Guns N Roses Madrid
09/OCT/2010 Palacio Vistalegre - Conciertos, Madrid
SOLD OUT

http://www.ticketbis.com/entradas-guns-n-roses-barcelona/ev1604

Hours for the show! caaaaaaaaaaaaant wait no more! Dont worry about the rain,the place is a Bullring but its completly covered.

How many times do I need to tell you this?

#1: That's not the only official (?) ticket office. There's also http://www.ticketmaster.es/

#2: You're not only listing some random ticket seller, you're posting a Barcelona ticket link in the Madrid thread.

#3: Sometimes ticket sales are stopped online before the show.


Please stop these "SOLD OUT" posts when they're not based on REALITY.



/jarmo

well I know how you feel...you'll have unforgetable night with Gnr

Is not sold out,yesterday there were tickets,but not floor tickets.Anyway i think a lot of people will go to the show.

I understand why you'd want the gigs to be "SOLD OUT" HBK, but its misleading to fans and more importantly, to potential last-minute buyers.

Have a great time Gunners!

Anniversary of John Lennon's birthday, maybe a fitting opportunity to play Catcher In The Rye again     :beer:

Yeah plus I was thinking that instead of the usual Elton John's Goodbye YellowBrick Road/Someone Saved My Life Tonight combo that they'd change that up tonight to Elton's Empty Garden (hey hey Johnny) followed by Imagine leading into November Rain.

That would be very fitting and beautiful Gypsy.

Really liked the acoustic version they did in '93 a few times during "Patience."  Would be nice to hear it again with this band and on this day.

To be honest, I'd really rather Dizzy do those songs as his solo.  There's just something I find so beautiful in Dizzy's playing.  It really does touch my gypsy soul.  :)


No offense to that other piano guy in the band.  He plays nice too.  :P

I doubt you'll get any of that. The band don't exactly live for anniversaries of various deaths and releases, and rightfully so.

It might get a mention, but I doubt it'll have an impact on the setlist.

And thats not a bad thing, setlists have been perfect recently.

They did play Catcher in Toronto after Salinger died, Axl mentioned his death before they played it. But that was a little more timely. Still, the more they play that song, the better :)

http://bambuser.com/channel/albertosenia/broadcast/1076603 (http://bambuser.com/channel/albertosenia/broadcast/1076603)

Maybe not perfect but can't get closer tonight...hopefully more later  :peace:

I love the song, and youre right, that time they did alter the setlist.

I'm just amazed that every time theres an anniversary of some musical achievement or death, some people spend the pre-show expecting GN'R to react to it.

Bach on stage, 30 minute show.

: ok:

Would be better if uncle Axl said, "well those fuckers in London are in for a real treat next week..." And do CitR with Brian May

meanwhile also LALD...

Sorry guys for being a bit late on the updates, I was on my way to work and I couldnt find a fuckin parking space...

From now on we're back in business...

Thanks Christos and Jarmo!

Catcher would indeed be very fitting tonight. : ok:

So DJ threw the bottle of Jagger into the audience?? I hope he didnt do it like Axl throws the whistle and mic.  :o

I hope he closed the bottle before throwing it in the crowd though, Jager is some sticky shit ...
Reading Christos and Jarmo's updates it sound like another damn fine show ! I wish I could attend them all !

Thank you for the updates Christos & Jarmo, sounds like one more amazing show!  :beer:

Finally....the band is throwing shit back  :beer:

Elton John is there?

No.  It was a joke.  Axl was teasing Bumblefoot because he was wearing oversized glasses like Elton does.

I doubt you'll get any of that. The band don't exactly live for anniversaries of various deaths and releases, and rightfully so.

John Lennon wasn't a various death, it was a murder that effected millions.

I would like to know if Axl or Sebastian speak a little in Spanish. It seems like a wonderful show. I feel a little nostalgic remember when I see GNR on march 30th

bumblefoot
Madrid! You all were aaaaaamazing!
On the bus to San Sebastian, watched Raging Bull for the 10th time... "u gonna bodda me abowda steak?"
47 minutes ago

I could write you a list of all the events that have affected millions, but that doesnt mean GN'R are going to pay tribute to all of them.

And it wasn't Lennon's death, it was the anniversary of his birthday..

Great setlist, crowd look awesome, thanks everyone for the updates & photos. 

Looks like the place was packed again, wonderful !  :peace:

I don't have too much time to post, so I'll make it quick.

What an amazing night.

Off all shows I've ever seen, this one was the best by a mile. Band sounded incredible well.

Axl was in a great mood. He was smiling, talking to the crowd, getting people to clap...he really made sure the whole crowd got involved. And the crowd reacted- A packed house. 2 hours and 40 mins later, no one had left the building.  This, compared with the last time they'd played in Madrid, is/was quite an achievement- Off all the shows I'eve ever been from any band, I've never seen a crowd as loud as the one I witnessed last night. "Jungle" was insane.

