But this set is being hit with the 3rd attempt at cpr. 2-3 new additions to set is not worthy of happy, IMO. Axl sounded ok on what I've heard so that's a plus, but again the set is the same old tired NITL set and it's boring as it gets 6yrs in. The European tour was sold in 2019 as an "all new tour". Yes of course 2020 happened, but does that mean 2yrs later they just get to reneg on the promise? I believe there is at least a percentage of people who bought tickets believing there would be something bigger than two different songs in the set... Gnr didn't deliver anything meaningfully different. Good show? Yeah, but more of the same. IF I could see this tour I would be skipping it. Only thing that changes my mind is gnr turning this old tired set on its head and doing something actually different, don't care if they play new music or not, I just want to see a show where I don't know the beginning middle and end before I even buy the ticket.

It's funny how you didn't post anything after the positive reviews. You opened your mouth the other day and in my post.. Maybe keep it quiet for a change rather than always criticizing.

Popular Post WhazUp Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2022 I just have to contrast GNR with the two Pearl Jam shows I caught last month - between two Pearl Jam shows there were only like 5-6 overlapping songs per set, and you never knew the order and which songs you were gonna get. Now whether you personally like Pearl Jam or not - you gotta admit that that way of doing things is way more exciting I get that PJ has released way more albums than GNR in the last 30 years but that also sort of highlights where we are at regarding GNR 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jekylhyde Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2022 I guess this might be a strange concept for some, but the setlist is put together for the crowd at the actual show, not for us creeps on the internet. And for that, for entertaining, it is a damn fine setlist! They have something for everyone, whether you're a casual or a hardcore fan. I mean, it covers every era of the band. From Hollywood Rose -days to AFD to Lies to UYI to Velvet Revolver to Chinese Democracy to Axl's stint in AC/DC to new reunion songs. It's an amazing setlist, when you think about. A huge retrospective of their whole career. 19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t really compare the two of them though. Guns have been a spinal tap/ nostalgia act for most of the past 3 decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) TBH he sounded great on Reckless Life! There was a moment where it looked like the voice was collapsing, but after the solo not only did he come back but started to sing better and went to all the heights. I hope we'll see more videos from the gig, You're Crazy in particular. Looks like playing the fast songs with high vocals is the way to go - that's where he can nail it. Great first gig. Better needs to fuck off, and Coma should alternate. Also, people, please stop asking for Maddy and Seeker and Wichita and god knows what. They're not gonna play 40 songs, which means they'd have to drop the new stuff they're playing right now and revert to previous, boring setlists. Be glad they do something different now and stop bitching about missing songs, for Christ's sake. We need some pro-shot from TV. Even if just one or two songs - but not the usual SCOM/NR etc. Edited June 5, 2022 by jamillos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ShadowOfTheWave Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2022 Wow, lot of simps for this soulless cash grab circus. Note that the defenders are the ones who seem angry and irritated while those who recognize the obvious are just resigned and amused at this point. Must be difficult having to come up with ways to defend this shit. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiscool Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Nice to see a few changes to the set. Here's to hoping someone taped it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdaniel Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 It's cool to see the band back onstage and the set list is pretty cool. I'll enjoy it when I see it again in a few weeks. But again is the key word. It's essentially the same set as 2016 with some small changes in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelmi Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Im very impressed with Axls performace and vocals! But thats because my expectations were set low! But I if he can sing like he did in Lisbon in Prague and London I will enjoy the shit out of the shows! For me the setlist is amazing! And I saw lots of you complaining about SC - NR - KOHD but for me that is special to hear those songs back to back. It has a certain mood. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Axl’s vocals have lost a lot of its character. But it doesn’t matter. He’s up there in age, can’t ask his vocal chords to be fresh again. They all appear to be in great shape and some of the concert photos are badass now. Setlist seems amazing. Glad they are on the road again. Hope it’s a good tour! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Impressed with Axl. Surreal to hear him belt our Reckless Life like he did in 86 (although he struggled a bit on the second verse going into the chorus). Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 A lot of videos are up on YouTube. Just filter for uploads within the last day. Incredible that they dusted off Reckless Life, I’ve always loved that song. In general, it’s great to see them mix it up a bit. While Better came under fire, it literally sounded no worse than performances from 2017 or 2018 and hearing Axl reach the notes in the bridge was immensely pleasing as I thought he’d lost that part of his register when hearing some of the 2021 performances. In regards to new music, it is what it is at this point. I’m glad I pulled the trigger on refunds for the 4 other shows I was planning on going to as I couldn’t justify parting with the money for nothing new to be played, but hopefully by the time the Glasgow show comes around, they’ll have at least dropped a new single.

ssiscool Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Just watched a good video of Reckless. Axl sounds pretty good on that and the band were tight aswell. Tho Dizzy and Mellisa are a bit redundant on that track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I didn't really expect a new song right from the beginning. Keep the expectations low and be pleasantly surprised, that's the way I see it. Anyway, more alternations would be great. No need for Slither etc., the first three songs can be shuffled a bit as well. But in general, there were quite some nice surprises. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Yeah I agree. People who expect the set to change radically from tour to tour are deluding themselves. What we have, and what we have been having for many, many years now, are slow, gradual changes to setlist around a core set of songs that are staples. If you compare yesterday's setlist to a setlist from 2016, or 2010 or 206 or 2002, you will clearly see this. For more or less every tour they rehearse one or two new covers, dust of some deep cuts, and shuffle a bit. It might not be enough for some of us, but I think think it works wonders for the average concert-goer and it probably keeps things a bit interesting for the band as well. Of course I would have wanted more deep cuts and even more shuffling, but that is unrealistic when looking at how this band has been doing things. Comparing to other bands is a waste of time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stay.Of.Execution Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) My take on the show: I was in Berlin 2018 and this way miles ahead. Axl indeed had some issues at the beginning and he was getting angry with his sound guys every now and then talking to them. He even talked to duff for about a minute or so after one song apparently complaining about something. Too bad we never get to hear what he say. But he got way better as the show progressed. The setlist was phenomenal for the first show, never expected that. Axl seemed really happy to be here. He dedicated civil war to the people of the Ukraine which was great. In the encore he said something like they're wanna give something back due to the long covid break and apparently made the show longer. I expected a more wild crowd, like they usually have in southern Europe. During slash's solo in RQ you could see his nose was running, which was funny. Looking forward to the next one in 2 weeks. P.s.: getting back from the venue was indeed a pain like people said. Edited June 5, 2022 by Stay.Of.Execution 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
