Title: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 10, 2006, 07:12:33 PM so the band are rehearsing for the upcoming european tour.does this cofirm that they will be playing alot more new songs than old songs.if they were goin to do the setlist from 2002 then surely they wouldnt need that much time to rehearse.do you guys think we can expect only a couple of old GNR songs this time round and maybe 8 new songs?
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: leesixxrose on April 10, 2006, 07:16:10 PM I hope so!!! i hope they are rehearsing the new songs..... wonder if axl bothers to show up for a rehearsal
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: Sparksry on April 10, 2006, 07:24:12 PM I think axl has finally found out that he needs to buckle down to release this album and showing up and promoting the tours ids one great way to do this.... so i do beleive that hes showing up for the rehearles
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 10, 2006, 07:31:29 PM yeah,i agree about axl showing up.there doesnt seem to be any friction amongst the band as far as we know anyway.but with them rehearsing for say 2 months would mean that they arnt rehearsing the old songs that they played in 02.this surely means they are rehearsing new material for the shows.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: Mr.Intensity on April 10, 2006, 07:32:36 PM I hope they are rehearsing primarily new material.. with some select stuff from the Illusions Axl didn't play the last time around like Coma, locomotive, etc...
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: Steel_Angel on April 10, 2006, 07:34:55 PM Estranged!! :drool: Dont Cry!! :drool:
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: leesixxrose on April 10, 2006, 07:35:35 PM Estranged!! Dont Cry!! Bad Apples!!!!! DTJ!! can you imagine if they busted out one of those songs from illusion!!!!!!!!!! Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 10, 2006, 07:45:56 PM yeah it would be cool to hear the old songs that werent played in the 02 tour but id prefer 50 percent new songs aswell.
is 2 months long enough to rehears say 8 new songs for a tour or would they need longer? Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: Krispy Kreme on April 10, 2006, 08:27:37 PM They would need to rehearse in any event. It's been 4 years since the band has been together. I hope they play new stuff, but even the old stuff needs rehearsing since the band has played together on the road for less than 6 months since 1998.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 10, 2006, 08:33:30 PM yeah,but wouldnt they need more than 2 months to learn a setlist of mostly new songs
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 10, 2006, 08:45:08 PM No, I'm in a band and if we have a show coming up we really only need like 2 weeks to be prepared. But extra time always will make you sound better. They are just making sure that they are really prepared.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: jimmythegent on April 10, 2006, 09:29:17 PM im just glad to hear theyre rehearsing again
to be a band yoiu actually have to play together Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 11, 2006, 12:09:21 PM in the early days GNR played songs that would later be on the illusion albums.do you think they might play or have played songs that might be on an album after CD.you can rehearse a lot of songs in 2 months.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: shaun on April 11, 2006, 12:26:12 PM I hope so!!! i hope they are rehearsing the new songs..... wonder if axl bothers to show up for a rehearsal New and old one would imagine. Doubt Axl bothers to show up, he has trouble finding the required energy to show for gigs :hihi: when all is said and done taking into account 2002's gigs, Axl's singing was at times the weak link in the chain ;) Axl needs to rehearse. Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: JB9988 on April 11, 2006, 12:34:54 PM the more new songs they play the better. I mean wttj and scom and pc will be missed but ive waited so long to hear Chinese Dem.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: Origen on April 11, 2006, 12:49:41 PM It's been 4 years since they all played together, they'll still be rehearsing old stuff.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: JB9988 on April 11, 2006, 12:54:52 PM Ummm..............NO. They are not going to do what they did last tour they are going to play new songs. why would they play all the old songs agin.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: ppbebe on April 11, 2006, 01:23:21 PM Quote the more new songs they play the better. amen to that. I won't miss wttj scom and pc or any oldies a bit as I've had enough on videos. I really hope the new original songs are what they are reharsing. Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs????

Post by: Communist China on April 11, 2006, 03:29:42 PM I hope so!!! i hope they are rehearsing the new songs..... wonder if axl bothers to show up for a rehearsal I think Axl feels the other guys need more work than him. I bet he's already or will eventually miss a few rehearsals. Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs????

Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 11, 2006, 04:26:27 PM the more i think about it the more i would really like to see BETTER and COMA played at the upcoming shows.where are they supposed to be rehearsing anyway?

Post by: MarioGunner on April 11, 2006, 06:31:29 PM i think they shouldn?t be rehearsing old songs anymore, i mean, appetite and the illusions songs they did in the past tour, well, maybe axl, cause he certainly failed to reach his highest in some shows of the 2002 tour. But anyway, i bet they?re learning buckethead?s solos and arranging endings and, and, and, planning the show,maybe something special or nice, like a surprise during the shows :smoking:
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 11, 2006, 06:36:52 PM why not anymore?have they moved?
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: KIKO2K6 on April 11, 2006, 06:40:46 PM How you know ? Tommy is the leader of the rehears so tommys place makes sense . Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: the dirt on April 11, 2006, 06:41:28 PM I thought the latest was that rehersals were being held in New York?
And who knows how many of the band reherse all at the same time... Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 11, 2006, 06:43:06 PM I thought the latest was that rehersals were being held in New York? i think it would be a good thing for them to rehearse together as things can be sorted out that way.where did you hear they had gone to new york to rehearse?And who knows how many of the band reherse all at the same time... Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: the dirt on April 11, 2006, 06:43:16 PM Some board members believed it was impossible for a couple members to get together and jam at Tommy's new studio. I think they did.
-edited to add "board" members Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: the dirt on April 11, 2006, 06:46:08 PM i think it would be a good thing for them to rehearse together as things can be sorted out that way. I agree. where did you hear they had gone to new york to rehearse? I can't remember, I may be mistaken. Mayby someone else knows what went on at NY recently. Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: ARC on April 11, 2006, 06:47:40 PM Has "Estranged" been retired from live performance...?
When was the last time they played that song...?! Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs????

