GnR fans be cray

I nearly spit my coffee out reading this... GnR fans are really preposterous.... 

Totally agree! 

But i think thats what makes the GN'R universe so interesting. Everyone has an opinion.

I will be on the 0.01% of fans that would love to see them drop SCOM for Shackler's Revenge, but i am fully aware knowing that a huge portion of the audience go because they will get to hear that song, so I'm happy to hear it if that means there are more GN'R concerts i get to see.

Drop

this I love: very weak from 2011

november rain: speeded up without sense 

sorry: another weak song

KOHD: boring and extremely long

the seeker, black hole sun and all the covers

add:

you re crazy- think about you - Madagascar (permanently) street of dreams and that’s it... less songs for play all the rest in the right tempo

    1. Move Patience to acoustic section
    2. Add Dead Horse and You're Crazy
  5. Add in a few more Appetite and UYI songs
    1. Add Out Ta Get Me, Think About You and Locomotive.

 

Proposed Setlist:

Encore:

This version spreads out the ballads which clog, adds more deep cuts, keeps some great CD tracks in and honestly ends the main set in the best way possible imho.

Unless Axl gets his shit together, they should just go home.

Jungle, Sweet Child, Nov Rain, YCBM, Paradise, Better, Civil War, Yesterdays, Coma, TIL all sound terrible vocally.

IMO currently Axl does great job in Better, he uses his clean voice, then deep voice in chorus and some raspy screams.

Not huge on seeing LALD or KOHD anymore, but I am fully aware that the casual fans know this song so there is no way they get dropped.


Realistically, would like to see BHS, Wichita, Seeker and WYWH dropped. They add very little to the set in my opinion now. BHS sounds good fun but i think its relevance and potency is now past its sell-by date. 

On the flip side, would love to see them bring back in more CD. Seen GNR 13 times and still have never seen TWAT, Prostitute, Catcher...

I really wish they'd make KOHD lean and mean again. It's been growing and growing since the UYI Tour and it's just a labor to sit through now.

Out ta get me and Nice boys should sound much more often in my opinion.

Also they should considerer more songs as "as secundaries" in order to give some variety to the set lists, or play them instead of covers such as black hole sun, wichita or the seeker. For examplo UYI stuff: Pretty tied up, bad obsession, so fine with duff should be great!! or down on the farm.

I would also play Rocket Queen normally and wouldn't do it so long! or play "it tastes good, don't it?" but that's dreaming too much lol

Fully agree. Have noticed since NITL as this song is normally 2:30-3:00 into the show that after all the jumping around earlier in the set that I’m actually yawning during this.

The thing about LALD and KOHD is that the audience at the shows really eats them up, and those songs play well into the overall stadium environment. 

I never really cared much for LALD studio cut relative to their other big hits, but the crowd goes wild when they play that song.

I get that the covers are probably a bit of a break for Axl (Wichita Lineman for example is much less intensive on his vocals), not to mention they probably enjoy not playing all their hits back to back to back, but I definitely wouldn't mind a couple less covers/solos and a couple more original tunes.
