Guns N Roses Part 1 @ Goffertpark Nijmegen, 12 Juillet 2017

+ Angus Young

Quelques embouteillages sur la route qui nous ont causé des sueurs froides, le groupe étant programmé pour 19h30... oui 19h30 !!!

Juste le temps d'aller chercher nos invitations au guichet et de fendre la foule compacte, le parc affiche complet avec plus de 50 000 hollandais, pour nous rendre dans la fosse or que déjà, l'intro résonne il est 19h45.

Le temps est magnifique et ensoleillé bien qu'un peu frais. Ce soleil qui éclaire la scène et qui se trouve face aux musiciens va rendre inopérant le light-show pendant les 3/4 du concert. Pas grave on est devant mais dommage pour les effets.

Le groupe est en grande forme, surtout Axl qui n’arrête pas de sourire et de blaguer en regardant les premiers rangs. Je l'ai rarement vu aussi détendu.
Le son qui avait causé beaucoup de tords à nombre de personnes au Stade de France est ici Parfait.

Le public -des Hollandais d'1m90- ne bouge pas beaucoup mais semble vraiment apprécier la prestation des Gunners.

Cerise sur le gâteau ANGUS YOUNG vient nous jouer 2 titres ( "Whole lotta rosie" et "Riff Raff") mais ça on le savait le manager nous l'avait annoncé discrètement à Paris.

2e cerise sur le gâteau on a droit à "I used to love her" et "Out to get Me" que le groupe n’interprète pas tout le temps.

Angus Young & Cliff Williams @ Le Grand Journal, Canal+, Paris Nov 05 2014

 Angus & Brian did some interviews yesterday (Nov 04) @ Four Seasons hotel in London including for some French press, Angus ( & Helen) arrived in Paris that night with Eurostar @ Gare du Nord.

Cliff arrived in Paris in the afternoon from the USA.

 Nov 05:
Angus and Cliff gave a few interviews this morning for magazines , newspapers and radios

This afternoon they went to Canal+ for an interview for "Le Grand Journal" between 4:00pm and 5:00pm:
Angus spoke for most of the time,  with Cliff only saying a few words, of course the interview was crap, they had the cd cover and vinyl cover on the set but there was no cd or vinyl inside. It lasted for 20 min.
Fun to see Angus & Cliff for the promo but for die-hard fans: no interests apart from seeing them in flesh.
2 shows are planned @ Stade de France at the end of May but we all know that all ready.
They do not talked about Phil during the interview but...
From what I've been told by several sources , Phil is definitively playing on the album but not sure for the Tour yet as there are some tensions between him and the band.I won't get into more details.
I guess that the official picture WITHOUT Phil was a good ( or bad) message to him: "If you keep fuckin' things up, you're out of the band".
From what Antoine De Caunes said when he introduced Angus & Cliff  this interview will be broadcasted on the day of the album release so:  Dec 01st or 02nd.
Angus and Cliff left straight after the interview for Germany.
