just leaving for the pre-show food&beer :beer:

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I had my best trip there in 2008 and I hope to come back there next year.

Hope tonight's show will be awesome. Have fun there, people! :)

I bet this is going to be an awesome gig :peace:

Right, I'm off to the show.  ;D

have a great time everyone  :peace:

In case you don't check the on tour section

http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_CZ.aspx

Gotta say the stage looks pretty massive compared to the 2006 one.

They just announced that incase people dont know, the show might go well over midnight. :-)

Have fun!!  :)

 :rant: Whoa!!! Whoa!!! Whoa!!!  Nobody or Nothin' gets away with threatening our Ron .... especially when it comes to his ability to give his usual 1,000% performance!!!

So unless you want a couple of million GNR fans going all epilator on your brillo-ass self, you just better BACK OFF, BEARD!!!  :rant:

Never heard Danko Jones before, but they were fun. :-)

I swear if this Rons Beard doesnt back off, i'm gonna shave him off with a straight razor and a can of mace.  ;D

Wax is the answer against that pesky beard  ;D

Thanks for the updates!

Just finished playing Prague at the O2 Arena now waiting for @gunsnroses to take the stage! - Danko

90 minutes after danko finished. Just announced the show will start in one hour. Tons of people leaving :-( hope just for beer..

Are you serious? Are you at the venue?

Yes. About 70 percent of seated arent in their seats anymore and about half standin are gone too. Dunno how many are coming back. Was fine till they announced that another hour delay

Now that's one hell of a delay, wonder what's going on.  ???

I hope this ends well. We don't need another Dublin.

Intro

STARTED!!! :headbanger:

It started already, as AdZ posted. Hopefully people stayed there because they are about to have their ass kicked properly.

Intro
Chinese Democracy
Welcome to the jungle
It's so Easy
Mr. Brownstone

Did people back  in their seats?

If Jarmo has an e-bay account, I think Frank's out one hat.  :hihi:

GN'R in Concert LIVE #nowplaying at the O2 arena in Prague! (@ O2 Arena w/ 2 others) http://4sq.com/69qI6j
5 minutes ago via foursquare

sorry for the misquote but tons of people did leave the show! so don't blame me for taking good evening rash just as with Reading!

Did the people come back though? The pic above makes it look pretty busy.

Why would the venue say it would be another hour if the band were on half an hour after that...?  ???

Look at the pic Del posted on his facebook.  Looks pretty crowded to me!!!

yeah well after reading anything can happen.
so I just assumed something was wrong. and why to blame me...
I did say nothing wrong just thought something was up.

I don't think anyone's blaming you of anything.

Just clarified the misunderstanding.  : ok:

thanks :)

scraped is back.........................

SCRAPED!!

Well it was good of someone to announce that the show would start at a particular time, I would assume it might mean that it (the delay) was beyond the bands control. Otherwise why wouldnt they just wait it out like any other show.

Nice to see Scraped back!

they could have said something after Danko was done instead of 90 minutes after. that's just ignorance from the promotor!

most people came bk. We just got Scraped!! Wooot

I love this song so much that I use it as an e-mail alert on my phone!  ;D

but if I get a few alerts back to back to back, it can get annoying  :P
 

It is believed that he causes all of the delays during the gigs for Guns N'Roses
Others say he's just black and doesn't like the lights!
but all we know is. he's called the Beard!

I wake up to it on Mondays

 :o  Wonder what's up with that??

what did happen during Street Of Dreams???

It was ''Beard'' Dum dum dum!....... :rofl:

They stopped SOD and played YCBM instead?  Was there a bottle incident again?

AdZ says "equipment issues" in the updates thread.

There you go.  Guess not only did Scraped make a return to the setlist but "TD" also made it's return.  :hihi:

TD = technical difficulties.  A few years back, the shows were plagued with technical difficulties so some people would refer to it in their updates as TD.  :P

Not every show can be perfect. They are human after all.  :)

the piano broke.they played sot after ycbm

Didn't Axl say the other day that he broke the piano when he was playing it with his foot?

