Awesome show tonight!!!

Quiock comments: Rocket Queen was played, extended version of KOHD, more guitar solos in between songs (4or 5?), DUO w. BAZ again on My Michelle (Hell Yeah!!!) with Axl saying many times during the show how Baz saved his life (no details though), fewer new songs than friday (I can only remember Better, The Blues and CD).  The audience seemed much better or louder  than friday ( at least that what he said). Show ended at 1:15am, as friday. Lenny Kravitz and Fred Durst were in the audience. The sound quality was way much better than friday, not perfect yet but getting close. Axl seemed to have a blast. No rant, maybe  a comment on downloading again (can't remember for sure). Setlist was similar as friday except for RQ and the new songs. Don't think they played out ta get me however (anyone?).

The set list : lol.

[TheGun]

axl has been in the buisness for how many years? and he doesnt have a throat specialist? fuck that.. hes no rookie... thats just bs..... my friend who sings for a band that had a hit record needed to get a throat specialist but he is new... axl isnt new to this game and he isnt blowing out his throat with booze and blow... he knows how to take care and whats on the line with these shows... he is not gonna cancel his fucking 4 shows... he can make it... this is axl rose...not william hung.

his may be back in LA... not in NYC, thus the need for the new one.. on site. otherwise, agreed.

[Poof!]

As far as ?Axl losing his voice goes, well, I'm a singer myself and I sing in the same range as Axl, and if he regained his voice the day after after completely losing it, it was probably only a temporary shock to his vocal chords and mucus collecting around them that was the cause. Once you see a throat specialist (and trust me, they have fucking magic potions these days), they are usually able to help you out, at least short term. The next few shows should then be no problem for him to perform at (hell, they sometimes even give singers cortisone shots to their throats/necks in some cases, it works like a miracle), but after that he should probably look into resting it and then resume warm up excercises on a daily basis.

As far as the picture taking at the shows goes, if it states that cameras aren't allowed at the show, then that's the way it is. You can't really bitch for breaking the rules and then getting caught. They have every right to stop you from taking pictures. I'm not saying I think it's cool not to let fans take pictures, just don't get all pissed off when you get caught while knowing what the deal is.

Remember, these are just "rehersals"anyway. Axl said that tonight. I guess that is somewhat different from a real show.
He said something like "thanks for joining in the insanity that is the chaos of our live rehersals"

I would like to see/hear some intros and other special stuff, like during UYI-tour there was Only Women Bleed, One, Bad Time, Dust In The Wind, Imagine, I Was Only Joking, Mother etc. It would be great to hear new band doing things like that.. like, then I would feel that they really are part of this BAND. Well, ofcourse they are but still.. it would be awesome Or maybe some of the new guys could really sing a song, like Duff sang Attitude and Izzy sang 14 Years and so on. Would be great!

BurningHills,

Make the drive.

he could pick up the phone and call the dude... i dont belive that he will cancell any shows... axl rose can sing... he can sing well.. and he can sing 4 shows..  i think he is just embelishing a bit to get some more applause for his friend baz...

[BurningHills]

Neurosis - thanks for posting that, makes me feel better!

Mao - I'm leaving PA for NYC at about noon, so hopefully all is known by then!

Just got home,

TONIGHT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I arived at the pre party which was a blast at 6:00 and left at 8:00

at 8 the doors were open but the line was wrapped around the entire block, so i start walkin and the camera guy is following me and video taping me, So i made a complete fool of myself the entire time

when i got to the end of the line i decided i should just hang out by the entrance till the stops,

So i go back and i ask the camera guy

"are you guys filming for a DVD?"

and he answered ?yes and asked if i could say in the camera that i give permission for them to use my footage in the
 Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy DVD!!!!!!!

So there will be a DVD but they said it wont be out for a year,

So i'm hangin out and people are tking pictures with me and this guy from Metal-Sludge asks me for my e-mail, for an interview and i'll probably be the "sludge of the month" so check in June for ME

The line didnt stop till 9:25 which was when i went in and after BMFV entire set

I walk up to the front everyone let me through to get really close to the stage, at 10:55 we see some people finnally arrive on the first VIP Mezz on the right,
Lenny Kravitz, and Fred Durst!!!!
11:00 - showtime
Jungle- which i crowd surfed right away,and when they brought me to the side of the stage, i pass
Sabastian Bach, He gave me a huge hand shake and complimented my costume, that guy rules, he was by the right side of the stage the entire show, so i kept crowd surfing

The setlist was pretty much the same, Rcket queen instead of IRS and TWAT, kinda bummed me but axl did every song better, including better, the crowd was great tonight,

I'm to tired to keep typing so i'll stop here for now

[nothingman]

Awesome show tonight!!!

quick review. just got back. it was MUCH better than friday. the band was tighter, the sound was better, axl's voice was better. these guys are starting to oil up. Bumble was much more comfortable tonight. he actually had a stage presence. on friday, he was lost. he really stepped up tonight. robin and richard were both awesome, just awesome. only downer was that irs, maddy, twat, not played. but it was cool to switch around the set a little and add some solos. it was another great night!!!

1,000,0000% agree. It would be cool if the guitarists played a few riffs from some of their favorite/former bands (Bumblefoot: Beatles, KISS; Finck: NIN; Fortus: Stones/Furs) like Slash and Gilby used to do between songs in the UYI days. I think it would be cool as shit to have Stinson play/sing "Attitude" or "New Rose" off TSI.

Yep, he was there, I was stading literally right under him and Kravitz as they were seating next to each other.


By the way, i hated the guitar solos between songs on Friday but tonight these were much better, especially the first one with 2 guys together (Robin and...?)
