Gordon Comstock Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The predictability gets boring, yea. When I'm at a show, I love hearing them play the songs, but it's kinda boring when you're like "Yeah yeah, you been dancin', but get to Estranged!". Early 2010 was great, the setlists were done largely on the fly, the encores were like 6-8 songs per show, and there was random shit thrown in at most shows (Nice Boys, Liquor & Whores, Catcher, OTGM, etc). They closed the regular set in Saskatoon with PC even and did Nightrain last! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't care because I go to see GNR.I love every song they play live and they rock for me everytime.GNR songs are classics and how could you get sick of hearing them?I still listen to the cds and never tire of the songs and seeing Axl and GNR live is a wonderful experience. To me, I know what songs they will sing and there's no horrible surprises. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisrocks Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Totally agree. I mean, the guy is more intense standing perfectly still than most singers dancing around.Spontaneity, please. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblefeet Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I do wonder why Axl didn't feel inhibited to play new stuff in the pre-CD era, nowadays it is almost a rarity when he performs those songs, let alone new stuff; I know he probably feels like he has little to prove with this lineup, but I still say take the risk and try some stuff out!

jmapelian Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 it's the solo's, band jams and covers and the same songs in the same order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Agree, they need to change the order and the opening song. And Ashba's awful tone for Jungle. Sounds like it comes from a well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Axl's voice is excellent on the first 4-5 songs, then he gets into Better or Rocket Queen and he's hit or miss. So I'd like to see a complete performance first and then the setlist can be adjusted. But to me the performance is always #1 Edited February 3, 2014 by IncitingChaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught in a Coma Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The solos and spots where Axl isn't on stage take away from the energy of the show. People go to see Guns shows for the energy, well I think they used to anyway. But now with the solo spots, and sometimes the placement of ballads followed by solo spots make the show feel drawn out.

magisme Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Axl is a fat fuck who sings like Mickey having his balls squeezed by Minnie. He's a lunatic, too, who lives with his mom who is probably his wife, who used to be nanny to his girlfriend, whom he made go to the bathroom in a litter box.We can do dumb shit if you want to do dumb shit.

gunsguy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't attend every show so my opinion doesn't much matter. I understand that most people want to hear certain songs. If they went with the same setlist at least they could do is change it up a bit, start the show with you could be mine or something and randomly call out the songs on the list in a different order every night? That does not seem that hard, then again I don't have to perform it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumbleine Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 this is my main concern for this years touring.it's DISRESPETFUL to play CD.Jungle etc to the GNR fans.it's so boring and so little is invested by Axl that to pay 200 dollars to see the same show I sawin 2006(!!),we're in 2014,….no.if they added just a couple of songs the CD diehards love like TWAT,Prostitute,Shacklers revenge EVERY night so they know they will feel good.it's not enough for the "new"fans to only hear staples like Better and CD.for me,a total makeover of the show.new setlist,new stage,deep cuts we all love like Locomotive,PTU,Move to the city,Breakdown in a "new" version without the ending for example.I think new songs written and performed by Axl is something we might never see.he seems void of any inspiration.I don't think CD2 exists apart from a riff and a drum roll.Vegas will not happen for me unless there is a major change.

niceguy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The disconnect on thus forum is interesting, psychologically. 99% of the people buying tix for GNR are casual listeners who can't even name anyone in the band except for Axl. They don't wanna hear ChiDem. They wanna hear the classics. That's why I think it's hilarious when people here take Ron's threats seriously. No one gives a fuck about him, he's a no-name, a total non-entity who would make $30k annually from his own solo "career," and that's if he's lucky.

Apollo Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Could somebody find and post the video of a younger Axl saying he would hate to become the type of band that just tours their hits and old songs all the time, and that he is the type of guy who always has to push himself creatively as an artist.It really is laughable how some of you people defend Axl and the band. You are comparing apples to oranges in your non-stop attempts to defend everything he does.Yes, it's cool Axl is out touring.Concerts are fun and exciting to go to.Charging over a 100 bucks to see a tour that isn't evolving and that you've put on before........that isn't being a fan friendly band, that's just lining your pockets.If we had to choose - GnR keeps doing the same tours - or the band dies and Axl stops touring. Naturally 99% of us would choose the same old tours over and over.BUTIf you polled everybody who would be willing to spend $100 to go see GnR in 2014 and asked:Same set-list as the last time they came through your townorAdding three completely brand new songs - to go along with playing all the hits/staple songs.That is the QUESTION here. Not if you want to see Axl tour or if you want him to not tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