This is from the Belgrade show updates/discussion.  Guess he wasn't joking.  :P

---

It was never said maliciously.  Just sorta as an "inside joke" that everyone was in on.  : ok:

OMG, Scraped. I so wish I could be there... :(

Yes Scraped  ;D, please let it start being a staple in the set. Such a badass song, I wonder if the intro was like the Osaka 09 version, where Frank does a drum intro.  :)

I guess it was. The last time they played (Brasilia - Brazil) they did that drum intro.


Edit: wow, Shacklers too! That's the best setlist of this tour so far IMO.

Fucking hell! Shackler's!!

Shackler's, I.R.S..... AND Scraped!!

fockin 'el  :o

The last time they played Scraped actually was in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

This is the exact show that i wanna see in Portugal on the 6th, i hope they play both, Shacklers and Scraped

Bets on PC for the closer  ;)

Want to complain about waiting 2 1/2 hours between bands to see Guns N Roses when your given a setlist like that?

Great setlist, how long is the show so far?

Especially with 9 songs from Chinese Democracy!

Oh, my bad. Still, I guess the drum intro was there. :)

 :o  Gezzy must be psychic!!!!

 :P

AMAZING AWESOME SETLIST!!! :headbanger:
THANKS JARMO, ADZ, AND DEL FOR THE UPDATES N' PICS!!!  :beer:

2:45 by my calculations..   :peace:

Tired, thirsty, deaf and dead happy. :-)

I'm glad that they have brought back Whole Lotta Rosie, and now it seems like a staple as well. I also like how they do Rocket Queen and This I love earlier in the setlist. A couple of months back you would imagine them 2 songs being almost near the end.

wo-fucking-ow!!

that's what I call a marathonic show! What a setlist!

Tks everyone for thge updates!!!  :peace:

Thanks once again to AdZ and jarmo!!!  :beer:

CONGRATS on being there for what sounds like an amazing show!!!  : ok:

Thanks for the updates and I think it was a kick ass setlist tonight

Well for a setlist like tonight you're allowed to write it in caps i say  ;)

some things from top of my head before i collapse in bed:

- Axl was mean in IRS and Shacklers. He sounded like the Devil himself.  ;D

- Street of Dreams got played only for few notes before something went horribly wrong with the piano and it got stopped
  "Put that piece of shit out of here" - Axl.

- Scraped. From where i stood (middle in front of Axl bout 6th line) it sounded like one massive wall of sound. Coudln't really hear anyone playing anything, but it sounded awesome.  ;D Great surprise. With the drum intro

- You Could Be Mine. I always thought they play this one just for the count, but man, it sounds GREAT live! :)

- Rosie is on hell of the rocknroll song. Barely anyone knew it in the audience, but they all got hooked on it.

- It really wasn't looking good at 22:45 when they announced the 1 more hour delay, more than half the people left the show area, but you should have seen it when the lights went off at 23:15. Ive never seen so many people sprinting back to their seats and to the floor.  ;D Pretty much everyone came back and stayed till the end.

Here's Scraped in MP3 extracted from a HD source: http://www.mediafire.com/?ki6c32l8nyl23c1

Axl's vocals are demoniac. Cant figure another adjective out.

 :drool: Fuckin Amazing Thanks!

