That's wonderful news.

NO ONE FUCK UP THE UPDATE THREAD.

PLEASE!  :no:

Board members attending: axlrose, axlslasher, BaronWalker, dirtydeeds, girlincarwithgnr, gnrrock, gunsnroses85, lou_roses, vince41090



Updates go here.

look forward to chilling and hopefully reading UPDATES!

cheers Efish and Cotie!  :beer:

Thanks for the updates.

Just bumping the thread up so it doesn't fall off the first page.

Nooz will now be texting me updates.  :yes:

Just a suggestion, but if you're updating the setlist as the show progresses, then just edit your original post at the top of the thread as you go along. That way the setlist stays at the top of the thread and no one has to search through a half dozen pages to piece together the setlist.  : ok:

Anybody heard from people at the show?
Would GNR be on at this point?
I'm just looking at the local time here in Australia as I type this 2.41PM AEST and I'm thinking they'd have started their set by now, or something...?

Anyway thanks for your updates Efish
And thanks again for your help in AIM

for people in others countries......... MINUTES to go on stage??
thanx

It is 10:41 PM where the show is taking place.

probably about an hour

Wha.. they might not even be onstage as yet? How can that be?..
Oh well I just realised we had daylight saving changes here in Australia, hour ahead.. for starters
Hmm..

And in North America we went an hour in the other direction.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Nooz just got there......

It must have been "Better" then.. it's usually about that spot in the setlist isn't it?
P.S. No i'm NOT mocking or complaining about the setlist in any way I'm just making an observation

EFISH i assume your contact has already heard the demos of "Better" and "TWAT" and would have picked it out?

Ask him what they did after KOHD.

Better has pyro, so if there was pyro it was Better.  In case he doesn't know the song-

And it usually is played in the beginning of the show-

He says it was Better.

AFD or Lies?

Nice! I'm liking the changeups - More new songs (+1 at least, so far) and You're Crazy and Rocket Queen.... nice picks.

same here, but I could bet my whole life its Lies

HOLY SHIT, YOUR CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sORRY THAT GOT ME VERY EXCITED!

can anyone specify which version of your crazy was played?

You're Crazy OOOOOOooooo Child!

Id guess AFD

was baz on your crazy

exactly what i was thinking.

No.

Nooz had to leave. :-\
He says it was a really great show.

agh! are we ruined?

holtzmn73 you're the man now, we need your updates!  :peace:

thank u fish for the quick reply

The show's still going?

Whoa...22 songs, without solos.

Just told Roulley to update me as the other guy left so lets hope he does, if not he'll tell me after the show is over.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/holtzmn73/greensboro6.jpg)
This was from Nightrain

He says its encore time now.

so your crazy then encore or did we miss songs

I'm thinking they probably played "Nightrain" after "You're Crazy". But that's just a guess, given that "Nightrain" is usually the "end" of the show before the encore.

Im guessing night train

no patience or nightrain

Encore-
Chinese Democracy
Paradise City

Cool!!! Shame about no Nightrain but cool they cut out Patience... Boring...

1) Do you know what version of YAC they have played?
2) Do you know if Sebastian Bach shared vocals with Axl in that song?

What is "Indian Groove"?

Holy shit! So they did play patience and nightrain! This is by far the best set list this tour! :smoking:

Fuckin' A!! Hopefully this is a sign of things shappening up. :beer:

awesome setlist i hope we get a video of your crazy  :drool:

Yea it is! ?Now I can't wait to see them on Sunday! ?I haven't heard them do You're Crazy in a very long time!

This is very exciting!! : ok:

Jesus Christ, what a fucking setlist!! You're da man of da good news!!  :love:

Maybe we should have believed Axl when he said that they would mix up the setlist as the tour went on.

Yea now lets see what the whiners can find to whine about with this one.

I can't wait for reviews!

Don't say that, because they'll always find something to whine about.

My inner critic is still a bit disappointed that Live and Let Die hasn't been replaced with Yesterdays or Civil War. When these thoughts surface I take a whip to my inner critic and beat him raw, then douse him in gasoline and light him on fire. But he always comes back like Freddie Krueger.

the best setlist on this fuckin tour

was your crazy on the setlist from that picture that was at gnr.com?

