Rome - Sept 4th Discussion

[Jude]

Moshpit on a GNR gig, never seen that before! That crowd seems very nice, this is how you enjoy a rock concert! Must have been a memorable night! 

[jazjme]

thansk for thje vids and updates as always, that seemed like a greatly insane awesome gig, when the crowed gets em they get the best and all have a great time! Its that simple.And apparently I didnt see 1 bottle on the floor I think that venue ws hell more prepared and smart, so every one had a great time!

[Liquor & Whores]

Intro + "Chinese Democracy"

I was there and that couldn't be further from the truth. Security & everyone working there had no clue on how to do there jobs (atleast in the seating sections), there was people just sitting on the stairs during the show which blocked anyone getting up or down and was a major health & safety issue, security did nothing. There was also people just climbing up and sitting right at the back on the massive beams, they could've died had they fallen. And I haven't even mentioned people lighting up cigarettes while in their seat, I saw atleast one person get their shirt caught on fire due to someones stupidity. Never again will I complain about strict security at an English gig again!

The crowd were great during the show though, although there wasn't really many who new any songs from CD (atleast where I was sitting). Crowd got majorly pissed off waiting for the band (and in that heat you couldn't blame them at all).

I thought The Murderdolls were awful, one of the worst support acts I've seen. If only Seb was there.

GN'R were fantastic though and Axl's voice sounds better than it has in about 20 years.

There u go. The Rome crowd has just shown the Dublin crowd how it should be done. The GNR mosh pit was awesome with DJ half way up some scaffolding. You never know really what to expect with this band. Typical GNR. This leg of the european tour could be the one of the best in GNR history. Two more sell out shows shortly to come as well. Onwards and upwards.

In fairness, the Dublin crowd were great after all the gobshites had left! Sang and danced away! The only real shit was at the beginning

What a way to start my tour...

That was amazing!

GN'R were on fire and the crowd was too.

Something I used to see back home happened. People in the seats were standing up! Not sitting down like they do back home nowadays....

Thank you Rome!


Hello to the fellow board members I saw there. Hope you guys had fun as much as I did.

Great crowd and great GIG !

I've always been under the impression that the crowd can make or brake a show, by this means literally proven !

Rock on Gunners !

Was it a smaller stage? I notice there was no pyro or screen at the start.

[superstarmc]

Awesome vocals from Axl.

[Lou]

Just been watching some of the YouTube vids - Looks like this gig was AWESOME! 

Thanks for posting the updates, pics and videos!

[charl!edontsurf]

The stage changes a little bit with each venue and each new leg of the tour. I would venture most of it has to do with the geometry of the venues. Canada had these weird catwalks out into the audience that were really cool for seeing the guys up close.

Those videos are incredible. They are really clearly shot and the band looks and sounds great.

Man TIL is so awesome in concert. That's one of those songs u hear and go the next day to buy the CD cause u can't stop thinking about or singing it.

love what DJ has done to the solo.

Agree. When he first played it, it was almost exact to the album. But that's the great thing about live music you can put your stamp on it.

Would to get more There Was A Time, the guitar playing in that song is the best ever IMO
