I agree they should play more songs from Chinese and beyond, but a Guns show is not really a Guns show without WTTJ, SCOM, Paradise City, YCBM, Nightrain, Brownstone, November Rain, etc..

Faxl Rows Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Muse do this thing where they have a giant roulette wheel on the main screen and it 'chooses' one of two songs. Maybe Guns nick it for these two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Love both of those tunes but I can't imagine Axl nowadays doing them justice, although I would rather the band take a risk rather than doing the same ol' thing night after night.

wasted Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Locomotive Axl could just stand at the mic with some strobe lights, it's almost an instrumental with Axl babbling along. It's all in one range. Breakdown I think the music would carry it, when the piano comes in is so epic and Axl doesn't have to sing over a barrage or anything. On the chorus a couple could sing backing vocals.I've seen them do Shackler's and sound like the album version, they can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Its more like something U2 would do, they played 3 of No Line before playing crowd pleasers. Edited January 19, 2014 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 For us GNR nerds or whatever it would definitely be cool, not cool for Joe Six Pack (who I can only assume heavily outnumbers "us" at GNR concerts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Interesting choices but I'd much prefer "Pretty tied up" and "Yesterdays" the third song being a brand new song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 OUt of the old ones, keeping Coma and Locomotive out of the question due to their difficulty, Pretty Tied Up, Double Talkin Jive, Yesterdays, Breakdown and Dead Horse would be good choices.

Estranged Reality Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Wouldn't mind hearing either song played, but I'd still like to hear them pull out Yesterdays.That song features some of Axl's grittiest, throat-iest vocal performances, so I'm not sure what it would sound like nowadays. I noticed it's one of the only tracks he didn't even ATTEMPT to re-do his vocals on for Live Era, which indicates to me maybe it's just not a song he can really pull off anymore. I'd still love to hear it played, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Breakdown is underrated and it would be nice to see it get some attention. Locomotive is a song I'll never understand the praise for, same with Coma. The riffs are completely flat, and there's not much Axl can do with the material he's given. Might be interesting to see Bumble try it in a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe somewhere like Brazil it would work or a festival, but a GNR show in some hockey arena in the midwest…do they have ice rinks in the midwest? imagine red necks beating each other up with ice skates. that's going to get ugly real fast.

Towelie Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I don't really see the problem with doing a song like Locomotive or Breakdown. They're about as well known as Estranged and certainly more well-known than any of the Chinese Democracy material.Vocally, I think they're both less taxing on the voice than Estranged. Well, put it this way, I can just about pull off Locomotive, but when I try the end of Estranged I sound like a dying cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Joe six pack. Yeah, it's fun typing it. I've seen a lot of those when Gn'R came here in 2012. Kept yelling "SLASH!!1" before the show. Really helped making the experience more genuine as a new Gn'R show.After the show those who yelled Slash said it was a great fucking show but they were really drunk so I don't know.
