This. I went to 4 shows of the reunion so i heard Slash n Duff takes on the regular Chinese's songs. I like Chinese though so i don't mind a few of them on the setlist and not just that, Chinese should be played every show but with 3/4 songs is enough. I wasn't Even born in 1992 so there are a lot of songs of that era that i've never heard live and i'm afraid i won't either. Dead Horse (maybe this one i Will )/ Pretty tied up / Bad Obsession / The garden / You ain't the first/ Nice boys . But being fair they changed the setlist enough through this years and there aren't many songs left to play. I would like to hear IRS from this line up too. And maybe is an unpopular opinion but i really like TSI and they never played that shit. Why play Wichita Linesman or The seeker (for 10 years now) instead of Black Leather/Down on the farm. 

All things considered I’m in the same boat born 1983 but think about where we were in 2010. No Estranged, no Don’t Cry. Certainly no Coma or Locomotive. I can go without ever seeing UYi fillers like Pretty tied up and Bad Obsession played. I think we’ll live

so why didn't you stay at home?

3.5hr show. I was there for a good 2.25hr of it. 2 & a quarter not bad lol😛

i’ll take the long show with all the deep cuts and numerous piss break opportunities over the 2hr greatest hits show any day

I took piss, smoke & dinner breaks during these songs: KOHD, Rocket Queen, The Seeker, Slash solo and considered stepping out during Shadow & You’re CraZy but the latter was especially good live

Did GNR really go on just after 8?  If so, how?  I thought the show was scheduled for 7.  Did Wolfgang play for 20 minutes?

30mins or so. I couldn’t believe the quick turnaround. GNR WENT ON 8pm sharp played til almost 11:30!

He said that people come to him and say “Axl, I’m feeling down, and I make them feel better. I sprinkle a little Ray of pitch black on their lives. That’s what I do.”

Yea he Said he’s like Bob Ross. The happy little tree painter😛

There was chatter of Down By The Ocean being used, which was an Izzy penned number from the '96 sessions I believe.

Yea that’s the kinda thing I’m looking forward to. Maybe it’s too late to ding into those Izzy VR songs Matt made reference too. Maybe we will hear them someday 

Any chance we see Izzy’s footprints on this record. It can be the difference between a great rock record vs a timeless classic like AFD/UYi.

Im not good at pulling up old stories and we’ve discussed it over the years. I’m referring to the period when Izzy was in VR and they wrote all those songs. Matt said there were 10 songs there that would make a classic GN’R record.

Also the songs Duff was working on with Izzy while Slash was out doing SMKC. Just before the reunion happened in 2014/15 

Any realistic possibility or is it too much for the cash cow that is current gnr to have to split royalties with Izzy? It would be great. Izzy could make make a few live appearances without being a full member. Let Steven play on a few classic gnr sounding songs that he can help elevate etc

Obviously Izzy played a vital role in the classic gnr sound we all love.  His interplay with Slash. How he allowed the songs to breathe. His memorable hooks, rhythm & melodies is exactly what has been missing from Slash & duffs work over the years. I love VR but the songs for the most part were too straightforward and punk. However, Weiland saved that band with his creativity. VR would’ve tanked without him.

Well they got rid of the long drawn out unnecessary intro right? So makes sense it be shorter

This song with Izzy & Adler would be gnr. Right now it’s VR with Axl which isn’t a terrible thing

The school bell makes me think of Saved By the Bell lol

English is not my native tongue. So, what does "Hard School" means? It is like a hard lesson to learn or something like that?

Yes pretty much. Like live if hard and teaches you tough lessons. School is hard but you come out of it a better tougher person. Better prepared to face the world

Yea the drum sound is terrible. Especially noticeable in the middle part. The typical muffled snare sound we are used to hearing these days. I can envision what this song would sound like with a more explosive drum track.
