Sprite Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If they do play any CD songs, it'll be interesting to see how many suddenly like it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged1 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 A modern take on the UYI stage set-up for the tour would be pretty cool, but I expect basic stuff for Coachella. AC/DC, for example, didn't use any of their tour set-up for Coachella. Yeah their hands are tied as far as stage at a festival. For the full on tour though I hope it's something kick ass. I hope they go all out on the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonsaul Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I reckon The Blues, Chinese, and Better will all make appearances (if any CD songs are played, and my gut reckons they will). In and among a AFD heavy setlist.Also, I reckon at some point we'll get a show of AFD in its entirety (not a Coachella). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience 4 Axl Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 There's no room for CD songs here or at any of the other potential shows that may come later. Axl, Slash and Duff have collectively written and recorded more than enough of their own material to put on an amazing show. Guns has been a cover band for a really long time now, I honestly hope that Slash and Duff didn't sign up to do the same thing that their no name session replacements were willing to do just for a paycheck.

While what you say might be true, it's just that I'd be interrested in hearing Slash and Duff playing the songs. Maybe they'd change them up a bit. Put their feel to it. Then again, it would be pretty sweet if they only played old stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlunkSoma Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 This I Love might get a run out. But I can't think many else would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 As much as I love Chinese Democracy, I'm more interested in them hopefully playing songs from the Illusions like Bad Obsession, Double Takin' Jive, Dead Horse, Pretty Tied Up, Locomotive (very wishful thinking) and keeping Yesterdays in the set.

And no matter the condition his voice is in, its in a lower register.I do think a CD song here and there would be fun. Duff obviously had no problem playing them, and now Slash is on board.. he could do some cool things to some of those guitar parts.. I could see him on board with playing a song like IRS or CD.

Black Sabbath Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The real question is if they'll have the bullet logo on the stage like the Illusion Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The real question is if they'll have the bullet logo on the stage like the Illusion Tour.I mentioned a few pages back that I think a modern take on the UYI stage in general would be pretty cool. There's even a spot for Pitman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curmudgeonrose Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Do we as a family believe there will be certain awkwardness/unpleasantness at the time that Axl sings: "You know where to put your "Just shut up and sing"" while intensely staring at Slash?I'M SORRY FOR YOU!!!

Roky Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 CD songs shoudn't be played, it would only bring bad memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneway23 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I love the entire back catalog, and I've heard the old band play most of it, as it existed, in its own time...I'd love to see the originals take a stab at some CD tracks...why not? It'd be something new in lieu of some grasping hope for some new material, right? If we happen to surprisingly get a new song or two in the future, all the better (no pun intended).

genesimmons Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 hey, if Slash and Duff (and if Matt or Steven are included) tell Axl they want to play certain CD songs, then who are we to complain? Let's quit wondering of the what ifs and wait until we actually hear true details of who is in the band and then an actual setlist. New music would be ideal and who knows, maybe they will stun us all with some new music. weirder things have happened with this band...Paul Tobias??

Really?What about Street Of Dreams?Nahh, don't see it happening.As utterly pointless as it would be playing cd songs, I have a feeling we're gonna be force fed at least 1 or 2. It's the continuance of Axl's deep, fucked up denial. There's literally no pay off doing it, but Axl wouldn't have kept anybody from the nu era if that were the case. It'd be admitting failure if he just ditched them. And Slash and Duff need Axl more than Axl needs them at this point, so their balls are pretty much in his hand. Most of all, he wouldn't have kept Pitman of all people if nu songs were completely off the table. Giddy up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_n_coke Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 They're kind of in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to Coachella. Most of the general public only knows GNR up thru 1992, the catastrophe that was the VMAs, and the cautionary tale of CD. With the rumored lineup, it's in their best interest to play the greatest hits and hope to god they hit it out of the park and don't melt down like at RIR 4. Beyond Coachella, is anybody honestly psyched at the possibility of shelling out $250 a head to see them play, especially after what we got in 2014?

Standard GA tickets will probably be a lot cheaper. And I saw GNR in 2014 and thought Axl sounded great, so yeah I would probably pay that much to see Axl and Slash share a stage again.
