[Wooody]

 I JUST CAME BACK FROM THE SHOW, FEAR NOT !! what I heard at graspop may be his best performance of 2006, he nailed all the songs from start to finish, his voice is perfect , I had a smile from ear to ear when he kept on nailing song after song.....BETTER WAS FANTASTIC ! The drummer fucked up a bit but nobody noticed..... Ididnt, Evil Ash told me 

Greatest show ever !

This is why I never see the posts til real late. To many jackasses who speculate and try to ruin the fun for those who want true info. Then get mad and try to tar and feather the band with speculation about what happened.  A big middle finger to those out there who talked smack about Axl and the band while the concert was playing.

show was good, but i've seen them better. axl was hungover, he told us. they drank too much champagne the night before, so now they called it 'vanpain'. but he sounded great! man his voice went over the top during the last singalong line of KOHD "knock-knock-knocking on heaven's doooooooooooor!!!) i loved it!! yeah absolutely great vocals. robin must have been high with his weird outfit. i like ron and richard more, they do better solo's. i missed CD, Maddy and rocket queen. so i think they shortened their set down, just one encore (PC). i went to the middle of the crowd for that song so i could get home faster and the sound was way better over there. man they nailed that song! see y'all in holland next week.

Great show, too bad Axl was late! When the show finally started the crowd was very calm, much calmer then in Dublin where I saw them before (but in Dublin the show started on time and the sun was still shining). We were promised a two and a half hour show but the show only lasted two hours.

Axl said he invented a new drink the night before, a mixture of Vodka and Champagne and he called it "Vampagne. It's pain". He said he had a hangover but let's be honest... who can sing a two hour Guns N' Roses show with a hangover and still sound great?!?

Yeah, the sound quality was really good at this festival. The new songs and solos didn't get the attention or response they deserve. If you think Buckethead was weird, check out Robin Finck, this guy can start his own religion! Check out the pictures of this show when they're online.

Not much more to say right now 'cause I really gotta go to bed again and most things have been posted before. Thank you for reading this. Goodnight!

There where also some negative things in this show.
-To much songs from Appetite. (G N' R have so much other great songs to play live like Civil war,Double talkin' jive,Estranged,Yesterdays,.. to name a few)
-Axl not talking that much with the audience.
-The pauses between several songs.
-To much solo's.
This is only my oppinion and how i feel it. The show was great but only these little things have bothered me.
One of the funniest things of the show was when Axl held his mic low and jumped a little up together with Tommy just to hear to sound of his shoes clapping on the stage.

back from belgium. it was awsome. gnr came 1.5h late.and some people started booing and stuff. but finally they came.
i had a pretty good overview of the people in the front row and they weren't really moving like at rock am ring. although the crowd really loved the show and the band, even in the far back of the venue,which i thought was amazng. they were singing along and were really happy.

the show was really good. axl's voice was phenomenal.i don't know how it's possible to improve that much from 2002 - 2006 just great. he didn't tlak much though. about the votcaine thing i understood that he said "cocaine" after that,maybe i was wrong.

i filmed the show. it was my first time but i think i did a pretty good job. although my battery died durnig november rain. i am missing the last half hour.

unfortunately they only played pc as an encore.

Hello Gunners

What a night yesterday.
Guns N' Roses is back for good...
Axl sounded amazing and looked very fit as well. He was magic.
We had to wait a bit longer ( 1.15min ) but is was fucking great.
They played a 2.15 min show.
A lot of Guns fans were there and we all had the same conclusion :

GUNS N' ROSES is the best band in the world!!!!

Who was there as well?

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

no i will keep it to myself like born to die

of course i'll share it

[Wooody]

back from belgium. it was awsome. gnr came 1.5h late.

Just one hour  , and it was because of the rain mostly, when the rain started they covered the stage with black plastic blankets and then when it ended they took them off

[Lukin]

no i will keep it to myself like born to die

of course i'll share it

Woohoo! Where, when, how? 

[Wooody]

and another thing, they did play two and a half hours, from 11:30 to 2:00..... ?and people complaining about the fuckin pauses is ridiculous, they had to move the fuckin piano.

[jarmo]

People complaining about the solos probably never had to listen to a drum solo during the UYI tour.

totally agree: amazing show! We had to get through several bands with very, VERY bad sound, but when GN'R came on, it was just simply perfect! About the waiting, the rain did hold things up a bit, but all in all, it wasn't that long of a wait. (Soulfly, who played before Guns, actually ended their set like 20 mins or so late, so that also hold it up a bit :-) )

and to clear things in the Axl-cocaine discussion, he definately didn't say 'cocaine', he mentioned a new drink, a mix of vodka & champagne, and they called it 'vampagne' (or 'vodpagne' not really sure now), and he said that the day after (day of the show) he was in 'pain', 'vampain'...

all in all, the best gn'r show (as a band) I've seen so far, after Nijmegen '93 & Belgium '02. now up to Nijmegen next week.... :-D