I don't Like the Spot Your Crazy is in You Know they could of played it right before my michelle I would of Been Alot Happier thx axl

That's not you talking...just the bopping leopard!

I am sure Axl will make due note of this right away and move the song where YOU think it should be played in the set ::)

In the meanwhile we should take this over to the discussion section so we do not face banning! ;D

And the change starts to come slowly but surely. Nice set list.

He was just being sarcastic and replying to your "Let's see what the whiners can come up with now!" thing.

yes and im a girl :)

Agreed. Axl should come to his senses and play the songs we want, when we want them. Bastard :rant:

Well sounds like another kick ass show! I am crossing my fingers and hoping for down on the farm at the cleveland show. ?:beer:

Great to see another show going down without a hitch. Cool set list too! So lets get this straight, the only song that hasn't been played off AFD now is 'Anything Goes'?

great setlist. i hope that someone will upload a video of YAC  :)

11. Band Jam
12. Guitar Solo ("slow, sweet")
Those are the two I want to see.  : ok:

this is the best posible setlist

5 new songs are enough,and people who watched them knew that

in old songs we have a real crowd explosion and real emotions

fuckers,if you say we have a more new songs,you are in big trouble
you'll have a new songs on cd,so if you want more than 5-6 new songs on show you aren't right

First line I read from this thread was like "AWESOME FUCKING SETLIST!", so first I thought that they played new songs.. or at least some "old-new-songs". But noooo, nothing new really. But I gotta admit that the setlist is still fucking great :beer: We are just waiting for the new L.A Forum.

You Crazy, :o
by far the best set list this fuckin tour!!! :beer:

Just got back. FUCKING AMAZING. I pray there were bootleggers!

I mean... You're Crazy? The first time the appetite version has been played since 93! (I think) FIVE new songs. It was AMAZING. I was at the first night of Hammerstein, and this was VERY close to topping it.


Probably 10% knew the  new songs (yes, I realize that's really high) and even more knew IRS (I assume from the radio play back in Jan/Feb), and all the people that didn't still seemed VERY into them... Although people were really confused when MLK started talking lol

I'll write a proper review tomorrow if I have time, I got class in 5 hours.

Later


EDIT: Oh yeah, although it was nowhere near sold out, it was FAR from empty like some were predicting on MyGNR... OH - and Frank is the motherfuckin' man! He was so happy the whole time, always smiling, and he stood out to me far more than Bryan did in NYC. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Bryan contributed some amazing stuff to the CD, but live? Frank owns all.

EDIT 2: Friend just reminded me: Start time was 11:38, finish was 2:03

Seriously, time for bed now guys

cool review, i believe you are right about you're crazy.

No they didn't play AFD version of You're Crazy during 1993. Lies version was part of the acoustic set on Skin n' Bones tour.

Great setlist

sounds awesome!  cant wait for some concert-goers reviews!  thanks for the updates guys - great work.

you're crazy - fkn class.   got an email about MSG tickets today - I CANNOT afford this - but I really want to go...  argghh...!

they didn't have to do this, but i'd say, that is one fucking amazing setlist, not that i was one to judge them before, but yeah, thats the shit. i hope everybody who went there enjoyed it. and the people who weren't happy with the setlist, might appreciate this. this is the only gig where theyve done all those new songs at once right? excluding rhiad, silkworms etc

don't forget TWAT and Oh my god.

Great looking setlist.  The only thing I'd love more for Chicago, is if Perfect Crime opened the show.

Fair play to the band for adding new tunes & generally for overhauling the set.Things can now look up from here.


Thanks a mill Mr Rose for listening/reading your fan's gripes ............

Oh my god...my only extra hope was that they will play Rocket Queen at Worcester. Now I know it's a possibility. :peace: ;D

what about those 2?

great fucking setlist, so happy for the folks attending and thx for the updates

Seems like an excellant show.  I wish they would throw CITR into the mix but I'm sure they will at some point.  I think this is the best of the leaks next to Better. 

I hope they play you're crazy this sunday!!! i am getting psyched!!

Awesome setlist  :D

That is an Awesome setlist. :beer:

I can only hope that Cleveland gets a setlist close to that.  I love Rocket Queen.

