alaskagunner Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Would love to see this one played, but ill agree out of the album twat, catcher, and prostitute are most production oriented and probably harder to pull off. maybe they just need to do an acoustic set and get er done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You've got to love the first 4 posts after the thread opener.Haha!Would love to see the return of TWAT and Catcher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Pitman could do a 20 minute keyboard solo after TWAT and Catcher that segued into Prositutute. Then do Paradise City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe_teko Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 TWAT, Catcher and ProstituteSo sad they don't play those. I love Better and Madagascar, but those 3 songs are as good as these if not better.17 years to release a new album and then they don't play the best of it. Come on AXL!! Bring 'em back to the setlist!!I'd rather have them replace Sorry and TIL with these than take out Better n Mad At Nascar.Of course. Agree 100%I just saying that TWAT and the others were as good as Madagascar or Better. Of course they are way better than Sorry, TIL or Shackler'sJust an opinion. But still sad not to see those great songs in the setlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Twat high notes in 2010? Was it even played anywhere except Hamilton, of which we only have one really poor quality copy of? The Tokyo scream was awesome but the only time he's comfortably sang the verses was Hammerstein 12/05/06. It's obvious the reason they've rarely played Twat, Cathcher and Prostitute is because they're largely in his mid-range which is his weakest now and most times he's absolutely butchered them. The sad things is that it would take playing them over and over for the band to nail them but as with other great songs including Locomotive, we'll probably never ever get a perfect performance that's also perfectly recorded because they're so hard for Axl to sing he rarely does them whilst relatively less great tracks, say IRS, get the shit played out of them.

Jordan Rose Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Obviously, whether some of us hardcore fans like it or not, the shows are structured to please the widest audience possible but I fucking wish Axl would sometimes think like a fan, the way e.g. Springsteen does, and think 'Shit me, i'm having an absolutely amazing night vocally, here in Lille, France 2010, and that dude over there by the soundboard must be getting a great quality boot of the show. I know, i'll have a bash at Twat tonight, and maybe even Prostitute. Because it would be really sad if in decades to come there wasn't a great quality version of this song live. It is, after all, my favourite song and probably the best thing Bucket and I did together."If only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Pitman could do a 20 minute keyboard solo after TWAT and Catcher that segued into Prositutute. Then do Paradise City.Pitman should do a two hour solo of falling off his wobbly keyboard thing with the background vocals of Catcher where it kinda goes (WAAAHWAAAHOOOOOH) constantly looping.

RandallFlagg Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I like everything on ChiDem except Scraped, which has some good moments but is just all over the place. Catcher is probably the most intruiging for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fernomenoyde Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I vote TWAT!!! Great song and lyrics, can't wait to see/hear it live. New year's eve show could be a good oportinity to play it... and OMG too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I don't think he'd even consider trying to sing TWAT until he gets his 2010 voice back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- antem Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Why don't they play Catcher? It's relatively easy to sing, and no rasp required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donof Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm so excited for the NYE show! It would be the perfect setlist if they got rid of Sorry and added There Was a Time. That would be the perfect song to play at midnight and excite the true fans. It doesn't have to be exactly like the album! Anything close would be good enough I agree about the Cather in the Rye too. I love the end of that song..........and would like it if they replaced Sorry with that if TWAT isn't going to happen. Don't think I'm complaining because the setlist is amazing the way it is.

Powerage5 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Id love it also.But one song i want back is if the world. MAN that song sounded awesome live. Not even touched it since South america 2010. Not sure why :/This.If The World is the best live song from Chinese Democracy. It's awesome how they used to jam for a bit in the outro, they really should bring this one back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
