just come off NIN tour.  It was disjointed.  Though in the studio I bet it was a different thing.  Now all the players mesh visually.  I love that Fortus, Ferrar and Stinson all have this punk rock background.  One thing about GN'R songs that make them motor is when the rhythm section is tight.  Those three guys are unreal players.

Looks AWESOME! ;D No night Train, or Patience??? :o

Nevermind, NT is on the setlist, but it wasn't played.

eh?

GREG

I wasn't there, but from what I've seen so far, I believe a pat on the collective GNR back is in order. :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:.......

And a hell YES!!!!!  They're back  ;D

Thanks estebanf!!!




Oh yeah, let me throw some love Frank's way.. he is the absolute perfect fit for GNR. He really has that Groove GNR has been missing in my opinion.

estebanf,

   thanks for the link, now I know what I'm doing tonight.

   #1 GNR
   

Amazing as always!

I'm so glad to see the band back on stage, and I am eagerly looking forward to attending one the future shows!

HA! Ron plays the main riff from Estranged on his solo spot... ;)
Teaser?

First reviews are coming...

Guns N' Roses gets a show under its belt

http://www.undercover.com.au/News-Story.aspx?id=9766_Guns_N_Roses_Perform_In_Taipei

: : Vicente : :

I MUST hear some Shacklers Revenge  ;D

I have always wondered what it would sound like live.

Here's the whole show with separate tracks - http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=58374.0

Wasn't there but after getting up at 6am to see what has appeared on line, this is my opinion.

Axl looks amazing and totally cool, I've always loved how he changes his look, even if I haven't always loved the look - in the early 90's when he had the beard he looked like my history teacher! This new look is really cool, I love it.

More importantly his voice, it sounds fucking incredible.

The rest of the band sound tight as fuck. I'm so pleased we got all the CD songs that we did, the new band has ownership of these songs and I think thats added so much. Ron is just such a talent, they all are though. DJ seems like the perfect fit and sounds a much neater guitar player than Robin.

10/10 I just hope they come to the UK sometime soon.

I'm 32 and still hero worship this band like I did when I was 14 years old.

I know what you mean bro. I was 5 when I first heard Gn'R (yeah, I know, lol, so what, I thought the cover of appetite looked cool) I was 9 in 1993 when I first saw them (second row!!!)  And I am still just as obsessed as I ever was

Guns N' Roses Perform At Taipei County Stadium
(http://www.rockstarweekly.com/listenlive.png)

Axl RoseGuns N' Roses kicked off the Chinese Democracy Tour in Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China last night (Dec. 11 in China), marking the band's first gigs in support of its 2008 CD. Footage from the Taipei County Stadium show has been leaked around YouTube and other video sharing sites with the videos showing an amazing performance from a band that sounds refreshed, energized and ready to kick some ass around the world. Lead vocalist Axl Rose appeared on stage wearing a hat with his non-braided hair pulled back. Taipei television broadcast screen captures show the rock legend in fine form.

The band performed several selections from the Chinese Democracy CD, including opening the show with the title track. The latest single Street of Dreams remains at #44 on the Canadian Active Rock Charts and GNR Greatest Hits rose one point to #18 on the Canadian Hard Rock Charts. GNR Greatest Hits has been on the Canadian charts for 298 weeks. Chinese Democracy topped the charts in its first week of release in 2008, selling 70,000 copies in Canada. The last time GNR topped the charts prior to that was in 1991 with Use Your Illusion II.

The outdoor stadium shows in Asia this month will generate unprecedented world attention as the new GNR have plans for a world tour which will include Canada and South America in 2010. The band returns to Canada for 13 dates in January and February, while the South American shows are expected between March and April.

one of the comments:
: ok: Its  all happening again

great pics and videos...
This was amazing show.

also,as i can see there was a lot of people...about 5000 were there,and this was a great number

I don't think so... and that's not a good number...

If Taiwanese TV-channel showed some clips, did somebody record it? Hopefully.

Im very happy about DJ, he has brought different sounds to new GNR, and i like it. His solo parts sounded great, considering this was his 1st GNR-liveshow.

I would still prefer more off Chinese D but this show sounds like it was cool as hell. Axl looks fucking cool.

same here mate im from england been a fan all along now im 35 . And i love the new band dont understand some old school fans who wont give them a fair crack of the whip

I think the reports beforehand said around 20,000 people.. From the videos I've seen, the crowd looks and sounds amazing! Singing along to everything.

Looks like it was a great GNR show, as all are, and I'm amazed as how Axl has only gotten better vocally, well I'm not amazed, I'm happy , cause as the yrs have gone on he and the band have only improved so much, and still make it feel so fresh and new!

The show last night was surreal, sucks for those that weren't there.  From a fan to another, was great.  Was great hearing Tommy sing My Generation, brought the crowd and crew to their feet in joy!

We are working in getting more visuals out to you guys, in real time.  So bare with us while we attempt to move what feels like mountains to get this done.  

