If they get any more time than that to play I hope for less shit solos + covers and more Use Your Illusion era stuff like Breakdown, Locomotive, or Coma.

If Axl is reading, I am the guy that kept posting on your Twitter that I would let you snort cocaine out of my 19 year old girlfriend's asshole if you get the original line up back together.

So, I guess I owe you.

Please contact me to put me on guest list and I'll have her and some of the finest peruvian flake ready to be snorted at Coachella.

Thanks.  :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

The original lineup how interesting! Did they resurrect Ole' or is it a hologram?

I'm sure you'll get that call, hold your breath! :D

You know the line up I am talking about and Paco is smuggling me in that white pony as I hammer intensely on this here keyboard.

Get your saddle ready Axl.

I'd kill for Coma and Double Talking Jive, but I guess my setlist was more of a prediction!!!  : ok:

Coma is actually my favorite GNR track and one of my favorite songs of all time.

I don't think Axl has the voice stamina to hit the last verse any more like he used to tho....

Hopefully he's working with Sebastian Bach's vocal coach again and putting in hard reps on the stairmaster.

When he came back to the public light in 2006 at Hammerstein he looked like a true hoss.

You guys do all know Adler is coming back for this right?

Word is he is in even if he gets to bang the fucking cowbell on nightrain and leave.

I heard that they are going to introduce Steven Adler, open with nighttrain, he will hit the cowbell 3 times before the opening riff, and exit stage left, making way for Frank.

Listen to Rock am Ring 2006, that's the best have heard of him post illusions. 

I heard El Chapo is playing rhythm guitar now....

Guys... breaking down the setlist is a very big NO NO on message boards...  :)

With that said... for the few that are so very concerned about CD material being left out... I wouldn't worry about it too much..

Obviously I am just guessing... but I do think Catcher and TWAT make sense... while a few songs there's no shot...I think there will at least be one or two thrown in there.

I think there is a shot we could see the Appetite 5 do some songs for Coachella... and that would be really fucking sick !

FYI - I was very instrumental in convincing Axl to get everyone together again :yes:

Good to know im not the only one who always imagined Axl singing this song! For me its pure old school GNR and could easily fit AFD!!!

Quite certain Velvet Revolver songs won't be in the setlist at Coachella....maybe 1 Chinese song and 1 new song.

I imagine things will change when they do their own tour.

Why would openly talking about what songs you'd like to hear at Coachella be bad for the board?

Axl reads this board.

Hell, more members might read this board from time to time.

Perhaps if they see "Pretty Tied Up" enough or "Double Talkin Jive" enough they'll add it in as a treat.

I don't think it's bad...

They will play the songs they want to play doe.

Pretty Tied Up would be universally lauded.

I bet my coins PTU will be on the set! Looking forward to it!

My World

Show over, history made and GNR disbands once again and rides off into the sunset

way too many non gnr songs... (old gnr)

Too many CD songs on that set. I'd be somewhat bummed out if that is anything close to what they play.

24 songs is the ballpark I think for songs. 8 Appetite, 10 UYI, 2 covers and 4 cd songs

I would say it is unlikely that you ever hear Shacklers, Sorry, or Silkworms. Riad is a stretch, and I don't think they lead of with CD.
You may see Street of Dreams, This I Love, and maybe CD, IRS or TWAT with slightly converted solos.

I would love to see them break out a new song written by Axl, Slash, Duff (and potentially Izzy) with the left over CD Era members... If that bumps a CD track then I am all for that.

agreed with Thorned. My wish setlist would be: 8 Appetite, 10 UYI, 2-4 Lies & maybe 2 CD songs

that the funniest thing I've read for a while! Good luck m8 ;)

It would be cool if they did a couple of the VR songs. I've always wondered what they would have sounded like with Axl doing the vocals.

lol @ Shackler's Revenge.

 :rofl:

i seriously doubt there will be anything from CD. i bet it's appetite heavy mixed with the hits from uyi( November rain, dont cry, estranged,knockin maybe civil war. you gotta remember its a festival not a full gnr show as well

awesome man. makes me feel like I"m not the only one who thinks these morons wanting like 6-8 CD songs are crazy

Either you stop with the insults or you don't post here. Your choice.
Getting tired of the people who suddenly showed up, insulting other fans because they prefer different songs.