Thank you AXL : ok:

After the all the talk and BS about the setlist I just wanted to put in my 5 cents...


  Great setlist...just great...I'm so fuckin' happy man, I love it. For some reason GNR/Axl seem to always pull one hell of a show out of the bag in Greensboro. Back on the 1st  leg of the UYI tour they put on a fuckin show similiar to the 4hr show at the Forum too bad there is no setlist from then but here is some info from that show

 
06.25.91 - Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC
opening act: Skid Row

audio/video recording?: no

notes: Apparently another long show - estimated to be around 215 minutes!! GN'R hit the stage an hour late, at 10 p.m. A large part of the audience left early, leaving many empty seats. Axl asks the audience to forgive them if their playing is a bit sloppy since they're still learning to play the new songs. After about 12:30 a.m., Axl invites the remaining audience to move down to the lower premium seats.

Note how 10pm was considered late hahahaha


Sounds like an awsome show last night can't wait for some reviews.

Rock on Gunners

great setlist. The guys that went there yesterday must still be shaking  :hihi:

I am really surprised... Great Set list

November 2nd 2006 was neither cold nor rainy. Guns And Roses took the stage in Greensboro after 11:30. The crowd was young and they could not have been disappointed.

Axl whaled through the Appetite for Destruction era music. He did not miss a note all night his voice was shockingly clear and strong. That he has not blown out that amazing voice was a wonder to behold. The new material was far more melancholy than Axl?s mood. It was the first time I had heard any of it.  It made me want to hear his reflections on the last few year, even if Chinese Democracy is not hailed a masterpiece. I want to hear it I still love his voice.

Axl played the small venue in Greensboro with the intensity he used to play arenas. He harbored no contempt for the small crowd and venue it was evident he was enjoying himself as was the rest of the band.

For a Guns and Roses fan it was fantastic, small arena, not crowded, nice venue with nice staff. We were able to move around freely and see the show from may different places. Great mix as well, I didn?t think the solos were to long or out of line with the amount of talent that is on the stage, and it was actually quite enjoyable to hear from everyone. Soulful sweet solos were given by the players, and the complaints I had heard about these interludes made no sense to me. I really enjoyed them. It was a nice break from the intensity of all the AFD era material and showcased the depth of the band.

The volume level was great, the bands energy level was high, fueled in no small part by what seems to be Fink, Fortus and Stinson?s never ending supply of energy! The most pleasant surprise of the night was how much I enjoyed Fortus and Fink?s playing; I look forward to hearing their work on the record. I like soulful guitar and have never been that impressed by mere technical skill.

No Slash and no Duff and another new drummer is an idea I guess I have grown use to. The newest band members played the old music with mastery. They made it interesting and there own at several points in the night.? The new guitar player Bumblefoot from NY has an amazing ear for picking out melodics and making them his own without over emphasis on speed and precision (much promise there for the future).

Axl whaled it was a great show. Thank you for giving it 100%. After all these years of confusion the show was the greatest gift I could have hoped for. After paying a fortune to see The Rolling Stones and U2 last year this ticket was a bargain.? The new stuff sounds promising. When they find the pocket in the new stuff like they were on it with the old stuff last night, it?s going to be amazing.

Come back and see us in Charlotte Guns and Roses!

Oh yeah and one more thing, never heard a word of advertising or promotion for the show. If I did not monitor HTGTH I would never have known there was a show. I am on multiple concert promotion list for the area and go to many shows. No one in Charlotte I know knew you were playing, Of course none of us listen to Radio anyway, glorious to be free of that chain at last?New Era, better balance, better spirits, excesses to wisdom, bring it on?.

Buy your t-shirts early by the time I left that stuff was packed up. (Not sure Peter Grant would approve!)

I don't think the next record will take as long to come out as Chinese Democracy, there is some chemistry cooking here.
 
