To be honest I don't really understand what's going on. What's all that mobile stuff? Can't you just download the gig on your computer like you download any other stuff? Never heard of the site either and not sure if I should've.

The site crashed briefly after the post

Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Democracy 3D



by Kevin Wierzbicki

.
By now Guns N' Roses fans are used to waiting. The number of years it took GNR front man Axl Rose to finish 2008's Chinese Democracy, the band's latest, is debatable. What's not debatable is that prior to the release of Chinese Democracy GNR had not put out any new original music for 17-years, since the Use Your Illusion albums. And it boggles the mind to think that Appetite for Democracy is the band's first live concert film in 22-years. The upside is that Appetite for Democracy is so good that fans will probably never have to wait for another concert film; this is the definitive performance right here.

First, and always a question with Guns N' Roses, the line-up. Backing Axl are three stellar guitarists, DJ Ashba, Richard Fortus and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, keyboards player Dizzy Reed, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboards player Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer. Those out front have their rock 'n' roll posturing down pat; the four ax men mug and pout and often join Rose in wildly strutting the stage, never missing a single fiery lick while wielding their guitars like the objects of adoration that they've become. The show opens on a powerful note with "Chinese Democracy" followed by three biggies from Appetite for Destruction, "Welcome to the Jungle," "It's So Easy" and "Mr. Brownstone" before moving into Use Your Illusion II's lengthiest cut, "Estranged." There's no stage patter and there's never a lull in the show as laser lighting, flash pots and three scantily-clad ladies dancing and performing on stripper poles add eye candy to the band's highly-polished sound.

As the film's title indicates with its combination of the album titles Appetite for Destruction and Chinese Democracy, fully half of the 25-song set list comes from those albums. And there are surprises; a take on the lesser-played "Rocket Queen," a cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2," bass man Stinson leading the Axl-less band through the Stooges-like "Motivation" from his Village Gorilla Head solo album, Bumblefoot playing "Objectify" from his solo album and a super hot solo from Ashba leading into "Sweet Child O'Mine." Another highlight, and one that is not given credit in the set list, is a Dizzy Reed piano solo that evolves into a cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter." Another treat is a roaring cover of the Who's "The Seeker" with Rose sounding positively Daltrey-esque.

The show's quieter moments, like during Chinese Democracy's "Catcher in the Rye" and "Street of Dreams," are also stunning. But the most spectacular of the more subdued moments comes during "November Rain" with Rose crooning and playing piano aboard a circular rig that, suspended from the ceiling by cables, "floats" him right out over the audience. "Used to Love Her" and "Patience" from the Lies album are end of show high points bookended by manic takes on "Nightrain" and a 10-minute jam on the show-closing "Paradise City" that comes complete with an enormous confetti explosion and a light show that's the most frenetic of the evening.

The combination of excellent musicianship, mesmerizing rock 'n' roll stage presence and superior film work make this show practically jump right into your lap anyway, but Appetite for Democracy can be viewed in 3D for those with the proper gear. The phrase "worth the wait" hardly does this show justice.

Order the Blu-ray here or the DVD here.

I wonder if the performance being shown on AXS TV will be the heavily truncated (mostly CD tracks being cut) theatrical version or the full show.

[jarmo]

I don't think it's the full show.

It's 2:35 in length. That's including commercial breaks I assume......

RockFuel said the show runs for 2h22min on AXS TV, and there will be about 20 minutes of commercials. So I guess it will be about the same as the theater version which was around 2h15min.

But anyway, just buy the digital release on fantracks.com. The show is awesome. Editing, sound and picture qualiy are great and it's the full show (2h45min.), and if you buy the stream version, you'll get the download version (for free) on July 8!

Finally home and able to watch the concert on my TV vs iPad.  Looks and sounds spectacular. Only downside for me, having gone to 4 Las Vegas shows, is that DJ seems to have had an off night. Other than that, awesome.

I know it's too much to ask, but a Blu-Ray from the June 6, 2014 show would be awesome!! That was the best concert I've attended, ever! At least that I can remember.

Probably been discussed a million times here, but I just bought this from the app. Will this show be like some videos on youtube where you just need 3D glasses to view it in 3D, or still has to be the 3D capable tv? Sorry if this has been asked time and time again.

If you bought the Blu-ray, you will get the 2D plus the 3D version on the same disc. Which means you can watch it on a regular TV. The DVD will be 2D only.

The ones longing for an audio only version, did you buy the digital movie + soundtrack version on fantracks?

I purchased this version but it's only for streaming. I attempted to stream the audio during a recent flight with no success. As such, I'd prefer something I could download and add to my iPod and play whenever and wherever I am. When I'm home, I can play the Blu-Ray through my stereo.

BTW, is it my imagination or did Ron play a much larger role in 2014 than in 2012? It seems to me that DJ played a bigger role then vs. the 2014 residency.

Still awesome to have. My Blu-Ray has shipped from Amazon. It's scheduled to be delivered on 7/1. I will be away on business returning Thurs late. It'll be something to look forward to while I'm away.

[jarmo]

I assume it's streaming only for now since it's not out on other formats yet.

But once you can buy a physical copy of it, I assume you'll be able to download the movie and audio if you bought the movie and soundtrack....

It says on the site:  Get Digital Download version FREE on 7/8 and also: Note: Soundtrack only playable via mobile app
