That better be a typo. Canadian tour dates instead of US.

Yeah, and he wears some red ones for a few songs.

21.Paradise City (Bach on vocals, No Axl)

I just wrote a big old review, and the my web browser crashed and I lost it. So instead of writing it again, I have summed it up into some simple points. It wasn't the longest set of the tour, and Axl didn't even make it to the end, but just seeing those songs, and Axl screaming at me from so close, was magical.

Highlights were Novemeber Rain with it's 3 amazing solo's, The Blues and It's So Easy. And suprisingly Paradise City with Bach was really interesting wo watch, aswell as the amazing solo from Bumblefoot and the Christina Aguillera adaptation.

Some low quality snaps I took on my phone....

In summary, twas an amazing night!

[Lord Abortion]

Was you gotta move the thing with the maracas?

[Kyle the 2nd]

I think it's a Stones cover, but I don't recall any Maracas being included. It was the first song with Izzy and he just came out and played it on his own basically. It sounded kinda bluesy/old school rock and roll-ish.

[Lord Abortion]

hmm...we must have had something different then.
Sounds pretty much the same as our set apart from the lack of paradise city and we got Chinese Democracy instead of The Blues.

[Kyle the 2nd]

yeah, it's odd that there was no My Michelle at the show I went to, but any mior differences in the sets don't bother me at the end of the day. I would have liked to see them play 'Better' and maybe even 'Chinese Democracy', but I'm more than happy with what I got.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You know you like it.

WHO TOLD YOU

[Dave de Sylvia]

Slash and Matt's all-star covers band doing WLL with 4 Non-Blondes singer Linda Perry. She could relax a little with the Robert Plant-isms (when is that EVER a good technique?), but Slash is absolutely on fire.

[PAJJ]

That was **** hot, i thought Linda Perry's performance was ace, but you're right slash really sounded on fire. They should both of worn their top hats though :)

[guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]

Surprise trip to the Teenage Cancer Trust
Guns n' Roses singer Axl Rose has made a surprise visit to the Teenage Cancer Trust Ward at the University College Hospital in London.

The singer had just completed Guns N' Roses' controversial European tour, culminating with a final date at Wembley Arena a week last Sunday (July 30).

Simon Davies the CEO of the Teenage Cancer Trust Ward said: "We were so touched that Axl wanted to visit the Teenage Cancer Trust ward in London.

"Axl spent time speaking with each of the patients individually asking about their diagnosis and treatment, and what they enjoyed doing when they were not in hospital. Speaking with patients after Axl's visit, I got a real sense of just how excited they were to have met him and how much it lifted their spirits."

The Teenage Cancer Trustis known for its strong links with rock music. Each year The Who singer Roger Daltrey produces a week of shows at the Royal Albert Hall, which this year featured Bloc Party and Razorlight.

[Lord Abortion]

That's pretty cool, good on Axl for doing that.

Hehe, I lend my brother AFD, and he's obsessed by it.

[guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]

nice. afd has to be one of the best debut album of all time. it just has kick *** songs like welcome to jungle, it's so easy, mr brownstone, my michelle, paradice city.

[Kyle]

It's up there with my favorite debuts.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I bought my brother a copy of AFD and he doesn't care. Too busy listening to Neil Young and every band Neil Young has been in. Funny story, he got attacked and beaten up last night so maybe that'll make him a little meaner.

[blue3]

Ouch. I tried making my sister listen to GNR and she just laughed.

[psychedelic_liam]

nicely written bro, good read :)

[G_Mac07]

Heh, I stole my Dad's copy of AFD and kept it for a year or so. When I eventually got around to buying my own copy, I put the original disc in my brothers room and blamed it on him. It was great.

/puts on Anything Goes. Damn I love this song. Those grooving verses are so incredibly badass.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I got all my GNR from the library.

:cool:

[guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]

i had afd in my cd player and i had the volume all the way up. my sister comes in my room and hits play and she get the **** knocked out of her. i belive she knew where she was. shes in ****ing jungle babby your going to die in the jungle.