DVD? :)

Stream? ;)

Like a live stream??  :o

It looked surreal :) .. thanx for hard work & it would be amazing to get some 'feel' of it in real time :).

You mean like live streaming?


Edited: ok, it sounds like it. ;D

There are cameras around anymay for the live feed during the gig, so I guess it could be possible to stream that on the internet. I guess I'd be willing to pay a few bucks (or ? really) to be able to watch a gig like that.

I can't see hacking as a problem. It's an extra revenue anyway and show have always been boolegged.

I believe the total number were between 18.000 and 20.000 for th Taipei show.

Cool!

Love live streams. They mean DVD's also  :peace:

complete WTTJ in decent quality

http://rapidshare.com/files/319797681/GNR-WTTJ-TAIPEI09-ESTEBANF.mp3

Thanks man! Is there more?

Full November Rain with very decent quality

http://rapidshare.com/files/319806639/November-Rain-Taipei-ULISES-GNRLA.mp3

Me too, thats an amazing song. Welcome back Axl! :beer:

We are working in getting more visuals out to you guys, in real time...

Fernando that would be great...Thank you :)

Btw: How is your mother after accident at the airport ? Is she injured?

Still thunderstruck by this...can't wait for my chance to go.

Anybody that was there get 'new' official merch or T-shirt?  pic's?

damn, i'd love to be one of those paper boys that get on stage every time it gets a little slippery, can u fix that for me fernando? :smoking:

Oh ya lol...Did we forget about the new Merch? Any cool CD shit?...Reviews and videos look amazing though..Cant wait till Toronto..

Also what time does the next show start? will there be updates for that? I'm wondering if the set will change? More so when Bach opens

I'm a BIG Tommy fan. Thanks to the band for letting Tommy shine. Great song selection as well.  :peace: :beer:

maybe do like Kiss and have a Facebook free stream concert?

That would be HUGE publicity and the perfect way to reintroduce GNR to the masses.

Why not just put out a live CD/DVD in time for the US leg of the tour?

Not that streaming wouldn't be cool...but we have had rumblings of official live recordings for a long time.

Hey Fernando, have u mind to do the same thing as livemetallica.com/metontour.com?? It would be awesome if every concert is recorded in soundboard quality. At least it will stop many audio bootlegers in that way!
BTW I like that live stream idea... but can u imagine everyone conected at the same time? I don't know but I think it might be the perfect time to release some GN'R club account to have access to that live stream.

IF THE WORLD... I WANT THE WHOLE SHIT IN GOOD QUALITY BAD!

Having said that... thank you this show obviously was gold, Axl fucking rules, tip top form. Goddamnit... cannot wait for GN'R to come home to L fucking A.

Looks to have been an amazing show.....can't wait to see them in Halifax  : ok:

I HAVE 'IF THE WORLD'

or atleast about a min of it....start at around 1min mark.

GUNS N' ROSES In Taiwan: More Video Footage Available - Dec. 12, 2009

More fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be viewed below.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=131876

Here some of the boots and seen some clip. Axl sounds great. Does Richard Fortus play like a maniac or what !!!!!!   :beer:

Ending:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWzv7rYA0b4

Too. Many. Contradictions. In one sentence. Can't compute....


Uh, anyway... this whole event kinda seems like a new era. Even though CD came out last year, it seems like this is a new start. It seems that every tour GNR have ever done has been a whole different thing and had a unique vibe.

AFD-era
The UYI tour
The 01/02 era with the new band and new songs
The 06 tour with Ron and more new CD songs
Now this one 8)


I would like very much for them to come to the UK. I would enjoy it.

Seems to have been a killer show! The setlist, DJ, and Axls vocals, awesome! More more more! ;D

Curious. What is with he mass manipulation in the release of these videos. I mean, the majority of them are of the classic GNR songs as if the one releasing them doesn't think many give a fuck about the CHinese D songs WHICH COULD NOT BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. The truth is I care so much more for the Chinese Songs now, and I want to see them performed (I am dying to hear more of IF THe World for instance). So what the fuck?

Having said that, I am grateful to have anything all.

Yes friend this is the only clip of ITW I have seen, and the quality is great compared to most of the others. BUT WHERE IS THE WHOLE ENCHILADA? Sounds so fucking badass why just a clip?

Ya, I would love to hear the ending; I can even see the nylon guitar behind Axl!  :drool:

Also, the second a Shacklers clip appears, please post it! I really want to know how they pull of the intro, the multiple vocals (dual/fortus?) along with the nutty solo.

Also, anything on TWAT yet? I seemed to have missed anything on that one.

i found only one word:great

Been forever since I posted. 

I've never seen such a flawless band in my life.  Almost perfection.

Ashba is a beast, and I love that Ron and Richard are doing more solos and backup vocals.

Oh yeah, Axl is back and looking great.  I just pray they come to the US.

The band sound fantastic. Axl is clearly enjoying himself enormously,
and is on top form.

The setlist is a nice balance of new material and old favourites.

DJ is superb.
