JULY 18TH, Sheffield, England, Hallam fm arena!!!! UK tour stop 1!!!

[dolphin]

Just a thought.................

If there were tech difficulties and Axl said to the crowd that he couldn't hear himself sing...maybe he decided AGAINST doing the new songs because of how they'd come across?

So he stuck with the familiar as he can pull those off?

[Will]

Ok guys, thanks to anythinggoes for the updates! I hope everyone here and at the gig had a good time.

[mikegray]

I realized they were rushing this gig back a few pages

After November Rain, I thought something was going on.

The timings for the UK shows just make no sense to me from doors time right through to curfew - 6:45 doors on Sunday at Manchester - how on earth do you get 2 bands on, and have Guns do 2hrs+ when curfew is 10:30-10:45? Let's say Bach does 7:00-7:30 (which won't happen) and Bullet do 7:45-8:30 - best case is we can get them on at 8:45 (yeah, right) and give them two hours... maybe if they don't have Bach (only Bullet is advertised) then it works?

Judging by tonight's show, the support were late off... why wasn't their set curtailed to get the headliner on earlier?

[jaime]

Tsk, tsk, not a good way to start the UK part of the tour. ?Maybe if they showed up on time......

[axlroses]

I know people want to hear the new songs, but even if they didn't play many new songs it doesn't mean it wasn't a good show.  If the band had a lot of energy, and izzy played the last four or five shows it could still be a great show.

True!!!

Thanks for those who provided the updates your time is appreciated... We have remember that those watching the show, arnt the ones who spend their life on the message boads, so it was probably a exciting and fun show for them. Most of the people at the show probably dont even know Axl has new songs. Also for those who are going to start saying this band needs to be on time, need to realize Guns N Roses have never been on time or if they are then it happens once in a blue moon.

[LaTeRaLuS]

I bet there's gonna be a LOT of new songs during the encore...

haha keep dreaming its the same old repetitive setlist

You should be given an award for being the member who's paid the most attention. 

They just added a new cover to the set a few days ago. And already it's repetitive?

They also cut out most of the new songs from this set and yet it's repetitive?


Your whining is repetitive. 



Thanks for the updates.



/jarmo

oh ok jarmo so the setlist isnt repetitive................unfortunately it is, they play the same bunch of songs and never add new ones, apart from stupid covers which nobody gives a flying fuck about. what the hells wrong with taking a song out, for example...out ta get me and playing civil war

Axl is a smart man. He's not gonna want another 2002 VMA's review if sound was fucked up.

Why do they have to change the setlist, it's a tour right, and with 13 years of no album comming out, what do you expect!

After posting my last post and reading the quoted post, you are so right. ?I am hoping and praying they tour the US. ?I don't care if they play for an hour (well, not really), I just want to see them! ?Thank you to all for your time and energy!

[mongis]

weird setlist... i guess the timing had something to do with it yea...
i have a setlist question though...
in norway show #1 they played every song they have picked out for this tour (twat not considered)...
with CD, the blues, irs, better, madagascar...

have they done that any other shows?

[Chief]

Thanks for the updates everyone!! sounds like another great show to me, i love that they did you gotta move again!!!!!

[mongis]

where did they do you gotta move first time?

[axlroses]

I went to the first new york show and got to see the new songs played, but if they only played the blues and I got to see izzy play 4-5 songs with the band I would have been thrilled. ?To me it the songs they play matter, but how the band sounds and the energy are much more important.

[Mr.Intensity]

Hilarious that they play a cover in a slot where "better" or another new song could have went, but still leave on a bunch of AFD rehash... I feel so bad for all the fans of the new group that got cheated out of seeing 4-5 new tracks.

[anythinggoes]

Ok dont want to start a rumour but ron really did not look happy i dont know why he didnt do his usual solo he seemed to hide away in the dark not his usual jolly self plus durin patience axl put his arms on his shoulders but got no response from him so axl shrugs his shoulders and walks off. For me it was a disapointing show the bootleg is better than greece but i need better mics me thinks ?

[maddog001]

What is the reason that they have these early curfews?

[mikegray]

What is the reason that they have these early curfews?

To minimise disturbance for local residents when the venues empty out, essentially. The fines are imposed by the local councils.

[EFISH]

this was the first shw that i'd say was a real dissapointment. this far into everythiing yet only ?1 new song. and its not good seeing ron not happy..

hmm i wonder what, or if anything happened we dont know about.

thanks anythingoges for updating us.. man im a little bummed, and i really feel bad for the gunners who went to this show and expected the new songs and junk... atleast they got izzy though.

[busngabb]

It is bullshi$ to say that Guns will have a 10 oclock curfew.

My Girlfriends sister went to watch Boyzone and Ronan Keating there and they didn't go off till almost 11.

I would guess GNR will go on at around 9 and play till almost 11.
