cqleonardo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The setlist is good, all the hits, some diehard pleasers, don't know why you complain, Coma is the please the diehard and to please Slash, stuff like Locomotive and Breakdown would be to please the diehard and to bump the regular folks. The thing I believe they could do is drop the covers, put Duff to do So Fine so Axl can rest and not Attitude or the Spaghetti shit. Drop Layla and Wish, change the order of the songs, take the fans out of the confort zone, start the show with Paradise City for exemple, nobody will have any idea what else they gonna do if they do something like this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing is most bands are aware that when they do double dates in a city, there are a lot of repeat ticket holders... so they shake it up, change the opening song, put in a nugget or two. Swapping coma out for a song like pretty tied up would take them 1-2hrs of work max... I know i could learn Pretty tied up in 20 mins and perform it tonight if I needed... and I get MUCH less money for a gig Pretty tied up is a far better choice for a deep cut, it pleases the die hards but it also has a chorus that anyone can shout along to. Coma is a lot of hardcore fans favourite song, but for a lot of people that aren't huge guns fans it's just way too damn long and monotonous... I hold my judgement on what it's like to hear it live as i haven't been to a show yet... maybe it's great when you're there in person... If it's anything like watching the videos I trail off about 4/5 mins in... and it sounds like the audience does too, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin82 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think the set will stay the same maybe 1 or 2 swaps nothing major its IF & WHEN there is a 2nd leg of this tour people will be wanting changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBucky Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think the US shows will be almost the same as last year since they're hitting cities they haven't played yet. A few changes here and there would be a nice surprise. Just play some of the songs that were on the alternate setlist last tour...JUST DON'T DROP COMA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bloody dumb to suggest taking it out of the set. Why even have a concert at that point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Coma and hope they keep or in for now, but they have a whole catalog of songs besides that one that are kinda good and all, that may be why there's a concert at al as opposed to just coma.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you. I would never complain that they play it but replacing it with 2 or 3 other classics or even 1 other long classic would be cool once in awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Drop the seeker and add promise from slash. Axl would nail it vocally. it would be a fitting tribute to chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite being the same countries(U.S. and Canada), they will not play for the same audiences. They're just covering the cities they could not cover on that first leg. If anything changes, I think they will only change from Rock in Rio. I would think a decent chunk of the audience will be the same. People likely were concerned they wouldn't come back around so they traveled to see them. Living in St. Louis, I know people from here went to Kansas City, Chicago, or Nashville to see them last time. I drove to Dallas. I assume most of those people are now buying tickets for the St. Louis show. I am. I hope they change the set somewhat. If nothing else, to give the guys something fresh to play. They will have been playing this setlist for over a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure many other die-hards from around here are doing the same seeing as most hotels in the area are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Same. I will hear most of the stuff I have seen the last 13/14 times . And that's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 What is the hold up in including more Illusion era songs? Do they think fans don't want locomotive, pretty tied up, breakdown, dead horse, etc instead of the 45 minutes of cover songs they do? If they need to jam while Axl takes a breather, why not do the locomotive outro or an instrumental version of Perfect Crime instead of The Godfather theme? It's stuff like this which makes people bitch about the setlist... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it though, Axl will struggle on Don't Damn Me (which is a shame as its their most underated song imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly 1/3 of the show is pure bloat. Hence, the bitching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I don't have an issue with the covers for the most part.... I could do without Wish You Were Here and all the Fortus masturbation faces but it is the CD songs that are the killer... They should do one a night and rotate it. And it is a sin when they make it into the encore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
