who has gone to the concert of Guns N 'Roses Axl expecting to see the same 18 years ago, first has not been seen in a mirror and second is not a true follower of the band. Moreover, anyone who walks thrashing the presentation or the leader of the group is because they either did not or do not bother to find and read news on this tour before, much less know who he is and what he has done (or not do) Axl Rose over the past decade. Well, I inform: Guns N 'Roses is not just "Sweet Child O' Mine", "November Rain" or "Do not Cry." "They wanted to come out with Axl of lycra shorts ? Please! How can you fall in such simplicity. And it was pathetic to see many tweeting after the long wait (it was) their absurd valuations over the appearance of GN'R frontman when not even know how to write her name correctly. Least I can believe that criticized the changes of clothes. By God! You never saw a concert by Guns N 'Roses or even on DVD? Axl always changing. My Godness ! Live and let live! (Or die!). Axl What is older? Yes and fatter? No doubt. How many cc of botulinum toxin? What is the problem? We are not against man 30 years came in 1992, but before one of nearly 50 What did you expect? Will we see 15 to 16 us?
What remains a "misconduct", a rockstar , a prima donna? So what? He always has and probably will be forever. Their fans know it is not justified simply KNOW HIM. For that is who he is, so is Axl Rose and the morning of March 28, 2010 showed, both on stage and off it, which remains the same as always. Same insolence, same smile, same strength, same attitude.
The concert began after the 1 am, just as he said in a press conference after Solid Show, claiming that the leader of Guns N 'Roses came out late in Peru. Only he remained, musicians and crew were from the previous day in Caracas and even gave a clinic in rock. Before the expected time, played Electrocirkus (decent sound, though I would make a fashion emergency ) and Pixel. I will pause a few lines to discuss the grouping of Pablo Dagnino.
I understand the need to move the sheet Sentimiento Muerto and emphasized in each presentation, but sometimes you have to be clear about the circumstances. Pixel is not being presented at 8, as planned, to make way for Guns at 9. Were more than 11 of the night and there were people from 8 am lining up outside the polyhedron. I assure you (and so I shared it with several people in the pot agreed) that if Dagnino have sung at least ONE song would have been welcome HM COMPLETELY different and more considering it was an audience with an average of 30 years (" or believe that many people under 25 who can afford those prices?). Justify aggression at all (in contrast, is more than reprehensible), I just want to make clear that sometimes not enough to have a repertoire and a name, it is sometimes more important to have a sense of timing.
When at last the lights went out and started the show with "Chinese Democracy", fatigue, moodiness, hunger, desire to go to the bathroom and any other discomfort vanished with the coming on stage at the iconic red nose respingadísima. We were all staring hypnotized during the first song. The faces of delight of the people and their smiles were irrefutable proof that a true magnestismo rockstar never lost. Then would come the explosion. Began to sound the chords of "Welcome To Jungle" and thereafter the intensity never fell into the nearly 3 hours of music, not even to the outputs of Axl to change (or take oxygen) or on the solos of Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, DJ Ashba and Bumblefoot.
Right. We knew that. Axl came with a band of unknown but (and now tell properly) quite respectable musicians. This new lineup not only plays well, has good looks and charisma. I admit that the nostalgia and other little details made me think of Slash, Duff and Matt at first, but as the concert progressed little noticed the absence. The final DJ perched on scaffolding Ashba ended up driving into oblivion that night to the hair of former Guns guitarist and star of his eternal cigarette. While I still can not fathom a great musician and recording videito Slash walks with Paulina Rubio, Axl showed me Guns N 'Roses it is him. In fact since the two should be left bullshit!
addition to "Welcome to the Jungle" rang from the old ladies, "Live and Let Die," "Rocket Queen", "Knockin 'on heaven's door", "Sweet Child O' Mine" "Nightrain" and "November Rain "after one of Axl on the piano that allowed us to sing" Another Brick In The Wall. " The new and "Better", "Sorry" and "Madagascar" were well received, at least where I was located. Almost all chanted.
Axl said little, as usual, but gave seductive smiles and picked up the stage as much flag bandana, poster, support and even baby doll launched and saved him. I found a nice gesture to pick up a tricolor Venezuelan put it on his shoulders, do worry about holding him correctly (have been instances where artists teach the flag with the stars upside down). Quick
the hours passed. From time to time the 1 became 4 in the morning. I would have loved to hear "Do not cry." I did not enjoy illusions until I saw the set list of Argentina, where they sang a little more than here. Privilege of the locals for being a land of rock and reggaeton not like Venezuela. But equally, surely in the play itself hubiese notado mucho la ausencia de Slash. No me quejo para nada. Para mí era más significativo oír“You could be mine”, “Mr. Brownstone”, “It’s so easy” y “Patience”. Fui complacida. El set list completo de Caracas lo pueden revisar acá .
Don't Cry en 1992 en Argentina y en 2010
El final llegó con "Paradise City", como tiene que ser, en medio de pirotecnia y confeti volando. Axl lanzó el micrófono al público y la banda, which gave a few whole concert (I got my good ostia for that), left the stage. Returned in full to say goodbye in a bow and toast with a pink shots given to some musicians who were closer to the stage. rockstar pure essence.
If there is anything objectionable in this concert was the cost of tickets and more considering that unlike all the tour of Latin America, Venezuela was the only country that did not have the presence of Sebastian Bach, former lead singer of Skid Row, opening a GN'R. With tickets to Metallica at the cost of filling polyhedron and insurance would have earned more. "Too many concerts this month. Metallica, Franz Ferdinand and Dream Theater. I had to borrow to come, "I did hear about an assistant to the dais. "My girlfriend could not come. The concerts we have broken, "said another. "$ 800 I spent on the change of Metallica concert to go with my son, this time I could not bring" a friend I trusted.
Conclusions? 1) Axl is NOT as fat as I thought (became pregnant more) 2) NO is so old (his stage presence remains powerful and electrifying) 3) YES voice still retains enough (though now work harder) and it really important remains 100% AXL!, vocalist of a band that in just six years and five albums just made history in the Rock.
delay absolutely equis. He who knows how Axl was not taken by surprise. It happened on the tour. I will not be just me who is to judge whether or not a disrespect for disrespect and abuse simply have to put the channel 8 and nobody does anything about it. I said that Axl is like and their fans this is acceptable. He only comes out when ready and not before, in his words, and he can expect anything else. It's like going to see Charly García and not assume that they can kick the piano and go in the midst of an outburst. Who do not know, honestly, I do not know what made in the polyhedron.
For those who insist on asking me what concert was better if the Metallica or Guns, I have to say that there is no comparison possible, are different groups, different developments, different styles. I acknowledge that I was not with great expectations because I had Polyhedron clear background, but I ended up hallucinating, surprised almost to levels of ecstasy. All I can say is that Metallica is LAAA BANDA and Axl ... AXL IS! Either you love or hate.
Of course, this concert can not be equal to November 1992. Of course it is not the same see Guns N 'Roses now than 18 years ago. Obvious. Who said otherwise? The remarkable thing this time, so expect not four but eight hours of delay, if necessary, is that the leader of GN'R proved (to speak in English and decently) that is kicking ass like never before! If this is the "decadence" as some said, I too would decline as well! Axl Grande!
I leave many extract recorded. Inches because I ran out of memory and no battery.
