Seoul Concert Discussion

Shit you know I am just catching up here... they didn't play IF The World. Goddamn. Sweet show but I love ITW, and was hoping it would be played at every show. Cool that TWAT was though. I want all of CDD performed, especially my favorites. This new GNR is just so scary good I feeling greeady and want all the songs I consider gems to be performed by these motherfucking baddasses.

[lostdream]

Seems like another great show!!!

Glad for the people who attended the show, hopefully next summer we'll be the ones updating the board from Europe, or just enjoying the shows... 

Agreed! Never give up hope!!!!

I love that song too though since I am going to both SK shows I hope they play it at one show.

wish they would play don't cry or something cool off of the UYI albums....i don't think we would miss Live and Let Die for something esle. Don't Damn Me or Yesterdays would be cool. Other then that the last 2 setlist have been very cool

I just got home from this show. I will be do a fuller review on my blog tomorrow, but here are a few highlights...

• If anybody saw the white guy who translated outside the express (first 1000 people from each side) queue, that was me
• The opening act got stiffed with a 15 minute set. I was pleased.
• There were some problems with the stage, and they had to screw a few things down just before the show started
• The stage looks fucking sweet though!
• Ashba fucking rocks! Awesome player, and he works the crowd like a superstar. He was obviously being showcased, and he was the first image anybody saw (Pics getting emailed to me tomorrow. Iconic), and the crowd all knew his name. Nobody wanted the other guy with the hat
• Ron's new double-neck is, quite possibly, the sexiest guitar ever made.
• There were sound problems. Opening chops of CD were muted, and Axl's mic was all over the place, as were guitars from time to time.
• Axl apologised for his vocals on Sorry. Musically, it was great, but he seemed to have problems deciding where to sing (the key goes up and down like a whores drawers). People I was with didn't notice anything wrong, but I did. Kudos for trying though. I am sure the problems will be ironed out
• No "This I love". Bummer! I wanted to call the wife and let her hear it, as she was pretty gutted she couldn't come with me. She is desperate to hear that song played live. Hopefully they will come back next year
• Axl and Tommy were deciding the set as they go. At first it was "What should we play", but later they were pointing at the setlist on the ground and asking "This one or this one?"
• No Encore. Paradise City finished seconds before 11:30, so I am guessing they were on a curfew (else they would have worked the encore). The crowd were begging for more. Literally! Cries of "Please Guns N' Roses play some more" were all around me. Despite the lack of encore, there was a lengthy set. The people I went with were surprised at how long a GN'R show lasts!
• I got T-Shirts. I will take pics tomorrow and upload them somewhere.

I will post my full story tomorrow. I had quite the adventure

Ah that seems to make sense.

Until the abrupt end it was sounding like an even better set than the 1st gig - If the curfew thing is correct, i imagine the end of the set would have had a couple more rockers before knockin' (eg irs or maybe even scraped) and then the encore wouldve been TIL, better and PC as before...

here's to 16th! Hopefully a couple more surprises and the return of nightrain! I LOVE that song![/list]

Thanks for that.

Are there images in circulation yet anyone?

[Jude]

thanks for your quick review Lurk! it will be nice to see your photos

[Malcolm]

Thanks for the review...I like the part about Axl and Tommy deciding the setlist as they go...I think on the 2 previous tours they had alot more of a limited setlist and pretty much the same...So it appears they may be changing it up which is awesome...and very glas that YCBM and Rocket Queen are still in...Rock on guys

[bolton]

Great review...also great song list. How many people were there, was arena full?

[novemberparadise23]

I like the Take a Walk on the Wildside cover. I hope they keep throwing out cool cover songs that would be great 

[Mr. Nik™]
