Thanks for the information Jarmo, corrected the initial post.
Have a good one!

Absolutely bucketing it down with rain apparently.....

Indeed...

Feel sorry for people with that rain. Hopefully they'll all make the most of it though. One of the best gigs I've ever seen was in weather so severe people were getting carted off in ambulances, and I was ill for a week after!

 :o Black Hole Sun !!! ...  :peace:

Great performance. Didn't catch what he said before the song. Anyone?

Coma right now.

(Thanks Gypsy for the links)

I'm wondering that too. Surely he said something about Chris prior to playing it?

the only part I heard was Axl saying they were going to try something.  But I missed if he said anything else.


This is the current working links:

Thanks Gypsy, i'm sure Jarmo or someone else there will fill in the blanks later if he mentioned Chris specifically.

GNR's twitter just posted This one's to you Chris, black hole sun live from Slane Castle. I wonder if that was some of what Axl said.

Both Slash and Fortus now playing acoustic guitars on Patience.

I was just gonna say something about that. At previous shows Slash would play an electric on the acoustic channel.

That's the best way of playing that song.

Heard the acoustic Slash solo, beautiful!

There Was a Time!

Here's part of TWAT

https://www.facebook.com/meathchronicle/videos/vb.107690035817/10155350831530818/?type=2&theater

Man Slane is getting a helluva setlist tonight.

PC

Patience

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTlpD9Sdp-I

Axl (and the whole band) sounding great on Estranged!

Only Women Bleed and KOHD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtg1fOTRguI

Black Hole Sun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvGEgoNnXoo

Nice kick-off for this leg of the tour.

Buick Mackane(Big Dumb Sex) would have also a cool tribute so Chris Cornell but, probably inappropriate. :D

What an amazing performance I was moved to tears at one point at the end of Estranged. Powerful, emotional concert

Reviews in the media have all been positive from what I've seen.

But do any media outlets have the setlist. Surely it was great but the world wants to know what actually went down.

Anyone see HTGTH Board Member Chris Misfit there?

Just got back what a fucking show that was!!!

Amazing set list, first for me hearing coma and twat so really chuffed I've uploaded videos

YouTube channel is www.youtube.com/zaksliwka if that doesn't work just search zak Sliwka

I was at the front and just was pretty much mesmerised the entire time. So fucking happy I have more vids
On my mrs phone so will upload them in the morning. I see them again in 2 weeks in London too :D

It doesn't work, only gives some AC/DC and FIFA17.

Just calm down a little and get us those videos when you can :beer:

Did they play any new music?

SET: It?s So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Chinese Democracy, Welcome To The Jungle, Double Talkin? Jive, Better, Estranged, Live And Let Die, Rocket Queen, You Could Be Mine, You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory/New Rose, This I Love, Civil War, Black Hole Sun, Coma, Band Intros, Slash Solo (Godfather)/Sweet Child O' Mine, Out Ta Get Me, Wish You Were Here/Layla/November Rain, Only Women Bleed (instrumental)/Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Nightrain

ENCORE: Jam (Waiting On A Friend)/Patience, There Was A Time, The Seeker, Paradise City


Nice start for the European tour!




/jarmo

 :rofl:

nice tribute to Chris! Axl sound pretty good based on the youtube clips.

Can you tell us what Axl said prior to Black Hole Sun Jarmo? Did he mention Chris specifically?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyCX9pNhBBQ Here's the best video of Black Hole Sun i've seen and we hear more of what Axl says prior.

A new cover song.   Great

Yeah. God forbid someone dies and you pay tribute to them.

Thanks. Still missing something of what he said, tho.

Here's another video of the song (no intro): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQUeX87o82U

I hope TWAT becomes more of a regular

Yeah hopefully someone has the full into of what Axl said.

Very nice gesture and a pretty good rendition once it hit its stride.