(Sorry EFISH about the confusion with new songs, knowing the board should have known best guess wouldn?t work! Could not see to type in dark more details, you were a good sport about it all)

was TWAT played?

if you said that arena wad full,is it posible that there were more than 15000 people

No, it was no where near full.  Greensboro is a huge arena, around 23,000 for basketball but last night they had the drapes down in the upper areana so there was only about 4 or 5 rows being used upstairs.  Floor was only about half full and the lower wasn't full either.  At best, I would guess between 6,000 - 7,000 but it was a good crowd and I would say 3/4 stayed until 2:02 when the lights came on.

Duguncw1996

We'll there ya go with no new album. Here in San Diego if they played the original date scheduled I'd be surprised if more than 5k were there in an area that holds about 15k.  Just doesn't look good.   

Even though it was not sold out, the show was unbelievable.  I think that once word gets out that the tour is solid and is not going to get cancelled (like the first attempt did) people will go.  It looked like Axl enjoyed the show and the crowd, regardless of the size. 
A couple of the guys that sat behind me were cynical about the show (which doesnt make sense if you pay 75 for a ticket) before it started (the slash issue) and by the end of the show they were eating their words.  I think people are seeing that the new additions are unreal musicians and Axl means business.

For those of you who have seen the show on this leg of the tour, has Axl been chunking his mic into the crowd every night?  I remember back in 1993 at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill he did.  And then last night he let it fly again, about 10 feet in front of me (no chance to get it as it hit the guy in the chest and fell right in front of him).  Just curious if he has been doing this every night.  Picks and drumsticks are cool and all but that Mic would have been awesome to get...

Duguncw1996

who gives a shit how many people u played in front of.....

it is  rock n roll after all

dont matter if its 2 or 100,000 people u still give it ur all!!

 : ok:

It should be noted that GNR didn't even sell out this arena in the summer of '91 when they were the biggest thing ever.

I think it's great there's no marketing or communication. That's not what music is about! Music is about music, playing shows and building repertoire and respect from the fans, which they are doing fantastically. I can't wait for the Calgary, AB show!

a.

See, you add a couple songs and this is the response you get, nothing but positivity. That said, that really is a great setlist, and what sucks even more is I should have been at this show, but unfortunately things came up and I wasnt able to go.  :'(

This is easily the best setlist of the tour so far, and it seems the crowd was really cool...thanks for representing us North Carolinians well  :beer:

I saw this too... I took someone to the show who walked in skeptical and left a fan. Can't wait to tell my brother what he missed. The fact that Axl has lost so much money to stand his ground (be 100%) will be a mute point if the shows continue on like this. As excited as I am Chinese Democracy is going to be released in some sort of timely manner and have the band in place to support it, I am even more excited some stability has been achieved by the camp. Previously I was ambiguous about the release of the record, now I want to hear it. Making lemonade from lemons (undoing negative perceptions) can take a while. They look prepared to invest the time and effort it takes to go the long haul. Shows like last night go along way to firing up  a new generations of fans, and they were out there. As an old fan I feel vindicated.

Nice post - that's good to hear.

OMG, the setlist is throwing me into a frenzy!  I'm dying they played your crazy!  This setlist makes me want to party!!! :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Ok I talked to the guy who gave me updates last night and he said You're Crazy wasn't the fast version, he said it was more like the Live Era one.

I'm not one to give a proper review but I will tell you this, THE SHOW KICKED ASS!!!! Axl sounded AMAZING :drool: the entire night. IRS was about the best I have ever heard as well as Madagascar and Chinese Democracy. One funny thing I saw was during one of the early songs Bumblefoot kicked the strobe light off the side of the stage I was on because it was pretty much blinding him. It didn't break and just flashed on the floor instead. I could hear people yelling "Where's Slash?? and "Your no Slash" but I think they came away with a different view of the new band.....if they weren't messed up enough to remember. Also there were a couple fights that are always fun to watch and one particular woman who was so messed up she was carried out of the standing area THREE TIMES! Anyway the show was AMAZING and I HIGHLY recommend you to go and see them if you having second thoughts about going. They literally made me forget about the old band! :peace: : ok: ;D

Ah ok. The Live Era one was kind of a mixture of the fast & acoustic. I personally like it the best like that. That's great.


I would say that overall they're doing about the same crowds they were doing in 2002, which is really not a bad thing. To not have an album out or a single, and still be able to get anywhere from 6,000-10,000 people out to the show, is a great thing.
