Re: Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio
no offense intended but this is the kind of fan attitude that allows the band to continuously underachieve and desecrate the legacy of one of the greatest bands of all time.
Maybe I am wrong for expecting more out of an all time great.
i guess maybe you are...and i think i said that in my post that maybe my expectations arent as high as everyone else's...like i said try watching it when you are awake and not at 2:00am expecting 2 or 3 new tracks and 5 other tracks that they never played live before
i did say that it wasnt the greatest show ever....pretty obvious with, messes up on a couple guitar solos, vocal miscues, axl sounding winded at times, missing lyrics and shit...but it wasnt a complete disaster either. there were some definate high points..what songs did he miss lyrics on? TIL, NR, Patience...anythign else? Jungle solo got messed up due to technical difficulties 
timing at hte end of LALD screwed, winded on a few songs (better ycbm being the bad ones) did i miss anything else armchair tour managers? but its not like the whole song was fucked and usually the bad parts happened right at the end of the songs, up til the miscues everythign seems to be going pretty good imo...as the show wears on though each flub pisses off axl more, but the crowd is so into it that Axl gest into the songs again by the end...watch axl at the start of PC then at the end....he is PISSED at the beginning, then rocking out at the end...whatever it happened its over and they finished the show...some of you were close to predicting a Riot when you saw a damn puddle on the stage before the show even started
fine you want me to be "objective" the show sucked this is the end of NuGnR....Axl is gonna go crawling back to slash after this fiasco of epic proportions...the tour is finished i dont see him recovering after this joke of a show .... blah blah blah ... thats whats considered to be "objective" right?
fact is here it was the first show, axls voice will get stronger as they go on, they will tour the USA and some of you that are nay sayers now will be creaming your pants when they stop in your town sayign how great they were
also your mad cuz i kicked your ass in fantasy football

Axl sounded like he was playing the wrong chords on the piano during the bits that he forgot the words in NR. He also fucked up the whistle intro to Patience, a melody that has been burned into the psyche of rock music fans everywhere, so that's another big fuck up in my eyes. Oh, and he also fudged lines in Chinese Democracy, the opening song!
I know you think we're being judgmental Neemo, but we all want Axl to succeed, that's why we're so critical of him.
I also think that watching it in bits and pieces on youtube, you can't gauge of how overall it felt to be a bad experience when I watched it all together live. It started at 4:30pm here in Australia, so I wasn't half asleep, I was fully alert, and it sounded like a mess, for quite a lot.
Even the band, they're usually tight as fuck, but even they sounded sloppy.
Aside from the awesome Estranged, it was just disappointing really.
I really hope for the US fans that this Rio show doesn't set the standard for what you guys and gals are about to get.

It shows humility, and the crowd can have a laugh about it too. Another one he sang is "oh yeah I fucked it up!" lol
then in patience he just says....."man i am getting really fucking mad here"
Followed by: "I got no patience!"
Re: Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio
If a bad rock show gets you THIS riled up, I really hate to think of what happens to you when some really important shit in your lives really hits the fan!
there is very little that is more important than sitting up til 3 or 4 am discussing another GnR 'failure'
i can't believe you missed it!!
roll on the US tour. hope Axl brings the ruckus and/or meltdowns.
Re: Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio
I personally wish they'd focus on studio stuff. Axl could still give so much as a songwriter - even in the instrumentals ala This I Love - and studio wise they could re-take parts where his voice didn't co-operate. I can only hope that this tour is being used to fund new material.
nah mate, the GnR circus is still an entertaining freak show to follow - & passionately (for all the suffering endured)
we'll only ever hear a very very small percentage of studio recordings. even in the eventual posthumous boxsets we'll only ever scratch the surface of what Axl Rose wanted to achieve & what his vision of GnR was.
live it's meant to be a sham, a slick production (reliant on a small batch of songs & variables) but truthfully & thankfully it rarely achieves that consistency. the live show is almost always a naked, true & immediate representation of the beast, again for better & worse.

I wasn't sitting up in late morning hours, it aired in the afternoon here in Australia. And we're on a Guns N' Roses forum discussing our favourite fucking band - Guns N' Roses.
So no need to get all high and mighty about it, like it's below you to be bummed out about our favourite band having a bad gig. If you have that attitude, why come on this board at all?

didnt catch the CD part what did he mess up ... in NR prolly was confused tryign to remember lyrics so the paino playing suffered as well ... that happens to me when i try to sing and play guitar simultaneously...i totally agree that the end of NR was a total writeoff in Patience maybe his lips got dry while whistling thats what it sounded like to me....he was blowing but there was no sound? i dunno ... ok i'll give you the whistling part too then
still for what like 150-180 minutes of concert maybe there is like 10-15 minutes of really bad parts...you guys act like Estranged is the only highlight...i disagree...even most of the the songs that have fucked up parts still have some highlights in them
I know you think we're being judgmental Neemo, but we all want Axl to succeed, that's why we're so critical of him.
somehow this sounds like an excuse for a domestic dispute....its only cuz i love you that i beat you

I dont know if this has been posted but here are a couple of videos of the rehearsal, they intended to play Oh My God, maybe because of the rain they didnt.
