Of course the sensible thing would be to release a studio version first, because now it'll be judged only based on its live performance (see Axl's performance). The videos from the show will be all over the music news outlets. That wouldn't matter if it was 1991, or 2001, or 2006, but now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Slash and Duff along with the rest of them will want to do it, so hopefully they'll all be motivated to throw it in tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should play the first 16 seconds of it and then wait 9 years to play the whole thing so fans can get the full Checkmate experience 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the setlist is the old Mexico one, otherwise its quite disappointing even for gnr level. Are they promoting this tour as "the next chapter"? Regardless, that's just branding for the masses. Marketing. Don't make too much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't really tour much in 2018 and 2019, though. It was all about four months combined (three months in 2018 and one month in 2019). But there was also SMKC. GnR toured till the end of 2017, then Slash recorded SMKC in the first half of 2018, then GnR did a festival tour in June and July, and then Slash released SMKC and toured it for a year (with a small break for the GnR Asian tour in late 2018) until September 2019. Many people think that Slash wouldn't have done the SMKC album and tour if there was intention for working on a GnR album, but I doubt it. The SMKC album was written in 2015 and Slash had stated that he would proceed with it when there was a break on the GnR tour. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youkeep insisting there's no music, even though they rehearsed a new song yesterday. That's why everyone is so excited here. Besides that gnr doesn't have the catalogue like other bands to play completely different songs every night. They'll always be playing their hits. If you're getting bored already after being a fan for a year, then GNR might not be the band for you. I do apologise I did not realise I kept repeating myself, a bit like a GnR show:) I sincerely hope the gig goes well tonight and everybody enjoys themselves. Something I have noticed is how easy it is to get roped into the negativity of a forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely understand the lack of tracks to choose from since there's only 5 albums including Lies, but playing the same cities with an almost identical setlist bar 2-3 new songs, same order and visuals 5yrs later isn't good in my opinion. The majority of concert goers are the casuals and wouldn't care about a new album anyway, but seeing an almost identical show will definitely make people lose interest.

The gig in Vegas in 2014 where they brought Prostitute and Yesterdays back, they accidentally had the screen showing the computer screen with the list of video files - a number of the songs they had a video for hadn’t been played by that lineup, or still haven’t to this day. It wasn’t up long enough to catch everything, but I do specifically remember Perfect Crime and Riad being on the list. We never got any indication that either of those were seriously considered being played, other than Perfect Crime ending up on an alt list briefly in 2006 and 2011. I got the impression more that they build videos for songs in case they get played, not because they will get played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. They're also relatively easy to do, coming out as some 3d render nonsense without much (if any) thematic or rhythmic connection to the songs themselves. They look like what I'd imagine Axl's mind to look like, a rollercoaster of bright lights and medusas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