/jarmo

I'm with you!!!! 100%!! most people lack fantasy. a lot might also stem from the fact that Axl reportedly refused Snakepit 95 songs and Slash quit the band. from there on Slash couldn't write anymore...

If they did a tribute to Scott, I would hope that they would do

Memories of Candles and Incense.

It is a beautiful masterpiece. Even though it isn't a VR / GNR song.

Jarmo it was used in light humor. I don't really think anyone is a moron or anything. Sorry dude.

This is a reunion tour, and a lot of people are wanting a good amount of CD songs. Which makes little sense to me. I didn't intend to insult anyone. Sorry. And I've been a member here for 12 years. Just came out of the woodwork with the great recent news.

This getting ridiculous....

Allrighty then.  : ok:




/jarmo

And you are not alone.  Way more people here lately than have been here the past few years.

You just have to read the room.  There a higher contingent of GNR fans than anywhere else that has real fear that people will just try and pretend the past 15 years never happened.  And they are going to push back on that - HARD.

I happen to agree with you, but you just have to watch how your phrase it as to not ruffle feathers. 

Take it from me.  I am basically an expert on coloring within the lines around here.  Ask anyone.

I think it is possible that there will be 2 or songs from CD. I w?uldn?t bet on it but I wouldn?t be surprised if that happens. I don?t think people want more from CD. They just hope for it. The reality is that in the last couple of years we only have very few songs. And that was the new band performing. Now that there is some kind of reunion is even less likely.

I see 2 problems.

I think people that truly invested in the new band will be disappointed.

But I think that disappointment turns to anger when they see people outright cheering their exclusion.

I don't think it happens, I don't think its needed...but I'm not outright opposed.  And I'm sure not going to dance on graves if it, in fact, does not come to be.

It will depend on the line up. If we see Richard, Frank and Pitman then chances are they will play a couple of CD songs. If on the other hand we see Izzy, Sorum or Adler then most likely they won?t.

Coachella is a festival. I wouldn't expect a lot of "deep cuts".

I don't even know how long the sets are supposed to be. They cut the power in the past when artists were playing too long.

Welcome To The Jungle, It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Rocket Queen, This I Love, Attitude, Raw Power, Estranged, Sweet Child Of Mine, You Could Be Mine, November Rain, Civil War, Street Of Dreams, Nightrain, Yesterdays, Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Encore: My Michelle, Don't Cry, Patience, Paradise City

I would be disappointed if I went to this show and they played anything under 22 songs or something.

They have to go 8 deep on AFD, and AT LEAST 8 on UYI. I do want to hear 2-4 CD songs, and maybe 1 or 2 covers.

They should stay off TSI unless its Down on a Farm or Ain't It Fun

i know last year acdc did 20 songs

History says they get about 2 to 2.5 hours for their set at Coachella (AC/DC was scheduled for 2.5 last year, drake was about 2 hours and 45 min).  Coachella won't let them go very long past 12:45 AM...too expensive to blow the hard line 1 AM curfew by that much. 20k for the first 5 min past...then a grand a minute after that.

http://www.ocweekly.com/music/coachella-curfew-pushed-back-an-hour-small-comfort-for-robert-smith-6597328

Figure that's going to be right around 20 songs.

Once they're on their own tour, that'll probably change, and the setlist will expand a bit.

1) WTTJ
2) Brownstone
3) It's so Easy
4) Chinese Democracy
5) Live and Let Die
6) KOHD
Adler and Izzy pop in
7) My Michelle
8.) Rocket Queen
9) Yesterdays or 14 years
10) Sweet Child o Mine
Goodbye Izzy and Adler
11) You Could be Mine
12) Don't Cry
13) IRS or Street of Dreams (THE BLUES, DAMMIT)
14) Better
15) Civil War
16) Estranged
17) November Rain

18) Nighttrain
19) Patience
20) Paradise City (MEGA PALOOZA..2 drum kits, everyone on stage, cats and dogs, living together....)

