Smokin' Cigarettes Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Are you happy with the order of the set when Guns play? -I think WTTJ is badly misplaced. It always seemed to work better as the opener. That's a kickass way to start off a show-YCBM could be a great closer. I know it's stale but it's all we've got. Don't shoot the messenger! Just trying to stir up conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Nighttrain...it closes the set but it's a song that should be near the beginning because your suppose to get on the train not be jumping off it. Terrible placement: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sorry. It's SUCH A MOOD BREAKER. CD, WTTJ, ISE, MR.B - sorry..... Fucks everything up. Good thing it's out of the setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixes Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 WTTJ should be the opener for the encore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin' Cigarettes Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 I know this won't be popular...... but for the casual guns fan/concert goer, Shackler's doesn't fit any fucking where to me personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 CD songs don't fit with the old songs. They should drop all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 With good vocals I think Chinese democracy songs are amazing live. To me it's the strength of the music on the album, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Shackler's should be up front, song 2?This I Love, Easy, Estranged, Sorry all seem like encore songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Most of the CD songs are awkwardly placed. CD shouldn't be the opener, Sorry always killed the vibe, and SOD and TIL never seemed to make much sense anywhere. I feel like ever since Ron's departure that the CD songs just don't work with the older material; Ron was able to mesh everything very well.Estranged is way too early in the set.Estranged should be the first song of the encore. It's all quiet, lights are out, and then you hear the cymbals out of nowhere. That would be epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a particularly hard song for Axl, and it just...doesn't work well as the fifth song (Or so) of the set.Also, if they're gonna keep playing Nice Boys, encore plz.

Amir Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The Tommy Solo/Dizzy Solo/Street of Dreams combo from 2012 was horrific. Thank God they split the solos up and ditched SOD for Catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersillyspacemonkey Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Axl can't even sing YCBM anymore whatsoever fuck the hard part even in the 90s he had trouble on that but I can do it easy. Drop YCBM and whatevr else he won't be able to fucking sing without sounding like Mickey Mouse for the night. They need new shit entirely right now its been 6 years already this is retarded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin2002 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 This is bound to happen though with them not following a setlist & just going by whatever Axl wants to play - if they sat and structured a well thoughout & balanced set it could be amazing....they won't though so.....

liers Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I feel like the opener is the only good place for CD unless they cut the intro... otherwise you would have a breakdown for the intro in the middle/end of the show.I like YCBM as an opener. I wish they'd bring back OMG and use that as an opener and prostitute as a closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Axl can drop whatever he wants. I wish people wouldn't say he can't drop You Can Be Mine because thats just plain not true. He didn't play Don't Cry for years and thats high on the list of songs people expect to hear! He has to play November Rain, Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child. Literally everything else in the set is debatable and I'd prefer he take out the ones he can't sing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 CD be great as the first song after the encore. That's where it used to be. I don't think it really gets the crowd pumped at all. It's just a weird song to play live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm not trying to be a dick here, but its because the songs just plain aren't that good. He hasn't released new songs that stand up at all with the classic stuff. At least they don't work that way an iota in concert. They feel like boring crap, even a song like Chinese Democracy that I really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
