Here Today... Gone To Hell!

What 5 songs do you consider GN'R must continue to play live (on the up-coming tour)? And why?
Songs that they have been playing on current tours that should remain in the set...
I say:
1-WTTJ: Great live song. Gets the crowd, any crowd, going.
2-SCOM: One of the greatest cross over hits EVER!!!! A song this great has to be performed..
3-Paradise City: Such a great closer..
4-CD: Excellant live, and it is the title track.
5-Better: Great live. The beat always gives Axl something to do during the instrumental parts..Will be better now that majority of the crowd will be familular w/ it...
What 5 songs should they include and why?
1-Sorry: I think it has the potential to be a crowd sing along..It cab give Axl the well deserved rest he needs w/ out being a ballad.
2-ITW: I think it will come across great live. It would be great as a set closer, preluding to the encore.
3-Don't Cry: It has been missed in previous tours. Time for them to dust it off..As longs as it's played like it was recorded and not rocked up as it has been in the past.
4-TIL: Seems to be one of the more popular tracks from CD.
5- Estranged: Perhaps a replacement for NR? Or at least a rotating alternative. Like DC, seems many miss this song.
5 regulary played  songs GN'R can drop from the set list:
1-Out To Get Me: We have enough AFD representation, make some room for CD material.
2- KOHD: Tough choice between LALD. But I feel one of the overs had to go. KOHD is agreat sing along, especially the slower version, but LALD is so great visually. Perhaps they can alternate the 2.
3- Madagascar: Love this song, but it loses me live do to it's length (audio samples).
4- IRS: One of my least fav. CD tracks.
5- My Michelle: W/o out Baz will it be the same live?

Half to wait and see I guess.

I think some of the less popular older tunes, they should rotate in and out as the tour goes along.. and even stuff like the covers LALD and KOHD.. that would keep things more fresh.

how can you guys say that KOHD should be dropped from the setlist. KOHD from Rock Am Ring is in my view the best live performance ever by the guys. this is one song theyve really and truly made their own. its such a great sing along too.

i would be bummed if they dropped this from the setlist.

personally i don't care but i think they should do some illusion songs more like you could be mine and especially COMA :headbanger:

hasn't you could be mine been played at every show though.

Me too!!  It's such an awesome live performance.  I also would hate to see Patience dropped.  That whistling at the beginning sets everyone off and gets 'em ready to sing along.  (Not to mention it's my favorite of all time for sentimental reasons.)

Seeing as how GNR plays a good 20+ songs per night, hell, they could play all the above songs on different nights...but I get what you are after, the staples.

Seriously, I've seen 'em live 4 times.  The only tune I wasn't into was Think About You, Boston, '02.  It's just not a song I dig.  That said, Out ta Get Me is a great live tune, one that I wasn't always into...but there's a lot of energy with that song live.

I just want to be surprised.  Come tour time, I'm just not going to read the setlist threads.  Isn't that part of the fun?
