Wow great show! Great Crowd!

Looking at the pics almost a full house maybe. Great to see that.  : ok:

shut up brownstone - nobody cares what you think!!  :hihi:

see you this tomorrow and this weekend man! : ok:

Amazing show.  Best of the Chicago shows in the last few years.  The band was so good, and it was noticeable (to me, at least) how much more powerful Frank/Tommy sounded- the thunder was amazing- WTTJ was like a powerful locomotive.  I was so happy so see how great Axl sounded and how much he was into the show- he always sings with his whole body- the dancing, gestures, expressions- everything felt very genuine and important to him.  On top of that, he was smiling, joking with the band, having a blast.

The AC/DC covers were just intense, again, packed with thunder and Axl was so intensely into them, even when dancing and not singing.

I enjoyed the "solos" because they were parts of songs multiple members played.  This wasn't a single guy jamming along for 5 minutes.  It was more like the members got a "spotlight moment" in leading the band- The The Who, Pink Panther, Pink Floyd- all great choices that sit well next to GNR material.

They started at 11:15 and ended somewhere between 2:00 and 2:15.  Not many people left early.

From a poster on another board who captured little moments well-
   
Great show, couple things not mentioned...

DJ and Ron chugging bottles of J?ger together on stage

DJ slid and hit an arena security woman in the head lightly with his guitar to tease her, she looked very upset

Axl told a quick story 'I was at a gas station two days ago after the show, and was talking to the lady about movies and stuff like that when she turns to her friend and says "guns n roses were in town today and I heard Axl was very well behaved and came on stage at a decent time, which is good because he is a real snot sometimes" needless to say she and I are buddies now.'

Someone threw a banner with happy birthday chris on stage and they sang happy birthday for him.  DJ took the banner up to Chris to show him.

Rejuvenated Axl Rose, band worth the wait
At Allstate Arena, an 11:10 start but 3 hours of scorching songs

Guns 'N Roses perform at the Allstate Arena

Axl Rose and Guns 'N Roses perform at Allstate Arena. (Nuccio DiNuzzo, Chicago Tribune / November 15, 2011)

By Bob Gendron, Special to the Tribune

8:36 a.m. CST, November 16, 2011
While the current Guns N' Roses cast barely bears resemblance to the incarnation that sold millions of records in the early 90s, holdover traits remain: The group continues to take the stage late and put on marathon shows. Tuesday at a near-capacity Allstate Arena, the ensemble made an 11:10 p.m. start mostly worth the wait with an energetic three-hour concert far superior to its disastrous 2002 and uneven 2006 performances at the same venue. For what seems like the first time since everyone but enigmatic leader Axl Rose left the original lineup nearly two decades ago, Guns N' Roses amounted to more than just a declining, primarily anonymous covers band content to feast on nostalgia.

It helped that Rose was in excellent spirits and voice. He capably nailed rafter-scraping highs and cackling wails, even channeling deceased AC/DC singer Bon Scott's rowdy shrieks during scorching renditions of the Australian band's "Whole Lotta Rosie" and "Riff Raff." Wearing designer jeans and an assortment of leather jackets and fedoras, the 49-year-old front man resembled a Sunset Strip hustler. Rose's handlebar mustache, bracelets and gaudy, finger-choking rings completed a sleazy demeanor that complemented the strip-club slide of "Rocket Queen" and vitriolic spite of "Better."

Along with the reappearance of his signature bandanna and circle-based microphone stand, the vocalist revived classic moves in the form of wind sprints, leg kicks, crossover shuffles and suggestive hand signals. Visibly having fun and utilizing monitors as a platform, he cut down on the frequency of back stage trips for oxygen, and when present, usually stayed in motion.

So did guitarist DJ Ashba. The band's latest recruit brought to the melodies a fluidity, finesse and soulfulness sorely absent since Guns N' Roses' heyday, instilling favorites such as "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Mr. Brownstone" with a tonal character that swaggered rather than simply slammed. It's still a mystery as to why the group requires three guitarists and two keyboardists. Nonetheless, the members interacted as a unit, convincingly integrating newer "Chinese Democracy" material with older fare, and playing at a level where the crowd needn't mentally fill in missing notes.

No longer essential as harmless distractions, either, were pyrotechnics that punctuated songs. Other excesses worked against the group. Four instrumental interludes and multiple jams interrupted momentum. A few bloated tunes, including "Madagascar," also dragged down the pace.

