Massive venue - indoor football stadium. Tons of open space on the floor and tons of empty seats behind the stage. Honestly I think it’s too big for a concert.
The band slayed. The production, not so much.
Very muddy overall sound mix. It was bad. Thank goodness the guitar solos were clear. Everything else was just this wall of noise a lot of the time. AIC opened and sounded 100x better.
These guys put on amazing performance and anyone who wants to talk shit about Slash can suck it. He was incredible. He WAS the show. Ripping solos on every single song. 3 hours. Amazing. Glad I got to see it even though it is the year 2023.
Crowd was funny, seeing 60 year olds dressed like it was 1989. Lol great time.
Also was fortunate to attend with a certain RMer from Canada who was surprised to learn that I am taller than 5’6” !
That sounds great. Who was the RMer?
The best part was the border agent on the way into Canada hassling us about why we didn’t have our guns with us for the trip.
The mystery RMer can reveal hxxself if they want to.

lol. Released and it's an awful song.
I know slash has riffs. I know duff has rock n roll songs. Wtf are these guys doing? Is part of the reunion contract that they can't write new music ?

I still like the song. I like the menacing melody, and yes it might be a too much similar to anything they did on the Chinese sessions, but im a huge fan of those and the album.
As for why they dont write new music, yeah its a mystery. I guess its Axl not really wanting to do more music and release all the stuff he has? not sure.

I didn’t listen to all of them but You Could Be Mine was live. Maybe that’s why they’re so much more energetic for you.

I’m sure that’s part of it, but his feel is so much more loose. Plus I never liked Sorum’s drum tones.
Agreed.

I really like what Sorum did on those albums and tour.
Besides that, i dont think i paid attention to his other stuff, maybe a few songs with The Cult? Never listened to Velvet Revolver.

I like his playing ok. I just don’t dig how his drums sound on the UYI albums

You can set a watch to Matt Sorum in terms of time
The problem is Matt Sorum has zero swing, and while he's also more powerful, that only works with some of GNR's stuff

Frank Ferrer is out of the band. Based on his farewell message on Instagram, it doesn't sound like it was his idea.

Would be interesting if they brought back Adler (or Sorum).
