fergus Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Imagine if Axl would to kind of what Metallica is doing. Having fans choose GNR setlist.It would be fun to challenge Axl and to see witch cities would choose witch songs by vote.Now i understand Axl could not do all past GNR material, but what if he selected about 30 available songs that he would be willing to do from all the GNR catalog and let fans vote.Would be crazy to have songs that we haven't heard in a long time a every show would be fun and unique.

Why not get the mods here to suggest it to the band as a possibility for the future. There is never any harm in asking Edited July 18, 2014 by Mysteron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 These By request tours end up with the band playing their greatest hits, which is Axl is doing for the last decade. Not really necessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really necessary.I note there are some people though (from reading here) that would actually like to hear different songs from earlier albums, so it could work as a valid idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergus Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 There is allot of UYI 1 & 2 that has not been played in a long time. I would also want to vote for Down on the farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Only works for Metallica because the songs are voted by the fan club, not the general public. The fan club is worth it for Metallica fans because of the things they get out of it. The nightrain club not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergus Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Are you sure, I heard its people who buy tickets that get to vote. Even if Metallica is doing with the fan club, GNR could do it with people buying a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They can't do it or all songs from CD would be dropped. I guess Axl wants at least 2 songs to validate the whole mess that is CD, NuGNR and this decade-long tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm guessing the "fan choice" is picking between a handful of songs the band is prepared to play, right? Or something like a twitter hashtag poll during the show?Might be a way to get the band to play stuff like Atlas Shrugged, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergus Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Let the fans vote with available songs.It would also prove that Axl's band can play the GNR Catologue and be the best thing to spice things up until we get a new record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Only works for Metallica because the songs are voted by the fan club, not the general public. The fan club is worth it for Metallica fans because of the things they get out of it. The nightrain club not so much.I believe on the festival here, people could even text their choice on the festival ground, so everyone who had a ticket. Then a fan would come on stage to announce a song (a fan from the fan club, I believe). I thought that was a really cool idea. So definitely not only the fanclub here to choose the setlist.The result from Metallica's request was most hits were played, so I guess there wouldn't be too many changes in the GNR setlist. Maybe the fans could pick two or three songs from a list of lesser known or played songs. I'd like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergus Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I listen to CD in my car or at home, but at a GNR concert nothing on that CD is on my list to see live.If could choose a song that is not original GNR song it would be Crash Diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablabla123 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It would be cool, but most of the people would just vote for the same hits, like happened with Metallica, they played few different songs in these shows.They should let us choose 10 songs from a list, which wouldn't include SCOM, PC, WTJ and the other hits, because this would be played anyway. So the band would play 10 songs that we choose plus the hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
