Thank you for all of your updates and reviews. It is much appreciated.

[babydolls]

cheers for the updates - sounds like our little intruding visitor tried pretty hard to mess things up during the show - cheers for persevering everyone.  GREAT that down on the farm was back in!

Best trivia ever ! Considering the reasons why Portland was cancelled

Thank you for all the reviews

[TOPGUNner]

Sounds like it was a good show. Nice set, with the exception of some songs off of Lies that weren't played, but you guys did get Down on the Farm, and that kicks ass!

One more day until MSG!

[doooodickiebr]

[nesquik]

Nice reviews

Now the MSG show is the next one, the Garden is always special, it's exiting ?

[russtcb]

Thanks to everyone for updating in the face of adversity (Tomorrow's posts).  Sounds like another killer show. I'm glad everyone was in a great mood and everyone that went had a blast!

Everything everyone's said so far is right. They put on a great show...great chemistry and they played for a long time.

Only complaint is the issues with Axl's mic. It was pretty bad from where I was. Couldn't hear him half the time and when you could, if he sang high at all it would get fuzzy and distort his voice. It's a shame too, because form what I could tell his voice was spot on last night.

the show last night was awesome. i got to go as a last minute replacement (i'm still a little-- holy shit, i got to go to the show)... i guess lots of folks weren't going or had to go early because of when and where the show was... but it was a great time. i saw them in 02 in minneapolis and this was twice as good. axl was spot on tho he spent a lot of the inbetween songs talking about how the soundguy was the worst soundguy of the tour or something. he couldn't hear himself at all but he sounded great. it looks like the other folks who went agree it was a great great show (i didn't even realize i missed my favorite appetite song, rocket queen, until this morning-- that's how caught up in all the fun i was)-- what stood out for me was the very end after the bows when everyone was leaving in a heard axl stayed and apologized for the previous night and thanked everyone for coming out. to me anyhow it came off as very sincere and from the heart. so, from me, thanks to you axl for coming out to us.

People also need to realize that arena shows STINK for sound. There are always black holes in arenas for sound. Parts of an arena will sound great, then other parts suck. You want great sound, you need to go to theatres like Hammerstein or the Joint, etc. I've been to over a 100 rock shows, happens to everyone in arenas.

LMAO what happened at the start of this thread?.. why was everyone grossed out?.. really man.. Im in the UK and missed all the shit! 

[Journeyman]

It looks like another great show! Cant wait to MSG!

Congrats to the band for puting up these great shows!

The little reject will just visit every thread until someone bans his sorry ass. He's like a pissed off six-year-old who didn't get the Xmas present he wanted. If he's smart he has a proxy, otherwise an admin could at least forward his IP to his ISP and easily get his net access cut off if they know what they're doing (those clamoring for police involvement haven't been on the net very long).

Like all trolls he'll grow tired when he realizes no one gives a fuck about him other than to laugh at him.

Actually, ive been on the net for 5 or so years now. I know for a fact he can in some sort of trouble for viewing Beastality.

thats actually different from state to state. its not a federal law. for example, there is no law against it at all in the state of washington.


by the way, last nights show sounds cool, but looks a little short. still looking forward to tomorrow nights show, if anyones going send me a PM, im trying to figure out a good place to grab dinner before hand.

  The Fire Marshall's revenge...

[TWAT RULES]

honestly, half the night you could hardly even hear axl......the sound was so fucked up it was pretty disappointing......i know it's not the bands fault, they played their fucking asses off. ?i hear what the people are saying about arena shows having shitty sound, but i was in the same spot all night and bach sounded fucking KILLER!!!!!! ?crisp, clear, loud....i was seriously impressed with bach, that guy went off......then gn'r came out and you could hardly hear axl, and when you could it was really high pitched screetching almost.....it was probably the worst sounding show i've ever seen

[creepingvines]

Hey y'all... long time guest, first time poster... just wanted to give my little review:
Last night's show was fucking awesome.  Axl pretty much said from the beginning that he couldn't hear himself at all, but from where i was, he seemed to be hitting every single note.  The were definitely times when you couldn't hear him well, but when you could he sounded so damn good, even better than anything I've seen on youtube from '06.  The band kicked ass too.  When I left i was thinking about it, and it struck me that all these "new" guys are really seasoned experienced musicians with really different backgrounds, and they all bring a slightly different flavor to the table, which makes  for a really cool, unique sound overall.  I came in hoping they'd "fill in" for the old band well, but in the end I realized that this is a completely different group, and they're awesome!  They really made the songs their own.  And the triple guitar attack really worked for me.  Fink goes out to the battlefield and maniacally sprays machine gunfire everywhere, Fortus is an expert marksman, and Bumblefoot is special forces.  I was really impressed with Axl's behavior as well.  It seems to me that there was a time when he would have gone off on a 10 minute rant about the Portland fire marshalls, or stormed off stage because of the sound problems.  But he really was a perfect gentleman, very professional and gracious.  Anyway, I had a blast and I hope they come back soon!

