Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011
Its a relief that axl sounded good/great and was in good spirits, nice to see them play Estranged and Dont Cry again.
Hope they play Going Down on saturday, is it too much to ask?

Yep seems like its a big improvement, any fuck ups wont be as apparent anyway seeing as its not being beemed live around the world, but they were all better than what they produced on the big stage the other night, thats why it was so disapointing and it could only really get better.
Find it a bit weird that they have added yet another AC/DC song to the set... this is the guy who spent how many years and how many millions making how many records worth of new material? Throwing in a cover version at the end of the set is a fun idea, but to have so many seems kind of weak.
Pretty disapointed to be honest, even if they dust off OMG it seems like they are scraping the barrel for ideas, and the reality of the elusive follow up album is its just mad notion in the minds of a few nutty online fans.
Infact I couldnt care less if they start breaking out Coma, Locomotive, The Garden, Breakdown etc - thats the old bands accomplishments, by now this line up should be living and dying by their own work.

Leaps and bounds beyond Rio... I know that's not saying a lot 
But there's no way for me to describe what I've heard as anything other than awesome.
And Axl was clearly very happy through the show. He was ON.

agree...too many cover songs.:headbang:
Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011
Another one from Carolina. I wonder how, why, who chose this song. Seems like an odd choice. Never heard of the song before Sunday.
Powerage is an awesome record

I'm sure they just wanna have fun, which is fine with me, but why Riff Raff and not something we haven't heard before? It's all there, what's holding him back? The guy is 49 years old, there's nothing to wait for. Just get it out.
Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011
the weight issue from Rio was disgustingly over exagerated. I thought it was clear he was bundled up. Looked like he was trying to fit his leather jacket over a hoodie or something. Yeah he's got a double chin but he's 48. If we wanna talk about his look let's talk about the stupid fucking hats he wears. Talk about try hard. Get rid of those. Looks ten times cooler without the hat. Shit he should even ditch the bandana here and there.
And I find it odd that Axl wears sunglasses all the time during all the shows so late in his career. I know that sounds odd coming from a U2 fan considering Bono wears sunglasses nonstop(probably sleeps in them too) But I wonder why Axl has suddenly adopted this. he never wore sunglasses durring the Illusion era or the 2001-2002 era rarely during 2006 but lately he wears them all the time. I wonder if he's self conscious about the work he's had done? Just a question not bagging on him.
from all accounts this seems like it was a much better show. Didn't like his voice in that Whole Lotta Rosie clip though. Tha's the only clip I watched. I gotta honestly say I'm pretty bored with it all. YES I'm still posting, doesn't mean I'm not bored with what the BAND is doing. I don't get bored of the discussion. Still no new material being played just makes me yawn. I have no desire to check out the boots cause really what for? To check out the 763rd version of Welcome to the Jungle?

So true. You go to see a Guns N' Roses show and you've got a band covering the band that coverd Guns N' Roses and then with all that you get the new cover band covering non Guns N' Roses songs.... It's pretty hilarious when you break it all down. Fact is the band on stage NEVER plays their own songs.
Re: Santiago, Chile - October 5, 2011
I really wonder now whats happened, mabye how CD was recieved just killed off any drive Axl had. Judging by how that album limped out in the end, mabye that drive was gone long before that...
For me though, Guns N'Roses is my favourite band, but not these guys - the real Guns N'Roses I grew up with.
I thought what Axl was building had so much potential, and the little original material we were exposed to in the early years I loved, so I didnt mind those guys stepping in the shoes of the old guys and being GNR, they were working on taking GNR forward.
But those guys are gone now and its a new cast and it seems like they have even given up the pretense of taking the band forward, digging into the the old bands and other bands discography seems like the height of their ambition and I'm not really down with that.
They are good performers sure and they put on a great show... I guess my problem is that the penny has finally dropped on me, like so many people have said here in the past, they are just the worlds most expensive cover band.
Bit of a weak ending to the once mighty Guns N'Roses.