Are you referring to Atlanta? off on No. 4?
or is there an actual song or demo by that title I should be hunting down?

Wouldn't expect it, but if GN'R paid tribute to Scott, Last Fight with Axl on vocals could be cool.
or Don't Drop that Dime.

To get to hear Coma live, would be the biggest thing happening on a stage for me. This is my favorite song in the whole fucking world! Name ONE song with a more EPIC outro!? No Way!

How much blowback are we looking at around here if not even one CD tune is played?

None, because, if that were to happen, that would be a decision made by the band, and all decisions made by the band are right, just, and pure.  IMO, there's no way Axl would agree to not play any CD songs.  But seriously, whatever they do will be championed as the right call. 

Considering five of the seven guys onstage are CD era gunners and Duff had no issues playing those songs when he filled in for Tommy, I think a good number of CD songs will be played.

IMO, Slash not wanting to play any CD songs is way different than Izzy not playing them when he guested in the past.  And if Izzy and/or Steven do make an appearance, there are plenty of songs that only the original five can perform and still have the hybrid group perform whatever else is on the setlist.

Agree...although it depends what you mean when you say "a good number of CD songs will be played."  I would guess 2-4.

And yes, much different between just coming on stage for a song or two (like Izzy) or being a member for a complete show.  Perfect example is Duff.  When he guested (back in '12?) he didn't play and CD songs.  But was he was a member for a full show, he did.  

IMO, the whole "will they or won't they" play CD songs is overblown.  At its core, CD songs are Guns n Roses songs, so why wouldn't they play some?  Because the guitarist didn't write any of the parts???  Tell that to Bumble and DJ...

Hahahaha

Well, you always tend to know how I think, and this is no exception.

I guess I'm wondering if there will be a real "can't you just be happy with you have" refrain if a few "entitled whiners" don't get the songs they like.

I am not...hopetimistic, things play out that way.

These are my predictions and my dream setlist,  the songs are not the order in which I think they will play them.

Remember that old amazing VR song "Messages" ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4-b_Ibghhw

The melodies are super great,the guitar work is excellent,I'd love IF they played that as a tribute to Weiland.
Meaning,if Axl agrees to it,finds it appropriate or even decides to give Weiland respect.

I remember some of the really nasty comments from Scott about Axl. So I don't think that Axl will pay any kind of tribute to him?

That is a total fanboy statement man... come on.

I'm cool if they play CD songs just not alot of them. And yes, people will whine and bitch if they don't play any.

I think they will play safe. Even if they play warmup gigs with a more eccletic setlist, Coachella will be more straight foward. So yeah, I think Jungle-ISE-Mr.Brownstone is a given as much as the encore with Nightrain and, after that, Paradise City. For Coachella I'd also excpect less CD, TSI or even new songs, if that's what they are planning.

Again this shit about people bitching about other people wanting CD songs? Why does it even bother you guys? If they end up don't playing any CD songs people will just ask for it in the next shows. Happened before even with the new band. No big deal, really.

Setlist: Chinese Democracy, Welcome To The Jungle, It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Estranged, Rocket Queen, Better, Live And Let Die, This I Love, Band Introductions, Dizzy Reed Piano Solo Ziggy Stardust/Catcher In The Rye, Street Of Dreams, 14 Years (with Izzy Stradlin), You Could Be Mine (with Izzy Stradlin), Sweet Child O' Mine, Jam, Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding/November Rain, Don't Cry, The Seeker, Civil War, Knockin' On Heaven's Door (with Izzy Stradlin), Jam/Nightrain (with Izzy Stradlin)

Encore: Don't Let It Bring You Down, Used To Love Her (with Izzy Stradlin), Dead Flowers (with Izzy Stradlin), Jam/Patience, Jam/Paradise City (with Izzy Stradlin)


This was the setlist from one of the Vegas shows in 2012 minus the Tommy/Ashba/Bumblefoot stuff.  GNR has never had a problem with incorporating it's album history into it's setlist.  I also changed Dizzy's solo back to Ziggy Stardust and Axl's solo before NR to Funeral/Bleeding as tributes.

