GoBucky Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 They just need to drop the covers. As the classic rock band that they are, they have to play at least half of Appetite, one or two from Lies and all the singles from the Illusions. Change those songs around in the set, take Coma, DTJ, ISE and maybe Better out and add a new song or two, a few different Illusion songs and maybe Think About You and I'll be very happy. The last few shows they did weren't that bad with some covers dropped and You're Crazy, Dead Horse, So Fine and occasionally Locomotive added in. The last two shows had only 2 Chinese songs and 3-5 covers, but Heaven's Door and LALD have been staples for 30+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really count one 'new' (technically old but you know what I mean) song as 'change' to be honest, if the setlist is the same bar that. I mean, sure, it could get thrown in mid tour or something.....but for me, it's really not enough on it's own to make me think the show isn't 'same old'. Others will disagree of course, but here we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we find out very soon🤣 At this point I'd take the standard old set if Axl would just sound great on it. God if (when) they start with ISE, the crowd should turn on their heels and leave. I’d rather stay and have a great time, watching my favorite band play, which is a privilege we all never knew we’d have again. 19 hours ago, ShadowOfTheWave said: So by "new" she means PTU & TAY.

allwaystired Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Just now, SoulMonster said: If you require more than one new song to be debuted on Saturday, then I am afraid you will not be happy Well not necessarily- I mean if it was a new setlist, a band full of passion that looked like they really wanted to be there, etc, one 'new' song would be fine. If it's business as they left off though.....then it's not good. But yeah, it would take more than just throwing in Hardschool to the existing set and performance to make me spend a few hundred on a ticket again. Anyway....we'll see on Saturday. I imagine there's quite a few people who will be looking at the show before making their decision whether to buy a ticket. A good night on Saturday would certainly help sales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how this will affect the three shows here (that already are selling poorly). https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2021/07/will-nj-indoor-mask-mandate-return-following-latest-cdc-guidance-change.html I take NJ Transit for my commute into NYC regarding work. It's mandated on NJ Transit buses to wear mask. I see people entering the bus and then take them off or lower it to their chin when they are seated. Masks are also mandated at the Port Authority. I'm starting to see more people not wearing it at the Port Authority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god… I appreciate that you think gnr even showing up deserves gratitude, but I have higher expectations for the money I spend (why I refunded my tickets). It's a privilege for a rock band to have fans come see them 30+ years on. You're all kinds of mixed up.... but I hope you enjoy the show you're attending. Also... I said I hope they put on a great show??? How did you just look at that one ISE comment?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I hope they put on a great show??? How did you just look at that one ISE comment?? 100% this. I have never understood fans who act like it's some sort of privilege to give GN'R money. It's derivative of the whole "the band doesn't owe you anything" BS. It is a privilege for any artist to have a paying audience, not the other way around. I've mentioned this recently, but it's worth repeating: I do understand the "I should see them again because they won't be around forever" argument. If someone feels that way, great! Go to the show and I truly hope you enjoy yourself. However, for someone like me who's seen the over 20 times between 1991 and 2016.... "they won't be around forever" just isn't enough to justify giving them more money for a downgraded version of the same show. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVID is rising in all 50 states, LA reissued its indoor mask mandate starting today, and others will likely follow. There is still so much unknown about COVID, these new mutations, and the efficacy of the vaccine against the delta variant. A lot of conflicting info from reliable sources (e.g., is a 3rd shot necessary?) If I wear one, which I probably will, I hope I don’t get shit for from some drunk asshole at the show. Have pit tickets to Metlife With case projections of 200,000 per day on the horizon I wouldn't be surprised if this (or any other tour) gets pushed back. So far we know the Foo Fighters and Buckcherry both had postponements due to band members/crew getting Covid. Who cares if someone gives you shit. They gotta be hella bored to give a fuck if you have a mask on. Since there's literally no requirements for these shows in terms of vax/neg test you have to do what's best for you if you are gonna attend. I'll look for the article but I just read about a music festival overseas that had test/vax requirements and a big outbreak was still linked back to it.

MaskingApathy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'm probably going to wear a mask too when I go to see them just because there's so many people there, although I hope most of them are vaccinated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccination rate around here is pretty high, although GNR probably draws a lot from the sticks where I'm sure its much lower. Having been to a few Mets games and the Foo Fighters MSG show... I think almost all will be unmasked except when using the bathroom, where I now appreciate wearing a mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it a fan favorite but it's Duff's trademark song, and he is going to want to play that shit. Also Axl still sounds really good on it and it gets the crowd amped. It shouldn't be the opener anymore but I can't imagine GnR ever dropping it, nor should they. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yes, Rocket Queen as well. All this super bloated noodling needs to go, imo. If they do this to give Axl more breaks they could simply do shorter shows or let Duff sing another song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Really wanna go see the GNR guys again but i can't.. thanks to the Anti Vax brigade. I have young kids. I can't risk them for Trump supporting fuckwits with their desperate wank stains on the Trump flags. Those people that won't get vaxed seem to enjoy sitting in their caves, getting fucked up and being totally unproductive and anti-life. All i can say is enjoy the bats in your caves! I guess they taste good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
