Black Sabbath Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 outside of the 5 or 10 fans of New Guns N Roses on this board, I doubt anyone who pays money to see them at the Joint wants to hear a New Song, if Axl announces this is a New song we have been working on, most in the crowd will see that as a time to go to the bathroom"Look at me!

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The only reasons I could see him rehearsing:-Work on his voice-Work out a really long song they either haven't done before or in a long time (Coma, The General, TWAT)-Tonight's show is going to be taped for Blu Ray and they need to test lights/video/mics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 One low quality picture and suddenly everyone's happy of seeing Axl rehearsing with this fuckin' band. See Axl? It's not that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NachoLZ Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 seems like he's rehearsing with stage clothes, it would suck if its another cover or an old song, c'mon they bringed back civil war, estranged, used to love her and others, you say that the shows are making them look like a nostalgia show but you still want more old songs, lets make them add something new.

Any rock fan, at a GnR show, would appreciate a new song.I don't know, if people come for the classic hits then they might not appreciate songs they haven't heard before. It is a taxing thing with all those solos, CD songs and covers, adding brand new songs in addition might not be popular with that particular audience demographic. Of course you also have guys who would appreciate hearing new music even if they came for the classics. It is a complex thing. But I don't believe "any rock fan" would appreciate a new song within a 3 hour long marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think anybody complains if they drop out ta get me or its so easy or motivation and play a brand new song. AND, I would bet money that the crowd would go wild if half way through the show Axl says "this is a brand new song we've never played live before".......some people make it sound like GnR fans are gonna get mad if that happens. People are there having fun.And it isn't like they are going to drop a classic song. All the big guns would still be played.

After all, that's why they are there. Again, it is a complex thing, some will be open-minded enough to appreciate a new song, others will be bored (especially when it comes on top of solos and covers). It's a mixed thing, but I don't think your idea that everyone would be happy for a new song, is correct. You have a tendency to make things that are rather complex a bit too simplified.

It's a mixed thing, but I don't think your idea that everyone would be happy for a new song, is correct. You have a tendency to make things that are rather complex a bit too simplified.Ok, than drop a solo, I don't think it would be a bad thing to drop Whole Lotta Rosie or Live and Let Die for a night. Hell, maybe Tommy doesn't have to do Motivation? The casual fans can have all the hits they want, it's about throwing a bone to the people that actually care about the new GN'R. Hell, look at Dublin this year, Axl through us a bone with TWAT. It's not a bad thing to do SOMETHING different, even for one night. And hell, maybe it'll be a new song, a old song, a song their working on right now and they want to try it out live. Do something different and exciting, especially for the Vegas residency. Allow the fans to leave the arena knowing they saw something cool and surprising.I highly doubt a fan is going to hear a new song and be scared their missing out on a classic song, especially if the new song kicks ass. Most of the people at a GN'R concert are Guns N' Roses fans, not people off the sreets who just want to hear Sweet Child O' Mine and Nighttrain and leave. If they played a new song it will be rewarding and surprising to the people attending the show.Playing a new song, or even a old song from the Illusions (even for one night) will certainly a good thing.
