I say the same thing, which not only answers this part of your post but it leads me to believe that you are not even reading my posts in full lol. I will quote an earlier post of mine which was also a reply to you: Not at all, actually. I would say your reading of me is wrong. I simply know the music industry and I know how a lot of big bands of GNR's status work. I know exactly what I am getting into and this tour is exactly what I thought it was going to be in terms of setlist variation. I have been dissatisfied many times by various bands - GNR during this tour however is not one of said acts No I read everything perfectly I feel you have extremely low standards as a fan. You are setting time limits and restrictions on when you say your fandom will change. Cool. I have no set time me limits. I feel if the band plays in a market back to backlights the show should be drastically different. I feel if the band returns to a country after a year and the show isn't different is a shame you compare this band to other bands for some reason. But then donnot comment on the fact that this band doesn't do anything else like other bands for examples you are comparing this bands set lists to other big band set lists. Cool. Even though i don't agree with that. Fine. Whatever. But if you want to say "hey other bands do this so Guns can" then also bring into effect what other bands do new music interviews no so many covers i will never compare this band to others as it's stupid. Not to many other bands this sized are prinarilary owned by a nut but if you want to compare this band to others to justify you opinion. Compare them to everything these other bands do I might give this band a break for playing so many cover songs if they actually came out and said why they do it. Or a break on not playing more original music. If they actually said why they don't. Or might understand why they do not release new music. If they would let us as fans know why they don't. You know cause other bands do this.... ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 They really need to drop the seeker, make sure that both don't cry and patience get played every night. Maybe put live and let die and kohd on rotation so they can play my Michelle and out ta get me more often. drop TIL altogether and add in a couple of UYI tracks like perfect crime, dust n bones or even bad obsession. the current set list is getting stale.

Seems you keep going back in and doing this yes you seem to have very low fandom expectations you also seem to try and relate this band to other bands just for the case of your justifying your own opinions..... if you are fine with seeing this show back to back nights and having it be pretty much the same cool. If you are fine with them playing the same show in markets that are relatively close Cool I am not I have moderate to high fandom standards As a fan this show is great. Once off. Star Wars is a great movie. I also won't watch that every night. Steak is great. I can't eat that every night. AFD is the greatest album ever. I now switch the radio station if most of the songs come on though. I def can't listen to that album every night. Let alone see this same show every night. I am a fan and expect more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have travelled many times to see them as well not just myself but many of my friends and I have made road trips out of this the best was a few years ago here in Canada when they played many different songs every night in markets that where very close. Mao it's your opinion that this is ok. It's your opinion that people don't travel it's a fact that I have. It's a fact that friends of mine have. It's a fact that when I have been to other cities that have had this show that others there have actualled travelled to this show it's my opinion that now with this show it's a shame they do not switch it up at all for these fans that would like to travel to multiple shows. See multiple shows etc again. It's low expectations vs higher expectations of being a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Duff played Dust N' Bones when Loaded opened for Guns in Vancouver 2011, and it was pretty awesome. Duff and Axl could definitely handle it without Izzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKiss344 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Simple solution, I started to get annoyed with the lack of change in the setlist but I stopped following every show every night. I am no longer annoyed and I'm pumped to see my second show this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewdown Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 This topic continues to crack me up. If you don't want to see the show, more room for me to boogie! Saw Vegas x2 and Pitt last year and loved every minute. I am also a huge fan of Widespread Panic, a southern jam band that won't repeat a song for a minimum of 3-5 shows. I have seen them a couple hundred times since 96 all over the country. I wish Guns had the catalog that WSP does but they are also hitting new markets still, with people that want to see the greatest hits with Axl, Slash and Duff. For most of these people it's a dream come true, even without the entire lineup. It was for me. Every band is different and you should educate yourself so you have reasonable expectations for each band and what they do. Last year at this time I could not fathom the fact a childhood dream was going to come true to see the big 3 together. If Panic were to repeat a show, I would be shocked but I'm expecting a fairly similar show this summer when Guns hits Denver and even if it's identical to those from last year, I promise you I will be fucking raging and scaring most of you there with my ninja dance moves. This band can't win. Yes, I would bust in my pants if the OG 5 walked out and hopefully time will heal more wounds but I will be just as happy if the show opens with ISE with Frank, Fortus and so on. I feel like I'm on borrowed time with this band and I will take what I can get. I get the fact fans want to see more of the GnR short but genius catalog live, as do I but at the same time, a year ago, we didn't know if they could pull it off and it could be over as fast as it showed up. The internet and an instant gratification society has ruined a lot of things. And for people to bitch so fierce about something that no one ever saw happening on any level ever again, less than a year into it just makes me laugh. Just keep bitching and moaning but don't come crying when it's over for good. As for me, I will get goosebumps every time I hear the songs that shaped my childhood, live and direct. Yes, I would love more but I'm just so happy now. So quit complaining, bounce from here and don't attend shows so I can steal your dancing room. All the complaining is what's wrong with this world. Entitlement and the me me attitude is lame when we can still find some fun if you drop the ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The global power elite wants you to settle for less than the AFD5. Once you have given up on human consciousness and deep space it's fun to get wasted on vodka sodas to the Best of GNR live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Went to see top 100 tours from 2016. Looked into top 10 from rock bands. Coldplay - same core of 70-80% and a lot of rarities and one off covers thrown in for the rest. Basically what we want from GnR Paul McCartney - setlist has 38 songs, pretty much the same every night but every night has some rarities among those and you can get anything Rolling Stones - same core of 13 songs, other 5 rotated heavily and anything could be played Black Sabbath - the same setlist every night, occasionally they add a song or two Muse - see Rolling Stones Iron Maiden - the same setlist The Cure - 3h shows, never played the same set on the tour, Pearl Jam like RHCP - 6 staples, some hits rotated every other night and a lot of songs in rotation for the 2nd half of setlist, a lot of different solo songs by guitarist too AC/DC - see Black Sabbath Phish - a jam band, anything could be played So yeah, GnR are bellow average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have plenty of other songs that they could play that would be new to the setlist that aren't Izzy songs. Save that for if/when Izzy actually joins the band.

