Gordon Comstock Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Just now, Gackt said: I don't think I'd call Brownstone "must play", it's just always been attached to the set so people expect it to always exist there; ISE could arguably get dropped as well in favor of a new opener, such as whatever the band has in mind for the song kicking off the new album. Axl usually sounds passable on Brownstone, there's plenty of others I'd drop before that one. Maybe move it to later in the set, just to shake things up. Pretty Tied Up would be a cool opener, and I always thought It's So Easy would be a good song to open the encore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Brownstone, it just happens to be the band's 2nd most played song ever behind Jungle; there's quite a few classics that could be given a rest for a tour in favor of some new tracks or deep cuts to give them a time to shine, since the band likely isn't going to be putting on many more 3+ hour shows. Garden of Eden would be a fun song to start the show, or kick off the encore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since it's a song that fits his current vocal range. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Brownstone is one of the most played songs of all, and it’s not going anywhere. Personally it’s one of my favourites so I definitely don’t think it should, or will, be dropped. More to the point, the fact that it’s in low vocal register makes it easy for Axl to sing (same as ISE) so it’s perfect as an early set vocal warm up. It just wouldn’t make sense to drop it. Much as I’ve long held that dropping and octave on some songs to avoid excessive Mickey is something Axl would never do for the sake of pride, I’m beginning to think it may be the only solution to his ever degenerating voice. It worked fine with Locomotive. I just listened to NITL Dead Horse and tbh he sounds awful. They should just have him do an octave drop, or just change key of the songs across the whole set list, pitch them down so he doesn’t have to force that Mickey so much. I don’t like moaning about it but it’s beyond a joke how bad it is now. Edited April 25, 2022 by Nice Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoForJMark Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Would be fun if they opened with Nightrain again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Axl Rose Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 10 hours ago, Gordon Comstock said: I think BHS was only played once or twice last year? Hopefully it's gone for good now. They could definitely replace these songs: You Could Be Mine Rocket Queen Better Slither I Wanna Be Your Dog Madagascar / Sorry Civil War with these songs: Pretty Tied Up Bad Obsession Down On The Farm You Ain't The First Down On The Street Perhaps / Atlas Ain't Goin' Down Maybe play the alt version of Don't Cry every once in a while, or do Raw Power or So Fine with both Axl and Duff. Idk, there's ways they could play an interesting show that sounds good for the most part... but it will just be the same as 2021 with 1 or 2 'new' songs. BHS was played only at the last show on the tour. It seems that it has already been removed from the standard setlist. I would like Madagascar to stay, and I agree with the other songs because Axl sounds really bad on them. Rocket Queen should be shortened, as well as KOHD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Signs Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I don't get mad at the setlist posts because after 30 years of seeing them ,I know that most fans attend one show not multiple shows per tour like many on here. So while we want deep cuts, rarities etc the vast majority of fans probably don't. I did learn to not go on opening night as Hershey was considered one of the lesser shows but I always wanted to see the theme park and I got to do that all day before they played. In a few years time at their final show in whatever LA stadium it ends up being,maybe then we'll get a four hour set with all 30 something (?) past and present GNR members on stage throughout the night, ideally ending with the AFD 5 doing PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoMw94 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Genuinely, I hope they open with It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, and Chinese Democracy. That might seem like sarcasm, but it isn't. It like those three as openers. From there, do what you want, I don't mind, but personall I enjoy that start to the show. More to the point, I'm just excited to get to a big, loud stadium show again after these last few years of hell. I couldn't care less what order the songs are in so long as I have a show (well, two shows) to go to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely never going to happen. Especially the AFD 5. It would be great, but never going to happen. Knowing our luck the band wont even give a statement until after the last show saying theyre calling it quits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Just play one new song right from the start, that's all I'm asking. And change the fucking playlist, would you? But they'd want to release it first, wouldn't they. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumandraisin Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) The same but maybe with TAY or a new cover added. The euro tour is a conitunation of the US leg tbf, Europe hasn't seen the all new show from last year. The new fn chapter or whatever they called it.

I'm sure the final show(s) will be heavily marketed as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmee239 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Realistic expectation: PTU, TAY and the 2 cd-era songs Slash was talking about . What would happen in a perfect world : Rotate Coma with Locomotive, TWAT, maybe some other CD songs such as Street of Dreams, IRS, even tho Axl surely cant do them justice anymore.

itsprettytiedup Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I'm expecting at least the "new songs" they said they'll be dropping before the tour + 3/4 deep cuts from UYI supporting the boxset 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I’m more curious what the new song(s) will be. The setlist will always be close to the same. Didn’t Slash say the new songs will be more complex or did I imagine that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect any new songs to be played at the first few shows, unless Absurd still counts as a new song. We'll find out the title(s) around the first show because it'll be on the setlist, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like revisiting old singles isn’t really worth the time, especially with how little this band releases shit, which is why they’ll probably just do it anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