Covering a song as a tribute to someone has absolutely nothing to do with the lack of new material, interviews, etc. But since you want to make it fit your agenda, have at it!

He said they were going to try something that they had tried in rehearsals. That's the gist of it. No he didn't mention him as far as I remember.

I think last words he says are "....much better circumstances but is made with love" but u know my english sucks  :hihi:

I've got some videos uploaded now, hotel wifi not the best so takes time to upload
Twat has just been uploaded YouTube.com/zaksliwka along with jungle, it's so easy, chi dem, more to
Follow.

Yesterday was inane, it never stopped raining from when I arrived at 10am right the way through to about 6 ish and it was just constant through out and very heavy, finally started drying up when guns hit the stage at 7:52pm I know that's precise but a guy predicted it and I said 8 ha! Such a great atmosphere, no dickheads really, Irish fans are amazing.

Seeing slash for the first time was unreal, guys on another level. It's just a bit surreal really and when axl introduced Slash for his solo he said 'here's your friend and mine' just so fucking cool. One of my best experiences ever.

More videos to follow www.youtube.com/zaksliwka
Thanks zak.

He said "for Chris" at the end of the song.

Also, the music at the end of the show was by Chris Cornell.
You Know My Name, I think....




/jarmo

Great show  :) the rain didn't spoil it  :)i thought them playing "Black hole Sun" ,was a cool tribute.

Thanks Jarmo for the setlist, we were missing some bits, 4G coverage seemed pretty chaotic over there!

Before BHS, he said they were doing something they only tried the day before the came out.
After BHS, simply "For Chris"

You Know My Name was the Casino Royale 007 theme song by Cornell. Classy all round from Gn'R

Little example from last night of why the world loves the Irish (I'm Scottish)
Slane Castle, in the middle of Slash's solo:

[Irish and a Scottish accents optional while reading this]

Del: Mate, how long'd you have to queue for the beer.
Random Irish bloke: Total nightmare, like. 20mins. I missed bloody Could Be Mine. Its ma bloody favourite, like.
Del: Fk that, I'm not waiting 20 mins.
Random Irish Bloke: 20 mins like, and now I can't find ma bloody friends.
Del: Well if you can't find them I'll buy a pint off you.
Random Irish Bloke. Ah fk it, here, take this one. Cheers!
Del: Cheers!

So, thank you to the random Irish guy, hope you had a great gig

Personally during a gig I've spent a load on and am looking forward to I like to, you know, listen to the music. Rather than wander around, visit the bar and chat. Don't understand why people feel the need to do things like this at all.

So what's left the set to accommodate black hole sun and twat? Can't figure it out.

Very glad they did the tribute. Especially since they covered Soundgarden on TSI.

Nice video of Coma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0YaFmw0HjI

Thanks man. Audio is a bit shotty, but it's the only There Was A Time video I found on YouTube so far:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP_xptn66qg

Hahahaha

Literally by luck at the Dublin airport and come across the guns n roses plane.
Does anyone know who gets that plane? Can't see axl getting it. It leaves at 7 to go to bilbao and my flight is at 19:05 fml

Flight delayed this is the best chance I'll have to meet some of them

Thanks for filling in the gaps of what he said about Chris.

Nothing that i see, if anything it was the longest set song wise they've done to date. The only possible omission was My Michelle.

I recall axl saying they were going to try something (new?) and that they'd only worked on it (?) last week and played it yesterday.  And that he wished they were playing it in entirely different circumstances.  Along those lines.  And yep - the "for chris" at the end.  I took video of the whole song, but dont have any of that talking before/after. Its not great footage, but as I was on Duff's side, I had the nice castle background every time the guys hit the catwalk.

And yep - the James Bond Casino Royale song, You know my Name (Cornell) was played over the PA after the bows when the fireworks started, which was really cool.

It was an amazing gig...something about the air in ireland and the atmosphere of Slane, start of tour etc etc - was just so psyched for this gig!  A LOT of walking and a LOT of rain - but we cared not!  To be honest, although it was a hell of a trek onsite - the organisation re shuttle buses for dublin was pretty good.  Once we got on ours (which was there as soon as we got there (after an hour walk!), we zoomed straight to dublin, no delays.  Well done for 80,000+ imo.

The gig was so good, the band seemed to really enjoy and each were interacting with people in the crowd and everyone vibing off each other.  Thanks Ireland - it fkn rocked!  I've always wanted to go to Slane and it really was something else!

i also saw the GnR plane at the airport - it was right by my gate!  I was poised at the window, then had to board, once down on the tarmac, I was taking a pic (as were a few others) - we literally standing almost right by it - and the ground staff came over, all smiles - saw our gnr shirts etc and gently reminded us our plane was "this way"....  :rofl:

I was devastated to leave I've just looked and the plane eventually departed at 11:15pm to Vitoria (Brazil)
So destination changed..

Saw it also

Vitoria is an airport outside of Bilbao..... :hihi:

Ha! My bad

'Black Hole Sun' sounded amazing for a song they only practiced the day before.

Yesterdays had become a regular at the end of the last leg

Not the full song, but better quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-_PrqKMR1U

some of those crowd shots are crazy! imagine being at the back of that?!

I saw Susan McKagans Instagram My Story. (i think its gone now) of the set list.

The set alternatives included

There Was A Time (which was played)
Perfect Crime
Used To Love Her
Youre Crazy (Fast Version)
and if i remember correctly Catcher In The Rye And Sorry were there also.

Perfect Crime would be cool to see with this lineup. I think it has been in alt setlists since 2006!

Thank you. Im still amazed to see Slash tackling a Buckehtead solo. :)

Black Hole Sun was great, although Axl's higher pitched parts could have been more precise. Slash's solo on TIL was one of the better ones I've heard so far. TWAT was rough, to be nice. Let's hope it stays and they work it out because it's a great song when done well.

Great quality videos from this channel, BTW:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJadeeQKO_Y

Oh, and Mark Lanegan Band..... Yay!  8)



/jarmo

How did he go down? First mention of him at all I've heard!

No idea. I liked his set a lot. :D



/jarmo

Were the crowd into him, or did he get largely ignored?

One of the worst supports I've ever seen. He basically came out said a quick hello, stood at the mic for 40 minutes or whatever it was, said goodbye and walking off. No interaction with the crowd at all and from where I was in the Gold Circle nobody was even paying any attention to him while he was on. Not suitable for a big gig like this if you ask me. More suitable to small club / Theatre.

Haha. That's Mark Lanegan. He sings, that's it.




/jarmo

Yeah, he barely moved. Its a wonder somebody did not run on and check his pulse to see if he was still alive at times. :hihi:

Man I agree with ROSE, last time I went to slane excited to see a support act, they ended being the worst thing about the day! I love lanegan, but good god was I disappointed in him!
Ps belfer, did you enjoy the riser? I was massively disappointed they didn't have a little covered area for us,  being rained on from eleven that morning sure as hell wasn't fun!
But the show guns put on, made it worth the hassle!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDNAxJTB0n4

1 of the short clips I made....what a show! It was  really the best GNR experience ever for me.....

I've got a bunch of clips....my fav is this coma "scream"

Twat vocally is a total disaster  :'( And if it's true that they are rehearsing prostitute...meh...

Where did you hear that they were rehearsing Prostitute?

Thanks. Great to see some 4K videos popin' up. :)

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=68148.msg1450440#msg1450440

Yeah, just saw that. Thought he meant rehearsal for the Slane Castle gig.

It was bizarre to witness I thought he was ill or something. Didn't rate him whatsoever in my opinion. I enjoyed royal blood though. Otherkin were ok but the vocals weren't too clear so I'd like to watch them again.

I can't find a single video of Double Talkin Jive. Anybody?
