After all, before he lends his talents to others' projects, Rose has one of his own to finish, and he says it's getting there. "We're working on thirty-two songs, and twenty-six are nearly done," he says. Of those, thirteen are slated for the final album. Among Rose's favorites are "Better," "There Was a Time" and "The Blues."

yeah yeah yeah.. i wasn't trying to be a smartass.. just saying that ah.. who cares this thread is about the roskilde show not something he said in oslo or in february..

[CheapJon]

nuthin' new from denmark?

[dolphin]

well if they went on about 4pm USA eastern time that'd be 10pm denmark time so I am guessing they are almost done or close to it as it's already 630pm here so 1230am denmark time

[AdZ]

Oy they're done..

[GnR-NOW]

suprising there hasnt been any updates.

[just_one]

this has to be the show with least updates so far for sure

[jaknudsen]

Just got a MMS message from my brother. GnR are done, seems like yet another smooth show, without any surprises. That's all the info i got

[Jude]

Strange, we just had couple updates tonight, i hope this not gonna happen at finland

[Rainbow Warrior]

The people are probably drunk and already listening to something else at the festival. Only a few people actually go home after the Guns concert but I bet at least one board member is sober tomorrow.?

[Minneapolisnewsman]

How was the show, where are the updates??  This was the biggest show on the tour yet???

[mega_music]

This goes to help prove that not everyone going to a Guns show isnt a follower of the boards. This should at least been a good show then without people crying over the same setlist and all the long drawn out solos.

[LittleFly]

A friend on another forum was at this show and these are some things he posted about the show--

show was so damn great

Axl was joking all the time

 what else to tell...

they played the beginning of "Iron Man" and Axl went " I AM IRON MAN" with a really deep voice.

Axl made alot of jokes about sweden and rent a cops lol

in the middle of November Rain Axl said "This is a really long song...those lighters get really fucking hot don't they?"

 Beta was watching the show from the side.

Tommy tripped during Nightrain.

He had some pics, but they were mostly blurry and only of on of the big screens on the side of the stage.

[GnR-NOW]

I've been saying for a while if they want to do a cover, they should do Iron Man, I think it would be awesome.

[Michael]

Holy shit!

What a truly amazing, yet unsurprizing show! Oh, have I waited for this day! Maaaan! And I even managed to film a couple of songs, even though the sound isn't the best. My batteries went dead when they were about to play "Better". (way into the set)

The setlist was almost the same as Oslo, except for Rocket Queen, Mr. Brownstone (i don't recall it was playd...no I wasn't too drunk to remember ), IRS, Madagascar, that wasn't played. They played a little over 2 hrs.

The show started an hour late...no surprize there either, everybody booed because the band was late. But when the chords to "Jungle" began...woaw! Everybody went crazy, and I haven't heard anything like it before. The thing that was bad, was that i couldn't find a better place to film. I was maybe 50 meters or more from the stage.

Well, anywhoo, this is something that will be hard to forget the next few years (or till the next time GNR visits Denmark again!)

I'll get some breakfast, then jump into bed, and then I'll see what I can do about the videos i made...

[jazjme]

Awesome, sounds like you had a fucking Blast!

Back from Roooooooooooooooskilde.


I lost my voice.... My heart years ago. To this fuckin band and that redheaded lead singer.

The show was.... UNFUCKINBELIEVABLY COOL. This band is so smooth, you'll slip on them if you're not careful. Fuck, they rock! Setlists will surface, but for now:

1.   45 minutes late. Few people booed. Young Swedish girl asked me "They very late, yes?" and it dawned on me: To the many "young" people there (13-20 years old) this was a "classic" band. Old timers! *laughs* 

2.  Clouds vaporated and not a cottonball in the sky! Beautiful, beautiful evening.

3.  Jungle hit and the place goes bonkers

4.  Axl is in HIGH spirits, smiling, joking and genuinely thanking the crowd. Magic.

5.  "Oldest festival in the world. 39 years?"... he talked a lot. He was really into this show.

6.  A lot of Swedish police jokes and rent-a-cops. "If I lie down like this.." and he lay down on stage! Didn't hear the rest clearly, but it was HILRARIOUS

7. Fireworks and pyro really BREATHES at a huge, historic venue like Roskilde's Orange stage. Wow.

8.  Many, many, many, many highlights but I'd say.... November Rain really had all 70,000 fuckers misty-eyed. Fuck yeah.

9.  And Axl's voice? I saw them in Budapest and that's already a modern classic, but the SOUND here at Roskilde, was fuckin CRISP and CLEAR and PERFECT and Axl sang to the heavens... EVERYBODY commented his voice around us and afterwards. People were like: "This guy is incredible".



Later, all....

If the band's favorite song of the new album is CD  then this album is going to suck

Stop twisting it. Its their fave song to do live, out of the new songs BEING played.

I did get updates but I fell asleep because of the Oslo decadence on the 28th. The show rocked. My friend went all crazy during Better

[Linuc]

Aaa man, I don't want to go off topic but I want to make one thing clear. I don't think Axl said that CD was the band favourite, I think he said that it was FRANK'S favourite. Sorry if I'm wrong but that's what I heard.

Sounds like another fantastic show. Damn I want them back to Sweden.

[estranged2006]

sounds good..

[babydolls]

cheers rainfox and michael - sounds like another killer show!  gunning from strength to strength again - how was the new drummer doing?  he must be having the time of his life....
winning over a festival crowd must feel pretty sweet.

oh god i feel like buying tickets to the UK tour dates that I'm not already going to....though have already been pronounced as "greedy" by my husband
