Popular Post GNRfanMILO Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2022 This was probably the best first show of the year since January 2017. Yes it was rough, but Axl is also 5 years older than in 2017. Loved Reckless Life, the mid-part was bad but it will get better. It's a nice adittion and his clean voice fits the song. Same could happen with Think About You if they decide to bring it back. I don't really get the setlist complaints either. It's different to the one last year, and even that doesn't matter. People should be comparing this setlist with the one from Europe '17, for the people that is actually going to these shows and not following them from a forum. Axl looks the best he has ever looked since 2011. We've seen him working out this year, the man is giving it his all. It's his voice that is partially gone, unfortunately there's not much he can do about it sans surgery (huge IMO). 2021 was an amazing year to be a GnR fan, and I think this year will be even better. I hope we get more "new" songs and they keep bringing some deep cuts back Some people should start considering the fact that we are currently going through the last years of Guns N' Roses. And I say that being a huge critic of the band. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl666 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Just checked out the set list. It looks pretty great to me, very varied. This would some obscure stuff from the pov of a casual GNR fan just going to the concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them this month and they didn't Even play Hardwired Yeah, Pearl Jam has played basically every song off of every album because they are a real band and are not phoning it in. Guns n Roses has four fucking albums and are too lazy or uninspired to play something like Pretty Tied Up. It's a joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kozydogg Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Haven't really read this thread, but I imagine a TON of ppl are complaining about the setlist. I just looked it over and it looks pretty damn good to me. Would have been thrilled to see this show when I went in 2016. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone on here that’s seen them already for the first time last night or will be seeing them for the time on this leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 2021 was one of my favorite years of being a GNR fan ever. Hard Skool and Absurd made the tour so interesting and exciting for me, I loved the build up and how we eagerly anticipated each show. He even sounded pretty good towards the end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Everybody ages - it's just a fact of life. I don't know why people expect Axl to get up there every other night and belt out songs as if he were in his 20's. He didn't even sound as good in 1992 as he did in 1988. Axl's voice has always undergone changes and been inconsistent from tour-to-tour. For a 60 year old guy, he sounds okay to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_0013 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Thought Axl looked and sounded great. Was full of energy in the first part of the concert too. He’s clearly much more prepared going into this leg. Vocal off at times and clearly winded but overall a solid performance. Drop Coma and Better where he clearly struggles - drop Slither which adds nothing to the set list - and replace with a couple of easier deep cuts and it’s all good. KOHD needs to go too - never liked that song live. It’s rather listen to a mid tier song like Dust N Bones over that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously wonder why he keeps insisting on playing Better, when it's clearly past its prime and contribution. Why not just pick something else from CD??

Be that as it may, Better is downright one of the most difficult ones. Shackler’s Revenge comes to mind. It’s the high rasp Axl would handle. Then again, maybe it’s too "NuGNR" for Slash to like, who knows. Then there are songs at the middle level / clean voice, like Catcher (not that I’d be too eager for them to include this one, though). Or there’s Prostitute, which would be cool to hear, and it’s not too difficult, just a few raspy moments at the end. But Better? That’s a clear struggle!

Honestly I never thought Better was that good of a song live in the first place lol even with 2006 Axl singing it. I dunno, it just never captured what I liked about the studio version particuarly Axl's unique vocal delivery of the verses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are talking about international bands, I have seen U2, RHCP and in a few days the Stones, also at San Siro. I will let you know how it went, but just at the thought of seeing Guns I am excited,. I have been dreaming of seeing them live for years, but until now I had never been able to get tickets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasShrugged Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 The thing about the setlist- yes it is repetitive but GN'R have so few songs. They aren't like other bands that can vary things up. They're already playing for around 3 hours with all their big hits included and a small bit of rotation on deeper cuts. They essentially have 3 full albums from the classic era and Chinese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
