soon Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Wish Slash didn't quit and had been on CD, thus making it a "real" guns album. But he had important artistic staments to make in Slashes Blues Ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Cavalerra Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Relax, they're playing Sorry rn, if somehow Prostitute made it, its probably just same as TWAT or Sorry, became rotating song to fill 4 CDs song quota per show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'd easily pay $200 for a ticket to see Guns playing the chinese democracy album from start to finish. And besides a few surprise cameos from Josh Freese to Robin Finck, Chris Pitman, at the end of the show, we will get to hear The General with a full blown orchestra. How awesome is that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about as awesome as contracting a disease of the genitalia. I think you are living in the wrong era. Do you know that we had this era which lasted approximately from 2000 - 2014; you may have liked it; it had all these people like DJ Ashba floating around? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If The World sounds more like a Bond song. I think I even remember Axl saying something like it was their attempt at writing a "cheesy Bond song" or something to that effect. I actually used to like when they'd do the Fortus Bond solo, If The World, and Live And Let Die all together in the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I just like the fact that Guns N' Roses was once a band with three guitars. It's not entirely a Dj Ashba thing, sure he wasn't exactly the right guy to replace Robin. 13 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: I think you are living in the wrong era.

I consider them GNR songs too like a lot of people on this forum. I'm not saying there aren't ANY people who want to hear CD songs, I'm just saying the vast majority of people who purchase a ticket with hard earned money don't want to hear axl's solo songs. and the band should respect that. 50 minutes ago, Silent Jay said: I just like the fact that Guns N' Roses was once a band with three guitars.

Gilby toured the uyi records and then they broke up essentially... they didn't play again until April 2016 where fortus was playing izzy's parts instead of gilby. axl's solo tours behind CD weren't gnr... no matter what the lawyers and Team Yes may have sold you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every CD song on rotation in the place of TIL would be very sweet. Prostitute outro is mesmerizing. I don't get people's aversion to TIL. It was written by Axl during the UYI era, so by going with the twisted logic of some members here, it is more deserving to be on stage. I like TIL and think Axl performs it consistently well. I would rather Prostitute replace The Seeker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that difficult for people to sit through the CD songs if they don't want to hear them. It's like 3 or 4 songs out of a 24 song set.

I base my comments on what has happened before, comments from current and past members and past employees... you base your rational on nothing but conspiracy and large amounts of misinformation which you pass off as fact... somebody is drinking something, but it isn't the kool aid. You're basing your comments on what Axl said (who has zero credibility) and what Richard supposeably. I've never heard either one say anything about Axl singing whatever Slash or anyone else wanted to play....and that's what you said. As I said, it's pure speculation....and you have provided zero proof or evidence to support that is a fact, it's pure speculation. We can keep discussing this all you want, but PM me if that's what you want, I'm done speculating in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not there three I've been to at least. I haven't seen it either aside from the title track. That one seems to go over well in the 3 slot but the rest of the songs not so much... I actually had a friend that left the last Foxboro show because they were playing too much. That wasn't the only reason.. He gets up at like 4am and it was a Tuesday night an hour away from home. But he did say that they started playing too much CD and that's when he decided to bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't give a rats ass if they play Locomotive or Prostitute, cause they don't know either song. There are probably 100 times more people on the audience that know songs like Locomotive over prostitute.. atleast.. And that isn't saying that the majority will know Locomotive.. 3 hours ago, Silent Jay said: I like The Seeker, it's one of the rare times when we get to see a glimpse of true Axl. Great vocals, angry, ironic and stuff. But yes, Slither could work during the encore, I think. They should swap Slither and the Seeker each night.

Half the shows they play ZERO songs from LIES.... 4 is already way too many and I think peopel are getting less patient with that crap because they are putting is much effort in to learning more songs while ignoring classics people would love to hear. I'd be happy if they put some effort into learning Rocket Queen.. I just watched the one from the other night and it still sounds like a Monkey fucking a football... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The songs belong in the setlist, and I'm one of the few who think the more the merrier. I got to see the last performance of Prostitute in 2014 and it was fucking awesome, honestly as far as personal GNR concert moments go it's only topped by Coma from the first Vegas show. 6 minutes ago, Tom-Ass said: There are probably 100 times more people on the audience that know songs like Locomotive over prostitute.. atleast.. And that isn't saying that the majority will know Locomotive.. I doubt it. I'd say there's probably an equal amount of people who know Locomotive as would know any given CD song. But either way, they wouldn't be playing one of those songs for the average joe who only knows the hits, so it doesn't matter very much IMO.

A lot of people owned Use Your Illusions back in the day.. CD not so much... I went literally knew about 30 friends/family that went to the Foxboro show and I bet not more than 2 knows prostitute or any other song off that album.. I grew up with these people and I know most of them know Locomotive. At very least they would recognize the song if they didn't know the title.. These shows are loaded with people that used to be into Guns N' Roses back in the day. They weren't filling Stadiums during the CD era.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
