    What I will say is that they need to get rid of Wichita Lineman, because it's a horrible cover, and Absurd, which is just a horrible horrible song. Two decades of this absolute garbage of a song haunting me jesus christ lol

    I actually like WL.. Axl sounds great on it and I like teh little acoustic jam.. Absurd on the other hand soudl disappear from existence.

    I'm not sure why people think tuning the songs down will work. they already play in half step. you're talking D or C# and then not only that singing it baritone. You won't even recognise the song. I think what people mean is Axl should sing an Octave lower without the band changing tunings. To keep him out of that mid range which he has completely lost. 

    exactly

    Exactly! tune the facking thing down... help yourself out. He doesn't need to sing in his low voice, but he could sing in a different key up high and still sound good. 

    I didn't mean that.. They already tune down 1/2 step... I'd rather him just sing in his low voice and if he is having a good night bust out his high voice..

    Most bands use the same set list night and out on tours, true and that's all good. But most bands change it up after a leg or so. AC/DC they play the same set for the entire tour, but next time you see them it's a guarantee they will have shaken up the order of the songs, come up with a new entrance song/video/stage set. They also have the good sense to go away.

    A lot of bands including Alice cooper, have a few different songs that they rotate for the opening songs. 

    Of course the staples of any bands set have to stay in order to keep people happy, nothing wrong that! just keep it interesting, keep adding songs, keep shuffling the orders, just have a master list and call the songs then and there (like they say they do).

    AC/DC certainly don't switch up the set as much as GnR do.. Maybe the opening song but they change 2 or 3 songs a tour and play that same set every fucking night just like every other band.  Every Time I have seen Guns there are several songs that they didn't play the prior show. I have seen 4 reunion shows and if I saw them the other night I would have seen them play NINE songs that I hadn't seen yet..  Never mind the different intros to songs and Slash solos that changes.. AC/DC and Alice Cooper also play like 15 songs not 25 - 32.  Alice also doesn't rotate teh opening songs during a tour. I have seen him around 20 times..

    Nah it would be a shame and disappointing. I’d rather him attempt to sing it correctly and struggle than just give up and tune down.

    Working on adjustments to try and make it not sound embarrasing is giving up? That is what most gaing singers do.. Giving up is just sayingt fuck it I will continue to sound embarrasing

    Facts on Metallica's new album: 

    72 Seasons debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard 200, selling 146,000 copies in the first week with 134,000 coming from pure album sales; this marked the band's twelfth album to chart in the top 10.[48]

    The album debuted at number-one in 20 different countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

    Number One in 20 countries doesn't seem like much of a 'flop' to me......

    72 Seasons definaetely isn't a flop.. The massive tour to support it just started too.

    Time's moved on, sure. Metallica aren't the hottest new band anymore. Tastes change. 

    I'm not sure what the debate here is? That Metallica don't sell as many albums as they did in the 80s? Of course they don't. But their albums certainly don't flop. 

    And while not they hottest band they are still arguabley the biggest band.  HardRock/Metal band anyway.

    Yeah, Team Brazil's total lack of promotion for Absurd and Hard Skool is what killed them. Hard Skool got a half-arsed lyric video a month or so after release, which was about all the promotion it got. 

    If either of the singles had actually been promoted properly, they could've had more success. 

    A new Guns N Roses album would be pretty successful if it were promoted properly by actual professionals. 

    I just don't think the general public cares about old demos with new guitar and bassd tracks pasted on them using 25 year old vocals.. It is avbsolutely ridiculous. I don't know anyone outside of this forum that didn't think them same.  Then there is the fcat that the songs kind of sucked compared to their past catalopg.

    I thing 98% of the audience would have loved it if Slash had played some inspired solos to those songs...

    Now you sound ike a child just arguing for the sake of arguing..  You are high if you think 98% of the audience even knows those CD songs.. It is probably closer to 10% with most not giving a fuck about the solos or how inspiring Slash is during them. He is fine.. It is just the same 5 people that have been regurgittaing the same crap for 7 years now.