[Kyle]

I bought the albums in this order;

AFD > UYI2 > GNR Lies > UYI1 > SI > Live Era

Funnily enough that's pretty much the order in which I enjoy the albums the most (excluding Live Era). So I basically listened to the band getting gradually worse from the moment I bought AFD. I only very recently bought Live Era and I really like it, the version of Nightrain on there is so kickass.

[G_Mac07]

I'm not much of a fan of the UYI Albums really. If I put them both together, I could make one album of awesome tracks, and another of what I think is a bit garbage. Oh well, that's just me.

Live Era is awesome though. My mum bought me it a few years ago, and went for a good couple of weeks of just listening to it. No Civil War was always a little disappointing for me though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like the UYI albums alot. Some tracks I never bother with, but theres some awesome stuff on there.

[Kyle]

I like the UYI albums alot. Some tracks I never bother with, but theres some awesome stuff on there.Yeah, pretty much same here. UYI2 is pretty good for the most part, only a few tracks which I might skip.

Whilst it would have been cool to see them create a single UYI album with the best from both albums, I'm glad they got all the material out that they could. Waiting for Chinese Democracy would be all the more tedious with less material to listen to in the meantime.

[Lord Abortion]

Lies era is excellent.

Move to the city, Nice boys and Reckless life are brilliant tracks.

[Crazy and Stupid]

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE PARADISE CITY WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY TAKE ME HOME yeah yeah!!!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Great song.

[Crazy and Stupid]

SHE LOVES YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH SHE LOVES YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH SHE LOVES YOU YEAH YEAH yeah.

Ever hear there cover version of that beatles classic?

[blue3]

They covered that?

[guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]

http://www.vidilife.com/video_play_778053_Guns_N_Roses_I_R_S_Live_Rock_AM_ Ring_2006_.htm irs good sound and better video quality

[Lord Abortion]

That was pretty damn good, I like that song alot.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that's one of the best live versions of that song.

So Axl was on the VMA's last night. Was introducing a band, but didn't really say an awful lot. He did look the part though, and came down and screamed "Do you know where the **** you are?!".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mEfmrpHfxQ

What's more interesting is the interview backstage with Axl, where he insists the album will come out this year;
http://bk5.free.fr/snow/BR_source.html

[Lord Abortion]

:( He really couldn't have introduced a worse band if he had tried...

GNR nub Post, but is IRS on Chinese Democracy? or is it from an album I do not have? IE, The Spaghetti Incident.

[Kyle]

Yeah I know, The Killers suck :(

IRS should be on Chinese Democracy. Or at least, it's unreleased thus far.

[Lord Abortion]

Ah, thought so. Should be a fine one there, love the chorus.

[6stringed]

Yeah, that's one of the best live versions of that song.

[blue3]

Haha, sexy beast. I don't think he was or is.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

better than that daniel john fgt

and how can you not find those UYI dvd shorts hawt srsly

[blue3]

I must be insane!! And everyone loves Daniel Johns.

The 'classic rock' radio station here was playing GNR live songs all night. It was sweet.

[Kyle]

Guys, Axl is, was and always will be a secksy beast.

I wonder if he still has the body to pull off a pair or short shorts?

[Lord Abortion]

Probabaly not... he's about 40 now, right?

I'm going to listen to Lies later...

[Kyle]

Yeah, but it would make a good front cover for Chinese Democracy amirite?

Lies gets better with every listen for me. It's great to hear those early live tracks, and also the rare acoustic sound. There aren't any tracks which are particuarly bad, and it's nice and balanced.

[6stringed]

Front cover..hmm I donno maybe back.
yeah, I hustle Lies from my dad. Its
an awsome album

I have the live dvd for UYI1 and
when Axl where's those red tight shorts
the is splooge stain on them haha

[blue3]

Guys, Axl is, was and always will be a secksy beast.

I wonder if he still has the body to pull off a pair or short shorts?NO

And Axl is 44 now.