Last night was a great time and this is my recalling of the evening.

I got to DCU about 11am and was the 1st one there. It was raining hard all day so they let as stay inside to wait till about 2 hours till we could get in. By the time we got in the line for the floor was all the way down the street. And the guy inside looked out and said "HOLY SHIT" So me and my girlfriend get in and run down to the floor and get front and center.

BAZ was fucking great!!! sound like he did back in his Skid Row days. The place was full when he was on stage. And by the time gn'r hit the stage they opened the top of the DCU and look to me to be sold out!! 10.000 give or take. It was a great crowed and everone was have a good time.

Papa Crap...need i say more? all of people got up to get things when they came on. And there was alot of fighting. The singer said "you want to come up here and fight it out? who wants to see a good fight tonight?" Then axl's body guard told the sing not to fucking do. Grabed him and told he something in his ear and then walked back to the drums. He then told them to kiss and make up. The got off around 10:30

GUNS N'ROSES from 10:30pm we waited till 11:40 till they came on. Jungle opened the show...it sounds abit slower then the last time i seen them in NYC. More like the album. Axl could not hear anything for the 1st 4 songs. After Jungle he stop and told the ppl "I'm not going to let my sound guy fuck me!! i'm going to do this with no ears" and in to It's So Easy. Then Brownstone. Both songs sounded ok but abit off because Axl still could not hear him self. And then on brownstone he got feed back and kicked the monitor. Then they played Live and Let Die. Still no monitor for axl but still played witch is great! for the 1st 4 song you could not hear him to good. Then they played a blues jam with Robin. Then it when in to Sweet Child. Now you could hear axl better. But he still had no ears in. KOHD was next sounded great but could not hear Axl at times. At one pont Axl sayed "Hello portland then laught. and no thats not nice." And then thanked the firemen for letting the show go on. YCBM was next and sounded great.  Dizzy then came out and play Angie before going in to The Blues. Sounded Very good. They have that song down very well.  Then they played Better and the place went nuts!! after the song i sceamed "PLAY MORE NEW SONGS!!!" axl then looked at me and sayed "i heared that" and smiled. Then they played a solo and when in to Out Ta Get Me. November Rain was next. Sounded great. But when the pyro went off at the ending solo it started a small fire on stage that no one seen!! afew of the guys next to me got Axl's Bodyguard and he ran up on stage and put it out. He then came back downed and thanked them. Then Tommy asked Axl what you want to do next? DOWN ON THE FARM witch was fucking awsome!!! Axl sounded great!!! after that. Me and the guys next to me sceamed out IRS!!! tommy then looked at axl and asked if he wanted to play it and he said sure! lol it was great. And the rest of the show was great. Madagascar was amazing!!! and axl was having a great time and told the ppl it was a nice night. P-City was rocking and Axl thow the mic out to a guy. Then when they came out to take a bow and said good bye. The guy with the mic was saiding GOOD FUCKING NIGHT GOOD FUCKING NIGHT GUNS N FUCKING ROSES!!! axl then said "can someone pease trun that off lol" 11:40 to 2am. it was great i can't wait to see them next time.

Just woke up from last night. Some impressions:

as stated before there were intermittent sound problems, esp. with axl's mic---but that didnt stop them from putting on one of the most high energy shows ive seen---even more so than the June one!

Particularly hot songs included KOHD, Better, LALD and a VERY tight version of Maddy

Also Robin's new solo with Dizzy and Frank included was the shit! The man is an animal

Frank is clearly living the dream---he refuses to let the energy die down in b/w songs, pounding his bass drum to the "Guns n Roses" beat---perhaps thats why axl called him his motivational speaker

BBF had a bra thrown at him towards the end and he promptly wore it as a hat

Axl asked for a moment of silence for the split of Britney and K-Fed before NR...it was not respected--he also dedicated Nightrain to them

I guess what impressed me the most was that in spite of the sound issues at points, the band still played their hearts out--Axl was really engagin with the audience and they all, judging by the amount of sweat on them, put everything out on the stage.


Cant wait till next summer

[Scarlett]

Oh ya and axl asked for a moment of silence for britney and kfed  hahaha that was hillarious

That was hilarious. He mentioned Brittany and Kevin again later on and chastised us for not being very nice.
