FIRST CONCERT!!!

[RosenGun]

I'm going to my first ever guns n roses concert in july , im a big fan of the classics and loved the old band (slash and co) so  would I be dissapointed by the line up and new songs at the concert???  thanks 

[EFISH]

if you just like the old band.. you might be dissapointed.

but these guys can rock

[WhosGilby?]

You won't be dissapointed

[AxlsMainMan]

Just go with an open mind, and get blown away by a living legend, and one hell of a band line up

[horsey]

you will like it ,  im sure.

[RosenGun]

have the band and songs still got the same kick to them? And can can the new members belt out the classics as good as the older members???

[horsey]

YES

[chinesedemocracy05]

the new band is fantastic, minus the solos (they will dissapoint you.) as for them playing the classics, it is phenomenal. The feeling that all of the stringed instruments have for these songs is incredible. All the guys up front are great, i tried to watch the drums and keyboards but it was boring, the guys up front kick ass, especially Finck. and of course Axl will blow you away. 

[RosenGun]

wicked cant wait!has anyone been to a concert (gnr) recently? how was it?

I dont get why people are saying the solos are boring!

When I saw Gn'R May 12th, I certainly wasn't bored during the solos, nor did anyone around me appear bored...

During Bumblefoot's solo, I still remember looking to my right, and my old man's mouth was hovering above the floor...he was speechless...

I've visited a few other sites looking at reviews , the majority say that the concerts were really good but some say that the guitarists dont get the solos right and arnt up to Slash standard.

They dont do the "Godfather Solo" if that's what you mean...

Personally, I think the new guys are right up there with Slash and can therefore duplicate his solos and parts excellently...

But as I said, just go with an open mind and you cant be disappointed

Why is it everyone is trashing on the solos?? If you watch any of the old guys shows, you will see there were also a lot of solos, some good and some really bad. The new lineup can really fucking jam and the solos prove this is a powerful lineup. The solos are a great idea on Axls part. Each memeber (minus Chris) get to share the spotlight for a few minutes. Robins solos are amazing. (if you dont like them then get over it, thats his style), Bumble's solos is decent but Dont Cry takes it over the top, Richards solo is great as well. Then you throw in the guys jamming to Beautiful come on its a piece of art. Yes the song isnt rock but who gives a shit, it sound excellent, and the lyrics to that song is very powerful.

I hope you enjoy your first Guns show, I had the chance to see them twice in 2002, and was blown away. The shows that Axl and the guys are doing now, are 10 time better than 02. Enjoy yourself go with a open mind, and dont let the select few shouting hate to Axl ruin the show for you. Dont even compare this group, to the others, because this group is way more powerful. I'm sure you can find some debating on that somewhere else on the boads.

You should like it. But if you dont try NOT to throw any bottles of piss at them.

[RosenGun]

Thanks for that! I  can't believe that people would actually shout hate towards Axl , especially when they are paying to see him.... the mind boggles...I'm really looking foward to it now specialy because it's 4 days after my birthday and its a birthday present, it's the best I could ask for!!!

If that's the case, then you'll remember this birthday for as long as you remember

I saw Gn'R @ the Hammerstein Ballroom May 12th, just a week and a half after my birthday, and let me tell you...that birthday will forever top them all

[RosenGun]

Yep, this is going to beone b'day to remember!!It's also my best mates b'day on the ame day as mine and shes coming so role on july 25th!!!
Did ne1 see them at download by the way? what did you think? 

[jazjme]

ah, memories, and what a great show that was , your rock and your dad was fuckng cool!^(axlsmainman)

[cotis]

I hope you have a great time man!

I went to Hammerstein for my first GnR, let alone any concert, ever on May 14th. It was a great time and I'll never forget it. Highlight was when the opening of WTTJ started and Axl's voice hit, it was just amazing.

I didn't get to hear IRS or TWAT, but I hope you get to, great songs as I'm sure you know!
