gnr=axl Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 A crowd of thousands of people who wanted to see him play PC isn't good enough to determine him to play it?What would have cost him?7 minutes of his life?They don't have to perform any of the songs that they do, they could of gone on stage and simply yodelled(sp) for 2 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droezle Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Does anyone know what he actually said about the album?After Better Axl said:"I know we're not supposed to talk about it, but that was a song from our forthcoming album."That's what I have a problem with, if even Axl can't talk about it.. who can?Maybe Axl was joking about some stuff he readed over the net.

Auri~rubigo Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 The forthcoming album...but did he say when?''We're not allowed to speak about this'' <-----lie LIE LIE LIE LIE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wando Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 A crowd of thousands of people who wanted to see him play PC isn't good enough to determine him to play it?What would have cost him?7 minutes of his life?He must have had his reasons, if you've seen him perform you know how much he loves doing it. IMO, there a lot of things Axl should clear but not playing PC on one single gig does not belong to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'd be pissed with that. Granted, he isn't required to play Paradise City, but Madagacar is, shal I say, anti-climactic as a closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaypayton Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 he could play any damn song he wants...if he ended the show without paradise city that doesnt mean he left the stage..it means the show ended...the Chili Peppers just played a show the other night where they did not play under the bridge and give it away for the 1st time in 15 years......bands get sick of playing the same shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxballer Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 it was dark and raining here in portland all day and night...he was probably too depressed to sing a happy song.that and the crowd was pretty lackluster, except all the girls who kept flashing titty.

GabrielsChains Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Jeez, I dunno guys... Maybe he and Merck just realized that people were onto their "Selling Concerts On the Promise Of Chinese Democracy Even Though There Is No Chinese Democracy Coming Out" schtick (and as always, realizing it about 3 months after the fact), and decided to throw everybody a bone to keep the tour from dying.Sometimes the simple answer is the correct one. But it sure is great to see how desperate everyone is -- Axl winds you up and you just go-go-go. "OMG THIS MUST BE IT CHINESE DEMOCRACY IS NOW I KNOW BECAUSE HE SAID THE SAME VAGUE WORDING AS THE HARLEY AD!!! !LOL!!!!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilljoyX Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Three reasons come to mind as to the quote:-New Fans - We've all heard how the new songs have been generally greeted with a lukewarm reception at best, with perhaps the majority of the audience having never heard them before. It's an introduction from Axl to a new song, basically.-A Shot At The Internet - With everything gone quiet on the album front and it looking increasingly unlikely that there will be no release this year, Axl may just be trying to stir things up again and take a shot at the recent forum 'strike' on a GNR fansite by mentioning the album.-Promotion for the album? - No 'Paradise City' meant that Axl finished the set with a song from the new album. The mention of the album also indicates that a release is still on the cards for the near future.Either way, it's a pretty interesting development.Those seem less likely to me than this--there is something to the rumors about a fight with the label about releasing the new album. While they are working that out, either by negotiating, legal action, or otherwise, Axl (and Merck) aren't supposed to discuss CD. But Axl decided to break the rules a little last night.But it's all just gross speculation. (As usual.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASLayerAODsk Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 instead of typing the same songs over and over and over as is the case most nights with the exception of one song maybe 2, why dont you just say 'same setlist as last night and the night before, but they played *insert song title here* as well right after *insert song name here*'? cause they NEVER change it up for the most part...they played dotf in edmonton but not calgary, YAY big change blah.

Are you saying he is lazy because he doesn't change the setlist? The fact that he goes up there and plays a two hour + show everynight isn't enough, you want a custom setlist every night?...

Spoon87 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 After Better, he mentions that he's learned that he's supposed to say things like "that's a song from our forthcoming album...".So, what did he really say?

Auri~rubigo Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah.He said he was working on other songs for the album so we wanna hear them.Unless we have to wait 3-4 years for Axie to make them that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASLayerAODsk Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 well..i was at the calgary and edmonton show..and you know the difference between the two other than the one song they played differently? the crowd. edmonton was FAR more into the show for the first 45 mins than calgary was...but thats also asking a lot too at 2am i dunno. maybe the album is like 'chinese democracy' and will never happen...who knows? but even during their earlier tours*199x*..look at the setlists...and compare them to now....
