I'd rather have Facebook Live stutter and drop out than do this speed up/slow down thing. I get that it works when someone is live talking to camera but I wish there was an option to turn it off.

Predicting a Catcher tonight. Axl seems to remember that one exists around the time he remembers Sorry does.

Just curious, has a show/tour playing all of Appetite ever been discussed by any Axl or any band member? It seems like something they could pull of super easily and would market super well, especially if they didn't hold themselves to playing it front to back and scattered it through the set like they do now.

Apparently 11/23/23 is the date in which the gap between TSI and CD will be smaller than the gap between CD and CD2. Let the countdown begin!

I think the nostalgia of ISE has worn off, I'd love to see a new opener on the NA Tour.

Does this thread need some album tracklist predictions to get it back on topic because don’t tempt me!

I was thinking about it.  Probably one of my least favorite songs, but have they played IRS with Duff/Slash yet?  I don’t think so right?

Shackler's, If the World, Scraped, IRS, and Riad all haven't been played by Slash/Duff but everything else has!

I'd love to hear Duff sing Going Down with the Axl backups a la So Fine.

I'm waiting for a Messi guy to appear and do the exact opposite of Pele (like in real life one would be legit and the other one a fraud lol just joking 🇧🇷)

Perfect, I've been trying to figure out what persona to take on here

I've been doing my research on the ChiDem sessions (thanks everyone for providing resources) and after going through the history and what has & hasn't leaked, I'm surprised how many people think so few songs have vocals. It seems like there's years of sessions that had very little leaked from compared to the Village Sessions.

If (big if) an actual full LP happens that isn't backed with live tracks or re-recordings of songs, I'm betting there's going to be a new Duff song that's entirely disconnected from the rest of the album.

Why would they soundcheck just that piece though? Wouldn't that come just directly from the tape in any case?

The tape was played at soundcheck. First time it's resurfaced since the reunion I believe.

I have to imagine this is what the forums were like circa 2006.

Sorry that this isn't 100% on topic, but is there a good resource for learning more about the ChiDem sessions, the track selection, etc? I'm a long time casual fan, newer hardcore fan and have always been fascinated by what the fanbase knew in 1996-2007 about the album. I know Atlas was swapped for Catcher pretty late in the game, but I'm curious how much was known about the other unreleased songs at the time. Was everyone expecting Perhaps, Hardskool, etc to appear on an album? Were some songs brand new knowledge when the album dropped?

At this point aren’t they the longest tenured lineup of GNR?

Did the Hard Skool live b-sides ever pop up online anywhere? I wondered how decent those turned out.

People really want this Axl on live record?!! Im a HUGE Axl fan but his live performances cant be published…come on guys!!!

I would spend good money on 87-93 live performances and even 2002/2006 but the rest doesnt do Axls legacy justice 

For the right songs absolutely. DTJ has been super rad and some of the jams they've been doing are worthy of proper release somewhere. Wichita can be a snoozer live but there are versions I love listening to from 2017. Also working under the assumption they'd touch them up in classic GNR live fashion.

The "new studio album?" to "maybe an official version of Wichita Lineman?" pipeline

I'd take a Lies-esque new album with 5-6 "new" studio songs and 5-6 live takes provided they are not like those soundboards they put out on YouTube.

Watch me post this and then they announce something at Thursday at 4pm. But I've noticed the trend for the last couple years has been Monday-Wednesday announcements for most of the bigger, established bands, followed by additional promo/announcements/merch/etc on the Friday. On Spotify and Apple Music (probably other services too, not sure), Release Radar playlists of new music from the last week drops on Fridays. A lot of bands have been moving to a system where they announce songs early in the week and gather a lot of organic plays from the big fans, so the song already has some traction when it's promoted to more casual fans, or maybe people who don't even listen to GNR but listen to a lot of rock. Foo's, Metallica, and Chili's all took that strategy. For instance, Lux Aeterna already had over a million plays by Friday when Metallica released it on the Monday, and it didn't hit playlists auto-generated for users until the Friday of that week.

Why do we think Duff doesn’t Do say “so fine” or “new rose” or something from the catalog?

Didn’t they do So Fine once at the Covid shows and then never again?

A whole set of downtuned GNR would lose energy, but a song or two in a lower tuning (like YCBM) would tighten up the overall quality of a set so much.

Absurd seems like a blast live for anyone, lyrics aside. I can’t wait to see it this Summer.

This has to be the first time brownstone was not played

 

Second since 1993!

Frank is nearly a bigger problem for this band than Mickey. Brain coming back would kick Axl into shape and tighten up the entire group so much.