They need to reharsal all the same time , ?its a fucking band they need to do this together they dont play together in years , the reharsal its for it do it all the same time get the vibe energie makes then a Rock N Roll BAND !!! Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 11, 2006, 06:53:42 PM when a band is a band they need to be like a family and at least they can do is rehearse together.the guys hardly spend time together so to rehearse seperatly would be a waste of time.if the only time the guys spend together is on the stage then im sorry but the band is hired.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs????

One would think. The old band didn't reherse together for the UYI tour all together either at times. Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs????

Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: AxlsMainMan on April 11, 2006, 11:01:56 PM Has "Estranged" been retired from live performance...? When was the last time they played that song...?! Estranged was last played in Germany, second maybe third last show of the UYI tour... I think its most definately retired... Someone will have to retrace the interview, but I know Axl said he would, or could only play Estranged with Slash... They relate through that song on so many different levels, it's really humorous/ironic. Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: mikegiuliana on April 12, 2006, 03:58:26 AM estranged to me is an axl n slash song. one kicked ass one vocals the other owned on riffs n solos.. Certain songs I think should be left alone with the departure of slash... But then again I love jungle and scom
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs????

Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 12, 2006, 08:51:37 AM I'd like to hear them do Breakdown or Don't Damn Me. The Garden and Bad Obsession would rock hard too.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 12, 2006, 08:58:59 AM dont damn me and bad apples :hihi:.does anybody have any idea what date they went into rehearsals so i can work out how long they will be rehearsing coz i just think 2 months isnt enough time to rehearse mostly new songs.but sayin that they could have been rehearsing their own parts for a while now
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 12, 2006, 09:02:14 AM About two weeks ago I believe. 2 months is plenty of time. I'm in a band, and when we rehearse to get ready for a show, it usually only takes really 2 weeks to get tight, even with new songs. So 2 months is plenty of time to get ready.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 12, 2006, 09:12:09 AM About two weeks ago I believe. 2 months is plenty of time. I'm in a band, and when we rehearse to get ready for a show, it usually only takes really 2 weeks to get tight, even with new songs.? So 2 months is plenty of time to get ready. but what if you hadnt jammed with your band for about 3 - 4 years.would it still only take a couple of weeks. Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 12, 2006, 02:20:46 PM Well, we have never gone 3 or 4 years without playing together. But we have gone 3 or 4 months without playing and it still took about 2 weeks to get the tightness back. I think that Axl's voice will take longer to get used to singing in a live setting again, because I am the singer and when I dont sing with the band for a while my voice gets really tired fast. But I think that once you have that connection with the people in the band, you know where everyone's weaknesses are, so it doesnt take that long to get back into the groove.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 12, 2006, 02:32:46 PM yeah,i understand what ye sayin its jus for the majic to happen amongst a band i just feel they need time together.but ive been thinking about it and all i can think of is that they have spent time together possibly a couple at a time and probebly have jammed in small sessions together.its just that everything they do is hidden from the outside world.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 12, 2006, 03:13:18 PM Yeah I wish they would actually communicate. But from Fortus' email, it sounds like they have all been rehearsing together, maybe minus Axl though since he's been in New York for God knows how long now.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: bh339 on April 12, 2006, 03:19:58 PM I hope they are rehearsing and that this thing will actually happen. I'm not counting on it though. Too many things going on in the GNR camp right now that are negative. The threads seem to be unravelling.

Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 12, 2006, 03:23:51 PM The only negative thing we have is that we haven't gotten a press release yet. Other than that, I ain't complaining.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: KIKO2K6 on April 12, 2006, 03:26:20 PM I belive they have all been rehearsing together minus Axl , so AXl still in NY ?!
Glen say that Axl is hiden at her girlfriend place . Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 12, 2006, 03:27:42 PM I dont know if he still is, but he was there for almost a month.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 12, 2006, 03:28:20 PM tp be honest as far as i can see everythings been positive
1. the tour 2. there together rehearsing 3. fortus email :peace: how do we know axl is still in new york? Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr on April 12, 2006, 03:29:16 PM We don't. :no:
I hope he is rehearsing with the band!!! Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: KIKO2K6 on April 12, 2006, 03:32:29 PM We don't.? :no: I hope he is rehearsing with the band!!! I hope two , but i dont belive he is .....we all know AXL . I ts a shame because he need to rehears he need to sing ! Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 12, 2006, 03:58:30 PM im sure if axl wants this to go down well,he will be rehearsing with them.after all,he aint been spotted for a while has he.
Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: KIKO2K6 on April 14, 2006, 12:48:40 AM Is the band really rehearsing?
Its a totall mess ... AXl is in NY for a long time .... Tommy stinson do a show tomorow nite ... No replacement for Bh news If they are rehearsing Axl is not and he wont be in hes best shape for the tour Its a mess ...its a shame i am very scare ! Title: Re: rehearsing new or old songs???? Post by: godiva on April 14, 2006, 07:52:54 AM Well, Matt bumped into Axl in NY, so I guess he's still in NY. The rest of the band are rehearsing on the west coast, minus Axl.
How long would it take to band to rehearse the songs? I guess as they are all professional musicians it shouldn't take that long, so it will be hard to say whether they are jamming on the old or the new tunes. Besides, if they decided to play some more Illusion tunes, those would be 'new' songs for them as well. They hardly played any UYI songs in 2001/2002. |
