trqster Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 People reacted quite positively to TIL, all the other CD songs had poor crowd reaction if any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreCC Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Chinese Democracy is the opener so obviously that has a great reaction alone for being the opener, we can't really say it is for the song itself. Maybe if Axl put CD further in the setlist we would be able to tell.Better has a great reaction! People generally love that song, and see it as a Single. This i Love has a good reaction as well. Sorry has a good reaction as well.IRS doesn't have that great of a reaction, Street of Dreams doesn't have that great of a reaction as well... Madagascar generates complete silence, so usually doesn't have that much of a reaction.Shackler's generates so so reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesecake Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Never forget seeing Guns in London 2012 and they started playing Estranged and I heard some guy behind me say "that must be one from that Chinese Takeaway album."OMG that's soooo funny.

NicoRourke Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 the casual concert-goer that just wants to hear Greatest Hits is gonna go take a piss during TIL.Well, their loss.Oh, and the band is called GN'R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ll_tj1 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The show I went to at The Palace Of Auburn Hills was a pretty good mix I thought. CD songs seemed well received, I think it helped that they weren't played back to back to back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 In both Dallas and the Vegas show I went to, the fans loved the new stuff. There was a man a few rows in front of me at the Dallas show and he was singing along with all the new CD songs like I was. My son said at the Vegas show, he was in the pit and everyone was singing along with Axl. I especially loved Street of Dreams and I was singing along with Axl and I loved at the Vegas show when he would go to the top of one of the special ledges and sing every line while looking at the fans below. Of course, the fans screamed louder to the older original stuff, but I think most fans do that with any band when they sing the songs everyone knows best! But all in all, at the shows I've seen, everyone seemed to enjoy all the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The last show I went to there were about 6000 people in attendance. I was too busy enjoying the show to notice what the other 5,999 people were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzydoezit Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 What is interesting is that in other concerts of other bands (including Slash's) the new songs get much better reception than CD songs get at nuGNR shows. In Slash's gigs people were really excited with songs like Anastasia, Halo, Dr Alibi etc. In nuGNR, the crowd reacted well to chinese democracy (which was the 1st song , so it doesn't count) and TIL. The other songs were bathroom time for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell people were still getting familiar with Apocalyptic Love but people were singing along in big numbers audibly for stuff off the first album along with You're a Lie, Halo and Anastasia. People go nuts when some GN'R comes on but they're pumped for the new stuff whereas I felt like a massive doofus belting out CD songs whilst everyone around me was silent (I'm only guessing they were supposed to be hardcore fans too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Everyone was pumped for Chinese Democracy, tried singing along to Better, gave TIL a good applause, lost on Catcher. Play TWAT you cunts.Lol, yes, please do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 On average at least half of Bon Jovi's set these days is from the last 13 years and those songs are met with an only slightly less enthusiastic reaction than Prayer/Wanted/Bad Name. That's because Jon does promotion, plays singles on tv shows around the world, plays live on radio, interacts with the fans, makes videos, plays award shows and benefit shows, does major press.If Jon wanted to be like Axl, he'd open every show with a dud song from 2008 with no chorus and then follow it with the same 3 songs from Slipper When Wet. Every night. At every show.Sorry, just bitchin'. On topic: the casual fans don't give a fuck about the Chinese material for the most part because it hasn't been promoted to even 10% of what it should have been.TIL used to get a big round of applause after he sang the fuck out of the first chorus in 2010.
