[Updates] June 3rd, Olympiastadion, Berlin

[russkwtx]

Wow, Axl does not sound good on Slither at all. Scott was 100% better.
That is just painful to listen to.

Seriously, are you bitching just to bitch?? 
Would you really rather not have Slash n' Duff ever perform the song live again?

No, I am not bitching just to bitch. I am observing that the song sounds terrible.

[russkwtx]

And yes, Slash sounds great.

This show seems to be getting some hugely negative reactions from certain areas.....

What's the view from those that were actually there? Not really interested in taking my opinion from poor quality youtube videos....

I don't know, maybe a little disappointed that nothing spectacular happened.

But that aside everyone surely had a blast. Then having said that it looked like many empty seats.

It was just great, everyone were on the same team

[Dr. Blutarsky]

That is great that they finally played Sliver, nice addition.

I don't think it sounded as bad as some have made it out to be from the clips Ive seen. Perhaps it wasn't perfect but cut them some slack,  it was the 1st time it was played in front of an audience with the current incarnation.

Just came back from the show.
It was an odd one. They skipped You Could Be Mine (when was the last time they didnt play that?), Coma, no Seeker, Black Hole Sun, no My Michelle or OTGM.
 Axl was having monitor problems i think. I could see him do long rants to the monitor guys between songs. This was around Rocket Queen.

Aftern November Rain he said that to his monitors it sounds like he is singing underwater like he would be  in finding nemo.

Nonetheless the show kicked ass. Only a superfan would notice the band was a little rusty. Slash didnt nail the rocket queen solo. The part in Better before the solo was not.perfect but they got through it well. Axl had issues in This I Love and some other songs.
Slither was a dream to witness being a big vr fan and never.had the chance of seeing them.
Before Slither Axl said that theyre gonna try something new even though he sucks tonight (i missed the rest of the speech cause of the cheering near me)

Also Axl said at one point that its good to be back in Berlin and the reason why they only have done a couple german shows lately is that the band has been cockbloked by some promoter for years and they have tried to come here for a long time.

I heard Slither, Wichita Lineman (ilove that song) and Used To Love Her for the first time tonight live. and i had great view from pit1 so no complaints. I just wanna share my thoughts on the show.
After Slither the band was on fire and it was business as usual. Allthough the encore was minimal. Only patience and paradise.

I was a great gig. And im happy tp see them in Tallinn again and hope to see them play Prostitute, Madagascar, TWAT along others.
Today was not the day for those songs. Great show nonetheless

[rebelhipi]

There was some empty seats  in the back. But it was still quite full.
Before heavens door i think Axl said that the crowd is filling up as the show progresses and that maybe the crowd were.thinkin that he is gonna be late.

The show started super early. 19.15 and ended at 21.40. So it was one of the shortest showd in quite some time.

With 70k capacity id say there was 50-60k people there. So alot of people for sure.

Recorded Slither for you guys - https://youtu.be/ktgLKGMbO04

Thank you!!!    Awesome recording!!! 
Hope you and everyone there had a great time!!!

The funny thing is, I think if Duff did the backup vocals in a more Axl-friendly key, it would have made a difference.  Or maybe he should have just let Melissa handle the backup vocals.  How do you think that would have gone over?  Hey Duff, could you keep quiet when we do Slither, you're messing up the song for the rest of us.

I see massive potential w Slither once Axl works all the bugs out  love how he takes it up octaves on the chorus, think once he settles into his it's so easy brownstone CD register on the verses it will really kick ass

Axl should not be encouraging such behavior 
..... Or at the very least, he should say 'please' 


Don't know who to credit for this pic but apparently Axl has a new piano bench.

[Lord Stan]

Yeah, what was with the starting time, did we know that. I had just queued a beer then suddenly it was so easy.

Yeah Some upperbowl sections were empty at the start of the show but filled up nicely as the show progressed. Awesome show!

[Sillything]

So happy with the show! We ended up in Golden circle! I thougt I bought worse tickets so nice surprise. Greeta van Fleet are Magic! Dancing through their set! And Guns killed! Love Love Love! On to Tallin and Gothenburg!

While I do think he could sing this in his Brownstone voice I’d love to hear it being sung with the old Axl rasp but nonetheless I love that he’s putting his own spin to it and I like what he’s doing on the chorus with Duff. Great addition to the setlist.

[Maxi Fisher]

Hard to find decent audio but this one is a little better. I like what Axl is doing with it. Never a big VR fan but slither was the most GnR song I heard from them. Solo rips

I want to say he had that at Sturgis but maybe not.  Cool as fuck when they revved the piano up before Axl played.

I don't think Axl wants anything to do with that.  If Slash is going to take a seat on the stage, Axl's going to be behind it.    All the women in the audience are going to be on their tiptoes making sure there have been no more wardrobe malfunctions, just checking.

Well on the last leg Madagascar, Prostitute were regulars.
Also Dont Cry was played at almost every show with Patience on the last legs.

Shame on them for trying something different 

Slither didn't sound great, but christ... I'd rather hear it than not. It took Axl a few shows to start sounding better on "Black Hole Sun." Once he got in the groove on that one it started sounding better.

Hope they don't just abandon Slither because of a few crybabies or spotty vocals. Work out the kinks and try it again. It was interesting to hear
