No first 4 episodes leaked this time then?
#492 Re: Guns N' Roses » For the tour - Rules SG would have in place » 525 weeks ago
Does anyone think Axl being seated and kind of out of sight on stage has any effect on timings and song speeds etc?
I only say this because I remember seeing an interview with Queen saying how doing the tribute show without Freddie would be hard because they took a lot of visual cues from him for songs, like a conductor and without him there it would be very strange. Axl is obviously there but not front, centre and he's invisible to Frank. I just wonder if that has any impact? I've never played a musical instrument in my life so it might be conplete nonesense but if Axl has a similar importance to GNR that Freddie did to Queen his immobility might be a factor?

Wonder if he'll still be on the throne for the remaining shows or whether he'll be able to move around?

I know 6 but not sure if I should be pleased about that?!
Coachella is meant to be one of the worlds biggest festivals, I'd expected a lot more big names considering the hype it always gets. GNR look way out of place, take the money and run lads, don't save any special surprises for this crowd, it'll be wasted on 99% of them.

Like anything you get used to a version and then when something is redone to that extent it sounds jarring the first time. I think Slash version is technically better but doesn't quite fit the song as well as Robins, but that's not necessarily a compliment to Robin because I'm not a massive fan of the song to start with. I voted Slash.

Axl is sounding fantastic, must have been really frustrating not being able to move around. Still surreal watching this stuff, cannot wait for them to hit the UK.

^ I agree to a point Monkey but some stuff just isn't any of our business and we don't have a right to know it just because we're fans. I agree there could have been more updates from the band, definitely in the CD era and perhaps even now, although things seem to have majorly improved on that score. However contract details and who's been offered what, to play when, is a private matter between individuals. If it leaks out it's inevitably going to be discussed but the band aren't going to put out a press release detailing Izzys contract offers, nor should they.

The general feel and scope of the promo suggests someone much bigger than TB is behind it. The way this is being handled compared to the last few years is like night and day so far. Long may it continue.

I agree. CD is a better album than either of the UYI albums as they are.. although I think if you took all the best songs from UYI I and UYI II and made a 15 track album, it would be close. Can't deny the power of songs like November Rain and Estranged.
Don't wanna derail the thread too much but that's a big call.
Best of UYIs combined as one album vs CD is a close call? Not even same ball park imo. Best of UYI is far superior. There's not one song on CD better than Estranged, YCBM, NR, CW, Locomotive or DC. Which is a third of an album before CD's strongest tracks even get a look in. I've not even mentioned Coma, DDM, Garden, 14 Years, Breakdown etc.

That's right. Thought there was something tragic there. Loved that song back in the day. Can't name another song of theirs, though I'm sure I've heard at least one more.
I remember the track, I think WWE used it a lot around that time.
So this no mark with an opinion is even less relevant than I thought he was. Not even their 'hit' can be credited to him.