I just got back from the show, tired to death, can't feel my damn legs. what I witnessed today was... well, definitely not what I expected. it was a terrible mess, and fight that finally prevailed, and the band won the day!
Danko Jones started around 20, the first song was cool, but all the others seemed the same so it was boring after 5 of them. Danko is a madman, but things like shouting, asking questions or clapping hands just doesn't work on typical czech audience. Danko finished around 21:15. around 21:00 I saw Frank by the side of the stage watching Danko, so I thought the band is already there and everything will go smoothly. I couldn't be more naive!
after 90 minutes of waiting, the promoter told us to calm down, that everything is gonna be ok, and that Axl is on the way. the show was supposed to start in an hour, so maybe half of the audience went away for some beer, toilets etc. however, intro started unexpected around 23:15, and Guns went on.
immediately, I noticed the sound is strange (it already was at Danko), too overboosted and slightly out of tune. technical difficulties were heavy, and the band was fighting with them. to me, the guitars were sometimes just a wall of sound, without noticing the tunes, but meh, it worked somehow. before SoD, Dizzy played his solo, and after that he started SoD, Richard sat down to Dizzy, and the piano went mad, Axl stopped the song and they removed the piano to fix it, and played YCBM instead.
to be honest, the guys looked pretty pale and tired, I bet they partied like hell! booze is too cheap in this country :hihi:
the highlight of the show for me was Richard. since he joined the band, I considered him rhytm guitarist with occasional solos. well, he proved me wrong. tonight, he was like possessed. he was everywhere and played like crazy! now, from my point of view, GNR have 3 lead guitarists, period.
the sound got a little better later in the show, and surprisingly very late after midnight, the arena was still packed, virtually nobody left! by 2:00 after midnight the show was over, and everybody was still there! that was it - the band won over the tech difficulties (and possibly heavy hangover, in the final bow Ron looked tired to death).
maybe I'll be able to write more after I get some sleep.

''Chinese Democracy'' in an obscene high definition source  :peace:

why is it vertical?

AMAZING! Thanks!

Pay attention to Axl at 2:40... is he almost forgetting something?  :hihi:

I really like IRS live, just an awesome mean & powerful song ...

Guess the bar has been very busy during the delay :beer:


Always liked Richards playing, really talented guy as they all are... the band is just top notch ! Hopefully the mainstream world will start to realize that soon ...

Btw, good morning everyone (I fell out of bed)

Haha, pretty tied up hanging upside down ! Cool vid though...

His mic ?? :rofl:

Now I want them to rest until Belgium. No party guys !! Give us a hell of a show like this one : ok: : ok:

Scraped and Shackler's?  :drool:

ups...

Delaying of the show was mistake of organizators. well in Belgrade and Zagreb we had 2 opening acts, and in media we got information from the organizators ''guns n roses won't start before 11',so there will be 2 opening acts in 21 nightsift and on 22 danko jones''.So we could planed our time. I don't get it why do you blame Axl for delaying when whole world knowing ''Axl will take stage not before 11''.And again it's organizators fault.

wow, it's been too long since I've woken up in the afternoon ;D just a little more observations:
Chris Pitman was regularly standing between Frank and Dizzy playing tambourine, he was dancing there like Tracy or whatever were those bitches during late UYI tour, crazy thing!
DJ was helping Frank drumming during one of the late songs, stealing his drumstick, playing with it, and finally throwing it into the audience. during PC, I think, he was playing the solo using his shirt! also after PC, the confettis were everywhere, Axl threw the mike into the audience. later I met the girl who caught it leaving the arena :hihi: lucky one.
during the first attempt of SoD, Axl said (trying to remember it exactly) "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? every single instrument is out of tune here, bring that piece of shit out".
after PC, Axl excused for the late start.

just for record: on one song Axl get Polish flag on his back! ;)

correct, DJ then grabbed czech one.
btw, during Ron solo, somebody threw in a sign "happy belated birthday, Ron!" which he grabbed and thanked the audience. there was also some funny stuff, like Axl grabbing a red bra with GNR sign attached to it, or DJ playing with white panties on his guitar, while Axl was trying to remove it :hihi:

one more thing I forgot: This I Love gave me chills. THREE TIMES.

The thing that he's wrapping around the Mic - he got that in Zagreb. :D

Nice to hear you had a blast, zombux.  : ok:

That's a whole lot of pictures, thanks for sharing !

Awesome set list! Are the scarves around the Mic stand (aka Steven Tyler) a recent thing?

reportedly, about 500 people asked for refund due to the massive delay.

sweeeeeeeeeet  :love:
Was it Pompon's one (like in 2006 in Warsaw)  ;D ?
Which song was it? Do you have a photo of the moment?

