Gunzen Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Am I the only one who doesn't expect jack shit but am still pumped?i'm semi excited, but i'm just sitting here @ my computer, you got tix don't you? of course you're pumped lol.yeah, week from tonight. I guess that is why, and I guess that is why some are sour cause they dont. good point.lucky bastard, not sour but a lil bit jealous. hope you have a great time.I really think there would be less pessimism if people just went to the shows.you gonna do the updates next week and photos?will do. I do'nt have facebook, so I don't know how I will get it to here. If someone gives me their contact info, I will do it and be quick about it. I actually did it in 2006, before the good phones. it was a bitch. When Lars came out I typed bars on brums instead of Lars. Nobody knew wtf I was texting about. I have an iphone, so if I get help, would love to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuanVictor Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Would be pathetic if they don't play anything different from the last tour. Edited November 1, 2012 by LuanVictorxD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first night of a 12-night run. Opening night? Do what works and get comfortable in the new digs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think it's time Richard does a new solo - he's been doing the James Bond theme since what, 2009 now?Richard has been doing a new solo for a while now, and who's saying he played the James Bond Theme tonight?

GNR 1991 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I wish they would do something drastic to that damn setlist. Another Chinese song gone: Sorry. Not that that song was anything special live but still. Also, the same old solos is getting a bit tired.I doubt they're gonna change this setlist up anything drastic throughout the Vegas run. I'd love to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But new song would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthunders13 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 There are songs that sound great on the album. Catcher, TWAT, etc...they have tried lived and don't work as well as others. The ones they do live may not be the best songs on the album, but they are the best songs live. The only one i miss that i think worked live is IRS. Its unfortunate, but thats just the way it is.

Estranged Reality Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 i actually like 'twat' live, though it sounded best performed in 2006 as a more rock n' roll based tune. also, 'catcher' has been solid live. i forgot about those two.i totally agree about 'i.r.s.' though. so good live. universal ampitheatre 2006 version of that song is still one of my favourite nugnr performances.

It is a subtle, but important, difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 was definitely hoping for some first night surprises...Why?Because a lot of us were I guess?Another way of looking at it is that this is the first show. Perhaps it's about getting comfortable again and then pushing forward with different stuff as they get deerper into the residency. The band seems to understand that there are many people coming for more than one show and there's been comments made that they will attempt to change things up. Other than the Young cover, not so much of that tonight. Here's hoping that changes going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiedHands Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Here come the whiners. If anyone expected anything vastly new or different on night one, dream on. It'll take a few shows to get their footing to start trying some different stuff. Ah well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 was definitely hoping for some first night surprises...Why?Because this isn't just another tour, this was kind of touted as something...different. A residency in honor of the band's legacy, honoring both the old and new. And so far it's just kind of the same setlist as the past few years.Again, not bitching about it. I'm not going to see them anyway (would that I could...), but I do feel like, given their constant talk lately about having worked on new material etc., it'd be cool to have something fresh. Remember that Axl made his comeback 11 years ago in Vegas and played new material for the first time there. I guess part of me expected something that I shouldn't have. Not complaining, just a tad disappointed.Still a solid gig, from the looks of things. Curious to see some videos surface later, and reactions from fans.
