Apart from the band introduction I think Axl spoke fewer than ten words last night? It's really bizarre to just see them go through song after song without acknowledging the audience. Not that I'm expecting a ten-minute Axl rant at every show, but just *something* to make it feel less impersonal. That's the #1 thing that makes this all feel so robotic to me. I'm the same way; I'm not looking for a huge rant or anything, but just some sort of acknowledgement of the crowd would be nice. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played Maddy and Prostitute in Hartford Would've loved to have heard any of these last night, or Locomotive or another UYI deep cut. Maybe they cut the set short because of the late start which was the venue's fault, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl was in not bad mood and it was not a rip off, it was an excellent 2 hours and 50 minutes of music, with all the hits, some deep cuts and some covers, the crowd enjoy the show a lot. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I wouldn't say Axl was in a bad mood, but the lack of interaction was still weird. Slash killed it on DTJ and RQ, and I also thought he sounded better on Estranged than previous shows I've been to where he'd been really sloppy.

The Real McCoy Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) 10 hours ago, IncitingChaos said: The reason the setlist is the way it is is because it’s easier to run a production when everything is in order. No long pauses between songs, the video, light, sound people are all on the same page. It’s a massive production for them and the stale setlist allows it to flow better for the production team. I think they could pick a better order for some of the songs, but it’s still a good show. im not saying nobody should complain, but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes and although it can be done to have various songs changed up, this is the easiest route for the team as a whole. And to be fair to the complainers they could have changed the set between legs or over a break, however they didn’t so no reason to expect a miracle anytime soon. Why bother having 10 songs on the “alternate” list if they’re never going to play them? Edited October 19, 2019 by The Real McCoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched out This I Love for Slither and Shadow. Alternate Locomotive. The core setlist is the same because it has to be. But its different everytime they start a new leg in some ways. Slash does a diffrent solo to the songs . The setlist was different the times I saw them in 2016 and 2017. They didnt play Prostitute at Foxboro they did Sorry. They played Maddy and Prostitute in Hartford This is such a load of bollocks. You're saying swapping out 1 maybe 2 songs is a different set. Technically you're correct, BUT! we're talking about the running order, that is the same and that's what's boring. Yeah you may hear an alternative song, but overall it is the same set night in, night out. It's so easy opens, nighttain before encore, paradise ends EVERY night. That my friend is really boring, if you like that then you're going just to go at this point. I enjoyed both gigs that I went to but it was basically the same show just a different crowd/venue... think I got out at get me one of the nights too. I would not be arsed going to see it again though. 3 1/2 years later it has lost all its mojo. My favourite band and I really have no excitement for all this. 10yrs ago when cd tour kicked off I was so buzzed, now I couldn't care less. Hope the band continues, but at the same time I wouldn't be as heartbroken if they folded either. Overall review🥺Zzzzzzzz! Glad the crap like wish you were here, black hole sun is now not a definite for each show. That is a positive for the latest gigs😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we did for humanity? I will listen and love doing it Appetite for destruction till the day I die and I Just can thank them for that masterpiece. I don't know man Just being positive in this shitty forum Yeah we have Axl and Slash. It is very exciting. Well, was.. 3 years ago. Everyone lose interest watching the exact same show (with Axl's shape getting worse) for fourth year. I enjoy what I have, had a great time when I was at their show. But look what Metallica is doing. They release new music. They give us proshots from every show. You can have a soundboard of a show you attended for free. Different setlist every night. GNR? No new music, no proshots (except one that sucks), fan videos being hunted down and they do nothing about it, same setlist every night etc. They don't owe us anything? I actually don't agree What would they do without us? Propably homeless or dead. They exist because they have us. And maybe band does what they can. But management is surely not. PS. This forum is extremly positive when good things happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you choose to look for the negative doesn't make this a "shitty forum".

double talkin jive mfkr Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) does anyone remember gnr circa 92 paris - i was very bored of their setlists around that leg or i thought it was accentuated from the pay per tv even tokyo had a couple deeper cuts but based on NITL this setlist last night is the worst they've ever done based on lack of versatility i'd be pissed in a way even though the crowd looked awesome they didn't get anything unique back in return tijuana seems like the night to go then - its funny how they play that is that accidental? doubt it - its king dick antics Edited October 19, 2019 by double talkin jive mfkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a knock on the shows because if your not on a forum and don’t follow the band then it’s a good show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
