When CD comes out and they finally tour will gnr play all of chinese democracy?

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I was wondering since I am sure the new band is going to want to play mostly the stuff they wrote, do you think gnr will play all of CD then maybe like 5-8 of the classics for their set? I would think at very least it would be 50-50. If CD was lets say 15 songs, they could either play the album album and then the classics like wttj, mr b, scom, pc, patience, nov rain and kodh, then maybe a few other oldies.?  I would hope they would play atleast 3/4s of the new album every show.
I also wonder if they ever do get as far as the 3rd album if they would barely play any afd era songs save wttf and pc.

I think it will depend on ho well the first single goes. It would be nice to hear the new stuff but fan's that don't really know anything are gonna wanna hear the older tunes. I'll go either way.

[Neemo]

Nah dave I think they will play mostly new stuff. If there are 18 songs on the new album then you can prolly bet on at least 12-15 played live and maybe 3-4 old songs. November Rain for sure, WTTJ, PC, maybe Sweet Child.

I hope we don't have to wait too long to find out though

I think he should do like John Fogerty did in the 1980's and only play new material. But that scenario is unlikely. Some people will want to hear Jungle for the millionth time. Axl could do like Queensryche did years ago. Play some hits, play CD in its entirety, then play a few more hits. That scenario is more likely than the Fogerty scenario. But anything's possible. But I think another tour of rehashing AFD would be a huge mistake.

[madagas]

James, just for the record-I agree with you. 

[jameslofton29]

IF he tours, I want basically just CD. But if he has to play old stuff, I hope he plays some UYI material like 'Double Talkin Jive', Pretty Tied Up', and 'Civil War'. I think Civil War is more relevant now than it was back then.

[madagas]

 As for me, I would only want to hear Jungle, PC, SCOM, and a couple of Illusion tracks-not covers. Maybe November Rain or Estranged since those are Axl piano tunes.

No. Even after they release the album they will be sticking too a full on AFD setlist. However , democracy will be played over the P.A to warm up the crowd before the show.

Ladies , show us yer tits!

[mikegiuliana]

people that go to see big famous group[s want to hear the music that made the name big, not the new stuff... I want to hear the older stuff live, that is what most care about

[ckgent]

when axl takes his next dump do you think he will wipe or wash his butt??

Really i could imagine him doing 50/50.  Might not want to upset his hole too much by laying a new cleaning technique out in one go and forgetting about the old way.

Toilet hygine starts now!!

[GnR-NOW]

i say play half of CD, say 15 songs so play like 7 or 8 ... then play wttj, scom, nov rain, paradise city, then play the old songs they didnt play during the 02 tour, especially rocket queen civil war, and coma

[Evolution]

I say 50/50. Old material and new

[SINSHINE]

Axl could do like Queensryche did years ago. Play some hits, play CD in its entirety, then play a few more hits.

Actually, Aerosmith is contemplating doing just that on their tour this Fall. They're asking the fans which two albums they would like to hear played in it's entirety, front to back. The idea is to surround which ever album they play with two smaller sets of other classic songs (I think Toys in the Attic and Pump are the way to go with that BTW).

Now that I think of it, that might have been a cool concept for the 2002 GN'R tour with Appetite being played track for track in order and surrounded by two small sets; one of UYI and one of UYI2. Then throw Patience and a new CD epic at the Encore.

I agree I dont want to hear that many AFD songs or UYI songs, I want to hear mostly CD songs, and  I am sure the band feels the same way. They always seem to be more into the songs they wrote then playing the older stuff.

[badapple81]

I hope to hear some of the old stuff if I see GN'R, cos I've been waiting my entire life. I think we'll see WTTJ, SCOM, PC and a couple of the Illusion hits, the rest mainly new stuff, with maybe a 2 or 3 random Appetite/Illusion songs. I wonder if Axl will do something completely different and not close with Paradise City??

[mikegiuliana]

if axl tours again do you think everyone will have cd in their hands...? I think most people will want tohear all the classics.. if I see metallica ac/dc maiden aerosmith stones or sir paul I expect to hear their classics.. That is exactly what they do even if they have new materia becayuse they know that's where the fan base came from and that's what they want to hear

UI know some could say well gnr was heavy illusions back in 91-93, but I say gnr didn't have a lot of music to play and toured for a while with one album and lies eventually]... Now they have  a heavy rotation of great music from two different times.. Afd I can go for at least wttj, pc, RQ, pc, it's so easy brownstone... (i still say their afd tour was the best, ritz ruled!!! ) then you have DC, NR, estranged, civil war dtjmf not to mention patience from lies.... About 4-5 new songs and the rest old would suit me.. No fucking medly crumbs just the music that caused them to rule the world.. 

[-Jack-]

Im all for 90% new.. 10% old...

Im sure CD will have plenty of epics.. so things like NR and Estranged don't really need to be played. Maybe just WTTJ and SCOM to please fans. But if they ever do tour again.. I'd have no problem with mostly new.

50-50 would be ok too I guess tho.

We'll have to wait and see...

[dave-gnfnr2k]

They can always play for like 2 hrs 30 mins, so they can play like 12 new songs and 12 old. Just rotate old , new , old, new etc.

[GnR-NOW]

what if they played a cover of a velvet revolver song on the tour, what kind of reaction do you think they would get for that?

[Chief]

yea im hoping they play for around 2:30-3 hours.  i think once Axl mentioned that the shows would be getting longer too...

im thinking 50-65% new material, depending on the night