While watching today in the morning some first YT videos, I knew that the first row dancing and bouncing arund must be OUR guys  :smoking: Good job!

That's like askin for a steak medium rare, eating it and wanting a refund cause it's to bloody.. You know axl is gonna go on later, don't ask for a refund if he rocks the house with one of the best setlist of 09/10

Awesome dude!! Thanks!! Got any more? I'd love to hear IRS!! : ok:

The same user have some other songs, like November Rain, WTTJ and SCOM. I believe Scraped was the only one from CD, tho.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc531pP_bYY on 2:35 min ;) Yep most of them are Poles... no offense but Czechs were lil calm ;) 

if I can judge by my own senses, the best performances of the show were November Rain and This I Love. the rockers were unfortunately a bit worse, guitars were far too off. but it might be also due to my position, and from other places it might sound much better. I'm sorry I can't check the youtube vids atm, my connection should improve within days.

about polish fans (and also slovakian!) - nice to have you there, you are more action boys than us. czechs are usually extremely cold, just stand and enjoy the show without too much emotions. but don't get me wrong, we love the music!

Some cool videos at the same place like always.  Hope some others will pop up!

That setlist gave me a big surprise  :o

Thanks for the updates / audios / videos !!! Seems like it was a trully fuckin`tastic show.  :beer:

Thanks, that helped a lot. :)

hell yeah, we are crazy asses when it comes to live shows :hihi: Some bands call us the "Mexicans of Europe"  8)

And we luv you Czechs, eventhough you're not showing the emotions  : ok:  :beer:

edit:
Ok, just watched the video:
it was a Polish flag worn by Axl in Monaco style  :hihi:  : ok:  :-*

Very nice version......is it just me or are the guitar parts changed a bit ? Nice solo by Ron !  : ok:

/jarmo

I think some songs were screwed up a bit, but they managed to go on (do you remember Nightrain from Pukkelpop 2002?)

really great pics! Jarmo, You have to do a tourbook!
I know that it was an amazing show... I'm so sad cause I was not there... I have this fuckin' cold.

A bit shaky, but here's IRS (and KOHD):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6mfqe_rGTI

Axl's voice sounds awesome. I think it's the best performance since 2007 IMHO.

very cool and excellent vocals, . Be so great to have a nice compilation official dvd(blue-ray) box set of shows!

The waiting was a bit tiresome. When the announcement came that they were going to be one hour late. We went for beer. They started in half an hour after that so we missed Chinese trying to get back in again. But after that things just got better and better. From where we were sitting the sound was perfect! And Axls voice just kept getting better and better the more he sang! I mean it was amazing from get go but just went on and ond, expanding in power the whole night! Thanks Axl and Guns N Roses you brought tears to my eyes. And thanx Czeh girls for dancing so beautyfull, you are the best!!! :love: :beer: :drool: :peace:

Damn how the hell does Axl's voice sound that good?  2010>2007>2006>2002.

Nothing has changed since the start of this tour. It's been played like that since the start of the tour. You can hear it clearly at the Peru show - there's a great quality bootleg out there and the guitars are as loud in the mix, so you can hear it properly. Sometimes it's too loud, to be honest, but at least you can notice that we have an amazing trio in GnR and it does sound awesome! : ok:

I Like Axl's voice sound From 1985 To 2010

It was amazing, and fuck, I'm sooo happy they played 9 songs from ChD.
But the crowd really sucked there

You're right. I've never seen Axl doing that before. Maybe Axl is listening to Aerosmith too much, 'cause I read somewhere that he was singing/jamming an Aero song recently at a concert.

I liked it.

Thank's for the vids and pics !!!

Has Aerosmith even played recently? Are you thinking of kiss?

No man, I'm talking about Axl singing some aero song at some show. I found it: Adz posted (Zagreb topic): Axl sings part of aerosmith's chip away the stone before pc.

LOVE DJ's solo during patience.

Mama Kin long time ago maybe? was on the Lies album, originally by Aerosmith... always loved that song...

Cheers

Ahhhh i'm with ya! Sorry about that!