Thanks to Jarmo for always posting show updates/setlists.  I copy & pasted then modified this from the HTGTH "Tour Dates" section on the main site page:  http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/tour/index.php

I'm going to go with what I would pick if it was my call.. who knows what the band will pick other than Paradise City closing out the show.

Welcome to the Jungle
Mr. Brownstone
Live and Let Die
Don't Cry
It's So Easy
Think About You

You Could Be Mine
Double Talking Jive
Civil War
Rocket Queen

Knockin On Heavens Door

Pretty Tied Up
Patience
Whole Lotta Rosie
Paradise City

It would be great if Dizzy did Ziggy as his solo  : ok:

And this is definitely the place to get show updates.

Well if this is true I said I'd be shocked if CD songs are played.  I guess I was wrong.   

 http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/reunited-guns-n-roses-to-play-new-t-mobile-arena-in-las-vegas/

Although neither Slash nor Duff McKagan played on the 2008 GUNS album "Chinese Democracy", songs from that set are reportedly being rehearsed and will be performed.

The blabbermouth article was derived from a much better article billboard posted, check it out.

I'd love to see the following songs performed with Slash, Izzy, and Duff. I know this is probably more of wishful thinking but it would be really cool if it happened.

This isn't a set-list or in any special order:

Down On The Farm
Don't Cry(Alt. lyrics)
Welcome To The Jungle
It's So Easy
Mr. Brownstone
Paradise City(Mother intro.)
Rocket Queen
14 Years
Sweet Child O' Mine
Coma
So Fine
Right Next Door To Hell
Perfect Crime
Yesterdays
Dead Horse
Garden Of Eden
Don't Damn Me
Mama Kin
My Michelle
Chinese Democracy
Better
Shackler's Revenge
If The World

Do you guys think these songs will be on the reunion show??  I love Axl but just not sure his voice can handle it

Coma was  demanding vocally even on the album !

I'd prefer they did Breakdown.

I would love to her Back off Bitch, Garden of Eden and Locomotive.

I cant see them breaking out any rare songs on the first leg of any tour..   I think it would be something they would save for returning shows

Locomotive would be awesome!!

I think Axl with his lower register would do an amazing job on The Garden. Such criminally underrated song...

Agree 100%

I also hope they change up the setlist on each night.

Like keep 75% if it the same, but switch up some songs.

Nah, I think Slash+Duff will acknowledge Chinese Democracy has some great tracks and I am sure Slash could do some great solos on C.D. songs that fit the classic GNR style.

I'd pay an extra $50 on ticket price if I knew I'd get "Coma."

New Songs This 2016

Do you think we'll get surprises like, maybe Spaghetti covers mixed in a 5 minute medley ?
Or a jam before a hit ?
I'd love to hear Locomotive played,if not a jamming version of the song would be killer

Wouldn't be opposed to them digging out Axl's red Sgt. Pepper jacket either.

If Slash stands on top of the piano during the outro of NR, it might be the single coolest moment I've ever personally witnessed. Nothing wrong with a little showmanship.  : ok:

Damn right... one of the first images that pops in to my head when you mention GNR...is him standing on the piano during the video.

set list prediction for April 8. First night of the reunion and i think they keep it fairly straight forward. but one change....WTTJ is a perfect opener, and I love the CD/WTTJ 1-2 punch to get things started, but I think they save WTTJ for a little later in the set like they did back in the day.

I'm gonna say they open with a cover song. so maybe they start by giving a tribute to someone who has recently passed (Lemmy, Bowie, etc.) or they open with one of their favorites from the Stones or Queen. maybe go back to their early days and play Jumpin Jack Flash. the rest is pretty standard, just a couple extra Illusion songs in there.

Cover Song (JJF, or for a prediction that's even more of a long shot, Paint it Black. have always dreamed of them playing that song cause I think Axl and the band would absolutely kill it and take it to a whole new level).

only wish is that Izzy is involved...a lot.

yeah^^^^

Izzy is underrated. he always will be. He was that quiet dude that played good guitar that had a great vision for things and he complimented Slash just amazingly.

