So let's get to it. First watch this video of the old Guns N' Roses performing at the Roxy in 1986.
If you are a music and concert geek, you might want to check out the Guns N' Roses tour profile from MixOnline.com. It's a complete technical look at how the show is put on with Axl's unpredictability. Here is the gem for everyone else:
Francis' basic approach to the house mix was to emulate the energy of the sound fans have come to expect from GNR based on the records, while giving definition and form to new material off of Chinese Democracy, which is also featured on the tour.“When I first heard the songs from the new record, they floored me,” Francis admits. “This may indeed be the most-expensive album ever and the longest it's taken to do a record, but those who heard the songs live were stunned. Lyrically, there is a depth that stands up to Appetite, and it's very emotional. There is a positive side to this music as well that really surprised me. Most of the songs look forward without making so much as a nod to the past.”
