Fuck off.

[Lee909]

Jesus they sound like shit

[Scott_M]

I've been trying to decide that when they tour the UK would I want to go and see them....

 

Probably not.

[Sweeney287]

A couple of my friends have flown out to Vegas to see them. Would've loved to have gone by its silly money to watch a band live.

Saw the original GnR at Donnington in 88, they filmed the black and white bits of the Paradise City vid that day, and a scaffolding rig collapsed and killed 2 people.

I was at that Donnington too, good line up with Helloween, Megadeth and Iron Maiden also on the bill. G n' R was crazy, we were well back but it was still bedlam. Appetite For Destruction was just catching on as the festival took place, but all metal fans were already well aware of them.

 

I wouldn't be arsed to watch them now, it's just not the same when the only motivation is the money.

[Sweeney287]

My friends saw them last night and said they were very good.

 

One did send a video in which Axel sounded a bit ropey but maybe it was the quality of the video.

[Bjornebye]

He has sounded ropey for years. His balls must have dropped when he was about 25. 

 

Still, i'd fucking love to see them. 

[Hand Shandy]

His balls?

[Bjornebye]

His balls?

 

 

Who wouldn't?

playing slane in may 2017. almost 25 years to the day since they last played there and I was there. £22 to see the biggest band in the world. €90 euro to see if they have any of old magic. Very tempted to go.

I'm going to it, was not allowed go in 92 as I was only 8. I do not like Slane as a venue, mind. Be surprised if it sells out Friday.

[Ian Sea]

Playing in Dubai in March but I'm on holiday and can't go. Gutted.

[JohnnyH]

Yep. Another veteran of Slane. Still have the ticket somewhere. The 5 of us that went in 1992 are all going to go again. Already trying to convince the fella who drove last time (and watched the other 4 of us get shitfaced) to drive again. It's not going well...

another fucking end-of-the-pier act reforming for the wonga one last time.  

[Scott_M]

Love Appetite For Destruction but Use Your Illusion and subsequent live tours are exactly the opposite of why I liked them.

 

No doubt they'll play great etc but it won't be the tight, short, aggressive punch in the face - it'll be overlong, bloated & ridiculous.

 

This is what they played at their last gig:

 

 

 

Half that could easily be scrapped. If it was half as bloated, it'd be twice as good.

[Hand Shandy]

Bloated? You talking about the set list or Axl?

[Scott_M]

Bloated? You talking about the set list or Axl?

Both!

[Paco]

as soon as I saw them live I went off them. I remember later that year watching the mtv video music awards and they looked like a band from another era amongst nirvana, pearl jam, chili peppers and the black crowes.

[Bjornebye]

I'd like to see them just to say I have but I'd much preferred to have seen them at their peak. Such a shame axel is such a twat because they made some great rock songs.

[Sweeney287]

Going to try to get tickets for their London gig in June this morning.

[ZonkoVille77]

I like listening to their hits bit couldn't be arsed going to see them.
