What songs should Gnr cut from the set list when they tour again?

[IndiannaRose]

Oh, yeah I'd also like to add that they should play Don't Damn Me and Crash Diet somewhere during the tour. Maybe we could get Mysteron to send Axl's management a list of songs that fans would like the band to play on the next tour? Hey, it could happen.

[Crashdiet]

FOr the love of GOD drop Live and let die, and Knocking on heavens door.... they are covers and the weakest songs like IMO...

Mr brownstone has been played every gnr show ... time to move on

Definately out ta get me, and cut out the lame ass guitar solo's and lets not even consider a drum solo??

BAsically tunes that should be played

AFD - jungle, paradise city, sweet child, rocket queen - once in a while my michelle or think about you

Lies- Patience

UYI 1 - don't cry, november rain, coma perhaps? - but rotate those tunes up

UYI 2 - CIvil war, You could be mine, Estranged - same as above



I mean they will probably play 17-20 tunes live... I want at least half new tunes

[sweechile]

  of course i would like to hear mainly of course the hits that got them there in the first place,  and then completely
 demolish them with the new chin demo record.    forget the old filler songs,  michelle, rocket queer, its so easy,  please
just the hits.    also ditch bob dylan please.   even patience can go,  that puts me to sleep!!

of the new songs that i seen live that i know will demolish the old band are, in order:

MADAGASCAR   - huge epic with insane cool vocals
the blues   -      ties them back with classic rock
the axl piano song     (which i don't know the name)

The new songs that didn't work live were:

Chinese Democracy    -    slow and lackluster and complete silence when the band finished
silkworms    -    bad playing on the bands behalf, good lyrics tho
rhiad and bedoins  -     confusing and lack of focus

   and please my favorite,  im sorry im a chick,  is November rain (especially when he wears his glasses!)

[Hammy]

Basically cut virtually everything.  Keep Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine & all the new songs apart from Silkworms.  Have the likes of November Rain, You Could Be Mine, Paradise City & It's So Easy as ones which occasionally creep in for a bit of a surprise.  I believe they've done the 'Old w/ some New' tour although it was aborted i got my piece of them at Leeds Festival.  It's now time for the 'New w/ some Old' tour.

You guys need to get over it with Estranged and Don't Cry. We are never going to hear those songs live again. Frankly I don't want to hear Finck butcher estranged anyway, those were some of Slash's finer moments and it just wouldn't be the same without those guys playing the notes. The other songs were fine to cover, but emotionally estranged meant more to Axl than most of the other songs they played, which is why I don't think we heard it the last go around. I think Don't Cry falls into that same boat with him in terms of nostalgia. I don't seem him playing that song without at least one original member in the band who was there when it all began. Everything else is fair game though.

Well.... they play SCOM and it is about Erin!!! So whats the big problem about Don't Cry?

Are they the crowd pleasers in question? Maybe the experts would rather hear what fans really want than what laymen estimate public preference to be.

Weird I'm not the hardest core fan but I?m all for challenging shows. While many want to hear old songs must have been listened to like everyday. But at the least I can tell you that hardcore music freaks tend to lookdown unchallenging show.

dash, providing my memories are correct, Axl had an idea of SCOM in his mind before he met Erin.

What the hell are you talking about? Since when are songs like Don't Damn Me or Crash Diet songs the general public wants to hear? You say "Maybe the experts would rather hear what fans really want than what laymen estimate public preference to be" in retaliation against I don't know what. Since when is a board like HTGTH the general public? So if HTGTH sends a list of songs they'd like the new band to perform then suddenly HTGTH would become the general public? This makes no sense. I have no idea what you're on about. If a fan writes down the song "Pretty Tied Up" on the list that I suggested be sent to Mysteron then that would not be what the hardcore fans want to hear? Did you even read my post?

Son of a preacher,

Be sure that most of the fans who supported Guns N'Roses during the UYI World Tour are posting neither on this board nor on another : they just don't give a damn anymore about Axl's circus.
Are you satisfied ?
I hope so.

[ppbebe]

Did you even read my post?

I did so. Did you?

Now for the people that said November Rain should be dropped, are you crazy? (I'm not trying to be mean) November Rain built Guns N' Roses in the 90s just how Sweet Child O' Mine built them in the 80s. You have to realize, that most of the people from the concert crowd aren't gonna be "hardcore" fans like us. You have to think about them. To them, songs like Live and Let Die, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and November Rain are some of the big reasons why they might have bought the tickets in the first place. Those are the crowd pleasers. Knockin' On Heaven's Door was GN'R's biggest hit in the UK (it went to #2) and we all know GN'R will tour Europe first, so realistically, dropping that song would be a very bad idea.

You said "crowd". Does crowd mean HTGTH board members?

Anyway easy does it, Clitos. The laymen comment is not personally directed at you. I was just referring some petit trend towards speaking on behalf of others in place of showing their true opinion, AND vice versa. In most of the case, those know-it-alls state mere assumptions of their own as some established facts. I hope you get an idea what I'm on about now.

i think the silence after songs like chinese democracy will end  after chinese democracy will be released, but we`ll hopefully see.  gnr don`t have a fanbase like other bands, i mean they didn`t release a real album for13 years now and the shows they played were more like nostalgic shows, but i think axl knwos that.  and silkworms was only played in rio and vegas  so  they dropped it allready. axl played it only for dizzy and chriss. even if there were 3 new albums released they would play songs like november rain and jungle at their shows

when they drop something they should drop  rocket queen  and it`s so easy

[shaun]

Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Patience

These 2 song's while being ok, really arn't my cup of tea. KOHD is best left to Dylan and Patience slows the whole show down to much. When ever Patience is played live i always feel like shouting get on with it, we want the next song 

[Lesty]

knocking on heavens door, live and let die and al those awful covers

I agree. There is too much great original GnR material to be playing old Dylan, Beatles and Stones songs. And AFD material is way too good to NOT play. Mr. Brownstone, NightTrain, WTTJ, Paradise City and SCOM have to be left in the set. Otherwise, I think everything else is fair game.

[Malcolm]

they should go back to there original version of Knockin On Heavens Door, drop silkworms, Rhiad, and switch between out ta get me and think about you and my michelle

[Taz]

"It's so Easy" is one of the best GN'R song in a punk and agressive style. It must always remain.

[WARose]

i think they should drop it`s so easy because it sounded bad with tommy doing the most of the vocals and you could barely hear axl