[Kyle]

I just found the coolest video ever with Bumblefoot, check it...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y93cRIAj0gk

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've been addicted to It's So Easy lately.

NO
Pfft you want him.

[6stringed]

everyone wants him

[mr hanky]

guns n roses are ****ing awesome, i realy hope this new album gets released someday cos the new songs ive heard so far have been the muts nuts :thumb:

[blue3]

Pfft you want him.Clearly why I'd definitely see him live. I didn't expect my friends to want to come see new GNR but about 8 of us are going. But I highly doubt I can get 8 seats on floor/level one together. I'm gonna be stuck with like, level 4 seats again. Calgary tickets are on sale Saturday.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well, at least you're seeing them :)

[Drone]

How fast do you guys think the Canadian tickets will sell?

[blue3]

Fast. Floor tickets seemed to be non existant when it went on sale. An hour after, some floor tickets came out of no where right after my friend already got the shitty level 2 seats.. I just found out Sebastian Bach is opening for them :) It should still be good. Kind of.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Sebastian Bach played here about a month ago. I didn't go, but a mate of mine did and he said they played 2 and a half songs then walked off because people were throwing stuff at them.

[Kyle]

Bachs band were great when I saw them.

[wilford]

"Guns N' Roses was founded in Los Angeles in June 1985. Their unique style incorporated punk, blues, thrash, and other genres of music into the popular heavy metal music of the time. The band was formed by singer Axl Rose, guitarists Tracii Guns and Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Rob Gardner. The name was derived from the last names of Guns and Rose, and makes reference to members previous bands: Hollywood Rose and LA Guns.
When Tracii Guns and Robbie Gardner could not attend the first Guns N' Roses show in Seattle, Rose called guitarist Slash and drummer Steven Adler, whom he had met recently, and asked if they would join the band on stage for the show, they agreed and creating band's most famous line-up. On the way back to Los Angeles, the five members wrote the lyrics for the song "Welcome to the Jungle", which eventually became their signature song."

"The band released a self-produced EP, Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, in 1986. Copies of the EP reached Geffen Records executives who soon signed the band. Appetite for Destruction, GNR's debut album, was released on August 21, 1987. The album sold twenty million copies and hit #1 on the charts. The album included the songs "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Paradise City", all of which were top ten singles on the Billboard charts. As of 2005, Appetite For Destruction remains the best-selling debut album of all time.
The band began opening shows for major bands in the rock industry, but as Appetite for Destruction's sales began to rise, a world tour in support of the album was scheduled. Guns N' Roses traveled across United States, and in the spring of 1988, they were invited to the notorious Monsters of Rock Festival in Europe. The band shared the stage with groups including Iron Maiden, KISS and Judas Priest. The behavior of the members of GNR was gathering attention from the media. McKagan, Slash and Adler were constantly seen on stage under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Members of the crew at the time even stated that Slash had to be carried on to the stage by a group of people and that he often passed out after the concerts ended. During the Monsters of Rock concert in the UK, two fans were killed when the crowd present at the concert began jumping and surging forward at when the Guns N' Roses' show started. The media blamed the deaths of the fans on the band, although they were unaware of the incident until after the show ended. All these events during the Appetite for Destruction tour earned the group the title of "the most dangerous band in the world."

"The song "Welcome to the Jungle" was included on the soundtrack of the fifth Dirty Harry movie The Dead Pool, which led to a couple of seconds of screen time for the band.
Guns N' Roses' next release was the half-acoustic CD G N' R Lies in 1988, which hit #2 on the music charts. The song "One In A Million", which used the words "******s" and "large bundle of stickss", led to controversy that accused the band (or Axl) of racism and homophobia. Axl denied these allegations, pointing out that he was a fan of homosexual singers like Freddie Mercury and Elton John and that his then lead guitarist was half black."

