worst show in 2006 / just wanna know....ok

[big_machine]

i know the tour was a succes....but can you tell me about the worst show.....

wich one

[EFISH]

Portland, Maine? 

I dont know, only the band can tell us...they were at every show.

[The Legend]

Probably the Portland one where people started arriving and it got cancelled. Oh, and there were mixed reviews on the Jersey show. Wherever it took place, can't remember.

The Jersey show was fine, the band sounded great but the crowd sucked big time.   I guess it was my least fav of the 6 I attended this year but like I said that was entirely due to the lameness of the crowd, not what the band was doing.

I can't imagine anyone on here who is a fan saying a show was bad (one that the band was actually at, that is).

Worst show in what way?

The most hostile crowd? The worst weather? The worst crowd? The band playing badly?



Worcester must've been pretty tough for the band because of the sound issues they had.

Part of the crowd at Donington were doing everything to try to get the band off the stage.

Some of the shows in the UK were played in arenas during the hottest July weather ever.


The band didn't play badly at any of the shows I saw. There were some technical difficulties like keyboards not working (NJ) or Robin's guitar not working (Worcester).

New Jersey probably had the lamest crowd I saw at any of the shows, but the band put on a great show anyway.

didnt affect the performance tho! birmingham (July 25th) was awesome, WELCOME TO THE SAUNA!

[Demon Wolf]

Worst show that the band played... Rock In Rio judging by the bootlegs. Axl's voice was very weak.

Best show... Hello Rock Am Ring!

fuck was it hot at that show we was right at the front standing for that i i still class that as one of the best shows of the European tour as well that i attended

The show i enjoyed the least was Sheffield although i was back by the soundboard which didnt help plus there were sound difficulties, bumble wasnt on form and it was a short set list

No, they played some of the best European shows in July in the UK. But that was an example of "worst weather".



I don't know what the poster is after...

I'm sure he means the bands performance. From what I have seen, Axl seemed kind of weak at Inland Invasion-but still better then most on there best day ever:)

[banachkevin]

how many shows did you see in 2006 jaramo? can you list them for me you lucky bastard, i seen them in edmonton and it kicked ass. and keep up the good work

[JDA]

I would say any show they had to cancell would be the worst of the tour.

That is the CREEPIEST smiley I've ever seen. Ever, ever. You know when you scroll over a smiley and it'll say 'happy', 'confused', 'sad'? Does that one say 'Serial Rapist'?

I already posted this once but it got deleted, so here goes again.

The show that appeared to have the least enthusiastic response - I read forum and press reviews for every show when I'm at work - was the Iowa show. They went on at like 12:40am, which even for GN'R should be unacceptable. 12:05, pushing it but fine. 12:30 is just crossing the line and pissing on it.

But time issues aside, this was right around the time Axl got sick and had to cancel the Milwaukee show, and overall I'd say that show had the greatest proportion of bad reviews to 'good reviews'.

Most shows had great reviews, I don't remember this being one of them.

Also, whoever said Axl seemed weak at Inland Invasion, I was there and I'd disagree, he had an extra big stage to work with and was quite possessed/on fire that night...but out of the 4 L.A. area shows it was definately the 'weakest'...the place was well more than half empty by the time they came out for an encore and the chatter I heard from other people at the show was not positive. L.A. people are spoiled and they didn't appreciate the 100 minute wait or the solos. The December shows were a different story. If I had to guess, people are more into the solos when its 'earlier' and they haven't been kept waiting all night.

But yeah, my vote is with Iowa.

Worst show that the band played... Rock In Rio judging by the bootlegs. Axl's voice was very weak.

The problem with the bootleg was in the broadcast not with the band, I am sure people at the show would beg to differ.  Once the sound issue gets fixed during YCBM they sound great. 

Donington was mentioned a few times.  I wasn't there personally but I have watched some footage and the crowd was horrific.  But again this is not really the band'a fault.

Honestly, like I said I saw 6 shows this year and each one was better than the next.  In May they sounded great and by MSG they were so pulled together as a band they just about sounded perfect to me.

This section will have to be updated by people who so more than 1 show. Unfortunately, I only got to see one show so I have nothing to compare it to. And Yeah, I would have to say the worst shows are the ones that got cancelled. I would be devastated if the band cancelled my show.

[basktqase]

I only got to see the Cleveland show.  Granted I was sitting all the way in the back of the arena...I didn't have nearly as much fun at that show as when I saw them in Columbus in 2002.  I was at the front in Columbus, but at least everyone was standing in the arena.  In Cleveland, From halfway back from the stage to the back of the arena...everyone who wasn't on the floor pretty much sat through the whole thing.  I love this band and I was even feeling it.  A lot can be attributed to it though.  For starters, I wanted to go punch the sound guy in the face and turn around and apply for a job.  Second, this is when axl would have had strep throat before he had to cancel the show due to illness.  Third, the crowd in Cleveland was not very good.

In my opinion Donington was the "best and worst" of Guns n Roses, the first 30 minutes or so - tons of shit was happening, then It came good at a stroke, and the place rocked.?

(Of course didn't see every show but have seen plenty of bootlegs and the odd streamed show)
