Son Of A Gun

This song Madagascar I really don't like. Well...I think it's a good song...but for a band like Gn'R???? That is a fucking joke. If this song gets released on CD I think it will be the biggest joke of all. This song doesn't belong in a hard rock band.

They will have to play more new songs if they 're to survive. If Axl is stupid enough not to play any new songs then he is honestly either the biggest idiot, or just a spiteful asshole. MORE NEW SONGS AXL!!!!

what exactly does axl say at RAR at the end of Patience. I hear it as 'You metal god you, you metal godless you, godless man, godless man you'. Is this correct? Some funny shit though

Woah. Well that's a first....finally someone is covering the current Gn'R

Hopefully Axl will be recognised the way he is now and for the music he does now.

I think Axl's tactic of producing and releasing music is a bit unstable. He tends to do all the hard yards in one go, and then use that material for years worth of releases, occasionally tittering around with tracks he 's about to release on the next record, and when he releases it all he is back to the drawing board and takes a huge break from music. That is why old Gn'R broke up. What worries me is, he says now that he has 32 songs or so which he could release. So say if he adds another few, totalling to 3 albums worth...and gradually releases all the 3 albums within say 5 years, is he just gonna run out of steam again and disappear yet again?

This will be the official start of Chinese Democracy tour will it not? Which brings me to believe they will HAVE To play new material. In my opinion what I think they will be playing is...

Welcome To The Jungle

It's So Easy

Mr. Brownstone

Live And Let Die

Better

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

The Blues

You Could Be Mine

November Rain

My Michelle

Sweet Child O' Mine

Nightrain

IRS

Patience

Paradise City

Your typical setlist, but not necessarily in this order. That leaves room for 5 more new songs if you make it a 20 song setlist. So that would mean another 5 new songs, of which I only assume that the first 3 of those 5 will always be on the setlist, and 2 will change to concert so that altogether through the tour they play out 10/13 songs. This is just my speculation since I'm a setlist freak and I've been following Gn'R setlists so much. But I bet it will come pretty close to being almost the same as this.

No one ever told me when i was alone they just thought i'd know BATTER BATTER

That's: No one ever told me when I was alone they just thought I'd blow batter, batter

What is your list of favourite live songs performed by each hard rock band you like (please include old Gn'R not new Gn'R)? Mine would be...

AC/DC - Shoot To Thrill, Thunderstruck, Fire Your Guns, Heatseeker

Alice Cooper - Hey Stoopid

Guns N' Roses - You Could Be Mine, Double Talkin' Jive, It's So Easy, Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Iron Maiden - The Trooper, Fear Of The Dark

Judas Priest - Painkiller, Judas Rising, Riding On The Wind

Metallica - Master Of Puppets, Enter Sandman, Fuel

Motley Crue - Wild Side, Kickstart My Heart

Skid Row - Get The Fuck Out, Slave To The Grind, Psycho Love, Piece Of Me, Youth Gone Wild

I don't think they could really play them well. UYI songs are very intense, and you can see that by how they play November Rain and You Could Be Mine. Too out of place for them to play that. Only Gn'R could play them since they were the ones to write it, these guys play totally differently and a bit too differently unfortunately, to be able to play them any good. But that's just my opinion.

Anybody got an estimate of how much money Axl has nowadays?

nein chinese democracy till axl vants you to hev it!!!

hahahaha

Guns are weapons, roses are flowers. To me it 's a bunch of weapons and flowers put together

Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Matt

ever heard of Izzy and Gilby

Kannon.

Yeah but so much for Axl's perfectionism....

We all know Axl is working around the clock to launch this lineup as successfully as possible, at least for the most part. So what I don't understand is...when Chinese Democracy is going to be the first album of the new band, it is idiotic of Axl to reintroduce the world to the band with a guitarist (Buckethead, as his work, not Bumblefoot's is on the album) who is no longer in the band whilst a proper guitarist doesn't get introduced. To a lot of people it 's going to make them think Buckethead is in the band and wil be unhappy if he 's one of their main attractions for the new band (excluding Axl) and they go see a show to find he 's no longer in the band. And it won't give the world a clear view of what is the proper lineup of the band as it is now. It is a big mistake.

As we know Gn'R have successfully completed their European tour this year and really given the European fans something to talk about. When CD hits the shelves, do you think Gn'R will be able to kick off a stadium tour in Europe next year, I mean consider that they already did quite a few big venue shows already.

And take into consideration the quality of the RAR recording is 10x what the shitty webcast we got from Inland Invasion. Both amazing shows. I really think this band is getting better and better the more they play together.

Settled, same quality of playing but an appalling recording at Devore. Rock on :xmasssanta:

I listened to the Inland Invasion show and compared it to Rock Am Ring...disappointingly Inland Invasion sounds of extremely poor quality playing from the soundboard mix. A lot of US shows from 2002 also sounded very appalling in the soundboard mix. When you compare them to the European shows they are just really weak and mediocre but that 's at from the soundboard perspective. My question is to those people who went and saw for example Inland invasion, was how you heard it from the audience actually ass kicking and real powerful and did you find the soundboard version very different and weak compared to the real experience? I 'm sure that the band will play for the audience not for the soundboard or people at hte forums so I 'm assuming that it sounded much better in real?

could be in reference to that Axl already fucked Montreal over in 1992, as well as that he caused a riot in Vanvouver...now as a consequence they are being declined to play there.

i only also caught it from about IRS onwards or with a bit of nightrain too. Sounded pretty good. Drums could have sounded a bit better but somehow they 've always used less-good drums on the US tour for some reason. Overall great show, very adrenaline pumping. Anybody got the setlist?

i can't get this webcast to run smooth. anybody got ideas on how to fix it?

In regards to the previous post of mine asking about what kind of music people consider Gn'R to make, I think Gn'R are what Axl always wanted them to be - a perfect mix of everything... you got Robin who is from NIN, who moreso looks and plays emotionally & melodically like a 70s rocker, you got Tommy who is a punk, Richard who is an alternative and classic rock professional, Bumblefoot who is a 1990s/2000s virtuoso and shredder, Brain...a skilled alternative music drummer as a combination of Steven Adler & Matt Sorum minus the drugs and a very solid sound, Dizzy Reed...one of the most professional keyboardists, and Pittman?... good keyboardist and great sound designer & effectsman to say the least. And of course the head of the family...Axl, a legendary frontman who has specialised his musical career on writing superb ballads such as November Rain, Breakdown, The Blues, Catcher In The Rye & more whilst showing a genuine capability to also write more ballsy gutsy songs in the frame of It 's So Easy, Shotgun Blues, Chinese Democracy, IRS. He is an openminded man and will give every reasonable trend or style within the category of rock a fair go. All in all you get a very diverse band, combining classic 70s/80s rock, metal, alternative, punk, grunge, industrial, 1990s/2000s balladry, political scene rock....who know what else we could get.

Apparently Axl said that he does not wish to play songs of a 'dying band' reffering to Gn'R from the 90's.

how about just........... Rock?

That 's what I was thinking. I think we should close this threat please moderator, before we get unnecessary garbage.