"In 1989, Guns N' Roses were presented with an American Music Award for favorite Pop/Rock single for "Sweet Child O' Mine". At the televised annual award show in 1989, Duff McKagan and Slash appeared intoxicated and used strong language while accepting the Best Heavy Metal Album award for Appetite For Destruction, and Best Heavy Metal Song award for "Paradise City". Because of the incident, subsequent American Music Award shows have been broadcast using a five second delay."

The behavior of some members of the group lead their music label to demand the band modify their habits. The members took steps to deal with their addictions after Rose threatened to end the band if they continued with their heavy drug abuse. He also spoke up about them during an opening set for the Rolling Stones in 1989 saying that "if some members don't stop dancing with Mr. Brownstone, Guns N' Roses will end." The band's heavy use and abuse of heroin is referenced throughout Appetite for Destruction; the song Mr. Brownstone is about heroin and its effects. (Brownstone is a slang term for heroin.)

"The Use Your Illusion Tour (1991–1993): In 1990 Guns N' Roses returned to the studio to begin recording their most ambitious undertaking yet. During the recording, drummer Steven Adler was unable to perform due to his struggles with his cocaine and heroin addiction. Adler was fired in August 1990, and replaced with the former drummer of The Cult, Matt Sorum. Keyboardist Dizzy Reed joined the band as a full time member. With enough music for a double album, the band instead chose to release Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II as two separate albums on September 17, 1991. The tactic paid off when the albums debuted as #2 and #1 on the Billboard Music charts.
After the release of the albums, Guns N' Roses went on a 28 month long world tour, which was famous for its success and for many controversial incidents along the way. In the summer of 1991, Axl Rose jumped into the audience during a concert in St. Louis, Missouri and hit one of the fans after taking away a video camera, which he was recording the show with. After that, Rose left the stage and the angry crowd began a riot in which dozens of people were injured. Rose was charged with having incited a riot, but the police were unable to arrest him until almost a year later, because the band went overseas to continue the tour. Charges were filed against Rose, but a judge ruled he had not directly incited the riot. During this time, guitarist Izzy Stradlin quit the band due to differences with Rose. He was replaced by Los Angeles based guitarist Gilby Clarke."

"The band also appeared at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert that year, and went on a mini-tour with American heavy metal band Metallica. During a show in August 1992 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, Metallica frontman James Hetfield suffered severe burns after stepping too close to a pyrotechnics machine. Metallica was forced to cancel their part of the show, but asked Rose and Guns N' Roses to continue the concert. After a long delay, Guns N' Roses took the stage. However, Rose claimed he had problems with his voice that night and decided to cancel the band's presentation after just four songs. This led to another riot during a Guns N' Roses concert."

I've gotten Floor tickets for the Halifax, Canada concert.

3 of 'em.

I'm pumped.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Are you playing to triplicate to enhance the experience?

[blue3]

Sebastian Bach played here about a month ago. I didn't go, but a mate of mine did and he said they played 2 and a half songs then walked off because people were throwing stuff at them.Haha.. why would you throw things at the band you're paying to see in the first place.

Bachs band were great when I saw them.That's good!

Rolling Stone reports today that Guns N' Roses' long awaited follow-up to 1991's Use Your Illusion albums may finally materialise next month.

Rumours about the status of Chinese Democracy have abounded recently, after the group completed their first successful European tour in almost fifteen years. The band is now scheduled to commence the first "Chinese Democracy" North American tour this month, with the Sebastian Bach band and a revolving door of special guests expected to support.

In an informal interview with Rolling Stone during the summer, Axl Rose revealed that Chinese Democracy would be released "this year," an assertion that's been confirmed by manager Merck Mercuriadis. Now, Rolling Stone specifies that an "inside source" has stated the album's release is scheduled for November 21.

Rose has been working on new material since 1997 and, since parting company with longtime producer Mike Clink, has gone through a number of high profile collaborators including Brian May and Roy Thomas Baker, famous for his work with Queen.

Confirmed titles for the disc include the 'Catcher In The Rye,' 'There Was A Time,' 'Better,' 'IRS,' 'Madagascar,' 'Chinese Democracy' and 'The Blues.' Demos were leaked of the former quartet earlier this year, and soon found their way into the regular setlist.

Update: Webmaster of leading GNR fansite Here Today... Gone To Hell, Jarmo, has thrown his own cryptic hat in, with the following remark:

"RollingStone.com picked the wrong Tuesday. This rumor is not true

/jarmo"

[Josh]

i thought Bach's band pwnd live, does he actually still perform under the band name Skid Row or not?

and being in the 3rd row dead centre when GNR eventually came on was (although painful) an unforgettable experience, as i was only a few feet away from Axl :cool:

[Dave de Sylvia]

No, Johnny Solinger fronts Skid Row now. He performs under The Sebastian Bach Band with current and former members of Halford, Testament, Iced Earth and Death. He can't write a song to save his life though, which is unfortunate considering how great a singer he is.

Anyway, my girlfriend is going to see GNR in Chicago next month and she might get to go backstage :(

she's probably faithful, but you probably want to send her with a few condoms....:p

it is a shame Bach can't write songs, although live he absoloutely pwnd :)

[blue3]

What songs did he play? I can't wait to see him live.. from the level 2 view.

Slave to the grind, 18 and life, I remember you, youth gone wild, piece of me, a couple of as-yet-unreleased tracks, monkey business, and i think quicksand jesus, and maybe some others as well. very very tight live act.

[blue3]

That's awesome. I love Skid Row.

I don't have a girlfriend. I win.

[Dave de Sylvia]

she's probably faithful, but you probably want to send her with a few condoms....
:mad:

I don't have a girlfriend. I win.
Wait a minute..

Sebastian's band joined the tour a few shows after mine, and Izzy joined on the day after my concert. I suck :(

[blue3]

Haha, at least you were up front for GNR.

[Josh]

heh, i had Sebastian Bach and Izzy Stradlin, me > Plath :p
but i need sleep now :( so i'm going :wave:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't have a girlfriend. I win.

[Kyle]

Apparantly Kerrang Radio have been announcing all morning that the date Rolling Stone mentioned is defintely going to be date, and that they recieved confirmation from the label.

[robnathanson]

http://www.newgnr.com/newgnr.html

^^Thoughts on the new info?

[Dave de Sylvia]

http://www.harley-davidson.com/

There's an ad on there that has a clip of the studio version of 'Better.' It sounds great.

[Kyle]

How do I get to the ad? :confused:

edit: got it, sounds great :thumb:

[Dave de Sylvia]

Apparently it's going to be pulled, they weren't supposed to air it yet. I hate GNR.

[blue3]

Hah. Apparently there's a car commercial with Slash randomly being there. I still haven't seen it.

[guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]

i am so pissed gnr isn't playing near kelowna british columbia. ugg. for novemer 21 i hope so. in case you guys haven't heard bachs new album is coming out he has written the material with even seinfield. I have heard the good verisons of better and catcher in the rye and they are amazing. how long do you guys think axl is going to keep his cornrows? i prefer w/o the cornrows.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yesterday I was sitting in the Cafeteria inbetween class, and the November Rain video came on the TV screens :cool:

[TojesDolan]

So... Chinese Democracy will come out in November?

*excitement*

[Kyle]

Apparantly, but I can't get excited until I have an official release date.

When that happens though, i'll go nuts.

[adamstartin]

The new leaked demo is kinda meh. Out of the 10 songs, theres like 3-4 really brillaint ones, about 3 awful ones and the rest are average.

