JimiRose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) I actually think we will get this in the next 5 years or so. Maybe a one off show, or a small tour in theatres or arenas. The only thing is it has to be just these on 5. No dizzy, no piano no 3rd guitarist etc. Give us 85-90 So I've tried to only pick songs from that era that steven would have a part in either demo, live or studio. Setlist Welcome to the Jungle It's So Easy Mr Brownstone Reckless Life Shadow Of Your Love Rocket Queen Out Ta Get Me Civil War Rocket Queen You're Crazy (Lies Version) My Michelle Think About You Nice Boys Anything Goes You Could Be Mine Slash Solo Sweet Child O' Mine KOHD Nightrain Encore 20. Patience 21. Don't Cry 22. Paradise City I left out a Duff or Izzy solo spot. I don't recall there being many in those early days, but if Axl wanted it broken up then I wouldn't mind seeing DTJ, Dust and Bones or 14 years added, or a duff punk cover. I also think there's room for Whole Lotta Rosie which that line up did (as well as others since) or heartbreak hotel, that would match the energy of that era, but whether 67 year old does it justice I dont know.

Agree a theatre tour would be best. 2k max capacity, intimate rock show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGeneral Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 GNR has a very small catalogue, so there's not much choice besides the playlist we already have, is there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 No stadiums, no outdoor gigs, no huge world tour. Larger clubs to small arenas. And only a very limited Amount of dates, let's say 5. Shows done like the 2016 Troubadour, lottery for tickets, short notice for when they go on sale etc. Only thing I'd change is that more regular fans should be able to attend over celebrities looking to get spotted at an exclusive event. I'm including Izzy material from UYI as well as material written at the same time as AFD. Open with Out ta get me PC Move to the city (with brass section) Dust n bones Think about you SCOM Don't damn me It's so easy Mr brownstone Jungle YCBM Reckless Shadow 14 years RQ Michelle Don't cry Anything goes Used to love her Whole lotta Rosie Nightrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Brain should probably step in for Adler who will be relegated to waving Pitmans towel, and Fortus should replace Izzy. Teddy Zig Zag should replace Mellissa but be forced to wear the same gear as it would confuse the rest of the band, particularly Brain. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURT19 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 IF, and I do mean IF, the AFD lineup actually reunited then it would be SO COOL to have them play Back In Black front to back! Maybe toss in a few deep cuts from Slippery When Wet, encore with Enter Sandman and ride off into the sunset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsnchalupas Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) The way I would market a reunion would be with a "Let It Be Naked" style re-issue of the Use Your Illusion sessions, with Adler on drums. Get it down to one 60 minute album without filler, especially focusing on the songs written during the 80s. Record Adler drum tracks and remix the songs with less over dubs and more of a straight-ahead shit rock song. It would be marketed as UYI with the sensibility of the Appetite Era band. Take the acoustic guitar November Rain demo, flesh it out with the whole band as an acoustic-electric guitar version of the song with no piano, and you have a single that will get air play on the classic rock stations because it's a different twist on the same song they keep playing. Have Axl do the lead on 14 Years, if they have an Axl lead track recorded from those sessions. Put Izzy on the lead for Don't Cry. Just a way to change it up. Then make the touring set list up or whatever, but they would have an actual album to push that is somewhat "new" and doesn't require Axl to go into the studio and put in work vocally.

We did get a few seconds of Robin in the official Perhaps. I need to try harder though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's an easy fix. I'm sure Matt and Gilby would happily fill those spots if asked too. Keep Dizzy. With those three plus Axl, Slash and Duff you've got the next best classic line up 👍.

He also did the budwieser ad, played on cruise ships for rich arabs and russian oligarchs, and then did actually reunite with slash - but only for the highest ever offer paid out by coachella at the time. so let's not pretend Axl isn't driven by money. He may like to give off that vibe to keep some cred, but he definitely is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
