Guns n' Roses - Glasgow SECC 25/05/12

[WhazUp]

you do have a point,but i fucking love GNR music!

So do I and I'd love to hear more but getting wound up about shows which you're not at is a bit pointless.

I'm not on here half as much as I used to partly because it was mostly just moaning about stuff.

The majority of fans at a Guns show will be there to hear the "hits" and will tolerate the handful of Chi Dem tracks that get played.

Most of the general ticket buying public would probably be put off a bit if they heard that the band were playing a lot of lesser played and new songs and in turn it could affect ticket sales.

If they're wary of putting newer material in the set at big shows I think a good idea would be if they did a short run of very low key shows in very small venues for the more hardcore type fan where they made it clear that they wanted to try out rarer tracks and new material in a live enviroment. Basically they'd know that people would be there and wanting to hear the new stuff compared to if they did it at a normal show and you'd just get some drunk mess shouting out "Sweet Child O' Mine" half way through.

i remember during the 90's on the illusions tour axl wasn't afraid to play new stuff. axl debut lots of new songs from the illusions. wasn't any drunk guys or girls yelling out sweet child o mine when axl was playing them for the first time in front of stadium crowds

Hell even in the early 2000's Axl wasn't afraid to bust out some new material, I am not sure why not now, especially after hearing how many songs were not on CD. If anything it could help the band gel on new material and try new things to get a better sense of where to go with the new record

[axl_on_drums]

I'm diggin the setlists from these shows, the only thing were missing is "Bad Apples"... and maybe "Coma"

Oh and DJ, Shut the fuck up, prick

[axl_on_drums]

I hope the models added to the show

sigh ohhhh Axl, let me count the ways.....

axl busted out chinese democracy, the blues, and madagascar. robin finck and buckethead played them brilliantly live. a few new songs in place of classics wouldn't hurt the show or ticket sales

[stumbleine]

hey,what exactly did DJ Ashba promise or hint at?

Absolutely, or even if they cut the AC/DC covers and added a couple of new tunes. I can only imagine how awesome that would be! Apparently it was a consideration last year when Going Down was a setlist option

[Eu4ic]

Fuck you DJ Tanner and the Olsen Twins.

[Naupis]

In 91 when they were playing new stuff they knew the album was coming out shortly.

In 02 I think they thought the album wasn't far off, not to mention it was an all new band and concept at that point so they had to have something of their own.

In 06 the leaks happened and again I think they thought they were close to a release.

This time around, there is no leaks, and they haven't even stepped into the studio as a band from what we know to start recording the next album.

Why would they play rerecorded versions of the buckethead/Finck stuff live when there is no release on the horizon, and for all we know those songs won't even be on the the next record if the band were to start recording from scratch with this line-up.

The past tours have always been about promoting whatever is upcoming. This is the first time really that they are just kind of touring to sell some tickets and make a few bucks without any further agenda in mind.

Regardless of what Axl says, they are not "touring the album in support of CD" anymore. When you start going back to markets for a second time within a year for tours with nothing new to promote it is just a business trip. Nothing wrong with that, but it is what it s. That is part of why we aren't seeing anything new, and shouldn't really expect to.

[Young_Gun]

DJ should seriously just shut up from now on... Get Robin back in the band. His solos were not cliche and he didn't run his mouth telling lies and getting fans hopes up.

Anyone who has been a fan of the band should know to disregard anything the members other than Axl say, as they have no power, no control, and know nothing. Hell, alot of times you can't even trust what Axl says, but at least he has the power to make something happen if he wanted so he is worth listening to.

Anyone who actually believes anything DJ says deserves the disappointment they get.

[SONOFABITCH]

I had this hot girl ask me out for tonight and I said "No, I can't make it. DJ hinted at a surprise at a concert over a thousand miles away from here."

What a waste of my night. My night, is ruined.

[Guest Gunns]

I miss Robin too, but I think that performance with the band a few months ago was a 1 off, Dj has probably learned already that this band doesn't operate like other ones he's been in, no matter how optimistic he portrays the situations to be.

Quite right. Still sucks though. He shouldn't say anything really. I'm starting to dislike him, not just for his big talk either...

[Damn_Smooth]

The biggest dumbass in the band ran his mouth off to get people's hopes up. Again.

What else is he supposed to do to help generate excitement for the same tour they have been doing for 6 years? Let people know that there is nothing new in the pipeline, and they should be prepared for another prolonged wait? THat is just not realistic.

Say nothing. I would gladly pay money to see this setlist every night that they play it if I was rich enough to do so. His stupid ass doesn't need to be running around making promises that won't be kept. It only leads to rightful negativity.

How many times has this moron been wrong about something new now? He promises something nearly every time he opens his mouth.

Just back from the show... I can't believe people are running their mouths about this new songs thing. I thought folk around here actually had brains enough to know that DJ hadn't singled Glasgow out as THE DATE OF ALL DATES TO PREMIER NEW MATERIAL. Scotland got a lot of songs it hadn't heard before tonight, and people fucking loved it.

I've not written a massive fucking review for a gig I've been to in the way I used to for a very long time... but I think I might do so with this show because it was extremely special to me. Crowd were great, the band were on fire... and I made my own wee mark on the setlist (which apparently no-one's listed). Ron played the national anthem at my request. I was quite the emotional wreck... but I told him that after the show.

Also, I have now met 7 members out of the 8, no prizes for guessing who eluded me!

[Silent Jay]

Just asked richard if new material has been recorded he said "maybe" but it was more of a yes.

fucking cool !

[Lucky girl]

Show over and now there is a parties with models?!

I would like to know what kind of music Axl dance in this party?

Finally!!! I have some restored faith in the European continent.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

[Guest Broskirose]

Glad To Be Here is amazing. I really didn't think it would work but the way they aranged it is INSANE. It's even kind of Franks solo spot too which is awesome.
