The Black Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Garden of Eden was my favorite song as a kid, I'd kill to hear that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riot Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'd certainly prefer to hear this band do "Locomotive" moreso than Civil War and Oh My God, but I don't ever see that as an option. I'd like to hear Oh My God first I think, mainly because Slash is playing Civil War and playing it fairly well. Definitely top 3 GNR songs for me, but we haven't heard a good live version of Oh My God yet and I think this group could do it.one thing is sure, the band would sound better than the old one on locomotive.

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Fuck Civil War.We want Coma!Quick thought: If they do "Civil War", will Axl to the whistling live, or will it be pre-recorded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 People can't make petitions and complain about the setlist all the time, 'cause it loses credibility. The Estranged campaign worked 'cause it was a first. If a Civil War, an Oh My God and a Pretty Tied Up Campaing all appear at once, or even one shortly after the other, it'll completely lose credibility. Fans need to unite and decide, then do another campaign, and it's still not the time for it.What do you mean its not the time for? The tour is over at the end of the month, this is exactly when you campaign; Estranged got the beginning of the tour, whatever we campaign for now gets the end.It's still not the time. People should start this in between this and the next tour. Chances they'll pay attention to a campaign while on tour, and having just added Estranged by request to the setlist are small. While on hold 'till their concert in Poland, that's the time. They have plenty of time to rehearse too.They already have these songs rehearsed - you saw the setlist of options they've posted, no?Yeah, but I mean for Civil War. It's not like they'll rehearse it on the middle of the tour. Those they have already rehearsed are ok to request but not Civil War, Yesterdays, Pretty Tied Up, not yet.

Dean Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 the band recorded Live and Let Die when they heard that a DJ at a radio station thought the song was overplayed and wished it would go away, and with Axl loving the song, thought it'd be appropriate for Guns to release there version, and I'm sure he still feels the same when he plays it live. It's a quality song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakestar Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I heard Civil war on Thursday...broken down in parts...Either they are working on it for this tour, or the band members really think that they will be in for the long long long haul.and before you ask it was WICKED.

ITW 2012 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 This isn't a campaign. DJ talked about Civil War during a live stream thing he did yesterday. He made it sound like the band has rehearsed it at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Slash sounded pretty sloppy on all the little licks on the recording and I think Bumble could play them awesome, as long as they're not mindless shreds.What concerns me is the tone. They'll play it tight, but the end tone/feel is really important. It's something I haven't seen them get right in Estranged yet, despite playing that well. I would have liked to see Finck do it.And the band will always have to play the classics. The problem is that they're playing some of the wrong classics right now. Live and Let Die? I wouldn't care if they took that out and added nothing, honestly. Edited December 4, 2011 by DaneisKing1389 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Linguini Occurrence Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I don't begrudge Axl playing the old hits but it would be refreshing if he mixed in a few more rarely played ChiDem songs or UYI songs to keep things fresh and ditch the cover songs for the hardcore fans who support the band............Axl has stated they play the covers because it gets him pumped up, so they do it for him more than for the crowd. However, the fans obviously benefit indirectly because an energized Axl = a better show. Hey whatever works for him, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 mainly because Slash is playing Civil War and playing it fairly well.I don't think this is a real problem though. Look at how well this band plays Estranged, a song with "Slash" written all over it. I think they could pull off Civil War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that I'm currently hearing Civil War live done by a pretty solid group. I'd love to hear GN'R do it again, but I'd rather hear songs I'm not currently hearing.

Apollo Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Classic and bobbo....we actually agree for the most part on this.The "milking the old bands success" just painted a bad picture. I think one album in a decade is ridiculous. And it has been three years with CD....if we don't have enough to put out a new album soon, then do some sort of special release to fill up the waiting period. A dvd and the best leftovers from the CD sessions. I would do that as soon as this tour is over. And them release a new album, by this band, within a year. Do not make the fans wait 2-3 more years for another album.I would hope the next tour will feature new songs. I have to fly to a different city, so if they tour in 2012 without new material....I won't be attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 As much as I like CW too, I reckon it'd be much more interesting to introduce at least one new song in the making - come on Axl with more than (new) 60 songs out it shouldn't be that hard...

Aussiegun Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Songs they'll be playing for ever and ever- SCOM- WTTJ - PC- Nightrain- NR- YCBM- KOHDand maybe ISE, Patience and DCNo reason why they cant do those 10 every night and rotate the rest of the catalogue.

Tyler Drama Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Songs they'll be playing for ever and ever- WTTFWhat does this stand for...And as for those worried about GNR going on tour after their next long break for a few years and not playing any new songs when they come back, think about it this way.In 2001/2002, we got Chinese Democracy, Madagascar, "The Blues", Riad N' The Bedouins, and Silkworms.In 2006/2007, we got There Was A Time, Better, and IRS.In 2009/2010/2011, we got If The World, Sorry, Scraped, Catcher In The Rye, Prostitute, This I Love, and Shackler's Revenge (And who knows what else is to come)After a long break, GNR will always come back with never-before-played, post-1994 material. And since all of the Chinese Democracy songs have already been played live, it will have to be new! Edited December 4, 2011 by GNRSkidRow1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the GNR catalogue gets larger, it's becoming difficult trying to figure out sometimes whether we are talking about Paradise City or Perfect Crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
