Saw them live a year or two ago. Mix was way too loud, AXL was off stage after every song and Seb Bach's band as support blew them off the stage!

My opinion though only. Other mates loved every second of it. I guess for me the sight of not seeing Slash, Duff, etc on stage with Rose made this feel more like Axl and friends time.

Nice to see them do Rocket Queen though. One of my all time favourite songs.

Hi,
I have to admit that today - if I put G'N'R CD on - I prefer Chinese Democracy to their previous stuff.

I wonder if Frank Ferrer's drum solo was We Will Rock you from start to finish.

 

[mrthrax]

saw them in sydney last time here and they fucking killed,quite a long show too if i remember.

 

[Social Distortion]

Well they always play for atleast two hours, but 3h 37min, that's just ridiculous!

That's longer than most Bruce Springsteen concerts!

 

[AlexStomp]

What do you think the chances of App for destruction line up reuniting? Maybe if Slash's solo album tanks.

 

[Social Distortion]

I have faith that eventually they'll get back again. I just hope it's not too late when they do.

i think the chances are very good,maybe not right now but maybe in 5 or 10 years,everyone in that band is so damn busy and im sure they all want to get there stuff out there,i have a feeling that slash solo album is gonna be huge,just look at the names on his album,kid rock!!!!

 

[AlexStomp]

Slash should have recruited John Bush for a track!

 

[Social Distortion]

slash solo album is gonna be huge,just look at the names on his album,kid rock!!!!

:Smug:

I used to be like that, and I pretty much still am, but the fact is that Axl sings better today than he ever has before. In 2001-2002 his voice was completely shot, but since 2006 he's been awesome.
I do love his voice from the Appetite and Illusion tours, but I find it amazing he's able to sound so good for a man who's almost 50 years old.

I do still "hate" the new band, but I also thought Chinese Democracy was an awesome Axl solo album, so sue me!
