Really glad to see Civil War back in the mix... always seems to be a song that nobody dislikes


5 CD songs is great too... they cant play enough of that record!

. True however " Scraped" live does not sound nearly as good as "Sorry" "Better" "Maddy" "TIL" & "ITW" which always sound killer live & really hope "ITW" makes it back in the reg rotation- love it live!

i love all those songs... but they almost never play scraped if ever right?

and i know im gunna get slaughtered for this... but the track Chinese Democracy is the weakest song on the album... i dont know why they open the show with it....

but i guess it means something to Axl

I think Chinese Democracy is the best song to open a gig. It was always one of my favorites highlights, with the pyros...the scream...and Ashba over the drums. Very powerfull song

Funny, cause I think CD is a killer opener!  The beginning music gets me pumped...  As far as set list, it is a winless battle.  When you think of Axl in 1997, would you ever have imagined he would be playing a setlist like last night in 2014???
It is almost a miracle that the band is as good as they are, and how about the crowd???
I wish American crowds were as into it.
In Miami, so many people sit through the show.
I don't know how they can stay in their seat.  The energy axl still brings is incredible.  I wish his voice was as raspy as it was back in the day or in 2010, but it seems as if he chooses when to bellow it out and when to sing, example...end of paradise city when he screams..."hommmmmmmmmmmeeeeeee.. Yeahhh"

Love GNR!  Dying to see Civil on you tube.... Anybody???
Lol

ha yeah obviously its subjective ... like the pyro and stuff.... but not the song lol

I still love the original 'Chinese Democracy' we got at RIR III.  Its a tight, 3 minute rocker.  That's the version I put on playlists.

Sadly, I think the overlong delay and excessive tweaking hurt this particular track on the album track we wound up with.

Says the video is private...

[Ja5oN]

I get Private Video message too.

[D-GenerationX]

Yep.

Someone linked it at MYGNR too.  Same thing.

[Ja5oN]

I found there to be a lot more instagram photos/vids and youtube material quicker from the first two shows.  Everyone must have been busy rocking out last night instead....LOL

[gunsbetterthanever]

I guess they took it down.
It was amazing!  Too bad.

[D-GenerationX]

The crowd looks insane in these clips.  What energy.

The vocals?  Eh.  No worse, but no better either.  This might be what we are looking at going forward.

That Jungle was a decent quality recording.  When I could hear Axl over the crowd, he sounded fine.

People over on the 'other' GnR sites are being pretty negative but that WTTJ video was awesome, let's be honest, if you weren't there, don't you wish you had been?

God I need this band back in the uk ASAP!

And CD is the perfect opener, seen em live 4 times now and when the lights go down and you heard the twang of DJs guitar and then POW! Lights on and there he is! 'Don't really matter!' - awesome!

Where's the surprise there? That's MYGNR year-round regardless.

[JDA]

What's the rumor/link about?

It should be taken with a grain of salt, absolutely.

Often times, that place can be as over the top negative as this place can be all sunshine and rainbows.

The best bet, I've found, is to never fully commit to either position.  Both are pretty unrealistic.

Love seeing the crowd that enthusiastic that far back in the jungle vid. Would have loved to have been there.

Thanks for the updates and notes jarmo!

.  Yeah the way Axl's voice sounds varies a lot- if u r to close it sails over u completely sometimes depending on how high the stage is & often there is a wall of sound created where u can't hear a anything clearly- there is always a "sweet" spot that u gotta trade for being close- YouTube is nearly impossible to determine how he sounds- way to many variables- but I know one thing; in London- the show with Duff- I was up against the barrier with a low stage right in front of Duff when he appeared & AxL's voice was so fuckin powerful & he held notes ridiculously long for over 3 hrs- Incredible! Still gives me goosebumps thinking about Axl's voice ripping me in half! It's nearly impossible tho unless ur there to know what he sounds like unless he is sick or just plain awful that nite- but when he is on & ur in the right spot it's fuckin unreal!
