From the periscope that I was watching (until OTGM that is, before it died on me and I went for my workout) Axl sounded great, I have no complaints. Nobody saw his ex wife.

It's maybe boring for us that knows what the setlist is gonna look, but it's defenitely not boring to those 99% of people at the show. And I doubt that it's boring for that 1% of people that knows everything.

There's no real "deep cuts" with GNR at this point unless the casual fan's first album was the greatest hits.

Popular Post SEPTEM Posted July 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2016 did anybody noticed the axl/slash thing right before TIL last verse?? It was kind'a " you killed this one dude, nah u did, no you, we both". It was an honest, magical, hugely IMPORTANT and MUTUAL gesture that shows how healthy/respectfull/chill/cool/mature/FRIENDLY are things on this Guns N' Roses inside world. BY THE WAY, this i love was beyond wonderfull. For me was the most perfect, acurate, right, artistic performance ever of this song.. Axl did PERFECT memorable, the band on point.., and slash.. Ohh u son of a b... For me last night was the MOST PERFECT/INSIDEFULL/DEEP til solo ever. Im pretty sure they both noticed each others performances and thats why they did those "outta boy" reverences . I didnt, but i was about to drop a few tears when a saw that.

dcon Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Last night was my fourth show this tour and Axl seemed the most animated and confident I've seen yet. Never thought I'd say this but I find myself looking forward to This I Love now and they crushed it last night. Also for the setlist - I'm always up for more changes personally (in a greedy way), but it seems like I've had someone by me each night cheer in excited disbelief when Coma starts. So I think the setlist is still pretty cool for most. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEACE You mean this one, right? I couldn't find a better video where we can see Slash's reaction... It's great to see such gestures, it says more about chemistry and mutual respect than anything else Btw. I never liked This I Love, not even during the April shows, but the last month has made a huge difference and I still don't like this song. I love it! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be hard to spontaneously change songs with so many pieces and parts. They're at the venues working songs out instead of being holed up in their hotel rooms. There's also going to be enough of a break in between legs of the tour that the setlist will probably change over time. Some songs are set in stone though.

Frankly I don't know how they did it on the UYI tour, Gilby had to learn every single song when he came in, on the chance they'd call an audible on the night.

lemonhead Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I am new here, but have been a fan since the '91 riot show in St. Louis. I saw them live 4 times in 1991-1992. I totally get both sides of the set list argument. My problem with it is that for the last couple shows, they haven't played Sorry or Catcher, and they didn't replace it with another song, so essentially, they've shortened the show. When you cut out the fluff, they are really only playing about 18 GNR songs. Also, way too many covers for a band with this great of a catalogue. Either way, I will be there on Sunday night in New Orleans and I am beyond excited to see the greatest band of all time in concert once again.

Amir Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Yeah, after the Toronto show my mate told me he had a great time, but thought the set was a couple of songs too long at 2 hours 45 mins; it can get pretty tiring for people at the show. I'd say it's just about the sweet spot for me; I find the 90-120 min concerts most bands do to be on the short side, and the 3 hour plus Springsteen gigs I went to were fantastic but draining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince was pretty famous for that on his tours, he'd call pretty much any song and the band had to have it down tight no matter what it was. Although in recent years with 3RD Eyed Girl they pretty much just played the hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annablue Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Anyone watch David Padilla's periscope? at one point someone posted in the comments "mygnrforum practice ritual annihilation" or something close. curious if there's more to that...but I find it fun anyone refers to this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 As far as the setlist goes I think we can see how the rest of the tour will go. We shouldn't expect a surprise at this point. Part of it is they are in America, I think the setlist for this part of the tour wanted to be safe and stick with the hits. Kinda a "let's get this thing started right" Deep cuts may not be as impactful here as they would be in let's say South America. In April the only big setlist chances took place when they played Yesterday's and There Was A Time in Mexico. So i dont see them reaching too deep into the catalogue until the SA tour. They can take chances there and the audience will be right there with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 wow! I haven't been watching videos of the last few shows but wtf! Axl at the end is amazing. Those strong chest vocals are there, the power is back, and as some have pointed out his body language shows confidence like we haven't seen in 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 much better PC except the awful intro vocals but I thought Axl was going to run off the catwalk at 5:48...he was moving for a 54 year old 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibidy7 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 They have mixed It up more than a lot of major acts and more then they did on the UYI tour. This comment is just plain ridiculous. Go look at the setlists for the UYI shows. They opened with different songs all the time, played songs at completely different times throughout the show. There isn't even a comparison. that band at that time was unique night to night. Now we get the corporate"movie" every night. I've seen 5 shows and I haven't watched a single periscope feed. I understand the fact most people don't go to multiple shows, but don't you people who think it's ridiculous to complain about the setlists, think it would be cool to see an actual organic experience instead of a canned production ?

I was actually around and attended shows on the UYI tour and no the setlist did not change all that much. What does rotating the same songs In the setlist have to do with playing different songs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl really sings it beautifully. Specially the last line "I'll never say goodbye". He just delivers that with wonderful vocals. That's like really good singing right there.

sibidy7 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It doesn't. It has to do with spontaneity. And also, look at the setlists. They may have not changed at your shows but they were more varied than what is happening now. For me it's about seeing a performance versus a production .