This is sort of a devil's advocate question for the hell of it, but I think it bears asking.

For YEARS we heard how Axl could not be forced to do something he didn't want to do.  How if he didn't feel like doing something, you just had to suck it up and accept it.

Why is Izzy not given that same treatment?  Izzy is not there for one reason and one reason only : Izzy.

He clearly isn't into this.  Why are so many insistent on him doing it anyway?  Why doesn't he get that same pass Axl got for 10 plus years?

pretty sure you have NO IDEA what Izzy's reasons are.....and on top of that, he very well may be involved. We just don't know yet.

Just playing Captain Obvious!  :P

That's a really good point. Maybe when all is said and done, he really was done with it in 1991, and is simply content to guest-spot with his buddies whenever the spirit moves him.  It wouldn't be the first time he passed on a big gig. He turned down VR once Scott came into the mix, just because he didn't want to deal.  Who knows where his head's at now?

He's involved...but not featured in one ad?

Seems unlikely.

Glass half full!

I think it's safe to say that if Izzy, Steven etc. take part, it's going to be restricted to guest spots. And that's fine. Better they put on a long show with all the songs we love, rather than an hour and a half AFD5 nostalgia fest, for 50 yr old fans to dump their collective muck to.

I think they bring out Izzy and Steven at Coachella, if at all, and only for Coachella.

Could be, if the Vegas shows turn out to be glorified rehearsals for the band to get their stage legs.  Which, by the way, I have no problem with and think will be much more interesting as far as song selection goes anyway.

It's so Easy
Live and Let die
Better (Richard on Lead)
*Axl talks about current lineup
You Could Be Mine (ladies a gentlemen, Frank Ferrer)
Catcher In The Rye
Slash/Richard duo
Sweet Child O' Mine
Chinese Democracy (classic 2002 version)
November Rain
Nightrain
Street Of Dreams
Raw Power
Yesterday's
There Was A Time

Encore:
Rocket Queen
Patience
Estranged
Paradise City

It sounds like you think GN?R would be in some way handicapped if Izzy and Steven were involved.
You realize that the only albums they don?t play on are the Spaghetti Incident and Chinese Democracy, right?
The two albums that have been all but forgotten by the majority of GN?R?s fanbase.

I personally would love to hear some Spaghetti songs thrown in, and I?m sure there?s someone out there that would like to hear some Chinese era material, but you must realize we are very much in the minority.

I will be in Vegas, and enjoy myself regardless if Izzy/Steven are there, but it would certainly be more enjoyable to see the total package up on stage.

I think his point was that if it was the AFD5, it would be a more AFD heavy setlist and a shorter show.

I pretty much agree.

Don't get me wrong, I too will be in Vegas and will loose my mind if Izzy or Steven come out for a guest spot(s). I'm just saying I can't see Steven on songs like Coma, Breakdown, YCBM, Estranged, Pretty Tied Up (just to name some.).  The only one he could maybe play is Civil War. And those are all songs I'm hoping the big 3 dust off together.

You want to see a GNR show without Welcome To The Jungle?

I shake my head at these sometimes...but that has to take the cake!

If Axl tries to pull off Coma.....no way in hell!

Sticking to my gut feeling....Izzy will be involved more than people think....too much cash to be had and maybe only one bite at the reunion apple. :-\

I forgot to put that in. But, I wouldn't really mind if they took it off for a few shows. I know a lot of fans are casual who only listen to a few songs so it's a important song to keep people interested.

Honestly, I my opinion ("dream" set list) there is a lot of songs I like better than jungle

They don't play Jungle and you got a riot on your hands....literally. Those tickets are pretty expensive.  :hihi:

This is probably the worst set list possible:
0. NOT Welcome To the jungle
1. Guitar solo
2. Rant
3. My world
4. Piano solo
5. 10 minute intermission
6. Never Gonna give you up
7. Axl Rant
8. Dizzy Reed bongo solo
9. The asshole song (2002)

He could probably do coma. If there was a time is "the hardest fucker we do" then I'm sure they can pull it off.

