How about they play a tribute to there fans by playing a new original song!!

This is not the band that doesn't need to be playing any mor of other people music    Doing any type of tribute when they havnt even given a interview. 

It's not all about Axl.   How about let have it be about the fans some time

[faldor]

Covering a song as a tribute to someone has absolutely nothing to do with the lack of new material, interviews, etc. But since you want to make it fit your agenda, have at it!

Can you tell us what Axl said prior to Black Hole Sun Jarmo? Did he mention Chris specifically?

He said they were going to try something that they had tried in rehearsals. That's the gist of it. No he didn't mention him as far as I remember.

I think last words he says are "....much better circumstances but is made with love" but u know my english sucks

I've got some videos uploaded now, hotel wifi not the best so takes time to upload
Twat has just been uploaded YouTube.com/zaksliwka along with jungle, it's so easy, chi dem, more to
Follow.

Yesterday was inane, it never stopped raining from when I arrived at 10am right the way through to about 6 ish and it was just constant through out and very heavy, finally started drying up when guns hit the stage at 7:52pm I know that's precise but a guy predicted it and I said 8 ha! Such a great atmosphere, no dickheads really, Irish fans are amazing.

Seeing slash for the first time was unreal, guys on another level. It's just a bit surreal really and when axl introduced Slash for his solo he said 'here's your friend and mine' just so fucking cool. One of my best experiences ever.

More videos to follow www.youtube.com/zaksliwka
Thanks zak.

[jarmo]

He said "for Chris" at the end of the song.

Also, the music at the end of the show was by Chris Cornell.
You Know My Name, I think....

[begsy]

Great show  the rain didn't spoil it  :)i thought them playing "Black hole Sun" ,was a cool tribute.

[Will]

Thanks Jarmo for the setlist, we were missing some bits, 4G coverage seemed pretty chaotic over there!

[Delbertz]

/jarmo

Before BHS, he said they were doing something they only tried the day before the came out.
After BHS, simply "For Chris"

You Know My Name was the Casino Royale 007 theme song by Cornell. Classy all round from Gn'R

[Delbertz]

Little example from last night of why the world loves the Irish (I'm Scottish)
Slane Castle, in the middle of Slash's solo:

[Irish and a Scottish accents optional while reading this]

Del: Mate, how long'd you have to queue for the beer.
Random Irish bloke: Total nightmare, like. 20mins. I missed bloody Could Be Mine. Its ma bloody favourite, like.
Del: Fk that, I'm not waiting 20 mins.
Random Irish Bloke: 20 mins like, and now I can't find ma bloody friends.
Del: Well if you can't find them I'll buy a pint off you.
Random Irish Bloke. Ah fk it, here, take this one. Cheers!
Del: Cheers!

So, thank you to the random Irish guy, hope you had a great gig
