Quebec City, PQ Discussion

[Giantrobott]

So cool to finally hear My Michelle!

Maybe they don't speak as much english in Quebec city as in Montreal lol

Guess that would explain there not being that much chatter during the show.  Oh well. 



Still, another phenomenal setlist!!!
THANKS FOR THE UPDATES JARMO!!! 

[inlikeflynn420]

Every one of these concerts has its own unique moments that make them special. I wish i could've gone to more -- or all!-- of them. This band definitely makes you want to keep coming back! You are a lucky dude, Jarmo! Thanks yet again for the updates. 

[Hatchepsut]

?This I Love?  ? ?Street Of Dreams? ? ?November Rain (Feb Rain here)? . . .  and intro ?Stars Wars ...  Stars Wars!!!  ?   is for this reason and others that you are my favorite band!!
I love you!!   

[BurningHills]

Another awesome looking set - thanks, Jarmo!

Always great to see Whole Lotta Rosie pop up!

[suntorytime]

He chatted quite a lot at the jp shows tho. I bet keen jp fans learnt more English there than students do from alts in their 9yrs of schooldays.    Maybe because being at the launch of the tour he was addressing all the fans in the world not just the crowd for the most part.

Merci beaucoup!

You should get a job with a newspaper writing reviews of these shows.  You already got their 'bitchin about shit just to bitch' schtick down pat. 

Every time I think that I should check out this board because people might be nicer than I remember, I realize that I was right all along. People can't even make constructive feedback without being tarred with the same brush as critics who are being genuinely unfair. I guess some things never change...

constructive or destructive,
i wouldn't urge people who're already doing their best to try even harder.

Bein' on the tail end of a 2 on 1 off n' where rt after w/the size of r show was tough on not just us but the crew w/load in' n' out etc. not taken into consideration by others n' all the bts nonsense across the board 4 months w/all sides. Still w/everyone feelin' like bein' on the wrong end of a beatdown the show went good. (Coulda been a lot worse).

i hope the marathon is not draining him out.

You might, if it's for their own good. Personally, I don't care when he goes on - I wouldn't complain about it because I expect it - but we're not going to get a successful tour in the US if the band gets bad press for going on late and I don't think it should be construed as mean-spirited negativity if someone points that out. It doesn't help anyone to deny the facts of the situation, and those facts are that people are not going to be as patient with idiosyncratic behavior in 2010 as they were in 1992.

reading his tweet, you don't think axl might be well aware of that and already trying hard?

personally i'd rather see some bad press and the band kicking ass like they have been so far than axl/the band being worn out.

management's good tour scheduling would be desirable, perhaps.

[requiem156]

reading his tweet, you don't think axl might be well aware of that and already trying hard?

I don't think he's trying that hard, no. And I don't care - it's Axl. He's been my favorite rock star for more than 20 years, and part of that is because he doesn't care what other people think (not to mention the music), and also because he's sometimes tragically self-destructive and I feel for him. Of course, I'd rather see him kicking ass. I don't see how going on at 11:30 instead of 10 is enough of a problem that he doesn't mind costing promoters money, though. That's not doing anything for their reputation as professionals, no matter how good the show is.

[GypsySoul]

And another tour discussion thread gets ruined by useless whining over and over about shit that the band is obviously well aware of. 

NEWS FLASH:  WHINING ABOUT IT AIN'T GONNA CHANGE SHIT!!!

It is what it is.  It has been and is continuing to be what it is.  Why?  Because it just is. 

What's really fucking hilarious is the one's doing the most whining always include the obligatory "but it doesn't bother me."

i didn't say he'd try anything for the press. for the crowd yes.
obviously i don't know him as well as you do but
in my eyes he cares about fans a lot. i even think he's the most fan loving rock star.

Wow, you just don't get it at all.  Not even remotely close to getting it.

It's unfortunate, but the fact of the matter is that the late starts do affect some people's ability to judge the show for the performances.  Not everyone will be pleased despite the band's best efforts, but to say that some of the backlash from the late starts can't be minimized from going on closer to the 10:15-10:30 p.m. time the band was going on at towards the start of the tour is just plain inaccurate.  To simply dismiss this point by calling it whining is just ridiculous.  The reason why it is even brought up is because the fact of the matter is that it isn't reasonable to expect that most people in attendance are as patient and understanding as those of us on this board and others who are familiar with the band's history.

It sounds like you had a great time.  I hope they hit the States sooner rather than later.  I can't wait to see them.

Actually, the thread was ruined by your semi-literate response to the original comment when a civil discussion stating your opinion would have been completely appropriate. I'm thrilled that the band is playing shows, and I think that the clips sound amazing. I'm worried that he's beating up his voice, but so far, he's been amazingly able to control the level of grit, so whatever. I just want them to do well.

You, on the other hand, can get bent.  

[Jacaranda]

it was a excellant show last night !!!

funny that people in Quebec never heard of canada's own bubbles/ trailer park boys while jimmy page from england is a big fan. 

Wow, you just don't get it at all.  Not even remotely close to getting it.