Coma would be harder than TWAT....hands down...just my 2.

They used to say 'Coma' was a bitch with all the tempo changes.

But every live version I have, and I have 3 of the 4, they crush it.  Sounds really good.  Band and Axl.

Band would be fine....the outro for Ax would be tough at his age.

Yeah, perhaps.

But even back in the day, he did that part pretty much stand still.

That Live Era b-side did have a fuck up. If I remember correctly, Gilby hitting a wrong chord (no wonder with so many changes). :P

They're both bitches for different reasons.

TWAT- Insane guitar solo, long screams, crazy keyboard

Coma- insane guitar solo, a shit ton of lyrics, tempo change

Also locomotive is probably pretty hard, but these two are harder

I think a lot of people want to hear CD songs and TSI. Honestly, I bet the setlist will be similar considering they are not making a completely new band, just adding two new members.

A reunion would be if they kicked out everyone and got old members, in this case a few people wanted to leave to work on other bands, so Axl needed two new members. Bam, you got slash and duff. Not really a full blown 1987 reunion, which is fine by me because I don't really give a shit about that. I hope Axl brings CD with slash solos, and hopefully soon.

Really?

I dont know ANYONE (off these boards, in real life) who would subscribe to this opinion.

 ::)

A fan favourite (including mine) is Estranged...would be nice to hear
I would love a good ol' rand from Axl

I wonder if the jumbo trons would display hot ladies prior to the show like years before

I hope no drum solos...

Well yes, most casual fans off boards setlist would probably look like this:

Jungle
It's so easy
Sweet Child O' Mine
KOHD
November rain
Patience
Civil War (maybe)
Better (maybe)
Estranged
Don't Cry
Paradise City

-
A lot of people are missing out on really good songs that are underrated. Example: Most songs off of CD, a few on TSI, most of UYI. Of course people only give a lot of songs only one chance and coming to the conclusion the whole album sucks.

In reality (my opinion) no GNR album is bad.

^^ Fair call. I have a lot friends who follow music and specifically guns who will not have a bar of CD but they love all of appetite and Illusions, as well as TSI. . I'm not for telling people what they can and cant like... but i reside firmly in the basket of my like for guns stops before CD. Thats just my personal opinion. And im not bagging out anyone who loves CD... or wants CD stuff in their set list for these shows. I'd prefer other stuff getting a run well before CD, stuff that doesnt always get played, and with Slash n Duff back, id like to see right next door to hell, yesterdays,  dust n bones, Perfect crime... the list goes on...

That's just me though.   

Yeah, I'm more interested in some UYI material getting dusted off, personally.

At the end of the day, I'll be thrilled with whatever they choose to play. I'm just glad this is happening.

I personally don't want more than 1 or 2 covers at the most. 1 cover if I could pick the setlist. (This doesn't count the actual recorded covers like KOHD and LALD)

Chinese Democracy songs? I'm totally cool with a couple or maybe up to 4, but I think most people that are coming to these shows are wanting the older material. They were already playing older material anyways the last several years, just simple cut back 2-3 CD songs, through in UYI era stuff and add a couple more to make the show a little longer.

Like I've said before in general something like this is what we will probably see.

6-8 AFD
1 Lies
UYI I maybe 5
UYI II maybe 5 or 6
CD 2-4 songs
2 covers

Something in that area is probably what will happen. If this is a "true" reunion of the band, we might 1 or 2 new songs too in there.

I'd be happy with them just playing older stuff and some CD stuff and whatever. I would like for this to be a true reunion where they throw in a couple new things, and push a new album announcement and jsut fucking do it man.

Slate it for fall 2016. I mean fuck. How long does it take to record an album? Axl/Slash/Duff and whoever else they get in there can get a high quality album done in 2 months maybe 3 I think.

WIshful thinking

Seems a nice mix to me. But camon man, TSI stuff needs to be there. I love Raw Power and I'm dying to hear Aint it Fun for the first time live.

