Graspop,Belgium - 24/06

[Lukin]

In Dublin and London the shows started on time because they had to end at a certain hour, maybe festival promotors should write something like this in the contracts when they book GN'R.

Or maybe people should realize that this has been happening for over 20 years and its going to continue.

W?rd. But still, I like to read when people bitch and moan. That?s part of the fun about forums.

It's just strange that he plays some shows on time and others 1.5 hours late...

I'm going next week to the dutch show, but i'm on a festival before that, and i really want to see Robert Plant but if GnR starts on time, i'll miss a part...

[pollyblue]

yes you should see robert plant. i saw him earlier this year in brussels it was the best concert of the year so far (better than gn'r yesterday)

[mattkipper]

Hey brownstone, when will the dvd be torrented of this show?

[noGnoG]

I also attended the show, it was absolutely great. Axl's voice was terrific, no sign of 2002 at all. Raspy and great! Too bad they started late, but I think Soulfly (on a sidenote: what a horrible noise is this, and every 5 minutes the same: un, dos tres ) ending late and the rain were the main reasons for this, so no offense to Axl. Off course a lot of people in the crowd were not able to see this, but then again: it was a metal festival and there were a lot of drunks, so... As soon as they start to play, the booing was over. I think most of the things are said, so I leave it. The show is right behind Dublin, Axl was a little less talking. Only thing worth mentioning is, that in Dublin he ran to his tent almost twice a song, yesterday he did it way less often.
My only dissapointment was that there wasn't alonger set, as promissed, but anyway, what we got was great! .
The organisation of this festival was pretty poor. I aslo was at the Dublin gig and you really cannot compare. The Belgians can learn a lot in this. It costed me for example an our to get to the single shitty road leading to the civilized world after the show.

I tried to make some pictures, not to great quality, most are from the videoscreen. One has this nice feather of Finck.

It's sad seeing the lineup without Izzy now.

When it was over I was hanging around in front of the stagem and a guy got a set list...

I saw Chinese Democracy was written on it (including Pyro Flash)..........

To bad they dropped it

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

I saw them 5 times on the UYI tour and I can tell you that when Axl started to intro the band everyone knew the solos were coming and were not happy. Nothing worse than having to endure a Matt drum solo at 2AM!

lol...the storm clouds at the beginning of this thread had me really worried and I could not take the suspense. So I skipped to the last few pages and found out everything was peachy.

A guitar/bass/drum/skin flute/pan pipe/whatever solo in the middle of a concert at any time is lame.

You'd think a dynamic, groundbreaking "genius" such as  Axl could find a smarter way to eat up time onstage while he's backstage sucking oxygen.

But Jarmo, if you notice, the UYI solos where linked between each other or slash played them to link songs for example double talking with Civil War for example... Now the guitar solos have no sence, just everything stop and the guitar player  play the solo and finish... there's no feeling in my opinion. Despite this fact I love that band as well...   

[SWINGTRADER]

I hate guitar solos  that are not intros to songs.   They have to do away with these solos , they are not wanted.  Why does this band like making things difficult.  I think they are against giving the fans 100% satisfaction.   I am sure they have read these message boards  and seen how people keep complaining about the solos and yet they don't give a fuck and keep doing them.  They serve no purpose .   

[jsg2295]

GN'R was great.... Lots of crazy fans out there...

Had a little chat with this guy... I don't think he came for soulfly do you??

I was wondering where dad was after he left mom.

[dodger girl]

are there any videos from this?