TheBaconMan Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I get a kick out of some people's posts here and there bush league advice I read someone's post. To sum it up it says you should know what you are getting into beforehand with gnr. You should know they don't change up the set list when playing back to back shows in the same city. How in the world would you know this? On previous tours this wasn't the case. This tour just started so there wasn't anything to back anything up other than previous concerts. Where they did change things up dont follow anything online or watch clips. Ok but then how is one going to know the above? I should just buy my tickets for Edmonton. Not follow anything and just hope for the best ? Anyone that know this band knows they play covers. You know this going in. They never used to play this amount of covers. I could give them a break 30 years ago when they where a newer band with not much of a catalogue of original. Now the band is a older band with wait... umm. Still not much of catalogs of original music if you don't like it don't go. This is actually the best advise and one that I am following. At these ticket prices I will never attend another show live unless they change something up. Or by chance I happen to be on vacation in a market they are playing and have absolutely nothing else to do for 3 hrs of that night this is not music I grew up listening too and I am shocked some people say that this is Slash duff and Axl playing on old songs they wrote and some songs they didn't write. Frank playing drums. Richard doing whatever it is he actually does and mellisa bobbing up and down playing a keyboard had nothing to do with my childhood memories. Well perhaps mellisa did haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnfnr2k Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Here is the thing some people miss who defend playing the same set list every night (sans 1 or 2 songs). Its not just the fans who follow every show that get bored with the set list, the band must get bored with playing the same set list over and over each night. And its not like each leg has a new set list. At least if they did that it would not be so bad. The band gets complacent and just goes through the motions because they must get bored playing the same songs over and over. It does not need to be like PJ where you change it up every night and no two set lists are the same. Just have your core staple hits like 10-15 songs or so then rotate out the other 10. the only staples you really need are Jungle, SCOM, ISE, Brownstone, Nighttrain, PC, Patience, Dont Cry, Nov Rain, YCMB, Civil War, KOHD, and LALD. and if you have to add in CD songs then CD and Better.

They don't post in forums. They don't watch periscope/youtube. Now I really don't think they are like " I can't wait to hear Better such classic timeless incredible song" or like " Wow! It is a dream come true to be able to listen The Seeker and Layla" Do you really think 99.9 of concert goers are looking forward to those songs? I think this is the issue. So the list would be better off with Pretty Tied Up or Perfect Crime. Or just with Patience, OTGM, My Michelle, UTLH and Don't Cry getting played in the same show. It doesn't seems to me I'm asking for a radical revolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaconMan Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Just imagine joe perry and Steven Tyler when they got back together played covers. Jagger and Richards when they got back together played covers. If by chance Paul and Lennon made it back together. Point is. This is "supposed" to be a big three sorta reunion. I want to hear guns in roses music. Not the big three return to play music written by other people. That's cheap easy and boring but only in the land of gnr fandom is this acceptable Very low expections I find in the fan circle. We need jams to give Axl a break (even though he didn't need one with ac/dc). Where a 70 year old guitar player wouldn't stop moving for 2 hrs they are not actually cover songs Because they were released on albums that sold millions and they are hits and people want to hear them so they have to play them yeah cool They are still cover songs that should of been dropped from staples in a set list many many years ago the other covers songs are fine to play because the band obviously wants to play them so it's cool Oh yeah Perfectly fine to go to a Guns n roses concert and listen to them sing music written by others While they rotate there own original music nightly We are getting deep cuts We are getting coma ever night You know what I could go with out 45 mins of a concert being taken up with nightly with coma estranged and rocket queen Have the 3 on rotation every three concerts Rotate in some shorter duration songs and rotate them as well every three shows This will freshen up the setlist and give some bonus for the travelling die hard fans to attend more than one show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
