I think you're missing the point dude. This was the biggest stage in the world with a real opportunity to say "here we are WE ARE GUNS N' ROSES" this could've easily been a relaunch into somehting real for this band. This is the most stable the lineup has ever been since the old band broke up but tonight will in all likelyhood just make people want the renuion even more and for the diehards it's making them question what is even the point of this.
there have been plenty of nights like this these past 10 years. plenty of opportunities to relaunch. RiR is not the be-all & end-all.
i do understand the questioning of his passion, intensity & what it all ultimately means for the future of the band.
what i don't really get is how it's that much different to the faux-pas & mistakes of the past. just because RiR is a slightly bigger gig than usual isn't reason, imo, to suddenly start asking these questions: the problems have long since been there & RiR seems to be just another example, continuation of them, rather than the end-point.

what EXACTLY went wrong that has you people poo-pooing the gig so much? just Axl's poor performance & behaviour? i'd say that that's all typical enough, especially the first show of the year..
The fact Axl seemd bored to death right from the get go almost as though he didn't want to be there is a huge red flag. Rock in Rio means a lot to him he's said so in the past. It's the biggets stage in the world and he comes out liek that. No swagger, no fire, seemingly no confidence. It's almost lie in some way he realized this si't happening. I don't know. I bash on Axl a lot but even I thought the guy would come out on fire tonight and he literally sucked for 95% of the show and what's worse he was gettig all pissy about it yet he didn't seem to care at all about being there. he went through the motions big time.
well mate, that's been axl post-93 so i dunno why it's such a surprise tonight

"the death of axl's GnR"
"wow what a disaster"
"a huge trainwreck"
"i don't know how you recover from this"
again, i didn't see the stream - only Estranged. but fuck me, there have been at least a dozen GnR concerts that have ended (& performed) more miserably this this RiR

it seems like a typical overreaction from disappointed diehards.
things'll probably trundle on @ the same pace they have been for the past 15 yrs. even if the US tour does eventually get canned, unless Azoff does sweep the legal rug from under Axl's feet there's no way a rainy evening in Rio is going to finish the band.

What a strange, strange show.
WHY?! what was so strange about it??
#2876 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio » 788 weeks ago
i didn't watch the stream
can someone provide some details on what's going? axl's pissed?? a rollercoaster gig? let himself down?
can anyone explain the gig & give the setlist? (assuming it's over now)
#2877 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio » 788 weeks ago
fuck my balls
84pp
for one gig
& no new songs
Estranged sounds fucking ace tho!
what a bummer it hasn't been in the sets for the past decade. they kill it & axl is tip-fucking-top & the audience went banana's. that's how you change the setlist up with some awesome old songs.
so, save me wading thru 20+pages of bickering & fun can someone give me a quick synopsis of the show plz? (am still going back thru the thread, it's just hard to gleam info that way..)
#2878 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio » 788 weeks ago

it's shakira guy. the point is to look @ her unblemished. u should just looked up some pics & fapped it
mite do that now...
#2879 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot's Favorite UYI Song » 788 weeks ago
DC is a pretty bad ass tune
this
i also prefer the alt lyrics, but there's no denying the universal nature of the original & the potency of that version. one of the great GnR numbers. & i like what ron has done w/it, esp when he first started playing it & when axl first joined him -since then it's renditions have become symptomatic of the laziness that runs thru this band
another fave bit of this song is the inclusion of the "where's izzy?" placard in the video
#2880 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Nominated for Hall of Fame » 788 weeks ago
gnr was biggest in popularity when gilby was in the band
from the NR video and on (maybe even LALD....he also appears on the tokyo vhs/dvds does he not?
without gilby gnr wouldnt have even toured from 91-93...thats when they blew up
they blew up '88
people were queuing outside their record stores for UYI before anyone knew who gilby was
they coulda got a thousand guys & still toured 91-93
