UseYourDemocracyIII Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This would be nice to have, at least to tide us over till the new album releases in 2032. How would that list look to you location wise? I'm anticipating a lot of Cincinnati and Houston entries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourDemocracyIII Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 I'd also prefer it if they spliced in Frank's drumming from this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just pick the best songs from the Houston and Arlington 2016 shows and call it "Live From Texas". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Locomotive would be gone and a few others I imagine. Houston 2016 version of Coma >>>> any other NITL performance of Coma or Locomotive. And it's not like they need 5 songs on a live album that would take up almost an hour. (Coma, Estranged, Nov Rain and KOHD are enough 'epics' for a live album...) Who cares if fans in the rest of the world feel 'left out'? I wasn't at any of the shows they've played in Texas, but if they were to release a live album, it's better to take songs from a few consistently good shows instead of trying to showcase the whole tour, IMO. At most, they could compile an album from the first US 2016 stadium run. I honestly couldn't care less if Slither, Shadow, Madagascar or whatever else they've added since 2017 isn't included on a live album.

Probably in the minority but I wouldn't mind Wichita Lineman on there either. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that your suggestion would be better suited to a Blu-ray release rather than a live album.

Wichita Lineman is a highlight of the current set, and Shadow and Locomotive would be cool, but they'd be kind of unnecessary on a live album. Maybe included as bonus tracks or something (like Coma on Live Era '87-93), but they should cut as much fat as possible from a live release... cut it down to 2 discs and basically have it be the 2016 setlist without the jams and solos. OTGM, My Michelle and 2016 Coma > Shadow, Slither and Locomotive, IMO. 26 minutes ago, UseYourDemocracyIII said: I think that your suggestion would be better suited to a Blu-ray release rather than a live album. Live Era is all about what was achieved over time True... but Axl hasn't sounded too good for a lot of shows on the tour, so it's kind of better to have a 'snapshot' instead of a very inconsistent sounding album.

IncitingChaos Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I was at the Texas shows and I agree you could make a compelling Blu Ray or CD out of those. But I got bored and watched the entire DC show from 2016..it was amazing (delete this if YouTube links are bad) but it’s crazy the DC was probably considered mediocre for 2016 and yet watching it now shows how incredible those shows were. No boots for Axl! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl is super consistent and sounds pretty fantastic for modern Axl. Busting tons of moves and never out of breath. Crowd is great... didn’t seem like there were any flow killing CD deep cuts...YCBM is raspy... band seems to be vibing (that Better intro thing is cool for that, even if I don’t like that actual song haha)... its the whole package. Seems to standout compared to the NITL shows I’ve seen! Edited October 19, 2019 by Ant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Only if they also did Live Era 2000-2006, with Bucket, the '06 European shows etc. That's really the only era that didn't get a live release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first leg they were killing it on flow for that first hour, now it feels like there’s too many moments that take you out of it! And really cool to see Axl in a flannel haha Edited October 19, 2019 by IncitingChaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 If it’s anything like the last one, it won’t matter what shows they pick. You’ll barely recognise them from the actual performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourDemocracyIII Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Live Era '00 - '20 would be fucking IMMENSE! They'd have to boxset that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 How about live in 2016 instead? There are not enough solid vocal performances (in my opinion) to make a new 'Live Era' using anything fron 2017 onwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I don't really see how this would "tide us over". It's tedious hearing the same songs released again and again, just in a different way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJRemastered98 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 One show that would also give great live versions is 09.04.2016 show in Vegas. Axl was crazy there. I believe that they could make even a 4 CD release with a live version for every song that they played. San Diego 2017 has great versions as well.

Ninjapie24 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I don’t know why people want a short live release. I want as many songs as they can fucking fit on there. Every song they played on the tour and the best version of that song. Include all the CD songs (Catcher, Madagascar, Sorry, TWAT, Prostitute) Locomotive, Shadow, WL, the AC/DC covers, fuck even the one time they played Nice Boys. I know most of the songs were on the Forum gig in ‘17 but I want the best versions of the songs. One live album so far is pitiful for a rock band that kills it so often live. If you look throughout their career, Dream Theater has released a live album after every couple studio albums. The setlist for the live albums were completely different too so you could hear songs you hadn’t heard before live, and that’s not even mentioning the “bootlegs” Portnoy released. That is how you treat your fans right with live material and I wish GNR would do something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
