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

This was just posted to my facebook page, not by me . Anyone who thinks this shit show won't hit the general public is living in la la land. The genral public Love Axl but the also love to hate Axl. This shit is gold for them so... Comments on youtube on all sorts of GnR RIR '11 videos with people saying they were thinking about getting tickets for the tour but not anymore. 

the fact a video like this is already up on youtube speaks volumes. the worst part in my mind is watching him sulk around on stage kicking at the water like a 6 year old kid having a  temper tantrum. It's so not endearing in any way shape or form from a  guy who's almost 50. At least when he was in his 20's you could use the excuse that he was acting out in his "rebelious youth". Now he's just an old man acting like a  baby.

I'll quietly predict that whenever this US tour ends that'll be the last we hear from Axl for a VERY long time. Just a  prediction and yeah some will say that's  overreacting and it's too early for predictions but the same people will always say it's "too early" to predict anything. They're called predictions so you make them before hand.  the only thing that saves this anymore is new material in the form of an album. New live songs aren't gonna cut it anymore I don't think. It would be cool but it's not what's gonna right the ship. It's like last night was the sailing of the new era ship. Funny thing is the ship has never even really left the dock.  The fans support this band for so many years and hold on to faith that eventually they are gonna get something really great and then last night happens? I don't get it.

If I had my say I'd say screw the US tour and just record an album as a band, as friends(if they are even that). Yes I get the folks in the States want a US tour and quite frankly this may be the last one but I agree with tejastech08 it's time to call it a day. Hole up in the studio record some music, create a body of work not  that of the old band and then maybe down the road tour your songs in smaller venues on your own merrit with a new name. Gee the name "Axl Rose" might work even.  Stop with the Guns N' Roses farce.
