jacdaniel Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The only songs that Guns absolutely have to play each night are Jungle, SCOM, NR and PC. Then of course they have to play some combination of AFD and UYI songs. But most songs in the set are very much changeable if they were interested in changing things up. I struggle to believe that a group of motivated musicians wouldn’t want to change things up a bit from show to show. On the UYI tour, they mixed it up quite a bit. 91 was very raw, 92 was the horn section, 93 skin and bones. The order of the set varied at times. It just made each show a bit more unique and unpredictable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would require effort, something Axl has lacked for many years now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is a greatest hits cash grab tour. Axl's experiment failed. Most casual fans don't care anyways and just want to hear their greatest hits. At least they're making lots of money. The rest don't really matter anymore. And yeah, I should probably quit this forum and just GTFO. If a new album ever happens, I'll probably hear about it anyways... anything else doesn't matter much. Guess I'm still here waiting for more leaks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MildlyArtistic Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'm not too upset about the lack of setlist changes for this gig, given that it's a festival set. Hopefully (although I doubt it), we'll get some changes in the next few gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kiwiguns Posted September 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) My Review Its not the first time I have attended an American music festival, but times have changed since 1996 Rockford, Illinois and Lollapalooza. This festival, like most today, attracts a wide range of people and that's understandable given the diversity of artists appearing. The only issue I have is a curtain majority only attended for the sake of attending with no real purpose. You can identify these people easily and often, these are the people who complain after the fact on social media or leave the event early. I still don't understand why you would pay money to attend and leave early because of the fact you don't like the artist or the way they sound. I can completely understand leaving early due to transport, family or work commitments. The band I always go into each Guns N Roses live show open mind, and excited about the experience of seeing my favourite band live. When Duff plays the opening bass riff to ISE, the tension and excitement in your gut releases and very quickly you end up being pulled into the world of GNR. First thing you notice, being close to the stage is how relaxed and comfortable everyone is on stage together. For me, it's the things that go largely unnoticed. At one point Axl was talking into his mic off PA, to the other members via their inears. It must have been amusing as all the band members had a smile or a laugh and even Slash glanced back and acknowledge what was said via a smile and a smirk. The band sound tight and Axl moved through 1st to 6th gear after brownstone. It amazes me how the man can be that active on stage for 3 hours. The sweat was pooring of his forearms and soaking his teeshirts. Looking forward to seeing the band in Austin at ACL. Also a big thanks to a random follow GNR fan, who helped me find one of my contact lenses. Cool to chat with someone about our favourite band while on hands and knees.

I think Uncle Axl singing the 1st verse of Slither in his lower voice would be pretty dope, from the clips I saw he seemed in great form.

RussTCB Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Sounds like another great show. It's almost hard to believe the user with "reliable sources" was 100% wrong about the setlist and Matt, but I'm glad it was a great show overall anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s cool. We all know they’ve always played covers, even in the 90s, but now it just frustrates me because we finally have Slash and Duff back and they could play so many of their amazing songs! BHS is just a sad joke, it’s the worst imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what? U should be dissapointed for not attending a show. Songs arent played for you to enjoy at home. If youre tired of reading the same letters of a setlist in a forum, dont bother reading. Shows arent made for forum users. The rest of you going to a show, have a blast 🤘 (Setlist was awesome, u crazy) I’ll say this. I’ve stopped attending shows because of the setlist. They played a good 7 shows or so within an hour from me on the last leg of the tour, and I didn’t bother going to any of them. Not going to any of these either. I want new music. And I’m not just pointing this out for no reason, I’m just making it clear that some show-goers do in fact care about the setlist and will affect their desire to see the band. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSoftie Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It's just a bit odd that cover songs that were done as a tribute to the artists that passed away are still setlist staples YEARS later. I think I'd buy tickets if they came my way again but I'd be disappointed knowing I'm either going to get the same setlist or maybe even a shorter set. Last time I saw them they did OTGM, TWAT, and debuted BHS. It's hard to get excited paying £150 for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time in a while that I can enjoy SCOM, it seems that Axl has finally managed to find a clear voice without sounding like that damn Disney thing.

Same here and that's a bummer, isn't it? If they came back through Detroit, I'd go but I'm not traveling to see them anymore. Not because of the travel itself, but because I'm voting with my wallet. I've seen every line up of this band and I've seen this particular line up / show 3 times already. Unless they release new music and or change up the show significantly, there's no reason for me to give them more money. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanJen Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) For anyone who went to the festival yesterday, please feel free to either post here or PM your full experience! I’m going to ACL on Friday to see Guns. I’ve never really been to a music festival before so don’t know what to expect. I’d love to hear firsthand experiences from people on this forum regarding the festival as a whole, how the band sounds in an outside setting, your view, etc. Edited September 29, 2019 by GNRfanJen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
