Its So Easy

Rolling stones review of the first canada show (i think)

Sometimes with Axl Rose, all you need is just a little patience. Other times, you need a little more than a little. Guns n’ Roses’ Wednesday night concert in Winnipeg, Canada — their first North American date (and fifth show overall) since the release of Chinese Democracy in 2008 — was, thankfully, a case of the former.

Axl in action: check out photos from Guns n’ Roses’ marathon opening-night gig.

After making the world wait nearly a generation for his sixth studio album, and then keeping fans on hold for more than a year for a tour, Rose wasted little time getting down to business in the Great White North. The frontman and his septet took the stage shortly after 10:40 p.m. — practically a matinee for the notorious Rose. And once they got down to business, they certainly made up for any lost time, treating 7,500 fans at the city’s MTS Centre to a high-energy three-hour marathon of new material and classic G n’ R hits.

Following the basic template laid out on the band’s Asian dates in December, they kicked open the doors with the title cut from Chinese Democracy, followed by the one-two-three punch of “Welcome to the Jungle,” “It’s So Easy” and “Mr. Brownstone” from 1987’s Appetite for Destruction. From the moment Rose opened his mouth to scream, “You know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baybeeee!” it was clear his corroded air-raid siren of a voice had lost little of its range, rage or power. Likewise, the rest of the band — guitarists Richard Fortus, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal and DJ Ashba, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, drummer Frank Ferrer and bassist Tommy Stinson (formerly of The Replacements) — hit the ground running, tearing through most of Appetite and Democracy, with a few cuts from the 1991 Use Your Illusion albums (including covers of “Live and Let Die” and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”) sprinkled in for good measure.

Although he appeared to be in good spirits, between songs Rose kept fairly quiet, offering little beyond the usual thank-yous and how-is-everybody banter. In fact, for a guy who wields such a commanding musical presence, he spent much of the evening shining the spotlight on his bandmates, bolting from the stage during every instrumental break and introducing nearly every player for a solo segment (best of the bunch: Stinson’s suitably snotty bash ’n’ pop version of the Who’s “My Generation”). Rose also posted a backstage photo on his Twitter, and wrote, “Excited 2 get this rolling. In r off time we’ll b helping Mounties flush out Al Qaeda. (What’s that aboot, Eh? jk)” in one of his first three tweets since the new year began.

The gigantic three-runway black stage and high-tech production — which included all the requisite video screens, moving light trusses, pyro, percussion bombs and confetti cannons — also commanded plenty of attention. But not enough to overshadow Rose’s and co.’s triumphant return to North America. Now, you just have to wait for them to make it to the States. All you need is just a little … well, you know.

The sooner these guys get back over to Europe the better....perhaps they could even support Metallica in Belfast

rednik

They seem to be getting better so if they hit Europe in the summer they should be peaking then.

Please do not turn this thread into another ****ing old vs new guns argument. Been there done that, move on. Axl has, Slash has, time the fans did the same.

He has has he? :rolleyes:

Going to the gig in Toronto on Thursday night! Cannot wait to see Axl live again. The gig in the RDS in 2006 was great but from watching the youtube clips of this tour, his voice is back 100% at this stage!!

Big fan of Bach as well so delighted to get to see him live at the same show.

lord lucan

Is it Axl Rose on vocals or Avid Merrion?

Maybe you should get your facts straight before you post crap from some gossip website. This "story" came from a post on GNR forum that has since been debunked as having had anything to do with Axl. There was no such rule at any of the 2006 World Tour shows including Dublin where lots of fans attended wearing Slash t-shirts or top hats. There has also been no other such claims made from all of the other concerts on this tour so far. It is a complete non-story.

Anyway thank for the usual negative contribution to this thread.

Oh and here are some more photos of Axl from Jan 20th

Was at the gig in Toronto last week. Was expecting the band to come on late but taking the stage at half 11 is pretty much taking the piss!

The show itself though was awesome! Axl's voice is sounding better than I've ever heard it and the band is very tight now. At the RDS gig in 2006, the band definitely felt more like a bunch of hired guns but they seem to have real chemistry together now. The songs from Chinese Democracy pretty much all sound better live than they do on the album.

Show went on till 2 in the morning but I was enjoying it so much that I would have loved had it gone on for another hour! Will definitely be going to see them on the European leg of the tour.

Special mention has to go to Sebastian Bach! Him losing the plot because the cord on his mic wasn't stretching far enough and getting caught up in all the equipment was hilarious! Good performance from him apart from that though.
