    They must be really bored playing the (almost) exact set every show for two years.

    IDK, If you ask a teacher if he does not get tired of giving the same class for decades he will probably respond by saying that the content of his classes can be the same but the students change, the context changes and every class is as it were the first time because it renews the purpose of teaching and that is what gives you the pleasure and motivation to continue teaching without becoming tedious. So if, in due proportion, we translate this to what a musician does, we ask him if he does not tire of playing the same songs for years and years and years ... We would probably have a response very similar to that of the teacher. It may be exactly the same setlist for decades, but it changes the audience, changes the context, and feels the energy of the people there on the show, watching them entertain themselves is likely to rule out any chance of boredom.

  2. If I’m not mistaken, Stuart works w/4 Beta in a restaurant and Amy sometimes is around..In that 2014 Vegas residence she was in the backstage at some shows and some Axl’s party after show too..

    If mick jagger can still do a stones tour at 70 and be totally into it on stage, axl has no excuse. Even if the band do have backup singers, mick always has plenty of enthusisam and his voice is still good.

    You can perfectly compare passion and enthusiasm, I can not argue against it. But you can not compare the voices, they are different types of voices. The voice we so much demand from Axl is the same voice that destroys his throat. Mick has no “angry rasp”. We can a little bit compare Axl  w Brian Johnson but still, Johnson’s rasp it’s not that “angry”..And look at him w AC/DC before that ears problem..Sorry but rasp has expiration date, guys!

    Listened to this probably 4-5 times since last night and I haven't done that with a post 2016 video as of yet. I think It must be the crowd participation that makes It special. GREAT crowd.

     

     

    Wowww..I can’t recall any other time that the audience has sung together in NR that way. Has this ever happened before? Pretty cool actually!!

    I get the frustration about the setlist, but those People haven't been able to see them on this tour yet. And they have to bring the show that comes with the current tour I guess. I mean a few changes happend since 2016 but the most is the set they live by

    I'm sorry, but the fact that 99% of the people who paid for tickets have not yet seen this show is irrelevant. They need to shape the setlist thinking of those who do not go to the shows, those who watch the shows for free over the internet, over the years. Simple like that!

    I just wish he was comfortable enough admit he looks and sounds like shit and do something about it.. Then be comfortable enough to admit his backing band sucks and do something about that.

    Maybe quitting wishing what and how other people should think and express themselves would make your journey on this planet less painful. Even being an idol of yours. To admit that it is no longer working for you is perhaps the only thing that is within your reach. There's a lot of pain in you, just let it go buddy :thumbsup:

    If people would stop going to the concerts, then the revenu would drop. Financially they would be forced to change how they handle their business. They would need to excite/motivate the fanbase (by releasing new material, or at least do something different). 

    Comparing numbers of tickets sold, the fanbase is insignificant, the ones that complete the stadiums are the casual fans and unfortunately they give a fuck to this kinda of things like setlist and Axl’s voice (at the show we know is not that bad). Hard-core fans are a very very little fraction of the force that move this tour. All GNR hard-core fans in the world can’t fullfill an arena, IMO.