[Kyle]

What are you referring to? :confused:

[adamstartin]

What are you referring to? :confused: The leaked chinese democracy demo cd thingy, it has 10 tracks on it, about 3 of which are live tracks. Better is sounding very good, as is the title track, oh my god and t.w.a.t.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The leaked chinese democracy demo cd thingy, it has 10 tracks on it, about 3 of which are live tracks. Better is sounding very good, as is the title track, oh my god and t.w.a.t.
There was no leaked CD; four demos were leaked earlier this year, 'Oh My God' was released on the End of Days soundtrack in 1999 and five songs were played live over the past few years. 'Silkworms,' 'Rhiaid' and 'Oh My God' won't be on the album (if it's released).

haha wtf is this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Guns_N%27_Roses_Song

"Better" is a Hard Rock song by Guns N' Roses, released in 2006. It will appear on the famous long-delayed Chinese Democracy album. The song features a variety of past and present G N' R members from the recording sessions of the album Chinese Democracy. The song "Better" was leaked onto the internet in 2005 in demo form, and then later released in studio form at the end of the year, along with the release of the album Chinese Democracy. Part of the studio version was debuted on a commercial for Harley Davidson titled 'Black Sheep' which debuted in October 2006. From 2005, Guns N' Roses have played Better on just about every stop on their new Chinese Democracy tour.

Funny I could have sworn the album hadn't been released yet :confused:

[r0wney]

i am seeing them in december. w00t \m/ X_X \m/

[Dave de Sylvia]

http://www.slashonline.com/swf/index.html

Wow, Slash has a website. And it's really cool. The download section has a bunch of great videos.

[Kyle]

Ya, that's pretty old :confused: But yeah, some good stuff on there.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I know it's old, it's just the first time I've ever gone there.

So big drama in gnrland. Del James (the guy who wrote the story for the video of NR and co-wrote Yesterdays and the Garden) is the band's roadie now, and he wrote an article at GNR.com. Half an hour later, the article is pulled from the main page but not deleted from the server. here today gone to hell, the board that's pretty much management's bitch, has banned all discussion of it. You might have heard this happened with the recent harley ad and a rolling stone article before it.

Circus, man.

[Kyle]

Oh my god, I read the article, but didn't realise it had been pulled. What the hell is wrong with them?! Grr!

[Surtr]

So, the GNR Halifax show = Amazing.

New GNR > Old GNR.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

New GNR > Old GNR.
:-|

[blue3]

So, the GNR Halifax show = Amazing.

New GNR > Old GNR.Reaally? How so? What did they play?

[Surtr]

Reaally? How so? What did they play?

Opened with Welcome to the Jungle..

and after that I'm not sure of the order lol.

Sweet Child
You Could Be Mine
November Rain
Rocket Queen
Knockin' On Heaven's Door

And pretty much every song that you'd expect them to play..and they played The Blues, which was insane, because Dizzy did this HUGE Piano solo on the grand piano and at the end, he stops, then starts again and the whole band comes in playin' The Blues.

They ended with Patience, and then did O' Canada lol.

All the new guitarists are better than Slash or Stradlin. I went into the concert certain that it'd be average, but it was pure amazing.

And my god, Axl can sing better than he could 15 years ago. Mind blowing experience for sure.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think you're the only person who thinks that.

[blue3]

I love your avatar.

I don't know.. I highly doubt the guitarists are better than Slash & Izzy. IT'S SLASH AND IZZY!! Yeah. I love the original line up. 14 days till the concert. 19 days till Aerosmith & Crue!

[Kyle]

The guitarists are more technically proficient than Slash and Izzy, but I doubt they have the same songwriitng skill. I'll wait til' I heard CD to confirm that, but the old guys wrote a hell of a lot of memorable tunes.

[Jimothy the 33rd]

And my god, Axl can sing better than he could 15 years ago. Mind blowing experience for sure.


My girlfriend bought us tickets for a wembley gig, we queued from about half ten in the morning and we were right at the front.
They new GNR are comparable to the original line-up but I wouldn't say necessarily better.
Different:thumb:
But Dizzy's solo definately was amazing.

Don't know if it's been asked before but has anyone seen the tribute band, Guns 2 Roses?

[Dave de Sylvia]

14 days till the concert. 19 days till Aerosmith & Crue!
Damn, I wish I was going. I haven't got anything lined up for the future.