You're asking the wrong band. :hihi:

Return of Riad N the Beduins. Everyone hated it, I thought the live version was cool. Sucks they only played it a handful of times before the album was actually released. Right Next Door would be a cool return too. A depending how good his voice is, perfect crime

Count me out. I've always loved the song. And like I said before, I think the song is the closest to the description of "AFD on steroids" to me because of the excelent guitar riffs and awesome drums.

'Perfect Crime' is probably a big ask.

Other hand, if he actually can do that one, these shows are going to be awesome.

I simply just don't expect the set list to change much from the last time Axl performed...

If Axl wanted to play Perfect Crime or Pretty Tied Up over the last 20 years ... he would have....

I hope the addition of Slash opens up the set list a little bit... but I don't necessarily expect it to.

Largely agree.

We might get 1 or 2 more UYI songs we haven't heard in a bit.  'Dead Horse', maybe.  Something like that.

AFD:

- WTTJ, ISE, MR.BRWNSTN, NGHTRN, MICHELLE, THNK ABT YOU, RQ, SCOM, PC

LIES:

- USLH, PTNC

UYI 1:

- LALD (Cover), NR

UYI 2:

- CW, KNHD (Cover), YCBM

ChinDem:

- CD, BETTER, THE BLUES, SR

BonusTrack:

- Solos, Jams, New Songs, Rants

 :smoking:

yeah Down on the Farm gotta get played. its awesome. I kinda forgot about that.

I do think in a sad way the setlist might be just very typical. 3 covers, and the general stuff you'd think.

Bad Obsession, Pretty Tied Up, Breakdown, Locomotive and Don't Damn Me are those darkhorse songs that are just fantastic that dont' get played.

Just open the with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvFP7fhKEO0 😘

I get the feeling that Axl associated a few songs off of the UYI albums with individuals.   Now that they are all back together I think we may hear a few more rarities

I could see some interest in a TSI? song or two from casuals. Rightly or wrongly- there are two TSI? songs on Greatest Hits- and "SIDHY" (though seriously doubt they break that out) did have a video with fairly decent MTV play if I remember correctly. Anyway- TSI? is pretty much Classic Guns' Undercover IMHO. "Down on the Farm"- or Duff playing "Raw Power" and/or "Attitude" could give the shows a little "rarity" factor. I'd be all for it.

Meanwhile- no idea what plans may be for Chinese material. "Better" would probably have the best shot of translating (IMHO)- but who knows...

Yeah the greatest hits album got it right.

You get all the legitimate hit songs, with Sympathy. The only one that kinda hit was "Nightrain"

is was a mild hit.

So basically play the GH album live, maybe without Ain't it Fun and Sympathy then add UYI and CD songs. Easy start.

I wouldn't prefer this myself, I'd want more appetite songs.

Well, i d like to see "give in to me" played live by GnR! Axl would be amazing on this..it s one of my favourites among slash's tunes outside old guns..

Wow...I don't hear this often - I'm with you - I love that jam.. : ok:

First time I seen this video but that would be epic.

This should be fun to compare once the shows are over.

 :peace:

There is one cover I would love to see Axl and Slash doing it again: Dust in the Wind. Loved that rendition.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu26EC7bZnA

Do you think they will do the old gnr KOHD version with the reggae time?  ;D :hihi:

They often change up the covers with each different tour.  Would love to see them do Queen's Keep Yourself Alive, but I think it's a good bet we'll see something from Motorhead or Bowie, which would also be nice.

Axl on this vocal shape would be fine for me!!!  :beer: :beer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3PwmPd95mw

jamming Estranged right now.......would be my only requirement.....think about it. Axl Slash and Duff fucking locked in....lyrics on point. I know that this was written about Erin. However, the genius of a truly great songwriter is someone who can write a song in a way that has a timeless feeling and can apply to multiple situations that can occur in your life. From the mid section instrumental break to the end.....wow. All 3 can stare in the mirror and relate.

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times
to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

Anyone else hoping for a Richard/Slash Wild Horses?

Duff and Axl coming in at the end as usual.

Pretty sure we know the lyrics to this song.

