Nightrain is very f'n Cool.  Nice to have it at a good mix and not wierd like NY, this recording i smore honest about his voice.

the proper person to thank for those videos is Luana @ perfect crime forum

cool, cool, now does she have "better" 

it's a girl from my board!
As far as I know, still no Better, or TWAT, or whatever.

[Steel_Angel]

oh ok. 

[benchiefjr]

One hell of a pic. Love it.
Almost perfect. The only thing missing is his old hair. Like in RIR 3 

people need to quit complaining about his hair...its awesome.  At least he doesn't look like the fuckin predator anymore!  Be happy that he's back and gonna release a CD finally

a bit worrying that he still keeps his fans waiting like that

not only is it disrespectful, it also increases the chance of rioting tenfold

if there are riots in Europe, forget a US tour

Let's hope he left the US girlfriend back home then, because a lot of fans would be VERY pissed off if they knew he doesn't come ON stage because he is back there with a woman or worse, at this hotel, still.

Any reviews from the papers yet?

another bad review .? Spanish hating on Axl big time .? ? Looks like the fans at the show? were not happy

i fear that due to confusing promotion, alot of the europeans coming to the shows will expect to see the old gnr, crazy as that may sound...

One of the things that really pissed me on the promotion for RIR is the photos and tv photage of the old band, even the tv thing for the NY shows, there'll be people feeling sheated for shure at the shows, i guess the promotors just feel they'll sell more tickets that way.

this was posted by nijmegen93 ?ay mygnr. ? I think this post expresses perfectly ?the feelings of the 10,000 fans that

attended the show last night
 

==================================================================================


Come on grow up will ya? I know they usually start late but what the fuck, 2 hours? This was my third Guns show, the first to being with the original band and they didn't even pull that shit on me back then.

I think Axl forgot that has public had matured 13 years as well. I mean, things I didn't care about 13 years ago, like at what time the concert would start, really bothered me last night. 13 years ago my parents would pick me up after the concert at whatever time, now I (and 10000 Spanish dudes) have to go to work the next morning. Wages in Spain are quite low and jobs are hard to find.....I really agreed with the Spanish, it was a disgrace. I feel with us "northern" people, they get away with more shit, but this time I was all on the Spanish site. Wrong country to fuck with! And then to hear some dumb fuck say "we have some small technical problems, since it is the first time the band is playing in Europe", just to find out that they were not even there! (you should have seen the hurry they were in, not that badass I guess....) That's lying against your public! I really saw it as a lack of respect of Axl towards his fans that stuck with his shit for 13 years.

For me personally I was sad that what I thought was going to be "Axl big triumphant return to the stage" turned out to be a very "mixed feeling adventure".

I feel kind of embarrassed saying this but I was kinda angry with myself that most was forgotten (for me, not for a whole lot others) when they came on stage. They played for 2 hours and 20 minutes (longer than both shows I saw in '93), played all new songs (as far as I know) and were in great shape. I thought the sound was quite good, Axl in a good mood (lucky for him he doesn't understand Spanish...) and to be honest, I was very impressed with Richard Fortus. That guy rocks! I mean, I'd like to hear other opinions but Robin.......he feels the notes and pulls the faces.......but it just sounded really bad! Then you have Ron who is a guitargod, does amazing things and makes me want to cry and throw away my guitars 'cause I'll never learn to play like that (I already have problems with the fast part in Sweet Child...) but it's just too much for me, all that speed and high notes all the time, not my style. Richard was the only dude with that kind of bluesy feel to it, technique and feeling, really good! What Chris Pittman does in the band is beyond me. Another complaint (sorry), the setlist, more of the same. On the other hand, this is something I agree with with most forummembers, if you go to a Guns show IN EUROPE, you always get the same songs. Check the Get in the Ring and Skull 'N' Bones tours in '92 and '93, basically every damn show had the same setlist on those individual legs. I really think their American tours are more, lets say "spontaneous" or "original".

So yeah, all in all, a great show but it's very hard for me to admit that (let alone my girlfriend who'd rather kill Mr. W. Axl Rose)

Hope you guys appreciate the honesty,

Base

we honestly is always good.

According to the reviews Richard is the man. Wich is great. If I had to form my dream Rock band right now, he would be on guitar with Slash
Anyway, I totally agree with all of you concerning the 2 Hours late. Let me tell you that in Paris, it will be impossible for Axl to do that.
Don't fuck with French... that is rule number 1 Axl, don't be fool on June 20th.

[justme]

French people are nervous and get angry very fast.

Bullsh*t... If we have to wait we will wait... Or What? Do you think French audiance will start a riot in bercy???

I do remember going at bercy for other Rock shows and people started to be really pissed off by only 9:30 pm, not especially me, but alll around me people were starting to get on nerves.

[anythinggoes]

That's the coolest Style Yet

im going to have to go back through my pictures as i am sure Axl had this Jacket or one like it in the Eighties  Cool Picture though

[Drew]

That's a cool looking jacket.

FREEDOM FRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.lol JK, had to do it!

[Charity Case]

No offense to you Spanish fans, but you need to expect that Axl will take up to 2 hours to start the show following the opening act.  Why would you expect any differently?  I would expect the Spanish reviews to be poor because of the "late" start and not because of the performances.

Also Spaniards, where are the updates?  It's the day after and we have no setlist and no real updates on anything that may have happened or may have been said by Axl.

Ignatius wrote a nice review with some quotes and a setlist. It's here somewhere!
