thunderram Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 11 hours ago, Kasanova King said: Uhm...the changes you are talking about happened during different legs of the Illusions tour....and the legs were 6 months apart, sometimes more. This is still the first leg of the NITLT Tour. They have made more changes to this setlist than the first leg of the Illusions tour and it's not even close. People need to check the facts instead of non stop complaining. First off, I'm not complaining. Just responding. So heed your own advice and "stop complaining" about those that you think are complaining but are in fact "correcting". Secondly, heed your own advice with regard to "fact checking". During the 1st leg of the UYI tour (after the RIO and warmup shows), they varied the opening song multiple times just within the 1st month (MAY and early JUNE). It varied between Pretty Tied Up, Right Next Door to Hell, and Perfect Crime. Even after that, they sometimes opened with WTTJ, It's So Easy or Nightrain. They even opened with YCBM once. On this current tour, they've not altered the opener one time. Furthermore, the order of the setlist contained variations. They didn't play the same order every single night. They might do so for a couple of shows in a row, but then the order would deviate slightly a few shows later -- including the addition or removal of a song. For example, 14 Years and You Ain't the First was played at some shows but not others -- all within the 1st 2 months of the leg. Estranged was once played early in the set rather than later. Also, WTTJ was played as the closer rather than PC at an early JUNE show. Those kinds of things aren't happening now. Lastly, songs like Locomotive and Move to the City were played once or twice all within the early stages of the tour. Go compare setlists from the 1st 2-4 months of the tour. There was a lot more deviation than what we're seeing now. Again, not a complaint but a correction to what you guys are purporting as fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GibsonLP Posted August 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2016 7 hours ago, dally said: It`s anoying and boring to read trough endless pages of people complaining about the setlist.... it used to be fun reading the show treads, but now it is just sad on topic, looks like yet another killer show Exactly. When you go see a stage show like We Will Rock You or Wicked or some shit, it doesn't change at all, and it's no different when a huge band puts a show on. They're aiming to give you the best show on the night and they don't anticipate people watching multiple dates via their computer. It's fun when changes occur, but to expect them is naive, and to moan about them a bit dull. I complained earlier in the tour about The Seeker and the number of covers played but it looks like they're here to stay. There's no point complaining over and over about it, that's what kids do. Adults either learn to deal with it or move on so they don't have to. As for the people who get upset when Axl wears a jacket or not.... consider buying a Barbie doll and dress it up how you like if you need an outlet where you have that much control over things. Can only imagine the complaining on here if we were in 1991 and Axl had bike shorts on again. Like it or not, they became HIS look and you've got to let an artist define their own image. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmt Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 My friends, who were two seats over from my girlfriend and i's position were told to sit down during This I Love by some guy and what looked to be his wife. The guy was wearing a fedora and had a selfie stick. When it got quiet i looked over at my friends and screamed "i wish you could stand up to see this greatness" and then looked at the couple. Lets just say they looked like they would be happy to pay for my funeral. LOL, very funny. Thanks for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliehoodger Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Would anyone who has an extra program be willing to part with it for some green lol?

So heed your own advice and "stop complaining" about those that you think are complaining but are in fact "correcting". You're not allowed to have anything but positive comments about the band here or people will cry. There is absolutely nothing wrong with critiquing a band and discussing things like setlists. Setlists are a hot topic for any group of fans on any message board. The band's setlist is stale right now it is what it is. The shows are still great but the setlist is stale. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefRobertDammit Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) This will never be "stale". Ever. I started to post this on the Atlanta thread because that's where it was shot, but I just wanted to share my perspective of this show as well as the Nashville show with Adler. Same bat time same bat spot but definitely not same bat opener. #fuckchrisstaplegun #normanreeduslikesthecultbetter Edited August 2, 2016 by ChefRobertDammit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesecake Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 So everyone's out and about, except for Axl, holed up in his hotel room striking conversations with intelligent non-mercenary emaciated looking models riding up the stripper pole? j/k okay..Axl....chill man... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in another post about drunks. I was in section c row 2 and had a girl behind us vomit 3 different times BF guns even went on stage. I can't imagine spending the money for VIP and leaving the show. I do think that played a part in the crowd being reserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was as enthused as you were, I think for me, I'm just tired of no new shit at this stage. Yes it's great to see Axl front a band that he seems to be invested in and proud of (something I didn't feel from 11-14), yes it's nice to have Slash and Duff back and yes, Coma is pretty fucking rad. I'm also pleased (and relieved) that Axl hasn't abandoned the CD material. This time last year any hope for CD2 seemed dead in the water, but now... well, the dream is alive I guess. But I used to check each new show thread religiously, but these days I find it hard to as enthused by it all. I think for me, I won't be able to feel truly invested in the new lineup until they do new music together. At this stage it doesn't even have to be an album, just a couple of songs or something, just to show me that GNR are not just a travelling greatest hits act. It is fun to see Slash on the CD songs and I was floored when he did Sorry. But that's not enough to really get my blood pumping. It's been too many years of performing the same songs (albeit with different lineups) for me to think "man, wouldn't it be awesome if they did this song tonight." I miss that feeling. If that makes me one of the setlist whingers then so be it. yeah, it does make you a setlist whiner.....they've been playing together for what, 2 months combined and your crying for new music and about setlists after maybe 15 shows?

IncitingChaos Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I want to say this is the most improved song of the tour. I actually love it when they play it now. Melissa's vocals are perfect, the last 45 seconds with Slash just nailing every note adds intensity to the ending and the whole thing sounds so much better. It fits in so well between 3 classic AFD songs, so that's not easy to do, but it's held its own this tour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annablue Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 @KeyserSoze not sure if you know but I assume after every show there are meet and greets? those few lucky folks with backstage passes, how long after the show ended to you guys scoping out the loading bay? was that a planned thing or spontaneous! just curious.
