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. I think it helps that RHCP is still a collaborative band that released 2 albums last year and have their classic lineup. They're a perfect example of what a band 40 years in should be doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also add that John's tone and playing is as great as ever, and Anthony has only gotten better over the last few years. I was a little disappointed they only played 5 new songs when I saw them lol. They're a perfect example of what a legacy band should be, and the complete opposite of GNR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if only it was something that didn’t require any work to make, something Slash maybe had already finished, based off of vocals Axl did years ago, so he would only have to sign off. It’s too bad such a tool for promotion just doesn’t exist for this band. Lol. So, you are saying that Absurd moved a significant amount of tickets?

It looks like Fenway Park still has a lot of tickets available. I'm sure the tickets will sell as the show draws closer; if not, people like me who paid for "cheap" seats could be moved down to the field. That's what happened in 2016 at the second Foxboro MA show. It didn't sell out, so we got moved down to the field, which was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they released Absurd it was kind of the nail in the coffin for me as far as interest in the band these days. I am not saying I won't go but the show isn't even on my radar at the moment. I am usually the first one in on the presales and such to try and get the perfect seats. They are going to have to do something to make it worth it. I am not even sure what that is. Shaking up the lineup would help.. Axl sounding decent and rehearsing. Change the order of the setlists. Maybe try different renditions of the songs they always play. This band and lineup is beyond stale at this point. 2 hours ago, chinese stew said: Rehearsal footage.. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cpt_IiTp7vo/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Wow, Axl looks like he has been working out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big RHCP fan and an even bigger John fan; was delighted when he joined but his return has been even bigger and better than I could ever have expected. GN'R has never worked on anyone else's behest or timeline but RHCP and Metallica really are putting GNR to shame here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica were kind of in that situation Guns N' Roses are in now regarding new music. They released Death Magnetic in 2008 but it took over 8 years for Hardwired as a follow-up. In between they toured every year but it was less jarring than Guns because even before Hardwired they had 9 albums to play songs from. Even now its been almost 7 years between Hardwired and 72 Seasons but it feels like less of a wait for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could absolutely play their "must play" hits, cut the boring jams and covers, and still rotate fan favourites, deep cuts and lol new songs in a 2.5 hour show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmee239 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 A fan went to NAMM Show and saw some Slash ad which appears to have an alt-setlist in it. Breakdown is also there. https://imgur.com/a/YIDOIeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcanyon Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'm personally guessing it's a rehearsal setlist as of now with songs tbc. Or its from the end of the last tour because does it say anywhere that it's from this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
