ITG Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 From what I've surmised, Chinese Democracy and what comes with it has been a white elephant, especially in the United States, for longer than a decade. It represents to a lot of people why this band isn't Guns N' Roses. The band would be more palatable and attract a wider nostalgic audience if the songs were strictly from the classic era. The good news for the band is that it would no longer be burdened being the Chinese Democracy Tour, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Of The Blues Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 That wouldn't stop people from complaining over who is in the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsession Of Vanity Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The CD songs go tend to go over pretty well, actually.CD itself is well received, Better usually is, This I Love tends to get a shitton of applause. Songs like Catcher or Maddy might not be the most stimulating for the casuals, but with a ten minute KOHD, I think the finger needs to get pointed elsewhere. The Chinese material doesn't put off all the fans, it's the reason I became a fan. I knew Jungle and SCOM, sure, but I was an absolute casual when I went to their show in 2011. "Sorry" of all things is what won me over that night and I've been obsessed ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 They've been cut to the bare minimum of the show since late 2012. 4 little piss breaks gone missing probably won't be much of a game changer at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashisGOD Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Not much time for CD songs when you have 18 jams and solos. I'm surprised Frank doesn't get a drum solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I doubt there are many people whose decision to go to the show hinges on if he plays 3 CD songs or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War2k14 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Not much time for CD songs when you have 18 jams and solos. I'm surprised Frank doesn't get a drum solo.We can always hope for tomorrow. And if he does... Mother Goose Better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 No, it makes no difference... If Axl and o decided to go out and only play material from 2008 up (hypothetical is that they've released more material at this point... it's a hypotehtical) then a lot of people would be put off, it all depends on the band creating some hit songs, but you stiil have to play the hits Sweet Child, November, paradise,jungle, YCBM, KOHD otherwise it's financial suicide.

wasted Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 maybe. that's why they don't play as much CD in the US and do things like the Residency in Vegas. But around the world fans seem more open to CD material. Personally I think CD, Better, SOD, TIL, Catcher, TWAT, Sorry, IRS fit in pretty well to the set.

ohlovelyrita Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I can never tell if the OP is serious or baiting people. @Wasted - Usually I agree with you but the US audiences I saw did know CD. Overall other audiences are more excited for every song.US crowds are more sedate by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
