oops i meant dublin not belfast, wrong ireland

[DunkinDave]

The band really fucked it up.

What are you talking about?

Axl forgot to sing the second part of the first verse and threw the band off.

He even admits "what a mess" near the end of the song.

[Tomorrows]

That video was really, really cool. UTLH clearly caught the band off guard, but man, seeing Izzy, Axl and the rest was really mad. This tour rocks.

Its funny how Chris Pittman is in the frame of most of that video. He doesnt seem to be doing anything 

[J?]

Amazing video thanks guys!

Hopefully more to come!

So awesome!

The band really fucked it up.

But Axl's voice = ?

 I think its becauses they were pretty much ad libbing the song. I amsure they dont practice it. Btw who ever said axl sounded like shit was just lying. I know some reviewer was claim that some where

[timebomb]

i have not seen then live but the band fuckin rocks so quit bitching

[Chief]

i love it! rock n' roll is all about spontaneity for me...  so i don't care if they messed it up

[anythinggoes]

Its just a reason for the nay sayers to bash this band

They're not gonna change their clouded minds. I suggest people just ignore their posts and go on with the usual thread topic (I'm also referring to other concert threads as well). It seems to me that they just want to piss the people who support what Axl is doing off. A lil' reaction is all they want. That, they shall not be given.

Sometimes spontaneity produces the most interesting parts of a show. That was not a tight performance, to be sure, but it was still fun to watch. And we all know how good this band is on the songs they do rehearse and play more often, just ignore anyone who cannot comprehend so basic a point.

[KIKO2K6]

It  was s fun to watch Izzy there , he is great and AXl voice is perfect .

[Jonx]

Yeah, Looks like Tommy is on the drums for most of the song aswell! Bit of a mess though!

Damn, Axl sounded fucking awesome on that Used To Love Her clip.

As for the bad reviews, most of them have come from people who have a chip on their shoulder about GnR like Mick Wall.  The fan response has been overwhelmingly positive, and the press reviews have been more positive than negative.  The people with an ax to grind with Axl are going to shit on the shows no matter, they have their reviews written before the show even begins.  Other than those individuals, the reviews have ranged from good to excellent

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

video > i love how you watch 4 guitar players around axl. that's one helluva band

[WeHeldTogether]

Here's a video of Izzy playing Used to Love Her with the band, in case anyone hasn't seen it in Appetite for Collection yet.  Uploaded to youtube by yours truly, but someone else hosted the file on sendspace.

[Janabis]

The band may have been a mess on a Used to Love Her, but still that was one of the most entertaining performances I've seen on this tour yet. Axl sounded much better than usual, and I'd much rather see them take a chance and fuck something up instead of rehearsing Appetite for the ten-millionth time. Anyway, I guess this is what happens when you have four lead guitarists playing electric guitar on a little acoustic number  .

[tim_m]

i thought they did it pretty good considering 6 of the people on stage have only played it once before this.

[BurningHills]

Oh please - you can barely tell that they did anything wrong on Used To Love her- sounds fine to me. You people all need to shut the fuck up.

[Alan]

don't worry that won't get mentioned in the news, some twats decided a riot was needed to finish the weekend off and proceded to destroy the fucking place.

trees, tents, vans, toilets all set on fire. the poles supporting the lights were ripped down, riot police came and had to use tear gas, to stop the morons.