What are you even talking about man?

Pretty sure Slash hated playing this song too. ;)

I just hope they'll take it where they left it.

no nostalgia use-your-illusion-tour-moments.

I just want 24 songs at least. I think that is reasonable.

8 from AFD
12 from UYI
2 from CD
2 new or covers

something like that. That is what I would prefer.

I can't picture Richard Fortus cosplaying Gilby Clarke. Makes more sense they doing something new.

It would be cool to see it, but it would look weird I think.

I'm all for it. Just happy to have the chance to see them.

Maybe.

Are you suggesting Richard hasn't played parts that others have played before him?  ;)

 ::)


I'm TELLING YOU that makes no sense the act of imitating a solo piece performed by a different pair of guitarrists which is not a GN'R's song.

Ashba never played Hendrix before Civil War. Finck never played The Godfather's theme. Bumblefoot and Fortus never played Christina Aguilera's song.

Next time I can draw, if necessary.  ;)

The Ashba and Finck example is different, that's pretty much a Slash solo spot in its own.

Wild Horses, not completely a solo piece though, Axl and Duff are part of it also. Slash plays the main guitar part in the song as well.

Yeah, sure. Alrighty.  : ok:

In this case Izzy did it with Slash before Gilby. So the ideal situation would be if they do it again with Izzy. Now if that is not posible. Then why not keep doing it with Richard

Actually... no. Let's see what Gilby says on his interview to Guitar World, 1992:

"You mentioned earlier that you were into Keith Richards. His influence comes through on your solo spot. I thought it was a bold move to get up and simply play "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones.
I didn't even know that I was getting a solo spot until the day before the first gig! They just came up to me and said, "So what are you going to play in your solo segment?" I mean, why would I get a solo segment? So then Axl said, "Well, Izzy always used to do a little solo before 'Patience.' Do you think you can come up with something?" I just didn't want to get out there and do a lead guitar thing. Slash is the lead guitarist. So I decided to play "Wild Horses," which is one of my favorite songs. Lately, I've been doing a slide guitar thing around The Beatles' "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds." Both of those songs tell you where I'm coming from."

So that was something brought by Gilby himself.

And "why not keep doing it with Richard"? Well... maybe because he has some personality? I mean, one thing is being a GN'R's guitarist, you are supposed to play stuff like, I don't know, the band's songs, right? Another thing is playing a solo performance created by a previous musician in his improvisation moment.

Why you say no? It says there Izzy used to do a little solo before Patience. Do they have any obligation to play Wild Horses? Of course Not. But if I have to pick one I pick Wild Horses.  I think it would really cool if they bring it back

I was talking about playing the same solo piece that a previous member has already played.

i heard Motorhead's version of Sympathy for the Devil last night and it got me thinking....how cool would it be if GnR opened with that. it would sorta be a joke that they are just picking up right where they left off. and it would also erase some of the negative vibes that go along with that song for GnR fans. 

The more nice boys, the better  :hihi: :hihi:

Dream would include coma and dead horse.

didnt Izzy do a Rod Stewart song as solo spot before patience? I was only joking I think it was

This would be a great show.

25- Paradise City ( Featuring Steven Adler & Izzy Stradlin and the all band)

 :beer:

Ok, I thought I was gonna give this a shot, but found it to be completely impossible. To many songs to chose from....Therefore I will never complain on a setlist ever.

Some cool scenarios i hope and wish for is:

- Opening with Chinese Democracy and Slash standing on top of the amp, all alone at the start :))
- Play lots of Illusions, since it's 25 years old. You ain't the first, Coma, Breakdown and Right Next Door to Hell are some live rarities I hope they play.
- Play at least 4-5 CD-songs.
- Fill in with guests sometimes, both former band members like Izzy and Bumble, but also others, maybe former collaborators, like Michael Monroe joining on Bad Obsession and Ain't It Fun when in Europe, Steven Tyler guesting on Mama Kin, and of course it's always cool with Baz.
- A good Duff-time, with New Rose, Attitude, So Fine, and maybe one from Loaded.
