TWAT > Sorry 7 days a week .....and they played twat in Mexico so that is strange...

Have the new guys ever listened to those lyrics??

These shows are so good the set list is really irrelevant but there are so many GNR songs or other covers every fan wants to see over The Seeker. Seems to be universal.

Hahahahaha.  Agreed on 'Sorry'.  Odd choice.

And 'The Seeker', which I do like, is not even a top 15 Who song.

Even one of the reviews Spirit posted says that the crowd was not very much into The Seeker. Hahaha.
That says a lot imo.

I think you might start seeing more shakeups at the venues they're playing two shows, like Chicago, Boston, NJ/NY and LA... you'd have to assume a lot of the same people are gonna make up those crowds. I think they'll get something different both times out. That's up to the band. No complaints at all so far.

I hope you're right!!! I'm going to both Chicago shows and would love to see Yesterdays, Sorry, Slither, Used to Love Her, etc! Especially the first one being on a Friday night, hopefully they'll go a little longer then a midweek show! Either way, so damn excited!

Guns N? Roses: If only all reunions could be this good

That's a great review! I could never have predicted the love they'd be getting!

It's awesome.

The fact people are paying attention to the band again is cool enough.  But they are being shown love, which is all the better.

Thanks, nice find.

I believe that's from Detroit. It's from a set of exclusive Nightrain photos called "Backstage in Detroit".

[gunsnroses85]

Amazing show, as expected!!  My friend and I pulled in the parking lot around 8:45pm.  As we got out of the car we could hear Alice In Chains.  They finished a song and then we heard them say the next was the last song.  There was still a lot of traffic pulling in and lots of people tailgating. 

Pretty sure we talked briefly in the pit after the show had ended. You mentioned to me that the DC shirt I was wearing was sold out by the time you got to the show. Awesome to see that you got a pick and had a great time, Slash threw me one but it bounced off my hand and security gave it to someone else.

Now THAT one is from Landover, MD on Sunday night!

Took some random photos after the show.  Didn't ask anyone.  Do you wear a hat like this?

[crazyfool]

The fact that Slither is on the list is really cool.  And very telling.  Can't wait till it makes an appearance.

Anyone else think Patience sounds too empty, with only acoustic guitars and Slash's Les Paul?

The song sounds dead to me, especially Slash's uninspired solo and the coda, which is my favorite part

I really think they should play it more like the '92 version, with the 12 string guitar and powerful coda

I always felt the song sounded "empty" live, but I much prefer this low-key approach than the full drive solo.

Tried to read this lenghty review. But the guy thought The Godfather Theme was a surprise. And that the CD songs were the moment to go the bathroom... So yeah, fuck that.

A surprise to people who haven't followed the band closely this year I guess. Probably the case with many fans at the shows.

I don't share his opinion on the CD songs, but I understand the stance. Many fans aren't too keen on the new material, and are mostly interested in the old stuff. I suspect them not giving the songs a chance when they first came out, so it lessens the enjoyment in hearing the songs live, they basically don't know the songs. Their loss I guess.

Interesting review. Apart from a very stilted writing style, and clearly not very familiar with the band's past shows, I think probably captures the feeling of many of the ordinary ticket buyers... so, basically the greater preponderance of the audience, the ones who make this an arena show instead of a theater show. His basic theme is that the band, and Slash especially, are the most consistent part of the show. I hate to bring this up but Axl is sounding less like Axl/DC and more like Axl '00-'15, which is a little disappointing knowing now what he's capable of doing on a nightly basis. I specifically agree with his assessment of SCOM... it's been ages since we've had a really good performance of the band's biggest hit, not since the UYI tour. And it's usually one of the songs Axl sings the least passionately. Flame away, if you will, but I know how good that song is, and I know what the great live performances have sounded like. Now it's usually the weakest moment of the show. I know a lot of people here won't agree, but here's a pretty neutral reviewer saying as much. He recognizes that Axl is very up and down... at times the weakest link, and occasionally the supernova from 86-93.

I understand that. This is the average guy who's going to the shows knows very little. Problem is that a reviewer should've know better in my opinion.

I disagree. The 2006/07 performances were highlights to me. Even in 2002, the Madison Square Garden performance was so damn eletrified.
