That's great! I take it back, then. I googled before and couldn't find any.

So it should be like Coachella, 2-3 songs best case scenario. Thanks for the links!

I'd bet on Jungle, something like Nightrain or November Rain (it would usually be SCOM, but perhaps GNR camp are not keen on that due to being Axl's weakest song currently - it wasn't streamed at Coachella), and Shadow, due to it being treated as """""new material"""

Let’s hope The Vault has some better tunes. 

I guess that's why they are in the vault

I think that OMG at least has the basis of a soild hard rock song.

If you strip away the effects and production and just had the band play it straight, structure wise it's not too different from some of the more aggressive Illlusions era stuff.

 

Silkworms sounds very of it's era though.

 

I hate both, tbh. Hopefully if Axl ever releases new stuff it's in a way different direction.

i'm so curious to discover what vibe axl is currently in

Touring, less bloated, in good mood, cracking jokes, counting them monies vibe.

It's absolutely mind boggling to me how would someone want Axl to perform this stuff at shows. I'd rather have a good old The Who cover, or a CD ballad. That's some weird stuff, I'd bet Axl is well past that vibe at this point.

My wallet wouldn't be ok with the kind of money they're asking, I mean I would still go but it would hurt. I can see Nick Cave for €47, and Judas Priest + Iron Maiden for a hundred.

Yeah, it's expensive. But I will say one thing: I went to the 2016 São Paulo show with some friends that are not hardcore fans - they are general rock fans, who attend loads of shows, ranging from Metallica to Paul McCartney, to Roger Waters and AC/DC. They like GNR but weren't even aware of CD's existence or that Axl actually left his house from 93 to 2016. If you check youtube, you wll see that Axl did allright that night, but within the lack of rasp, falsetto and all that.

All my friends were particularly blown away by the show, placing it above most gigs and ranking among the best they've ever been to. Axl in particular was deemed a highlight, and everybody was impressed with how much he had left, his range, power, screams and stage presence. So it's not like their product sucks.

Very odd songs. Silkworms sound nothing like GNR.

I guess it boils down to taste and tolerance. I still think he under-delivers and exploits his fans by asking for outrageous amounts of money. They've played this show so many times, one would expect them to have it down to a t.

Exploits his fans is harsh. He tries and puts a lot into his performances, it's easy to see that. He is trying to work with what he has left, and there are loads of videos, even recent soundboards that allow fans and consumers in general to make an informed decision regarding paying to attend a show or not.

Sure, it all sounds better than Berlin, but in the end it still sounds like an angry Micky Mouse.

I'd take an angry Mickey over a tame Mickey anyday.

Axl sounds better at this show than Berlin's.  Good for him.

Also he seemed less bloated, in a great mood and cracking jokes all the time.

Axl doesn’t appear to like the melodies on Slither haha 

overall he did decent on Slither especially after the solo, SOYL was pretty good! Could improve the beginning but it was good! 

The rest of the set is like 2017 and I hated 2017 vocals. 

I always like your opinions regarding Axl's vocals and tend to agree with them. I would agree that it was pretty much 2017 level all around, but I think it was more like mid-2017 (if there is such a thing lol). As in, it was stronger than the first few shows of 2017 in general. Perhaps if Axl keeps building on this he can reach something close to 2016, or at least 2016 after NA.

Axl starting to struggle.. hope this isn't a long encore

Voice cracked hard at the end of Don't Cry

If they are following the same set they have missed Witchita and Used to Love her. They might have been added in place of Coma in Berlin. 

Wichita has to go, really. By the look of things, Axl's perfomance and mood we might get some CD tracks like Madagascar and Prostitute.

100% this. So much THIS.

I'd even go on and say, Axl sounds strong for a second leg of tour. He sounds better than he did at the Troubadour, for what I saw from that. Better than he did at the start of every leg since 2011. It's a hell of a foundation to build on. Also Shadow shows us two things: his range is fine abd the reserves he draws from for those AC/DC performances seem to still be there. All is good with old Axl.

Are any streams still up?

He nailed, imo. Really nailed it. Axl's voice is doing just fine.

..full Goofy on Civil War

In berlin he pluto'ed YCBM

Can someone post the link, please?

Axl killed it a bit on the outro! Rasp and no problem reaching them notes.

As a starting point to a tour, Axl sounds allright. Decent point to build on, better than Sloan in 2017 imo, and better than 2014 in SA. He might sound great further into the tour.

Fears of Axl's vocal demise appear to have been premature friends....the redhead is still in the game 

He is. I mean, it's far from perfect, but I would even so far go on to say that tonight he sounds better than at the start of 2017. If he builds on this he might sound pretty good as the tour goes on

That's my pet hate I can never understand how people pay a fortune and the minute the band comes on they start going to the bar and the toilets

People drink industrial quantities of beer at these gigs.

Full mickey second part of Estranged is standart right?

Standard ever since it got back into the setlist, only one exception in Philly 2012.

Axl sounds ok so far, firmly into 2017 level.
