ITW 2012 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 How many new songs do you think Axl will play at Rock in Rio? I think he'll play at least two, but I'm hoping for three. Would be pretty sweet to finally hear The General or Atlas Shrugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoM Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think he will play two new songs or zero new songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunns5 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'd love them to go into the general from the general intro they've used throughout the tour.The whole crowd would be goin "WtF" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 It would be anticlimactic for them not to play new songs. And the event just seems to mean so much to Axl. I think it'll be a fantastic show. I expect he'll give a few heartfelt speeches too. Do you know if the Jawsesque intro music they play is also part of The General?

Changes Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Would the main part of the huge audience really notice if a new song was played or would they just figure it was something off of CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman007 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I say none, and I would be fine with that. If they do play something new, awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'd love them to go into the general from the general intro they've used throughout the tour.The whole crowd would be goin "WtF"I doubt the "whole crowd" is familiar with the intros being played on shows in 2010, nor the existence of a song called "the general", and I even doubt the whole crowd would know that The General, if it was played, was a new song and not just one of the CD songs, so I doubt they would go "WFT" at all. They'd probably just patiently wait for November Rain or Paradise City to start. I guess 0 new songs will be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that.Remember this is South America, the place where Bumblefoot, DJ Ashba and Frank Ferrer get stalked at their hotel and called by their names.I suppose these fans have heard Chinese Democracy.

And some of them again would be excited enough about that to experience a wft moment.It is easy to project our thoughts and emotions unto the casual festival goers.

Powerage5 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I expect none. But I hope they play like - 2 new songs! + TWAT and Estranged I really hope they do play TWAT more often. It was KILLER in Hamilton last year, more people really deserve to hear it live.I don't expect any new songs, but if we get any, I'll be happy. I would expect a couple older songs making it back in maybe. I really hope they bring back Think About You, it's one of my top 5 to see live.

Let And Let Live Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Not expecting anything new but very much hoping so.Would like to hear There was a Time and If the World, Prostitute would be killer, along with Estranged or Riad.

2x4 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'm thinking a big fat zero for new tunes, however I think we will probably get something that hasn't been played since the UYI tour or a cover of something we haven't heard Guns play yet.