Yet Rose's dramatic deliveries turned several sweeping ballads into poignant mediations on unrequited love ("November Rain"), anguished loss ("This I Love") and antagonistic relationships ("Sorry"). A cathartic reading of "Estranged," a 1991 epic dusted off for this tour, presented in intimate fashion the emotional dichotomies, illusory perceptions and inward struggles that have seemingly consumed Rose throughout his career. In opting for vulnerability over anger, and sentimentality over menace, the less-reckless Guns N' Roses reticently hinted at redemption. Too bad it's taken so long.

This was the best show I've seen in this new era of GNR.  Axl sounded fucking great.  Band sounded pretty tight.  Don't Cry, Estranged, You Could Be Mine, Shackler's Revenge some of the better highlights for me.

Awesome show, they really nailed Estranged which is my alltime favorite song.

I really noticed how much Tommy can jam on the bass guitar, his parts really stuck out, especially on the My Generation cover, he tore that up.

It was def noticeable that some of the CD stuff, especially Shacklers fell flat on the crowd. My 1 buddy had the perfect quote for that songs after it was over, he goes idk what that was, but it sure was noisy, haha. Too me thats how i always felt that song sounded.

Highlights for me: Estranged!!, the WTJJ/ITE/MR.B 123 punch, Another brick in the wall solo bleeding into NR, Whole Lotta Rosie, and Nightrain

Only way it woulda been better: To swap out Riff Raff, Shacklers and This I love for TWAT, IRS, and Used to Love her

another cool thing, I brought one of my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teachers who is in town from Japan and never saw GNR before, and my Judo coach who is from Russia(lives in Chi now) and never been to a concert before....they were both in heaven

1st Guns show.  I was about 15 rows back on the floor dead center.  The mix was excellent, the band was tight all night.  It was nice looking back and seeing most all the seats on both levels full.  I think Axl at one point said "there is a lot of people here...that's good."

My fav Axl quip of the night was toward the end of the show something technical happened and he busted out the Eddie Murphy line from 48 Hours, "let's see what we can fuck with next".  His truck stop story was funny too.  He was obviously in a great mood and sang his ass off.

And Richard Fortus is a beast.  His overall playing is through the roof.

what the hell??

November Rain [Guns N' Roses] Live Chicago Nov. 15,2011[HD]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUzVvGI70Mw


::edit:: also check his other videos !!! we have a winner

This was by far the best show I've seen in years, bar none. AXl's voice was the strongest it's been since '92, no doubt about it. Seeing this band play in the same arena in '92, '02, '06, and now 2011, I can honestly say the actual musicianship and overall show was the best I've seen G'N'R play. This is saying alot coming from me as the "old/original" band is what I grew up with and has always been my favorite.

My son's (13) first concert was last night and it will be one he'll never forget. Driving home at 3am and the kid would not shut up, he was so pumped that they played his favorite song (Shackler's), what an experience. It didn't hurt that we were 6th row just to the left of Bumble, that' for sure.

Thinking of another Vegas trip for New Year's, I know it will be worth it if I can pull it off...GUNS N F'n ROSES baby!!!!

 :beer:  :yes:

Sat right next to the stage, sixth row. Axl sounded perfect from start to finish, and DJ stood out as an incredible showman who really knows how to work a crowd. The crowd reacted MUCH better to the newer material this time around, especially Better.

The entire show was perfect, and dare I say, DVD/Blu-Ray worthy. 3 hours of non-stop rock. Glad to see both the Chicago Tribune and SunTimes recognized this, both gave glowing reviews.

For those who have tickets to the rest of the shows...Get ready!  : ok:

one of the best show's i have ever been to! i also hit that Tommy in store at 4. Tommy is a mega mega cool guy, and was drinking whiskey when he was there. I was right upfront for tommy's set. afterwords i talked to his wife for a bit who is mega mega cool as well.

rumour is, it's Frank's child

Show was awesome.

I posted some notes and pics in this thread at gnrevolution:

http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=11238&p=6

It's worth nothing that the two big Chicago papers have not been the kindest to Axl, the new band, or Chinese Democracy over the years.  It's quite an accomplishment and a testament to the band that both of them gave good reviews.

Agreed.  Aside from the late starts, which should be expected, there is seriously nothing to criticize about a three hour show with the kind of energy and talent that Axl and the band put forth last night.

