How do we know it's the intro to The General by the way?
they confirmed it on their twitter a few months back
re Monkeychow - not buying it about not practicing/rehearsing
he's been @ rehearsals w/this band before
he could practice & familiarise himself w/his own songs w/o blowing out his voice
he has a remarkably unprofessional attitude but demands that level from his crew
but i would be willing to speculate about anti-depressants as he does offer characteristics like you spoke of plus his bloated appearance. or it could be he's fat cause he's lazy & genuinely did get some bad dope the night of the gig.
but really if tommy hasn't seen him since the australia gigs last yr thats another sad statement of the condition of the band nvrmnd the condition of the frontman
it's a rotten illusion

US ticket sales would be shite even if they had killed it @ RiR like Tokyo 09
you really think joe public gives a toss how GnR performed @ RiR when theyre deciding to buy tix?!
some need a little perspective on the significance of RiR & music festivals
bad performances are, generally, forgotten or ignored after a couple of days
but i think that that debate shouldn't overshadow the flaws evidenced again last nite. i think the debate on the shows impact on the fans/ticket buying public/USA media is moot but the problems of Axl & the band are genuine cause for sadness & stress.

who is the reviewer? & why should i give a shit?
& can't this just be put in the RiR thread??
#2864 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio » 788 weeks ago
i was pleasantly surprised @ the quality of the youtube coverage tbpfh
& generally am whenever i tune in for live footage on there
there's no excuse there for the butthurt fan
truth is the truth hurts

He wears his heart on his sleeve...what are ya gonna do?
i still say its no big deal...they had a bad show...shit happens
i agree mostly w/what u'r saying
only it kinda is a big deal - 'in the grand scheme of things' it is further evidence of the terminal mis-management of the band & the continued lack of professionalism & poor treatment of the fans. it's a Big Deal as it once again highlights the massive problems, errors & paralysis that are at the core of the band since Axl took control.
insecure, bitter & intractable - it is just more of the same which is why it is & isn't a big deal. it's all a big deal but this gig is another sad footnote in the story.

some people just build shit up too much...its only a concert ... this show was never going to change the world or make GnR #1 band again or anything...just a festival show....poor weather conditions and first gig of the tour ... maybe i'm just making excuses i dunno i havent watched it tbh but i cant see getting all worked up over one gig it usually takes a few for them to get rolling
Come on. It's Rock in Rio. Nothing is bigger in the world of GNR. It was the birthplace for Illusions and Democracy. It's like the Soccer World Cup for Guns N' Roses and then they bomb out like England always do and we're all just sitting wondering what the fuck went wrong.
Let me list them (in no order);
Massive monsun rain
No new songs
Axl unprepared with his voice
Axl out of tune
Axl forgetting lyrics
Short set list
Live band arguingOnly thing that went well was Estranged.
let me list what went wrong:
Axl being a lazy selfish prick
if he takes a proper control of the ship, & runs it in a professional manner none of this disappointment or excuses ensue.
the hypocrisy of this is what galls me the most. the guy says he took the name to rescue it from a bunch of junkies but really he is the most unprofessional of the lot!
as for russ thinking it was inexcusable - it is/was, but... there's been plenty of Axl's behaviour inexcusable in the past but we move on p quickly after the disappointment.

Dude, you know I'm usually Captain Positive but I'm telling you I was flat out embarrassed from November Rain on. Was going to have people over for drinking/watching in the middle of the night and SOOOOOO glad I didn't.
Imagine that, trying to speak highly of Axl and his band. Talking about shows like Tokyo 2009 and shit, and then this......thing...comes. It's like a galaxy between the two shows..
this is the way it is with GnR
don't see what there is to be shocked or surprised about, or really even at this stage disappointed
sometimes they're shite
sometimes they're the shit
most nights it's inbetween song-to-song
the alarmist rhetoric emanating from this show i am finding it hard to wrap my head around. from what i can tell we've all been here before @ various stages. the difference now is that we are all here @ the same time thanks to youtube..
#2868 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio » 788 weeks ago
I think they made a mistake by not doing a show before this one.
this is the most likely solution to the problem
i would be surprised if things went truly tits-up on the back of this Rio gig/disaster
there have been loads of other 'disastrous' gigs in the life of Axl Rose but he always comes round for more & will find his form eventually
there have been real ruinous disastrous GnR shows before. this just seems like a(nother) bad day at the office
just another missed opportunity
#2869 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio » 788 weeks ago
did the new season of Dexter premiere last night?
maybe Axl was pissy he missed it cause he had to stand out in the rain in Rio for 2hours..
#2870 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio » 788 weeks ago
is there a HD vid up for d/l anywhere?
