I agree with you...but they should drop the covers IMO, get rid of LALD, KOHD, The Seeker, New Rose (actually maybe keep this one). But, between that nd a longer set I think we'll see more of those UYI songs. But, I don't want any of the AFD songs dropped, when there are covers they can drop instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I think this is pretty good, but it's stellar compared to the first show of the 2014 tour. Can't hear Axl due to crowd singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalGunner Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 LALD and KOHD probably aren't going to be dropped because they are covers that GnR basically made their own and they are show staples that all fans, hardcore and casual alike, expect to see. New Rose is good, there will probably always be a cover or two for Duff to sing while Axl gets a breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madison Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 10 minutes ago, CardinalGunner said: Its not realistic for a band to tour with multiple drummers alternating between songs. Pointing to a one-off special occasion like the HOF is just that, a special occasion and that happens often at the HOF with band's alumni. Bringing this guy to play one set of songs, and that guy to play another set of songs is not how things in work for bands on tour. GNR is not an "average" band - never has been and never will be. They've never done things "like every other band" - which is part of what makes them great. And both Matt and Stevie have indicated they have no problem sharing a stage with each other. So, I don't see this is an issue at all. As long as the two are willing to split the paycheck, I don't see any hurdles to making this happen.

GNRfan2008 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 KOHD and LALD get more radio play than Patience and Don't Cry, which I think is a shame but it is what it is. Casual audiences expect to hear those two songs. No way they get dropped. At least Slash is back playing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthest thing from that. But I don't see a multi-drummer lineup as a realistic long-term setup. My opinion.

Well if he lost weight, his voice and stamina would likely improve. I don't think many people would be clamoring to "bring back fat axl" His hair transplants have grown in nicely so he's doing all he can with that.

thirdeyeuss400 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I hope they do spontaneous setlists like back in the day... like even when they didn't know what they would perform next... That would be awesome. I like having Slash and Duff back in the line up it takes stress, pressure, spotlight off Axl now that people want to see the 3 of them and not just Axl. Good times are ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought that he would. But once that pic of him with Slash's daughter came out, the writing was on the wall. He either can't or won't improve things. Even if Steven and Izzy were back, he would still sing like that and be the same size. From what we've seen, the vocal performance wasn't full on Mickey, he was mostly good. So maybe efforts have been made, but the Mickey voice is now part of how he sings. Unless they put out new material that better suits his current voice, this is it. Well he bloated up prior to 2001, and then trimmed down somewhat, so I've been hoping he would trim down again. But he's apparently a man who likes his indulgences - sushi, steak, beer, etc. I guess we all have our vices. Slash had opioids, axl has carbs and sugars and fats. But the "it's because hes old" excuse doesn't cut it. Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, and many others have shown you don't HAVE to let yourself go as you get older. Some people just decide they get more pleasure out of gluttony than they get out of being healthy and in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Getting Izzy has an extra advantage apart from everything that should be, he can sing 2-3 songs easily. (DTJ,14Y,DNB, even some of his solo songs) Get Duff to sing 1 or 2, and Axl would have his max. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times are ahead. there is no way in this day and age they are going to do the spontaneous set list, everything nowadays is so controlled with the lighting and the mixing that the Set list is well established hours before the concert, I am sure every night might have a couple of songs that were different from the night before, but I am guessing at least 90% of the set list is exactly the same each night on the tour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say the solo was more in line with Robins but Slash definitely put his touch on it, i remember really diggin the end of it in particular. Thank you. Sounds really interesting.
