VR setlist evolution

[mikegiuliana]

my only point is you have all these "sceptical" gnr fans who never fail to mention the fact that are gnr really a band when they dont "redord" together yet they dont bring it up when it concerns the most tightest badass dangerous band in the world vr. the same band who basically handed the frontman pre existing tracks and told him to do the best ones. the same dangerous band whos frontman is crying about how sorum has naked chicks walking around.

try reading this, scott wrote the music to the songs, and vr did the instruments... SO no one was handed anything to do, things were offered, scott must have declined then they redid the songs as ONE when they had the band finalised

So basically the entire badn worked on the album together.. It's not weird for the lead singer to write most of the lyrics because he is singing the music.. So for you to say he was handed music and that's the way it went was just BS.. Each song credits Scott for writing the lyrics to the songs, and the others for the instrumentals so your point is void...

As for scott he's doing the misery loves company crying, it's so typical when people quit their abusive lives, they want everyoine to become saints.. I've never been hooked on heroin, but I'm sure it suck to just quit and do a 180, he must be edgy and pissy alot and might be jealous that matt is having a great time, or maybe he's anti misogynistic as alot of grunge based bands were..

I think he was handed the music.

I just looked at the setlists from some of the UK shows.

They've done the same set at all shows. Seems like the first one (Jan 9th) had "No More No More" in it, but it was then dropped.....

Sucker Train Blues
Do It for the Kids
Headspace
Superhuman
Illegal I
Crackerman
Dirty Little Thing
Fall to Pieces
Big Machine
It's So Easy
Sex Type Thing
Set Me Free
Used to Love Her
You Got No Right
No More No More (Jan 9th only)
Mr. Brownstone
Slither


I really hope they do something next weekend. The same set three nights in a row sounds kinda boring.

What more/different/order are you hoping for in regards to a setlist? 

17 songs including 11 originals, 5 tunes from their previous bands catalog and a random cover make for a helluva rock show in my book.

Thoughts?

Agreed...

I assume Jarmos going three nights in a row, and though I understand slight disappointment over an unchanging set, I dont see how the show could be boring.

I also dont what changes one would expect...Maybe different covers ("NMNM," "Negative Creep," "Surrender"?)

[AdZ]

It would be cool if they didn't play negative creep this time seeing as last time they played london it was that.

I'd like to see them bust out something British..

Slash said last night that "Helter Skelter" is his favorite British song...VR covering that would be .

"Bodies" and "Tie Your Mother Down" are possibilities I guess...

If I cold pick one song for VR to cover, itd probably be "London" by The Smiths, but itll never happen. 

[AdZ]

Yeah, I'd love to see them do Bodies, the crowd would go nuts.  Actually, any pistols would be great, wasn't that the first thing they jammed on when they started playing together again?

[Booker Floyd]

Yup.? First song VR ever played (for a live audience).

Id also love to see "Angie/Mary" come back into the setlist.

[AdZ]

"The first rehearsal, the minute we kicked in, playing the Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen, it was just this powerhouse sound, dynamic, impactful, heavy, loud rock and roll,"

I was actually talking about this;)

Actually, any sort of difference in the setlist would be cool, I just wish they'd throw in the odd surprise or something.

With Matt's affinity for his days with The Cult and GNR's history with Ian and Billy, I'd love to hear the boys blasting "She Sells Sanctuary" or anything from Great Britains finest music enigma...

Yeah, but do you wanna see the same songs in the same exact order on multiple nights?

It's not like they depend on pyrotechnics and effects on big video screens for their shows, so they have to have a certain set list.

Last year, when they played over here in Europe, they did shorter sets but mixed them up more than on the current UK tour.

I personally would love to hear'm do some more GN'R tunes but I don't know if Scotts voice could hack it! I don't know if matt still does this but when I saw them last summer He played the opening drums ta You Could Be Mine If they would have went through with that song I would of had A fuckin' heartattack My only complaint about anything was I couldn't hear Slashs guitar very well. I was like five feet from him and couldn't hear his fuckin' guitar! but yeah a cult song would kick ass She Sells Sanctuary or Fire Woman.
