Nosaj Thing Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think World on Fire would be a good opener.Or if they want to go old-school/GNR, Nightrain or YCBM.Nightrain would be great. They should stop playing the shit songs and so far, I think the only one is You're A Lie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With maybe one or two exceptions, Tues 9 - Thurs 11 June are now basically the only free dates where another European show could slot in from late May to near mid July.Any reason (or hint! ) for this change?

OmarBradley Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Good show in NYC last night. Got a few songs I wanted to hear, but not all, which is fine I expected that.Opening with You're A Lie has to stop....... very very sick of Ghost too. And c'mon, the Rocket Queen thing is just ridiculous at this point, it's way too long and it's taking up space where 2-3 actual songs could be played. I'd be OK with Godfather, because that's 10 minutes total usually.Too Far Gone and Savage Sun were awesome, really wanted to hear both of them. I'll be looking for 30 Years and Automatic OD (which btw, should be the opener) in Baltimore next week.I have mixed feelings about the NYC crowd... they were very energetic, but also quite rude and obnoxious at times. I was at the show, same venue, 5 years ago and the crowd was great - energetic, but mature; probably the best crowd I've been in. But now that Slash is more popular as a solo act, it's attracting a lot of non-hardcore fans, a lot of them being quite young - the vast majority of people on the floor were under 30 by my estimation. I mean... I am too, but I've always been a hardcore fan .Eddie Trunk was in attendance, fun fact.EDIT: Right.... Slash's guitar tone. I'm really not digging it. JCM 800 reissues with no boost/OD?!? His tone sounds thin and cold, and it's very easy to hear bad notes/mistakes because of this. The AFD/Jubilee/JCM Slash rig was much better IMO.

Tom-Ass Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I just don't get the bitching about Rocket Queen.. Every time I have seen it has been great and went over really well with the audience... I have seen it a few different times now with different groups of people and everyone always loves it. The only people I see bitch are here really.. The longest one I have seen was like 15 minutes and 7 of it is the song itself.. He switches it up every time and it is bad ass.. Much better than the tired Godfather or blues jam in my opinion.Now I can see people getting antsy if it gets longer than 15 minutes. Has he generally been doing it longer than that now? I personally love it no matter how long it gets. I watched that 30 minute one on you tube a few times haha.. 15 minutes seems totally reasonable to me though.. It is fucking Slash and I want to see him go off for awhile! Something he wasn't allowed to do in VR really. Anyway I am really looking forward to it tonight! I know my twin cousins are as well. It is their 30th birthday.. The last show they went to, he broke a string at the beginning of it and just skipped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 When I saw Rocket Queen live I simply loved it, but yeah, it's about 15 minutes of non-stop noodling where he could perfectly play two or three songs. That's why people are "bitching" about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 And that video cuts off the end. So add another 2 and a half minutes to that video and you had a 23-24 minute Rocket Queen. WAAAAAAY too long IMO.Also, now that I've looked and analyzed setlists, I've found where the rotators are. The slot after Wicked Stone is the main one for the night, where he's played Too Far Gone, Shadow Life, Automatic Overdrive, 30 Years To Life. Thats the big WOF rotator. Then there's the Beneath The Savage Sun slot, where it sometimes gets alternated with The Unholy, but with Savage Sun being the new video and single I wouldn't be shocked if they just keep it Savage Sun every night now. Also, for New York only, The Dissident slot was completely erased and made room for the Hey Joe surprise in the encore. So otherwise, The Dissident is pretty much an every night. Thats one, maybe two, rotating slots which is probably the least I've seen from Slash in a long time. On the AL tour there were like 4 slots, including Todd's set, where they were switching songs nightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Rocket Queen last night on Hampton was 15 minutes. Does everyone agree that is an acceptable length? He definitely didn't lose any of the crowd last night. It was AWESOME! Killer fucking show.. review to come *Edit.. I actually don't know how long it was last night. They one I saw on youtube was actually from last July's show there.. I didn't time it last night. It didn't seem overly long though.

Tom-Ass Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Here it is!Another great show last night. It amazes me how this band when they seems like they can't get any better, they continue to do so show after show.. I believe this was the 9th time I have seen them now. The firstThey went on at like 8:50 last night which was a little early for a Friday night. I think the last time they played Hampton, they went on at like 9:30. The sound was fucking spot on.. There were a couple shows where Slash could have been a little louder in the mix but the sound last night was perfect in every aspect.. Myles and Todd were fucking killing it with their harmonies as well.. So much fucking talent on one stage..You're a Lie - Pretty good song.. I don't really feel like it is a must play type of song as the band does but there are worse songs they could play.. Nightrain - The place fucking exploded for Nightrain last night. You could just tell it was going to be a special night from this point on. People were so fucking into it and singing right along.. Good stuff. Avalon - Not one of my favorite songs off WOF but it isn't bad..The band was so tight last night that it made every song better. Ghost - As someone else noted I am kind of tired of this song at this point.. Live anyway... I really liked that first record but at this point the only song I care to hear this band play off of it is Back From Cali. I am just being nit picky here. It is still a good song.. Back from Cali - Always good to hear. Wicked Stone - Kicked ass as expected. Shadow Life - One of my take it or leave it songs off WOF but it went over REALLY well live last night. It sounded great and people were really into it, clapping along and all that. Double Talkin' Jive - Sick fucking shit right here. So good.. You Could Be Mine - Kicked ass.. This band owns this song.. Doctor Alibi - Beer and piss break. This song does nothing for me. Waste of a spot as far as I am concerned.. Welcome to the Jungle - Awesome!! So much energy. The Dissident - Weak song in my opinion.. The chorus comes off cheesy as hell to me. Beneath the Savage Sun - Fucking monster live. Sooooo good. Rocket Queen - Fuck anyone that whines about this song jk.. It was incredible last night though.. I guess I can see why for some that it could be too long at times. Not for me personally but I can see why some would think that i guess. Well last nights rendition was 15 minutes and I thought it was perfect. No one was walking away or complaining.. People were getting more into as it went on by whistling and cheering while Slash got crazier and crazier by the minute.. Great reception when it was all over too. People ate it up and that is why they continue to play it. Take the opportunity to grab a beer or take a piss if you don't like it. Note, that no one was running to do either last night. *Edit.. I actually don't know how long it was last night. They one I saw on youtube was actually from last July's show there.. I didn't time it last night. It didn't seem overly long though. Bent to Fly - Loved it and was very happy to see it in the set last night. World on Fire - Much like You're a Lie, I don't really consider this a must play. I do like it though.. Anastasia - Incredible as always.. Although I do prefer when he plays it on the Les Paul. Sweet Child O' Mine - Awesome... Obviously a crowd pleaser. My favorite guitar solo of all time.. Would love to see him play this with Izzy again some day. Slither - Always good.. Paradise City - Predictable but always good.. So another great fucking show.. My only real complaint is that the Slither/Paradise City Encore has just become too predictable... I know once in awhile they throw in a surprise but for the most part, they don't. If there was a crowd that deserved an extra song thrown in there, last night we were one of them.. People were still very into it and cheering loudly at the end.. Would have loved another song... I really hope to see Out Ta Get me one of these shows.. \m/ Edited May 9, 2015 by Tom-Ass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