Highlights for me were Sorry, Shacklers, Better, Rocket Queen and The Blues. The crowd loved AFD songs obviously, but responded well to the CD ones. YCBM was also pretty insane.

After the show, I got to meet a few members of the band (took some pics - will post them soon). They were all extremely happy to chat/take pictures with all of us. Bumblefoot hugged my girlfriend, squeezed her to death, and kissed her at least a dozen times, before I gave him that look...(J/k). Ashba was cool to take a few pics, Frank is awesome... Axl was not there-

And last but not least, thank you Jarmo for making it happen- We finally got to meet. You rock!!

PS.Oh, and thank you for the cervezas!!

spot on !

yeah...cool pic

I just love the fact that most fans still call it The Blues, well, me included...  :beer:

I just have to add that last night at work was insane and I also wanted/had to update the board...

I should have made a video of the whole situation and upload it on youtube, you'd be laughing your ass off...

Come to think about it, I have a video from the security cameras...  :smoking:

wow...pretty wild crowd and arena looked packed?

somebody know for a capacity of arena?

again great crowd

Picture taken yesterday by the Spanish newspaper El Pais:

Thanks everyone for the updates and pics!

I wish I could go to the last show in Barcelona but due to the fucking annual taxes I can't afford it.

Awesome pic's Jarmo... Love the last one pretty much, Dj being a bad boy again ! Enjoy the show tonight and my regards to the band... Cheers

Hahaha! I loved the Ashba pic, he's truly a very nice guy! Very humble and patient! : ok:

like humblefoot? :)

go for it my friend  ;D Upload it , we wanna see it!  ;D

have to say madrid was awesome. had loads of fun on the days off as well as at the show. thanks all.

I definitely think they're similar! Very humble and very grateful to have fans and all, thats the image i got from them.

To be honest i dunno how anybody in this world could not like this new band... not to get into some old band vs new band discussion, but the new band guys are more fan friendly, much more relaxed on stage, they also play the songs faster and with more edge than the old band.

The old band had that special charisma because they were the originals and because they lived through all that shit that was written in the songs before Chinese Democracy. But i think that in general this new band is great breathe of fresh air!
So who the fuck needs Slash anyways...

No words to explain what i saw,way better than 2006 and id love that show.We can dream with this band for at least 10 years.First time that i see good reviews of gnr in the newspaper.the press said something like "surprise! the show was awesome"

How was sebastian bach?

Would be great to get a Back In The Saddle cover w/GN'R before the end of the tour.

S.Bach? very good ! running,waving the microphone,doing headbanging and singing well.Very good concert,the public and i think him would love to play 2 o 3 more songs.



Btw if someone has or know where to find a bootleg audio or video of the show at madrid,PLEASE TELL ME WHERE!  :beer:

Cool. Looking forward to the UK dates even more now I've read that  :)

You will enjoy the show for sure,Axl's has his voice at 200% and seems to be happier than ever,I have to say that before the show i was thinking that Ashba is the best guitar of GNR but after the show,and watching what i saw i have to say that Ron Thal is the man.Better than 2006 maybe it was one of the first shows but last time in madrid he sounded like a God.Veeery,very, good.Ashba was good to but Ron thal was something "out of this world".

At the end of the show i had the chance to meet some band members.

Thank you !!!

that pic says it all love it :hihi:

Hmmm-Shame -I'm not so sure about it-it seems unecessary.
Slash was a huge part of the guns N roses history-i don't see the point of soiling that any more than it already has been.
I guess though for younger fans- & not an oldie like myself-this new band IS their GnR memory.
I personally don't feel the need to compare the 2-thats impossible if you've grown up with GnR-old & new.They're both different & play their important part.you can't deny the power of Slash back in the day.

lucky lucky you!!

if it wasn't for the smile, I would say BBF looks like a KGB officer

GUNS N' ROSES: Madrid Concert Highlights - Oct. 13, 2010

Spain's GoetiaMetal.com has uploaded video highlights of GUNS N' ROSES' October 9, 2010 concert at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid. Check it out in two parts below.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=147660

About the comments in Blabbermouth..

Everyone has the right to belive in anything that seems right. But...in my opnion..and it is just my opnion..we will not evolute if we  keep saying bad things about everything..say no to negativism.

OMFG!!! Had the time of my life!!!  :yes:
The concert was amazing!!!

Everyone stuck in the past will not evolve... the past is the past, the future is yet to come so better live today and enjoy ! Blabbermouth clearly is stuck somewhere in time...

Cheers

 

To me works like that: people who spend time bullshitting, cursing and badmouthing the new band (because they don't like it, because they prefer the old lineup or whatever) again and again on YouTube, Blabbermouth or any other website are just useless. Better just not read it. It's not just opinion, that's very much trolling.

it makes me laugh i was chatting to someone at work last week and he was going on about slash and not being the same band and i mentioned Duff joining them at the 02 and he didn`t know who it was!! i`ve seen the old and the new and believe me this band rocks : ok:
