UK_GNR Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I have seen a company selling mock ups of setlist and for both of the London shows it is shown as on the setlist but skipped along with others that were clearly on pro-forma setlist (such as November Rain) and binned off. Would be interesting where this information came from. A little research shows it has only ever been played live 8 times, and 3 times since early 90s - last time in October 2019 when played back to back with Dead Horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildStar Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Wow Locomotive crossed out for Wichita! What an insult. I'm lucky enough to have seen Locomotive live in person. It was pretty epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanecrescente Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Wow, what a shitter. Almost 3 years of begging Fortus on Instagram dm's to play Locomotive in London and it almost happened. Just my luck 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I wonder if Axl just doesn’t like this song. It’s not really a difficult one to sing, easier than Coma, that’s for sure. Possibly just doesn’t have any emotional attachment to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 34 minutes ago, darkside259 said: yes but coma is more axl/slash Both are Slash (music)/Axl (lyrics). Axl just clearly likes Coma more - maybe because he feels the lyrics more than those of Locomotive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitchisback Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Coma is Slash's baby. Axl plays it for him. I've never heard Slash say anything about locomotive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stars indicate pyro (there wasn't and hasn't been for some time), and I'm pretty sure SCOM got moved to the end because of the vocal issues. Personally, I'd be surprised if it was supposed to be there the whole time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester 524 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I'm not a singer so I can't say how hard it is to sing, but I'm really surprised they have played it so few times since UYI came out. Songs a killer. I heard them rehearse it before the Hershey show last year (minus Axl) and it was incredible. Hell, after hearing the instrumental version, I'd recommend just play that and let the crowd sing along if Axl can't sing it- just kidding, well, kind of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post allwaystired Posted July 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2022 Those setlists have clearly been knocked up on a computer at home and that crossing out added to make it look 'authentic'. I wouldn't pay any attention to them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I always thought Slash should play some of Locomotive in his solo part. Better than flogging Godfather for 25+ years.

UK_GNR Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 The long intro to DTJ which sounded a bit like Welcome Home (Sanitarium) was great but seems to have been greatly cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky enough to have seen Locomotive live in person. It was pretty epic If you did my guess it was in 2019, or you didn't know the song when you heard it back in 1991. I saw them JULY 1991 when they played back-to-back shows at Shoreline Amphitheater. The 1st of the 2 was one of the extremely rare shows when they played it. Of course I was at the 2nd show! Both concerts occurred 2 months before the UYI albums were released so I wouldn't have known it had they played it anyway. At that time, the only UYI tunes I had heard or was familiar with (or that the vast majority would have known) were Civil War, YCBM, LALD, and KOHD. They opened with Perfect Crime which, despite it being from 1986, I wasn't familiar with at the time -- but I do remember them performing it vividly as it was breakneck opening song. But beyond that and NR, I couldn't recall which UYI tunes they played that night once the albums actually dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost a nice surprise as I did avoid setlists just to be told by multiple people they are playing it. I did hit lucky as they only played it a few times. That was bad luck missing Locomotive in 91 but it would have been a hard song to take in hearing it for the 1st time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
