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.

[QUOTE=Lightning Strikes Twice;13677373]Opened with [I]Welcome to the Jungle[/I]..

and after that I'm not sure of the order lol.
[I]
Sweet Child
You Could Be Mine
November Rain
Rocket Queen
Knockin' On Heaven's Door[/I]

And pretty much every song that you'd expect them to play..and they played [I]The Blues[/I], 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' [I]The Blues[/I].

They ended with [I]Patience[/I], and then did [I]O' Canada[/I] 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.[/QUOTE]


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.
[I]Different[/I]: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?

Me either :(

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.

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

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

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%

Good stuff.

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

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.

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

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

Check the band website for long Axl Rose statement.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

Which metal show?

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

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.

You're not jsut rednecks?

haha just kidding.

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

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

[QUOTE=RNR;13833942]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.[/QUOTE]3 Inches of Blood was suppose to be coming, with Cradle of Filth. Then CoF changed their opening band cause CoF sucks a[SIZE="2"]s[/SIZE]s.

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

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

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.

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

I wouldn't count on it :p

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.
