Most bands don't even change the ORDER of the songs in their set. It's "Wham, Bam, 90 minutes, thank you goodnight." Gn'R is WAY more flexible that the majority of Headliner acts out there. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but all in all, they offer way more variety and a hell of a lot longer show than anyone else. (of course, when you have 15,000 bootlegs, I'd imagine you'd become kinda jaded to that fact) 

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

Part of the issue is that their shows are productions full of pyro and stuff, so they have to keep certain things the same.  Unlike Pearl Jam for instance who don't have as much production to thier shows which affords them the opportunity to really switch things up.  And lets be real, Axl's style of singing lends itself to it being more difficult for him to pull off stuff that he hasn't really planned for.  Some of the best surprises in Tokyo '09, while awesome that those songs were played, came off as a bit of a mess.

[One.In.A.Million]

I loved the setlist from the last few years, but I just wish they included Oh My God, Riad and even Silkworms once in a while. I don't know why GN'R choose to ignore these songs, especially since they are from the new era, and one of them is even on CD.

Who knows what Rio has instore.....

I could live with that... Tommy said the pending Riad lawsuit was indeed a factor for it not being played live