The guitarists are more technically proficient than Slash and Izzy, but I doubt they have the same songwriitng skill.
I'd say no again, to be honest. I mean, maybe the new guys can play mad sweeps while negotiating peace treaties or whatever, but Slash and Izzy had an amazingly complimentary style that I've heard with very few other guitarists.

The new blokes can write songs though. Dickie's old band Wifey are really good, in the same vein as Izzy's punkier stuff.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Damn, I wish I was going. I haven't got anything lined up for the future.
Me either :(

while negotiating peace treaties
:lol:

[Cipher Hour]

Hey guys, will do some editing and overhauling of the first page soon. The current tour is amazing, wish they could come back to Vancouver (though I understand due to 2002) and I'm still agonizing over the lack of a release date as are the rest of you. Good to be back, albeit briefly. Rock on fellow GNR nutjobs.

[Kyle]

Hey Cipher :wave: Good to see you back, even if it is only briefly.

[purplefeet]

The show was amazing in the t.dot. They played for over 2 hours and it was a sweet sweet set

[Surtr]

For sure man, and I'm fairly sure the new guys won't stand up to Slash and Izzy writing wise, but they were without a doubt better players.

Hahah having the TPB there was awesome. That was a lot of fun. And LST, I totally know what you are saying about the new line up. At first, the very thought of it was "meh" but after seeing em' live..oh my god, they can pull it off 110%

don't you ever come to the pit anymore ? :O

Good stuff.

It's nice to see that the new Guns n Roses don't suck.

[Jacaranda]

I was seriously considering traveling up to Calgary (somehow) to see them early December but then I noticed I didn't have tickets and people to go with. Damnit.

[Kyle]

I want to see GnR again :upset: Could be a while before another UK tour though I guess..

Sweet Child O' Mine [Halifax, NS]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqWqPWR3xFAWow, they really nailed this.

[Kyle]

So it looks like CD is finally gonna drop on March 6th.

Check the band website for long Axl Rose statement.

[blue3]

I'll definitely check out the band site soon. I finally saw GNR live. Last week. I just suck at posting here right away but whatever. I'm sure no one even reads the GNR thread anymore anyway :(

I completely missed the Suicide Girls (DAMNIT) because the line up outside was huge. I heard they were.. uh.. an interesting act. I got there just when Helmet started, I didn't like them much though. Then I wandered around the Saddledome and found people I knew.. then managed to get a level one row one seat for Sebastian Bach. Some bastard came before GNR started and said it was his seat... so I had to go back to my shitty seats in level 2 with my friends, who were pissed that I ditched them. GNR started at around midnight. People started leaving so early and by the end of the show, less than half the seats weren't filled anymore. It was lame. The show was extremely good though. These fags at school got free tickets but kept whining about the concert and I wanted to just kick them in the face. Ugh, I hate that guy. Wow, I ramble a lot.

[RNR]

Am I the only one who isn't all "zomg suicide girls are so hawt I suck"?

Anyway, good to see that Axl can have a career without Slash.

[blue3]

No you're not the only one. I actually went to the concert late on purpose.

[RNR]

Some look like men. *nod*. Shame on Guns N Roses.

[blue3]

Haha awesome. Did you see them.. or Aerosmith & Crue?

[RNR]

Guns but not Aerosmith and Crue. I rarely see concerts 'cause of the no money thing.

Did you catch The Who a few months ago?

[blue3]

Yesss. Floor, row 3. It was amazing. I know you went as well. Too bad no one good is coming to Calgary anytime soon. Except Eric Clapton, & that metal show in February... & Snoop Dog, hah.

[RNR]

I'm not seeing Clapton but i'd like to.

Which metal show?

[Jacaranda]

Yesss. Floor, row 3. It was amazing. I know you went as well. Too bad no one good is coming to Calgary anytime soon. Except Eric Clapton, & that metal show in February... & Snoop Dog, hah.

I think Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, Lamb of God and Nelly Furtado are coming in like January or February.

[RNR]

No good metal ever comes through Calgary because all of the prog and power bands think we're all rednecks and skip over Alberta completely.

