    You know, I don't mind people sharing their opinion - positive or negative - on Axls voice, band members or whatever else. That's the concept of a thread like this. What I don't understand is why people, who have already established and expressed their opinion multiple times, still feels the need to repeat it in every thread every night. Were you surprised Axl sounded weak on YCBM tonight when he did two night ago, and two nights before? It's no longer about expressing an opinion, it's about spreading negativity just for the sake of it and probably about proving your opinion right. It's getting boring and repetitive.

    Here is a damning statistic for you. 42% of the current setlist is either Chinese or a cover!

     

    In Bilbao they played 24 songs. 6 of those are from Chinese or a cover (Chinese, Better, This I Love, Sorry, Seeker, Black Hole Sun). That's 25%.

    Even if you add Attitude, Knocking and LALD to the list, it'd be a total of 37,5%. You can by definition call them covers, but the versions recorded and released by GNR are as popular/known as their respective originals. To me it's weird counting them as covers next to songs such as The Seeker, who virtually has nothing to do with GNR at all. But I can see why you do it to support your argument :thumbsup:

    And we're still not up to 42%, which means I'm missing something. Their 30 sec version cover of Johnny Thunders, perhaps?

    16 of these songs are still played regularly today. Yet they include Coma, My Michelle, Out to get me, Seeker and 4 CD songs regularly too. No, I dont understand the setlist complaints at all.

    Disregarding the fact that its a tribute and thats cool and stuff..... bring the Axl/DC voice for BHS or drop it, Axl's falsetto is weak on the song and he's out of key and tribute songs get press attention.

    But luckily tributes aren't done to get positive reviews or attention... I suppose this was a song they felt like doing, as a tribute to a friend who passed away. They deserve all the credit in the world for doing it, no matter how "off key" you may think he is.

    I really hate the idea of having to pay extra to get closer to the stage. It used to be a place for hardcore fans who got there early, and stood in line for hours before the doors opened. It was part of the experience. People where having a blast even before the doors opened and you met other fans. Now it's basically a place for people with who can afford it, fans or not. I truly hate the whole concept of a golden circle etc, but I do understand why they do it $.