I can't wait to see what kind of album they put together in 2012.

the whole band on fire

i have never really paid this song much attention but that sounded pretty cool  8)

Holy Shit,
Chicago show was fucking mind blowing. They owned the stage and Axl was singing in key all night. I haven't seen Axl this loose and bluesy since the Ritz shows. The band was red hot. In all the new incarnations, I have never seen Gnr so tight, comfortable, and spot on. They are gelling and in sync at an unprecedented level. They were friends having a good time playing rock n roll. The mainstream rock world needs to see this shit. Axl is confident and smiling; he seems to have back his swagger and funky jive. He is hitting his high notes and low notes effortlessly and singing with all the rasp and screech, beautiful. Just fucking beautiful. His dancing and moves are natural and organic, you can tell he feels it again and finally has the band he's desired since the others quit.
I can't wait to hear new music from this current line up. The current chemistry they have right now would be explosive in the studio.
Axl makes all other bands and singers seem soulless, stiff, plain, mediocre, and boring. Once I get a dose of Gnr it is hard to go back to listening to my other favorite bands. They just leave me wanting.

Seriously, has he ever sounded better? Has there ever been a hard rock singer with more soul than Axl? Axl needs to codify this rock perfection. He is in a position to silence all critics, haters, and skeptics. He could release some HD footage/DVDs and a hit rock single and steam roll over all the mediocre rock in the last 20 years.

WOW fantastic show! im totally blown away!! Axl has his Mojo and + some!! He killed it from start to finish !! the band is on fire

all awesome!

That was Beta's boy or nephew or something. Either way it's a part of the Beta clan.

But...I am looking for the rest of us that were hanging around after everything. We ended up with a cool suprise & I'd like to get some pictures I took of that off to y'all. This would have been after the aftershow.

Sure hate to whine after the epic KC show, but sure wish we'd got some Shackler's.  Oh well, maybe next time....come on next time, hurry the hell up!

Here are some pics i got last night  :smoking:

I REEALy like this picture

I'm still asleep, but here are a few random thoughts:

The little kid was with Fernando all night (before and after the show). He sat on some of the equipment on the left side of the stage where Del and Fernando were standing.

Fantastic show. I had a lovely time, singing off-key and forgetting lyrics. Hopefully, no one in my area was bootlegging, because hearing my backing vocals would be absolutely mortifying.  :P

Met a number of people from the various GN'R boards . . . including Jarmo. Say it with me: Yarrr-mo.

Went to the Tommy Stinson show @ Reckless Records before the GN'R gig. Got my pic taken w/ Tommy. And he signed a ChinDem CD cover for me. His gig, btw, went something like this: It's a Drag, Seize the Moment, Match Made in Hell, Destroy Me, Don't Deserve You, Meant to Be, Never Aim to Please.

That's cool...so that's how you say it. ;)

That's cool! Yea, how did you get to meet Jarmo? I was hoping to, but never got the chance...

Thanks man !! it was one of my favs of the bunch! im too much of a fan to try and make professional bootlegs!! and photos  ;D  i just let the iPhone do its job and tried to contain myself as much as possible!! but it was a blast!! my legs were exhausted !! but id do it all again tomorrow !! GnFnRs!!!  :beer:

Met him backstage at the After Show party.

If you have any after show party pictures, share them.

I only took two pics backstage: One was of the comfy leather chair + ottoman I wanted to steal; and the other was of the big tv I wanted to steal.

Axl's voice is brutal on this song  :o

I still have to uploaded Axl's story/rant about the lady at the store that leads into full video of Rosie and I have Pardise City still to up load!!!   :peace:

Oh y'know - just kickin' it with Axl on the ol' tour bus after the show at 4:30 in the Morning.

That's fuckin cool ! you're one lucky man.

Hey, I saw you at the after show party. You were the guy who was sitting on the table, trying to duck out of the way when they were taking pics with Jarmo, yes?

Again Very happy for you Redman!!
amyl

Congrats Mr Redman! I can't see you though on my computer screen.

My guess: Patience

Interview with WWE wrestler CM Punk. Toward the last 5 minutes or so he talks a little of being back stage at this show. Nothing incredible but says Axl was great and praises him for running around for 3 hours.

That show was stellar.  Only complaint is Axl's voice wasn't loud enough.  It was hard to hear him over the music most of the time, and a few times he spoke to the crowd with no music I couldn't really understand what he was saying.

Other than that, awesome show.  It was totally worth the wait, the drive up from Louisville, and all the F#*king Chicago traffic. :hihi:

Would've loved to meet Axl, but wasn't in the right place/right time.

No  :-\
