Free Bird Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Still I'm amazed from the show yesterday. The new songs live are killer. Even WOF.They get almost as much applause as the Guns classics. People went crazy. At least the guys around me.The man's created classics with every band he played in. And this band is a blast on stage. Musically wise. And this is what it's all about, isn't it? I personally don't need a big pyro show or other show effects. I'm there for the music and this guys delivered it every time I saw them.It was a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNRS Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Just came back from Amsterdam. Thought the show was alright. Easily the best setlist of the shows I've seen over the years, yet a 20 minute version of Rocket Queen with Slash pointlessly noodling around kind of ruined it for me. He just doesn't seem to be as focussed as he was several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just doesn't seem to be as focussed as he was several years ago.The Rocket Queen solo could be about 5 minutes shorter. I remember really digging the blues solo before Anastasia in 2012, and of course bringing back The Godfather solo in 2010 was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Am I the only one that's actually kinda disappointed? I've never liked DTJ that much, and there's so much more off of UYI that's far better IMO, and what about some Snakepit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Slash is murdering those notes, but I need some "homefuck" in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Band is killing it. Great version. Of course there are better songs, but it's just great to see more UYI material being played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't complain when they perform new old material, though.That guitar sound in DTJ is just powerful as fuck and the video has shit quality.

Damn_Smooth Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Absolutely awful. Wish I had never read Nosaj's status update so I could have spared myself from checking it out. My bad though, I should have known better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to think of any other UYI songs I want to hear that are feasible (I can't see the Conspirators playing Locomotive or Coma any time soon). Civil War was great in 2010, hopefully they rotate it in and out again. We've got YCBM which I wasn't expecting before this year. Breakdown or Pretty Tied Up would be neat.

Anguyen92 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) ^^ Maybe they just do a keyboard backing track or something? I heard Fitz is a decent keyboard player, but then who will fill for drums? Edited November 25, 2014 by Anguyen92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Todd went home with the detached retina Fitz played bass and the tech played drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That was pretty sweet! It's missing a rant to kick it off and "home-fuck" as well but good hearing it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown or Pretty Tied Up would be neat.Well, I didn't mean Just Like Anything (which I must have heard 6 times live from Slash), Mean Bone, or Speed Parade. How about Landslide? Dime Store Rock? Neither Can I? Back And Forth Again? And he never played Serial Killer in my area .As far as UYI to tap into: Bad Obsession, Don't Damn Me, Right Next Door to Hell, Back off Bitch, Dead Horse, Get In The Ring.........80% of the people who go to Slash's shows would know any of those songs.Breakdown or Pretty Tied Up would be neat.Could these songs be played without keyboards?Yes.

Amir Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I like Back Off Bitch, but I get the feeling everyone but Axl was embarrassed by that song. Dead Horse is an "Axl" song in my eyes like November Rain. I do really like Don't Damn Me but I excluded it because I think those lyrics would kill any lead singer trying to attempt them.Get in the Ring? In 2014/5? Would be amusing to see who Slash would choose to rant about...I find Right Next Door to Hell really boring. To me it seems like it tried to out-Jungle Jungle and failed miserably (WTTJ was great when I saw Slash in 2012 btw).I'm not a huge Snakepit fan but I guess Neither Can I wouldn't be bad. I'm glad I got Mean Bone because it's one of the few I like (Beggars & Hangers-On was great in 2010 as well).Personally, I can't really complain about the setlists, I got 6 songs swapped out in 2 nights in Paris, including a live premiere or two. Hope he changes it up again for London next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Ghost Mean Bone Nightrain Dirty Little Thing Back from Cali Beggars & Hangers-On Civil War Rocket Queen Fall to Pieces Sucker Train Blues Nothing to Say Starlight Watch This Sweet Child O' Mine Slither Paradise City Standing in the Sun Halo Mr. Brownstone Just Like Anything No More Heroes Carolina We're All Gonna Die Out Ta Get Me Doctor Alibi Anastasia You're a Lie Welcome to the Jungle Avalon Automatic Overdrive You Could Be Mine Wicked Stone Beneath the Savage Sun Bent to Fly World on Fire Stone Blind Shadow Life You're Crazy38 unique songs from Slash's career in 4 shows I have been to in 4 years (not including Alter Bridge's Rise Today, Zeppelin's Communication Breakdown, and The Godfather solo). For an act that isn't Pearl Jam or Springsteen or a jam band, and who has a lot of fans who want to turn up just to hear the handful of GNR hits, that's pretty good going.I've been to 13 Axl shows in that same time, I've heard:AFD1. WTTJ2. ISE3. Nightrain4. Brownstone5. PC6. My Michelle7. SCOM8. Rocket QueenLies9. You're Crazy10. PatienceUYI I11. LALD (I'll count it as a "GNR song" at this point)12. Don't Cry13. November RainUYI II14. Civil War15. 14 Years16. KOHD (again, it's almost a GNR song at this stage/in its performance)17. Estranged18. YCBMChiDem19. CD20. Shackler's21. Better22. SOD23. Catcher24. Sorry25. I.R.S.26. Madagascar27. TILI've excluded Dead Flowers, The Seeker, Nice Boys, Attitude, etc. If I'd gone to Vegas instead of Buenos Aires, I would have heard Yesterdays, TWAT and Prostitute, but not My Michelle. Still, that's only about 30 songs in 13 shows. Now, granted, I don't expect that Slash number to go up massively by London, but overall you can see more deviation in the setlist between GNR and Slash.Obviously Axl's GNR has the expectations of more GNR songs to be played, and Slash has had a more extensive career, so it's not an entirely fair comparison, but the odds of me hearing TWAT in 13 shows should have been better (obviously I'm a bit bitter about that ).I'm not that big on Slash's solo career so there's about 9/10 songs from those gigs that I'm not fussed about having heard (mostly Snakepit, VR and AL songs, I really like the new album, though), and from the Axl shows it's only been SOD which has bored me from the first show (though some of the others have been a slog recently, though I put that down to a lesser performance from Axl than GNR fatigue on my part ). Still, I really appreciate what Slash does for his fans in terms of setlists, wish Axl had pulled out TWAT and Prostitute just once or twice at the shows I've attended.EDIT: Just did a count of ChiDem songs I've heard vs. World on Fire songs: 9 ChiDem : 8 World On Fire songs. And that's from just 2 shows in support of the latter album. Edited November 25, 2014 by Amir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Not that passion in there he used to have back in the day but still great. One of my favorite GNR live tunes. Way better than the studio version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way better than the studio versionThe set up he used during the UYI tour was a monstrosity, without that, and Duff's bass tone, DTJ lacks a lot of its power. It's a great performance, still.As for the "passion", he quit booze and drugs. That's the passion he's missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
