Hamilton Concert Discussion

About Dizzy Reed:

He's doing a lot of backing vocals too, so that may explain why he's quieter onstage than 2006

And i love his piano solo

That's weird security is so rough, were you in the pit close to the stage?

I've heard many times that this place's security is pretty lax.

thanks jarmo for the updates. and thanks everyone for the reviews

the hardcore fans Axl mentioned must be you from fan forums.

[Neemo]

was a great gig

and really cool to meet

Jarmo, AxlsMainMan & KeVoRkIaN 

there was a bit of body surfing mostly by the same couple guys, but yeah it shocked me to actually see them come into the crowd...saw a couple people get booted

[Axlfanatic]

Awesome. I mean Awesome show last nite guys. waited in  line since about 2pm &I was the first 1 into the arena & picked a perfect spot on the rail just off to the side of the stage.  The first thing that struck me is how good Axl looks & How fit he is.  The man has more energy than a 2 year- old on crack! 

GnR has definately taken things to a whole new level. Axl's voice was so powerful & the band was so tight .  I sweaR IT BROUGHT TEARS to my eyes! Axl is really enjoying himself & seeems to have really good chemistry with the band. I like that they keep making small changes in the Setlist. Axl & Tommy would always discuss what was next.

I'm soo, so Glad they played TWAT!!  definitley the highlite of the night. we had been screaming  for it all nite & I swear to god it worked.  Axl sung it so powerfully, it made the hair stand up on the back of my next several times.  I just couldn't contain my self at that point, the xperience was simply surreal!

Of course all guitarists shredded all night long & DJ fit in seammessly.   Loved the James bond solo!  Awesome.

I'm also really glaAD i GOT TO HEAR SCRAPED, SHACKLERS, TWAT, TIL but I am dissapointed no IRS, Out to Get Me & Catcher, but I think that's abit tough for AXl to sing. Those were small dissapointments. The show really was note for note perfect & the stage setup was immense. the pyro display was insane!! they tore through the setlist which flowed nicely
 

I got  DJ's Pick & Frank's drummstick whch was shredded from him pounding those drums, but i't my first time getting one & it's definitely going on a rock room wall!!

Guy's if your thinking about traveling, flying, driving u must see a GnR show ASAP!!   CU in London tonite

Just woke up and decided to write about last night while watching the NFC championship game on DVR....


Not much going on as far as a preparty, but I did get to meet Lord Razz!!

Got into the venue just before Danko came on, and in Copps row 3 means row 1 Right behind the player benches!!

DJ and Frank both walked right in front of me!! DJ waved, and Frank pumped the shit out of me!! "ARE YOU FUCKING READY??" he yelled to me!!

Right off the bat you could tell security was gonna be bad... I was surfing the internet before even danko came on and i was told to turn it off... I argued with her for a minute , but figured it wasnt worth it... Then Bach tells everyone to wave their cell phones, and she stilled yelled at everyone!!! RIDICLOUS!!

So GNR comes on @ 10:26 (Dont know how this is a big deal for some people?) And they rocked!I didnt read any update threads or watch any youtube clips from previous shows, and i'm so glad!!! The old songs sounded great,  and what a relief to hear the new songs...

Axl was on form all night and in a great mood, sneaking up on the other guys, pushing them tring to trip them, shaking DJ's guitar during a solo... He put as much effort & energy as he ever has!

DJ -- Welcome to GNR!!This guy can rock it and he can play the crowd so well!! My only concern is, people are gonna think he is trying to be Slash, with the hat & cigarette, but we all know thats his style anyway.. Perfect Fit!

Bubmblefoot-- This is the first time i've seen BF in GNR and he really impressed me... The guy is smooth and can play it all.. Well except the NR outro, but hey he's only human and he had a really good sense of humor about it...

Richard -- What can I say?? This guy could be lead in my band any day... It seems like he's been playing more leads than 06, which I think is a good thing...

Tommy -- This guy does his thing and does it better than anybody... He really holds this band together, during songs, solos, jams, everything

Frank-- BEST...GNR...DRUMMER...EVER.... This fucking guy can play like crazy, but what I love about him is, he doesnt shut the hell up!! During Pretty much every break, he's whaling on the drums getting the crowd pumped!!


Dizzy-- Was all snazzed up in a purple/black suit and did his thing, and played the crowd very well too


The band-- WOW!! These guys sound great, and they were all having a good time... Who says these guys just rehearse and play by the book...

They jammed all night in between songs with frank/tommy leading they way... Broke out into a little pink floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, before NR... Really reminds you of 91-93 GNR...

All in all an amazing night!!

[BFD]

I read the paper said there was about 5,500 there last night, I just think that was a bad guess.  With the lower bowl and floor almost completely full there has to be about 8,500 in attendance.  Good show, nonetheless.  There Was A Time and Rocket Queen were my highlights.

[jarmo]

It was nice meeting a couple of you at the bar before the show and at the venue. Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves!

Wow thanks!

[LordRazZ]

Good to meet you too J-man......it was awesome.

Gonna write up a review of sorts of the whole concert experience. Not really just about the Hamilton show, but what it's like to be a GnR fan on the forums, right next to the stage.

Should be up later on tonight, once I get my son to bed, and drink a pot of coffee after only getting a nap last night before work.

[Hatchepsut]

It seems  the show was wonderful!   
I'll comment more in the afternoon?
Congratulations Guns!!

Pics! Pics! Pics!   

As I mention in my review, don't expect a lot of pics from fans for this show.  You couldn't even be holding a cell phone in your hand without some douchebag security guard flashing a light in your face. 

I understand. Patience.
Very good your narrative and also of all that I have read till here.
Indeed,  are impressive moments.
Thanks for the info.

Wow thanks!

My buddy Dave shot that as I stood beside him...great stuff from a $250 camera that he wasn't even going to bring to the show for fear of getting it taken away.
