You know…Axl is a wise ass…I’m thinking this is some form of a sick joke.

I like the Absurd chants in the chorus. I was never a big fan of the rio or hob chorus. Thankfully with that BBF leak we pretty much heard what the Slash version will be.

By the way - great, compact show. An easy take. Lot’s of fluff cut out. They don’t need to prove anything with 3 hour marathons at this point.

Very good point.

Great show overall in Boston last night.

This surprised the shit outta me
after the disaster at Hershey Park.

Slash, and rest of the band were on fire last night.
Much improved all the way around.
Better tempos, flawless transitions, and Slash's lead guitar playing was better than he sounded in years.

The new video/light show was on point,
and also a huge improvement over NITL.
Once in got dark the lights and the projectors created these holograph looking 3-D backgrounds that looked amazing.

And of course the performance of the new-ish song "Absurd" was the biggest surprise of the night.

Lets hope the tour continues on this upward projectory.

Yeah, I watched a vid for Jungle in Boston and it was night and day difference between shows. It's not 2006 Axl, but a whole lot better.

Thanks!
At some times, I swear I can hear 3 guitars..

It might be a stretch, but notice that the GNRAIR website has a Medusa like figure, maybe it means the song was in the works for a while?

Edit: nevermind that,  it was launched in 2018
