GNR123GNR456 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 "Same old, same old," as far as set-list goes but I highly doubt their doing the same set-list 12 nights in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I can't lie, after seeing the set list I have no interest in going.It's a cool show but I've seen it 5 times alreadyRight.The only reason I saw a show last year is because seeing "Estranged" live was on my bucket list.Short of a reunion or Axl's voice making a dramatic recovery to 2010 levels, I'm not seeing them live again.

James Bond Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 It's tempting to say the set list is disappointing, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt since it's the first show and things could easily pick up. All the same, each show could end up being exactly the same. Hard to say at this point, so I'm eagar to see how the next few go. Can't check out any of the videos right now since I'm at school but I'll do that tonight to hear how Axl's voice is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbgnr Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The thread that used to be here for people just to whine about the setlist was a good idea imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Is the set list any different tonight?We don't know because it hasn't happened yet. And probably not. Maybe a different cover song.With a normal band, I'd assume they'd HAVE to change the setlist at some point. 12 shows in the same city with the same setlist sounds like one of the worst ideas they could have. But it IS GN'R, so I wouldn't rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisRoyalSweetness Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 no, but demanding a band to build their set list around the wants of their few most obsessed, needy fans is an exercise in futility. you guys realize he's doing a month of vegas shows, right? whadda ya expect?

I think it does matter.I'm hardcore and I want to hear the hits as much as I'd like to hear say Catcher or Breakdown and though you can't please everyone every night, I don't see how one rules out the other? Please don't give me that "they play for the people who are there that night" argument because if you go on the internet and see them playing the same set every night, the urge for getting tickets to see them in person goes down, as at one point you've probably seen that show twice and then some already, hardcore or not.If they always play only the hits, the very mainstream audience they are catering to with that will always want Slash and in that never really appreciate what the current band has to offer. To those it will always be the next best thing as close at it gets, not the "real thing". That's sad but it's a fact even the most loyal nutswingers can't deny.And on the other hand, if they play to those very hardcore fans of the "new" band, those people will always want more. They will want Buckethead, they want The General, they want acoustic sets and a personal guitar lesson from Ron. You name it. But is it really such a burden to have hardcore fans or is it more of a gift they have fought and worked very hard for? Hardcore implies passion and dedication, I oppose to be refered to as some 2nd grade internet freak fan just because I can't afford to see every single concert in person. I'm a lot more into the band than those who still whine about Slash and are perfectly satified with partying to the greatest hits performed by what they call a cover band. To me it's a lot more than that, so I demand the right to want more without being pushed into the corner of false entitlement. I've seen that on the boards everytime whenever the setlist is being discussed and it's just wrong.To me it makes perfect sense to play Sweet Child, November Rain and stuff every single show. And it doesn't bother me the least if I don't get to hear Catcher or Breakdown ever. What pisses me off is that they play the same songs in exact the same way and sequence almost every night. No alternative arrangements, no memorable "only at MY show" gems, nothing. Every concert is more or less exactly the same, the only difference is Axl's voice ranging from utter crap on a bad day to the best rock voice in the planet on good days.They don't have to play Coma every night, but adding at least one or two roation slots to the set and not always playing the same sequence could spice up things dramatically already. They don't have to re-invent the wheel, they just have to be a bit more "tight but lose". Occassinal guests, bringing back Estranged or doing something like the Neil Young cover are good enough for me but that ever same Jungle/Easy/Brownstone sequence just doesn't even get me off my seat anymore when unlike the average "where's Slash?" mainstream fan I know the band has so much more to offer.
