Rock In Rio

Anyone watching it live?

System Of A Down are giving a good show right now, GNR are next! let's see how Axl make's an ass out of himself this time.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

So typical of Axl, nearly an hour past GNR's scheduled start time and they still haven't taken the stage.

I've got tix for Nov 19 @ 8 PM and Nov 25 @ 7:30 PM, if the shows start before 10 PM I will consider myself lucky. At least I don't have to work the day after either concert.

When GNR played RIR in 2001 they were 2 hours late.

This year they signed off on an agreement which allows them to be fined if they take the stage late, I would love to know how late they must be before the fine kicks in.

Living Colour was a great one, and I'm not saying that just because Doug Wimbish grew up in the town next to mine.

No, he looks like a bloated Dick Tracy.

When did he gain all the weight? He was in much better shape when he did the Canada gigs early last year.

"I won't be moving around" ... at least he didn't waste any time letting us know what to expect.

Sorry - second best track on Democracy, behind IRS.

Yeah, just look at it as a Axl solo show with the added bonus of him playing Guns songs! At least that's what I do.... to a point where I'm not even watching the other players when I'm at a show, as they annoy me so much! There is not one guy in the band I really like, but whatever... I'm not there for them!

Live and Let Die, love that version!

I never knew Axl had the Ozzy stutter.

This is the way I look at it, on stage the lead singer is the most important member of the band. GNR would not be GNR without Axl because he's the voice of the band. If he's not doing the singing, it's not GNR. Nobody can replicate his voice, which to me is THE BEST rock voice of the past 30 years.

Can anybody really tell if it's Slash or someone else on guitar? Not by sound alone.

Yeah! That's sadly it... the singer is always at an advantage over the rest of a band and can hold a band hostage, so to say.

But that said, Slash is doing quite well too.... I saw him this year and last year and while the singer is different, he plays a lot of Guns stuff and it is top notch!

Other bands have tried to switch lead singers, it just doesn't work - even with a legendary lead guitar such as Eddie Van Halen. Few people seemed to like the Sammy Hagar days of VH.

Sad to say, the last time I heard Sweet Child O' Mine was when the Black Eyed Peas performed it at the Superbowl. I don't know why on Earth they did.

Yeah! As a person he kinda seems ridiculous, but he's a cool player.
