jekylhyde Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 They're both played in drop D tuning, instead of E flat tuning, which is the tuning of most Gn'R songs, so it's probably more of a convenience thing, meaning not having to change guitars after one song. Which doesn't take too much time, though, obviously, but it would kinda break the flow of high energy songs. And I guess they just dig how they go back to back. And no matter what anyone says, after six years of this reunion it's still cool to hear them play Velvet Revolver songs and Chinese Democracy songs, in my opinion.

Nice theory but Slash changes guitars between those songs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefinitelyInThisLifetime Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The Pentaverate would have you believe that, yes. But they’re all for the greater good, so…no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-p-d-a Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Axl likes to sing Slither and Slash likes to play Chinese Democracy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 absolutely, and I think the answer is in both songs, between lyrics, you probably have to mix the lyrics all together, read it backwards and find the clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishgunnerII Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Is there a meaning behind it ? Yeah it means biggie and Tupac and the reverse vampires and saucer people are planning a massive comeback tour from the land of the upside down. Jesus h Christ we need new music. And I’m surprised there hasn’t been threads trying to make it out there’s a meaning behind the track listing on the albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishgunnerII Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 And it took until the second page for a logical reasoned response as to why it might be ? We aren’t in regular season form people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 It means that when they negotiated the set list, they reserved that section of the show for one CD song and one VR song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
