A few new songs, a new setlist and yep, it's business time!

Ok ....buzz kill.....is there any chance this could not be a setlist and something different? Just trying to keep my hopes in check here.....

I thought the same, yeah......

'Down On The Street - Duff solo spot', maybe?

Down On The Street cover? Duff rehearsed that last tour so would make sense.....

This looks very promising. If true, I wonder why this leg is finally the point they change things round? That's baffling in itself!

"I was there and he sounded great, those videos aren't right" "Everyone around me was having a great time" "Best time I've ever seen them" "Slash was on fire" "Axl's vocals were as good as 2006, if not better" "I took my five year old son/three year old daughter/elderly mother/mentally unstable cousin twice removed and was so proud to see them smiling and tapping along to "turn around bitch I got a use for you." A real family moment". mixed with.... "Absolutely dismal, pack it up now" "This is horrific" "Slash looks like he fell asleep with boredom" "Axl sounds like he's dying" "Frank should be hung, drawn and quartered and replaced with a metronome" Bring it on!

I'd put Bad Apples as my second least favourite GNR song, after My World. Always used to fast-forward through it on my cassette. Any sniff of anything new yet, or is that a bonkers question?

There's been no real gain in any of the stuff people have made up the years though. I'm maybe being overly cynical here....but I've been at GNR gigs and heard people say 'this must be a new song' about 'Estranged', so I never entirely trust people's knowledge of GNR songs! Ah, if multiple people are saying it, then fair enough.

This 'played at soundcheck' stuff seems to be coming from one guy on Facebook right? Not saying he's not reliable.....but, you know, it's one guy on Facebook. And we've heard all sorts of nonsense over the years.

Not sure on that one....but Fortus recently said it, which means he's trolling, a liar, or absolutely out of his mind.

Well, there's "no setlist" according to Fortus, so who knows that might happen?!

Yep. Always has been.....but without wishing to go too far down the setlist debate avenue, there really is no reason whatsoever they couldn't shake it all up. But, hey, who knows? Perhaps it will happen this tour.....

Yeah, crazy idea that a band may change their set. Wild. Nobody wants that.

I know it would represent something slightly different but I think it's kind of sad that people are excited about them maybe playing PTU. It shows how low expectations have got that playing one different ancient song could be greeted like that. Now if it's a whole new set.....ok.

The lithos are always interesting. The best thing that comes out of them touring now I'd say.

They still doing lithos? Hope it's in rainbow colours. With skeletons,of course. F'N skeletons.

You can have an overpriced shirt in luminous green. And that's your lot.

That setlist was discussed in another thread- it's old (from the last leg).

No, I think it was wife mentioning something. I really wouldn't read too much into it all.

Would be an odd thing for me to make up! One of them is a member here @WildStar. A few of you got refunds for the London shows being really shit, right?

I know people who did actually manage to get refunds for the last London shows because they were so bad. Not strictly related to the setlist choice of course, and they did have to pester Ticketmaster a bit to put their point across that the show absolutely wasn't acceptable.

Don't know how they get away with it as other festivals definitely can't, but Glastonbury finish times can often overrun, so I wouldn't be surprised if they just do their usual set length.

I think we'll just leave "if you are the type who have to flaunt being gay all the time" sitting there. I'd love to know what a "flaunting gay type" is..... Anyway, we should probably move on from this enlightening chat and get back on topic. So.....any new info on the tour anyone?

Oh no, no. I couldn't possibly. I always find your valiant knight defence of GNR against the maurading naysayers very endearing.
