    To be honest: I am grateful that GNR are playing Wichita Lineman. Never heard of this song before but I am neither from the US or a country fan. I listened to the original version couple of days ago and I really love it! Great song! I think they started playing it because at the time Glen Campbell , the original singer, died. It is a great American tune!

    And I think Axl really showed balls singing this song because he knows exactly that his audience is mostly there for the usual 5 GNR hits.

    Which annoys me a bit. I wish Hardrock and GNR fans would be less conservative and and allow new Things to happen.It is so incredibly boring to ALWAYS Play the same songs..:blink:

     

    I used to always complain 'bout covers, however few months ago I checked Wichita and since then it has been one of the highlights for me. I'm from Finland so I had no idea who is Glen Campbell and never heard the original version before but it suits perfectly for Axl.

    If you'd take Riad, Scraped and If The World over Slither, Messages and Serial Killer then I can only assume you are mentally incapacitated. ;)

    IMO Riad and ITW are my favourite cuts from CD. I'm not trolling but I can honestly say it's actually the only GNR album without fillers, AFD and Illusion both have some bland rockers like Anything Goes or Dust N' Bones to mention few.

     

  3. It's clear that original lineup (or Matt) is what everybody wants but Steven couldn't do all songs and Matt isn't coming back so I'd like to bring Brain. I didn't choose Izzy 'cause I think this "hybridGuns" -thing is better than full reunion and playing whole Appetite + UYI-rockers every night. Nothing against Frank but he isn't the right drummer for GNR.

  4. As a younger fan I thought that having Estranged in the setlist would be a dream. I didn't expect that in few years Slash and Duff would be back in the band (and Pitman out), Axl would sing in AC/DC and record a new album with 'em and finally even witnessing they founding an airline before getting new GNR material.

  5. I have some friends who listen good music but for some reason don't like GNR or they are like: "Welcome to the Jungle is their only good song, rest of songs are shit." (never even heard other songs) I'd like to show them some songs from CD 'cause it has nothing to do with old Guns. But CD is so different and "strange" so I'm sure my friends would hate it so I don't even try. :lol:
