What's a girl gotta do to get Street of Dreams played??! PLEASE, just ONCE. I sincerely doubt you'll ever see Slash play on that song. I'd be cool with hearing it, I just don't think it'll ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea who it's about, but I would love to hear it with Slash. To me, it always sounded like the most GNR song on CD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gunsdrummer63 Posted October 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2017 So my review from last night: I brought a friend who is a huge AC/DC fan and saw them live once. He only knew the bigger hits. I love the CD album and it was cool to see slash try prostitute. He nailed it. Axl sounds ALOT better live then the videos on youtube thats for sure. He seems to be really enjoying himself up there. Smiling dancing around and interacting with the crowd. After used to love her, he shared a story about him and Izzy writing the song back in the day. A nice little touch. This was was my first ever GNR show and was blown away. the 80s and 90s shows must have been killer. Slash was amazing stealing the show. i'd pay $100 just to watch slash play by himself for 2-3 hours. He was having so much fun up there. They went on at 7:45 and ended at 11:25. That's crazy for a band that's almost 60. Honoring Whole Lot of Rosie was also a nice touch. While i may have watched several live streams and looked at the setlist after every show this tour I didn't mind some of the predictability. It might be annoying for people that see 3 or more shows on the tour but for everyone else it should be fine. People seemed to not care for the CD songs which is too bad. He sings most of the illusion songs with his clean voice but its usually very powerful. Its a great album especially now tat slash is playing the songs. Axl seems to bring more when he sings those songs vs the illusion ones. Tempo seems to be getting a bit better too. They don't seem to be rushing through songs as they did in the past. Frank has to go though. He just doesn't fit the band. Fortus is a great guitarist but would probably be better playing lead somewhere else. Overall i was blown away and my friend left a GNR fan. I hope these guys can actually write and release new stuff before its too late. They have a good thing going and it would be a shame if they let it go to waste. Especially with all the starts dying young these days. Who knows how much longer they have left on this earth. Would highly recommend this arena tour to any first timer and to anyone who hasn't seen them during the NITLT. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I will say that the performance of Prostitute had Axl sounding the most like he has on a studio version of a song the entire tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to me is probably more about slash then street of dreams is Just now, lukigol said: oh man, Jungle sounds so strong You don't even know.

smoke Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I really love CD anyways, but the more stuff I see Slash perform, the more I hear how it fits in the the GNR catalog. Awesome chops - I also want to hear him tackle Riad and Shacklers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear his take on it too, I just don't think it'll ever happen. I'm with you on that - Street of Dreams is all about Slash. ^^ I'd still like to hear them play it though. I believe Sorry references Slash, even if it's not about him in its entirety. The whole album references Slash, here and there, imo. N.B. I thought Axl didn't like The Blues as a title? Didn't he say he changed his mind because it didn't suit the song? I thought that was from a chat on here, or am I imaging that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear his take on it too, I just don't think it'll ever happen. I agree with most of your opinions, and don't even deny "Street of Dreams"/"The Blues" could be about Slash, but - as others have pointed out - the general public seems to view "Sorry" as being more directly about Slash, and they have played that a few times. We'll get "Street of Dreams" at some point when Axl feels ready for it. I mean just look at the timeline regarding this lineup and Chinese Democracy until now... January 2016: The band officially announces Slash and Duff rejoined the group. MyGNR Board: They aren't going to play any Chinese Democracy songs April 2016: Troubadour and Vegas shows: Band plays "Chinese Democracy," "Better," and "This I Love." MyGNR Board: Ok, they might play some of the staples of the album, but we surely won't hear anymore songs from this album. April 2016-August 2016: Mexico and North American stadium tour: band plays "There was a Time," "Catcher in the Rye," and "Sorry." MyGNR Board: Ok, we DEFINITELY won't hear anymore from this album. October 2017: Band plays "Madagascar," "Prostitute," and makes "There was a Time" a more consistent song in the set list. This is not supposed to be cheeky, just to be shown that Axl clearly considers these songs on equal footing with older Guns N' Roses material and nothing seems to be off the table. I consider nothing an impossibility, but the songs that would truly surprise me would be "Shackler's Revenge" (very different from anything Slash has played before) and "Riad n' the Bedouins" (only because this has not been played since 2002, and was only played occasionally then). Who knows, "Shackler's Revenge" may not even be that long of a shot since we saw Duff play it in 2014 .
