Setlist for 2020


Recommended Posts

I don't even care if they add more songs. Them doing Coma nearly every night, plus adding Locomotive and Dead Horse here and there? Good by me. 

I just wish to hell they would change things up is all. Truly work without a setlist, don't just claim that you don't use a setlist. 

Walk out, open with whatever in the fuck you feel like and take it from there. At the very least, it'd be amazing to see them do a Crowes or Stripes thing and write the setlist 10 minutes before they go on stage. 

It would go a REALLY long way to take the stale feeling out of the whole show.

They said that don’t use a setlist? If true their absolutely full of crap 

I don’t even really have an issue with the setlist, my problem is more about wanting to hear new music (Hard School would’ve been a perfect start)

A few suggestions/pipe dreams for a show with some class instead of that fucking broadway revue...

 

Welcome To The Jungle - it's THE ultimate opener and just feels wasted anywhere else in the set

Mr. Brownstone

You Could Be Mine - play it early when the voice is warm but not tired yet

Paradise City - catching everyone off guard and bulding tension playing it so early and then Axl leaving the stage (!!!) for:

- Duff Solo - transitioning into (punk!) covers:

You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory

Attitude

Nice Boys (Axl is back...with Izzy!)

Down On The Farm

Civil War

Breakdown

Estranged/Locomotive/Coma (rotation)

- big ass Axl rant (blabber about the weather if it helps but please do these speeches again, it's not a real GNR show without em!)

Dead Horse

Better

- Slash solo going into:

Sweet Child O' Mine

Patience

 

Encore:

 

November Rain

- while piano is moved Axl introduces Steven Adler for the grande finale:

It's So Easy

Nightrain

Outta Get Me

Rocket Queen

 

Now that be a show I'd leave the house for. As for NITL of now - get the fuck outta here.

Axl used to say it back in the 90s. DJ said it a lot during his run and Fortus used to say it too. It's always been hilarious to me each time it gets said.

I fear the day GNR becomes (or goes back) to being the Rolling Stones, Metallica and others who do their standard 18 -20 song setlist and call it a night, we have been spoiled with these 25-30 song set lists, yea there are alot of covers and songs alot of people do not want to hear, but their shows always seem epic and I do not think anyone goes away disappointed

I'd prefer a great 2~ hour show over a bloated 3.5 hour show honestly... they could easily cut the set down to 'all killer no filler' and have a set that Axl can mostly sing well.

 

1. Welcome To The Jungle
2. It's So Easy
3. Mr Brownstone
4. Chinese Democracy
5. Double Talkin' Jive
6. Live And Let Die
7. Shadow Of Your Love
8. Slither
9. You Could Be Mine
10. So Fine
11. Down On The Farm
12. Locomotive (extended outro solo?)
13. Sweet Child O' Mine
14. November Rain
15. Dead Horse
16. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
17. Nightrain

Encore:
18. You Ain't The First
19. Patience
20. Paradise City

 

Throw in Wichita Lineman, Madagascar, Don't Cry, or maybe The Garden if they really want to extend the show.

that is never going to happen, if they ever go to the standard 20 song set list you can forget about hear alot of those songs ever again, I am guessing it is going to be a standard "greatest hits"/cover thing any maybe have a rotation for 1 or 2 "deep cuts"(DTJ,Coma, Locomotive, Dead Horse, Out to Get Me , My Michelle etc.) every show

I don't think that's a likely setlist, but it would be pretty much perfect for this line-up of the band. I wouldn't complain if they dropped RQ, Civil War, Estranged or Coma... but I'm sure plenty of other people would complain :lol:

Estranged is my favourite Guns song but the way they play it, I'd be ok with them resting it. TBH if Axl sang it better it would be a set highlight, but he just doesn't.

[O Fortuna from tape]

1. Nightrain - The 10 min long Jungle intro completely kills the mood, they need to start the show off like a train!

2. Mr. Brownstone

3. Live And Let Die

4. It's So Easy

5. Welcome To The Jungle

6. You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory / (Attitude / New Rose / Believe In Me) - Duff's solo spot

7. So Fine

8. Chinese Democracy

9. Estranged or This I Love or Madagascar or Prostitute or Locomotive

10. My Michelle 

11. Better or Think About You

12. Civil War or Estranged or Locomotive or Coma

Bring Couch Out, begin acoustic set

13. You Ain't The First

14. You're Crazy

15. Used To Love Her through Slash's solo, then start 14 Years at the third verse with the UTLH melody - Axl on lead for UTLH part, then shares it with Duff for the 14 Years part

16. I Was Only Joking / Patience

17. Madagascar or Promise or Starlight or Saint Is A Sinner Too - Slash's solo stuff needs love too

18. November Rain - Skin N' Bones version

Back to Electric

19. Out Ta Get Me

20. Slash Guitar Solo / Sweet Child O' Mine

21. Shadow Of Your Love

22. Dead Horse

23. Hard School

 

Encore:

24. Anxious Disease or War Pigs or Slither or Coma

25. Knockin' On Heavens Door (shortened version)

26. Paradise City

 

I left a lot of alternate options in the set, to be picked and chosen as the band pleases. Throw some Axl rants in there too, pissed off Axl needs to stay off of Twitter and firmly on stage

I would.. I think COMA has run its course but I would still never mind them playing it. I just don't see ho any Guns fan wouldn't want to see Estranged, Rocket Queen or Civil War.. Those are 3 of the bands all time greatest songs.. I am always blown away when I see stuff like that.  Excluding TSI the band only released 50 songs back in the day.  I would assume that if fans are that into them that they are still posting on a forum in 2019 that you liked almost all of their classic catalog. I literally loved/liked every song they released prior to TSI and still do!

His voice just is what it is these days.. I think he sounds good on most of it but Mickey's some of it. That is the case with almost every song they play though these days. For me that is offset by Slash's guitar and the Piano parts.  Estranged is always a highlight for me.

They don't have an issue with the ISE lyrics because of that ridiculous bullshit Duff made up last year about how they were joking. 

Thats right, i remember duff being a pussy and  distancing himself from the lyrics as if he really wanted to say "i didnt right those  lyrics so dont judge me".

I can't hear it as anything but a collective. I enjoy Slash's parts, and the piano is still excellent... but when I hear Mickey singing about jumping in the river, it just doesn't do it for me. Some songs the Mickey is ok, others it just doesn't work... well not for me at least. He is grand right up to "When I find out all the reasons" onwards, the verses before that are Axl singing in his low voice, which! he can still do in his sleep. It's just lacking power more than anything, it's a really hollow vocal, hitting all the notes, holding them but the body just isn't there. And I'm not talking about rasp, the original studio version isn't actually that raspy; that came in the live versions. I don't mind his clean voice, but it needs more power. It's almost completely unrecognisable if you AB it with the studio voice.

RQ and Civil War just don't sound very good most of the time now, same with Estranged even tho Slash almost saves that one. But if they were gonna alter the setlist I wouldn't mind them dropping or swapping those. I'd say drop YCBM too but they kinda have to keep that one. The album versions of those songs are great but the current live performances? Nah. They could do a really great 2.5 hour set but it wouldn't include those songs, IMO.

There have definitely been times when watching the youtube videos that I will shut it off due to his voice.. But then other times that I enjoy the whole thing.  Never an issue while at the actual show though. I am singing along and too into it to give a fuck \m/

Oh I agree, at the show I'm all in! singing and helping the auld fella out! 

It's not bad all the time, but the really good versions are slimmer on the ground, but as you said it's not exclusive to Estranged.... as fi that's to make GNR fans feel better about all of this :rofl-lol:
