Here Today... Gone To Hell!

New concert today!!  :beer:

According to the tour section, we don't have any board members attending..

Anyone know anybody who could provide updates from the gig?


Btw.. it's almost 7pm in St. Petersburg right now (for those who's wondering)

Should be interesting, first time in Russia for GN'R :)

That's right! The Russians are in for a treat tonight, I guess it's a long ways coming for them.  :D


I see there might be some updates on mygnr, I'll relay them if it happens.  : ok:

What time is this show supposed to start?

Ticket place says 9pm

Did you remember of 06.06.1992

Danko jones are on Del`s posted a pic on his facebook page : ok:

According to someone on facebook, Danko Jones apparently just finished

Atraso at? agora: Uma hora e meia

Delay so far 1.5 hour....according to http://twitter.com/GunnersBrasil (http://twitter.com/GunnersBrasil)


22.30 local time St. Petersburg now....show can start any moment (?)...within 30 minutes (?)

Closing in on midnight, we can only assume the concert has started. No updates yet.

Did Jarmo not go to russia?

No, I don't think so

Someone in mygnr says the show started and that we won?t be getting any updates tonight  :'( . I hope he is wrong.

already finished?

Looks like it... I guess they started around 10pm.

There are some pics there as well. The guy thought DJ was Slash?  : ok:

Seemed like he had a great time though!

Strange that we really don't have any information about this show.. I mean, with all these twitters and facebooks and wi-fi's we have nothing but three photos.. and the guy who took them doesn't know that it's not Slash who's playing guitar and smoking ;D Well I guess we'll soon find out what's the setlist and all :)

Yeah, no Scraped.

The above setlist is in no way the official confirmed one. Until we hear first-hand from someone who attended, we can't be 100% sure.

Chinese Democracy (sound quality extremely poor)

Scumcat Esq. at mygnr was at the concert.

He says Scraped was played as well!  :peace:

Hope that setlist is legit because it looks pretty sweet.  Wouldn't mind if they kept it like that and altered the other 2 songs (eg. "Don't Cry" and "Scraped"), as they've seemed to have settled into playing the other 17 songs regularly.  In other words it'd be nice to get a rotation of another CD song and/or another classic. 

Yes I'm greedy.  19 songs just sounds better than 17, doesn't it?

Scumcast seems pretty familiar with the new lineup, don't know him myself but he's saying it was played and seems reliable so... awesome setlist! :) Also said the show started right on time to his surprise lol
ended pretty much right at midnight

Scraped:

edit: Holy shit! Axl is fucking insane!

Axl sounds like demon from hell.  So much sharper than the Asian shows.

Nice clip, I'd like to hear this live.  Glad Russia is enjoying GnR!

Yeah, he actually does. He sounds mean, vicious. Love it!

THANKS FOR SCRAPED!! :headbanger:

that's the best TIL i've heard. can't wait for Reading  :peace:

Does anybody know if there's a warming band?

danko jones open for GN'R if that's what you're asking

That's it, thanks

Insomnia, are you able to give some updates tomorrow night?

If not, could you write down the setlist, and post afterwards?  :)

I hope so :)

Best voice since the 90's?  :o

Quick trivia question!  1st to answer correctly wins a tremendous feeling of accomplishment.   ;D

What song performed by GNR mentions St. Petersburg by name? 

SFTD

Nice!  They should've played it.  I know that song gets some flak, but I can't help but crank that song the hell up when I listen to it.  I love it!

Yep!  SFTD.  Spirit, you can sleep comfortably tonight.  You are a winner!   :peace:
Cool song, and yeah, that would have been a cool surprise for our Russian Gunners.
Even without SFTD, I'm jealous as hell...I can't wait for the tour to roll through the U.S.   :peace:

Ok, what is SFTD? A cover song? :-[

Sympathy for the Devil, a kick ass cover song!!!

Ah right, thanks. Forgot about that one. :P

Well, listening to some videos from Youtube, i can say this was one of the best Axl's vocal perfomance ever.

Chinese Democracy, decent quality. The user has lots of other videos too.
