Stacked lineup, for charity, epic group effort.
I haven't had any issues, other than that minute hiccup during Alice in Chains where the sound dropped, but everyone had that.

Mattley, if you're good with spending what you spend on t-shirts, I think this is definitely worth the 30 bucks.

Steven Tyler sounds pretty decent considering all the issues he's had. I don't think they tour again, due to insurance issues, but I definitely think Aerosmith has a farewell show in them. You know Nuno is going to be in his ear about it.

Yeah for some reason video won't work on my MacBook Pro when I go to cast even though system's up to date, and casting from my iPhone it'll go for 30 seconds and then stop. Last 20 minutes have been ok.

In any event this is awesome, great seeing ST up there right now, and the rest of the lineup is just incredible from here!

I bought it. Live stream has been flawless for me, only issue is during Alice In Chains they lost audio for a few min..

And the crowd goes mild for Tool. Probably a horrible idea to put them after Pantera.

I didn't think they'd get quieter than they did for Hagar, but this whole set might as well be a piss break.

At least their cover of Hand of Doom is competent.

I’ve only watched 6 or 7 songs but so far from what I’ve seen Yungblud has been the only one to be close to being in key. He doesn’t really fit in the metal scene and is pretty goofy but he nailed changes. Steven Tyler did good too.. Ghost dude, Lzzy Hale, and Ugly Old Man Joe were pretty underwhelming.

Lol, Jake E Lee was too late going on stage.
Exactly the reason he got fired almost 40 years ago, always showing up for rehearsal hours late...

Why was Hagar even there?

So far I liked Yungblud the best of the little snippets I have heard. The lady who sang with Jake E Lee was good too.

He's friends with Chad Smith? Tom Morello and Billy Corgan like him? Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe they thought having big names would attract more PPV buys, since it's all supposed to be for charity, but he and Tyler stuck out like sore thumbs.

People are inevitably gonna shit on Axl but fact is he's 63, they're in the middle of a tour where they're already doing 3 hour rotating sets, and they just put a bunch of deep cuts together for this. That's pretty fucking cool.

He got way too far ahead on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but the other three were solid attempts, and yeah, really appreciate them digging into the catalog.

Issue with in-ears I think. That happens sometimes with him where he'll be a beat off for an entire section and I don't notice it with other singers who use in-ears. Makes me wonder what he has in his mix. Just happened in Jungle also.

Steven Tyler would have slayed as the singer for Zep if they went with him after Plant woudnt do it.

If this is how he sounds when he's too sick to continue? Fuck

You know this is why Paul Stanley hates his guts.

Eddie Trunk on a tweeting rampage on X this afternoon. You know for a fact Sharon blocked him completely from attending the show. Did you know Joe Perry was just on his show?? Now he has himself convinced after hearing Tyler sing Aerosmith is going to do a residency two days a week. :roll:

It's not Kirk's day. His rhythm guitar is practically inaudible when James drops out, and the camera shows the other 3 guys and fans during his solos.

Yeah, I noticed that on this last tour...wonder if his hearing is going or something...it's weird. Regardless of what he has in the mix he shouldn't be that far ahead?? The band sound great otherwise..their new drummer was a great choice!

It's happened randomly for a long time. Couldn't even tell you when I first noticed it. And it's strange how long it takes him to get back on track. It's like he has a completely different track in his ears and can't hear anything else.


In other matters, I wasn't quite convinced I had gotten my money's worth for the livestream. Then Bill Ward took his shirt off. He is Iron Man.
