But, other bands do it, so GnR could too. If they don't you have to expect some complaints, so why be all butt hurt about it? Do the complainers go overboard? No doubt I actually got into with a setlist complainer in chat tonight, so I get what you're saying too. Just saying, there's always going to be complaints and sometimes they are actually legitimate despite what you or I may think. I get there will always be complaints, I'm fine with that. But the bitching about the set list in every show thread because they choose to watch periscope every show is not one I find legitimate or can get on board with. No ones holding a gun to their head. Don't like it, tune out. From all accounts everyone in attendance is going home happy, hell I'm one of them (seen 2 shows thus far, and looking to go to at least 2 more.) Now if u wanna complain about there not being interviews, lackluster press, the tempos ruining some songs, Axls non raspy voice when he can clearly rasp it, etc...those are all pretty legitimate in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 More professional = More $$$$$$$$$$$ if anything being sober and playing their best allows them to bust out ALT songs and rotate songs on a whim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that they are not changing the setlist because of the technology or because they want to make the teleprompter guy's life easier. My point is that GnR used to be flexible and laidback about the setlist, but it's not the same band now, they are fully professionals and have a stable and tight setlist like most other bands. That's all. I think that has to do with a few different things. This is the first time Slash and Duff have been in GNR full time since the 90's, it is very very probable and possible that they would rather nail a specific setlist rather than try and memorize 40 songs to pull out during any given show. It makes for a more tight and consistent delivery of a rock show, especially when you take into account the visuals and light shows that are all pre planned. Especially when you still are finding your flow and chemistry with a new rhythm guitarist and drummer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cheesecake Posted July 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2016 Three things remain constant as far as bitching goes: 1) Same setlist 2) WTF with seats in the US shows 3) Why can't he sing with rasp all the way like he did in AXL/DC Even if those 3 were to change, people will still try to find other issues to moan about. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really complaining, and I don't expect them to dig the whole catalogue. They have rehearsed 5-6 more songs though (but maybe not yet with Axl).

Once they please all of those, we will get: 1) Why doesn't he have the corn rows anymore? 2) Would it kills to have more CD in the set? 3) Frank is playing too slow.

Just that them giving it all just trumps the imperfections. But I get the whistle issue. Maybe someone needs to ask the man himself why he chooses to do it this way these days.

Ace Nova Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) This is a setlist from one of the shows.....looks like Patience isn't even a alt. really....almost as if it's part of the main setlist and they should be putting it in every other night or lead into it, idk.....but apparently they're not.

KeyserSoze Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Just now, scooby845 said: how do you get one of those? i assume they are for crew members that travel with GNR and not the hired hands that work on the stage. They have been different for every show though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Remember 2006 and 2010, when Axl wouldn't sing Don't Cry, Civil War or Estranged? Let alone attempt Coma... The setlist we have now is the best it's ever been for 23 years :/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
