adamsapple Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not to get into a setlist discussion, but I was wondering why they never play some of their best songs in concert? I sure appreciate them doing Estranged and Coma, but I wouldn't mind some even deeper cuts. They have so many great original songs but they rarely ever play them! Like Breakdown, Catcher In The Rye, Locomotive, Prostitute, Dead Horse, The Garden, Sorry...I mean seriously that's some really good shit, much better than the covers they do every night. Do you think they don't like these songs anymore? Or maybe they are too hard for them to pull them off in concert? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjapie24 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I don’t know why bands only play some songs a few times if they’re fan favorites. Just play it in pro shot or in soundboard so they can get the song they want live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Most of the people in the audience are casual fans and they wanna hear the bands classics. There's not much room left if you sum up every classic song, cover and solo/instrumental. Edited June 16, 2018 by Sosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should do some more deep cuts or acoustic songs when they come back for a second or third leg of a tour. But i guess they try to please the majority of the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 People want the hits. Avenged Sevenfold let their fans pick the setlist for a leg of a tour one year and they all voted for the hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoop Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 People want hits but there's a lot of bloat in their set. Lots of stuff that could be cut/swapped out for other songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I understand the argument that they could replace the covers, but simply adding these songs in the set wouldn’t make sense, some are technically too difficult live, some aren’t loved by casuals, and there might be some emotional distachment since they were written. The one I don’t understand is dead horse. Such a great song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underhardy Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 GNR have tons of hits. Casual fans payed to hear these hits. When this question truly comes into play is the covers situation. They play like 7 covers a show, they could easily do a show with only one or 2 covers and deep cuts. But we’ll never know that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post James Bond Posted June 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2018 If the set was a lean and mean two hours with strictly the hits it would totally make sense to only stick with the hits, but if they’re going to bother with all the covers and 3+ hour sets it seems silly to not add in a few more originals. To me, something Slither is fair game but why is Black Hole Sun still around? That could easily become say a short rocker like Pretty Tied Up or Dead Horse. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walapino Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I wont complain about the setlist but its odd they dont play dont cry AND patience at every gig being both super popular singles, and they play covers like Wichita who nobody knows. they should swap the covers no the hit singles!

They could easily replace Black Hole Sun with Bad Obession. It would also be more suitable for Axl's voice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilAsh2015 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 From my perspective, the majority of the people who buy tickets are not the type of fans who go on message boards to discuss the band everyday. They expect to hear the songs they are familiar with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is't i refered , he not sing 14 years because he always sing this song with Izzy, i remember Izzy was the first vocal in 14 years and Axl as support of Izzy ,but is a beautiful song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
