Axl’s jeans are awesome. If anything I wish that he would wear a black pair like he did when he was with AC/DC

The black jeans were awesome, I don’t know why they were AC/DC-specific.

[ChristianGNR]

Axl’s voice is good, but not improving show after show. The difference this time is that the first shows weren’t a tragedy, but overall it’s 2018 level

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. 

I agree, in 2017 paid about £550 and travelled 8 hours in a train to London. Same again to donnington last year, just can't justify the time or expense for the same show.

I think it was because they zipped at the knees or whatever, because of his boot. He was wearing them backstage during the first Vegas shows, I think he wore them onstage too

I'm not a big fan of all of the covers, I wish they played only GNR tunes.  So much great stuff on the Illusions to choose from compared to the cover songs.  However, this talk of never changing the setlist is interesting.  I'm not a huge concert goer, try to go to 1 or 2 a year plus every GNR show in my area.  I saw Korn and AIC this summer, both bands play the same set every single night and only play for 1 1/2 hours each.  Guns plays for 3 hours.  I'm a big AIC fan and they have the catalog to play for much longer.....it's a bit disappointing that most of these bands play such short sets every night.  It also seems like not changing the setlist is the norm among most bands.  Why should GNR be criticized for something that most bands are doing.

I’m in the same boat now, if they come though Sweden or within driving distance (Oslo or maybe Copenhagen) I’ll see them at a maximum of one show that leg, can’t be bothered with more than that now unless they really change up the set.

I’ve had the exact same setlist (apart from DC and Patience rotating and Yesterdays being played at 3 of them) on my last 4 shows on this tour. 

That 1 hour snooze fest before the encore put the nail in the coffin for me last night! It was a good show but sadly there’s nothing I feel like I have to witness again in the near future.

Just saw SCOM clip from Louisville, that was quite bearable by todays Axl standarts, nothing like 2010 great levels, but if he was able to sing like that all times these days, there would be no much complaints.

Because we are die hard fans plus they got back together 3 years ago and we haven’t heard some of the songs being played live as they deserve (with Slash and Duff) in twenty something years.

Please stop calling yourselves die hard fans. Most of  "die hard fans" here are a bunch of whiners.

You don't have to stay here, it's your choice to read the forum. 

Please do not insult other users because of a difference of opinion

Slither from this show is the best performance Slither GN’R has ever done imo, it was amazing to witness.

Am I the only person that thinks the Wichita Lineman cover is a masterpiece?

I think it's a very good version.

[Mr. Bullshit]

There Is somewhere a setlist with the alt songs? 

Thx

[AxlRoseCDII]

For me I’m seeing them this Tuesday, the last time I saw them was 2016. I think in 3 years  the set has changed enough to warrant me seeing them a second time. Since 2016 we got Shadow, Slither, BHS (actually a song that means a lot to me, Cornell’s passing impacted me deeply), and another Chinese song, hopefully Madagascar, usually. But yeah, I can’t imagine seeing them anymore after this unless they change up the set. It’s definitely warm on me and really is frustrating we’re going into a rumoured 2020 leg with no real changes. 

[Mickey]

stop whining, fighting and whatever, and try to enjoy the rest of the time this band play live - you'll never know what happens in GnR so don't pretend to be a GnR fan any more, if you hate them so much!  

[Gordon Comstock]

If I went to a show where I know that Locomotive, Dead Horse and Hardschool were on the setlist, but the band played Black Hole Sun instead, I'd be frustrated too... 

[TMAC20]

Honestly I can say for the first time after watching last nights gig in Louisville I really think they will be a new album 

Axl was a badass with his voice last - repeat his voice last night - This Band was epic last night - 

Frank ? Is better by a mile but he is so far buried  in the mix - don’t get a good feel but Frank actually shined when the band did some improv jamming - he was pounding the skins during those times

Duff - Solid as a Rock - His Playing has improved a ton - his voice coach has helped him a ton - I used to dread when it was his time to sing -🤘not last night - 

Richard - is smooth - Love his tone and his finger picking - he harmonized with Slash several times last night to make the riffs thicker - Fortus was a Star last night 

Axl was flawless - His voice was cooking from the get go - he had a few moments but very few with his clean voice - This Cat sung his ass off last night 

Slash was the star and is the star of the band - Axl’s introduction of Slash was epic last night 

From the first number until the last one Slash was on fire - another level - The Blues solo screamed “ Roy Buchanan “ damn he tore thAt blues solo a new one 

Coma was fucking heavy - Ycbm was Ripping - every song Slash Played was flawless- the jam session on yesterday’s was epic - Scom was stupid good - RQ was a meltdown and Slither May have been the best This Band has performed so far 

 

In closing after watching the energy and the chemistry This Band has - watch out the album is coming baby and it will kill

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.

Regarding the setlist, they  played the same set list back in the day majority of the times. 

I view things a bit differently. When they are back in the NJ/NYC area, I'll go see them no matter what unless something happens in my personal life. They are my favorite all time band. They won't be around forever. Neither will I.

Nice. I don’t know which “back in the day” you’re referring to. 

They are my favorite band as well. I don’t want to pay over $300 to see the same show I’ve seen a bunch of times already. When they put out new music, like any other band, I probably will.

I feel the same.  I've had that discussion with my girlfriend when the band first reunited.  Given the volatile history of Guns and the abuse these guys put their bodies through in their younger years, it could all end in the snap of a finger.  I'm going to see Guns anytime they're in my area for as long as it lasts......regardless of setlist.  It would be a regret if I didn't go when I had the opportunity.
