itsy Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 so was this not the full 2.5 hour set?paul dainty boasted we were getting the full 2.5 hour set in Aus. or did he choose his words wrong and meant 2.5 hours inc warmup acts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Just got back. Great show. There is no better fucking rock song to close a show than Paradise City. Start - Awesome. WTTJ, It's So Easy, Mr B and LALD (yes, I take back all my teasing about the Wings cover).Middle - Up and down. Solos and low-tempo stuff like KOHD really sucked the energy out of the place. Ending - Fucking insane. Nightrain and Paradise City went off. Axl told a funny story about Bubbles, Mexico and Tequila. Then sang Liquor and Whores with Bubbles. Axl seemed to love it, even if the crowd were all a bit mystified.Oh, and Axl went on at 11:05pm. Pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do put on a great show, as much as some of us (who just want to hear new stuff) bitch about the set list.I agree about LALD...it's awesome live. So much energy. I'm even starting to like the studio version a lot more lately. OTGM is another song that is better live than studio IMO (though it's cool that way too).KOHD is the ultimate downer. They should really ditch that song and replace it with something else. There are lots of options, just about anything would be better I think. If they want something on the softer side, why not CITR? With not a crazy lot of loud guitars going on I'm sure it would sound great live, and be listenable enough for a crowd that does not know the song. If that's not an option then I'd much rather hear something like Breakdown or Since I Don't Have You. True, those are not as soft as KOHD but not very much is.

JEEP11 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) Sounds good. The people who went loved it from all I have read. That is the important thing. So piss off about the setlist if you weren't there. Edited June 10, 2007 by JEEP11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalroses Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Sounds good. The people who went loved it from all I have read. That is the important thing.

aidlook Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 you know the order of the date is screwed up, it should say 6/10/07.p.s. not trying to be an asshole, just wanted to point that outIn Europe and pretty much the rest of the world, that date is perfectly valid.In North America though people tend to do things a little upside down Not sure how they do it in Australia though... so october 2006 of 2007 is ok then?You're not that clever are you?

ThinkAboutYou Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) I hate IRS they should swap it for madagascar, chinese democracy, or even catcher in the ryeThey should lose some of the intros and solos it's as boring as Matt Sorums drum solos from the illusion tour Edited June 11, 2007 by ThinkAboutYou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogstar90_G'N'R Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 i am not liking this setlist... and yet the band chooses to play an extra 4-5 songs on their european leg of the tour.this pisses me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl-rocks Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 awesome!!! I wondering why they aren't playing CD though, it's the Chinese Democracy world tour and they don't play CHinese Democracy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave10 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 awesome!!! I wondering why they aren't playing CD though, it's the Chinese Democracy world tour and they don't play CHinese Democracy?maybe because CD sucks live. All the bootlegs I've heard of it suck. IRS, Better, The Blues, and Maddy are all sooooo much better live.And please, stfu about the setlist. Nobody who isn't a hardcore fan like us wants to go hear songs they've never heard before. They play 3 or 4 a night and that's fine. Trust me, when they play the new songs the excitement for most people in the crowd goes down, except for the few of us there who know them.

James Bond Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 They were on before midnight? Let alone just shortly after 11?This is an improvement. They must have seen the thread in the general discussion area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Really? Seemed to be quite a bit of space on the floor and a few empty seats in the stands. I would have guessed at maybe 15,000, which is still a very good turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