[Brokensticks]

You're not jsut rednecks?

haha just kidding.

Real shame Axl is a dick. I loved Guns N Roses

[Kyle]

BTW, did any of guys hear Lars Ulrich drummed on Out Ta Get Me the other night?

[blue3]

No good metal ever comes through Calgary because all of the prog and power bands think we're all rednecks and skip over Alberta completely.3 Inches of Blood was suppose to be coming, with Cradle of Filth. Then CoF changed their opening band cause CoF sucks ***.

The metal show I was talking about.. http://www.albertametal.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10172. That. Metal AND gaming music! Hahah, it's gonna be awesome.

I think Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, Lamb of God and Nelly Furtado are coming in like January or February.Yeah, my little sister told me about Nelly Furtado. Then I laughed at her. Cause I'm mean.

[Echleon]

I saw them in Nottingham in the Summer.

They were amazing, but I didn't approve of BFMV as a support act, and the hideous wait after them. The crowd was booing and a couple of fights broke out in the pit.

[Dave de Sylvia]

They came on stage right on time in Dublin :cool:

[blue3]

Well, midnight seems to be 'on time' for them. This album release date better be true..

[RNR]

I wouldn't count on it :p

[RunnerUp]

I saw them live earlier this month and they were pretty good. Live and Let Die was absolutely epic. Bastard didnt play Paradise City though.

[RNR]

I Bastard didnt play Paradise City though.

Pah. That's a travesty.

[Dave de Sylvia]

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I might go.

[Roochie]

I have only heard like....one song. I liked it but I prefer things like Blind Guardian or Nightwish.

[Kyle]

what a peculiar post.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I have heard many songs, but I prefer them to things like Blind Guardian or Nightwish.

[TojesDolan]

Seems like a good plan. I want to listen to the album to be quite honest.

[candlelight chaos]

guns 'n' roses are one of my favourite bands but I haven't heard their new album yet

[ghettoeddo]

they havea new album?

[Dave de Sylvia]

huh

http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/12/3/456571/cdclip.mp3

[TojesDolan]

seems 13 years old

[Dave de Sylvia]

You seem 13 years old.

Also why is filden still operating in 2006? Seems four months old.

[TojesDolan]

what's filden

and I meant like it's outdated but my favorite msu8ic is outdated geez don't take me so seriosly spat out plaf

[Dave de Sylvia]

um fileden gosh tojays

[Kyle]

Oh my god that clip has beef! and drums!

[One_Love]

[CommieCanada]

i heard the new single

[One_Love]

new GNR = terrible. revolver also is lame. buckethead? **** off.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Madagascar this time

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=3063

Be wary, I don't think it's legit

[Jacaranda]

tbh i didn't like it

axl go back to being a women plz.

[Dave de Sylvia]

meettuuhhhllllllll

[clairvoyant]

new GNR = terrible.

you'll probably like The Blues

[Surtr]

The Blues is a stunning song..Especially with the massive piano intro.

I still recall that as the best part of the show for me, without a doubt.

And while we're on the topic, check out the piano in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5eg38K4aKk&mode=related&search=

Never realized how awesome the piano part is..:eek:

[Dave de Sylvia]

3 new demos leaked on Friday- The Blues, IRS and Chinese Democracy- and There Was A Time leaked in the last few minutes.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=3331

[julianne]

man, you're still always up to date with these things. Even I lost interest in GNR.. :(

[Kyle]

What do you think of the TWAT link, SOP (and anybody else who is actually reading this)?

[Dave de Sylvia]

It's 1000x better than the first demo that leaked of it. Drums are fantastic.

[Kyle]

Yeah the drums really make the difference.

Everyone on the message boards are raving about the blues, but I don't really like the vocals on the early verses :confused: Can't argue with the climax though.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah his vocals on The Blues are even worse than on Madagascar. I kind of like the Chris Cornell-like tone but he can definitely do it without sounding like he's dying.
