Yeah, at least they're not dangling that carrot this time. "All new show" was my favourite load of nonsense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trin9498 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 They should use live recordings in the promo - would sell more tickets 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also missed 8, 11 and 13 of July (Rome, Landgraaf & Paris)! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"All new show" was my favourite load of nonsense. Dear me. Forgot about that. And in the end there were less bells and whistles than the previous one. Obviously not expecting anything different this tour but the likes of a mid-set acoustic bit.. some changes in the opening order etc would at least make things a little exciting. I don't necessarily agree that the set has to change dramatically in terms of which songs they use -- they have so few albums and play for so long each night that it can only change so much. But some better rotations, maybe a few dynamic shifts during the set, like an acoustic segment, etc would at least show they've some interest in not just repeating the same show forevermore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that even with only the few albums Gn'R did record, there are a lot of originals they're not playing which are not more challenging to sing for Axl compared to what they're usually doing. If Axl would be interested in changing the setlist and move it around a little bit too, he can do it. It's not for lack of original Gn'R tunes imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just show the live feed on all the screens, then there's nothing to prepare and changes can be made off the cuff. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 They should cut the set down to about 2.5 hours and rotate songs each night, would keep things fresher for the band and there wouldn't be as many lulls that take the energy out of the crowd. I saw RHCP a week ago and the difference between them and GNR was definitely noticeable. RHCP only played 1 hour 45 minutes but it was all killer no filler, the jams were all high energy, and everyone left wanting more... I can't say the same for a 3.5 hour GNR show. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the goal is to enhance the live show experience with non - musical components, there are far better ways to do it like lowering ticket prices or shooting Frank out of a canon. They're already saving money on the pyro and confetti. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if anyone appreciates them? Or are they just an excuse to not change up the setlist more? The live feed is a lot better, especially if they keep playing these huge venues where people in the back can barely see the stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JY2016 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The show in the Netherlands will be moved to a different location due to poor sales. It will now be the Bospop terrain in Weert where there will be a festival a few days before.

GNR have toured and toured for years, so this kinda stuff is bound to happen... and some countries are a little more discerning, others are going to sell every year without fail. But reality is that GNR played Europe last year and the reviews were mixed, and this year they return again and it's right around festival season so people are making choices. Love how the promoter is lightly shading GNR with the "we don't normally have trouble selling tickets, Bruce Springsteen sold out straight away"😄 Well mr promoter, Bruce Springsteen hasn't been on an never ending tour since 2016. I think GNR will look at this and think "Hmmm? maybe we should play South America next year". They should be thinking "oh shit, we should do something". But they won't, and they probably don't care about one show be downsized... if more shows get downsized then it might be a thing where they have to do something in the more short term to promote their tour. What that might be? I have no idea. They backed themselves into a corner really, had they used some foresight they would have ended this tour a few years ago while they were still comfortably selling out, taken a breather, made a record and then started all over again... oh well, horse has bolted! now it's reactionary instead of controlling the situation, but this is the way GNR are, and always will be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR still plenty to go Yeah the 'live in a bubble' thing is probably likely, but downsizing this far ahead means someone, somewhere will have to start sitting up and paying attention to what is happening in terms of how many people want to see the band and what the band are being paid. I see it as a positive anyway- stuff will only change when proceeding down the same path as ever becomes less possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stay.Of.Execution Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 So that's probably the reason they moved the dutch show from the promo video. i wonder what will happen to paris and rome since they were also missing. i'm gonna fucking kill someone if they move rome to another city 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have separate file for each video for each song, so they can play whichever in whatever order. Like WWE entrance videos for each wrestlers. Or too much hassle for Team Brazil?
