the new GnR

[VRslash]

all i have read is that Axl roses's GnR will be playing at the bla bla bla. i havent seen or read any thing as to who is in the band. i know the line up of the 2002 tour but is that for sure going to be the line up for the 2006 show's.

I'm sure Richard's there... he's got the shows listed at his homepage

Probably the same minus Buckethead. But who knows.

Same as in '02 w/o BH. No reason to think otherwise.

We also know Dizzy will definately be there, cos it says he won't be able to make all the Hookers and Blow shows.

I think we all want to know what Tommy is goign to do, because SA got some dates that may conflict with the GNR tour.  I mean GNR is much bigger then SA, but there might be alittle more stability in SA, I dont know.  So hopefully we'll get something from tommy soon.  When he said there maybe some news on the GNR front soon, could he have been refering to the tour dates?

Nobody knew in 2002 that Paul had left/had been fired. And we don't know if Axl found another guitarist to replace BH or BH came back.

For some reason I have a feeling that Brain won't be coming back.  He hasn't seemed that interested from past comments.

It was announced a month before the gigs.

I just hope Axl has got some substitutes for all members ready and waiting to avoid another cancellation like last time?

Also, have people been speculating over the setlist on the forum yet? The classics were great in 2002 - starting off with Welcome to the Jungle and ending with Paradise City was the way it should be - but do fans want the same, predictable thing again, with all the standards left in and the new tracks just replaced by new new tracks? If they do something too similar to last time it will lose the impact it had before, especially without Buckethead, and I think they need to come up with a reasonably fresh approach and give us a few surprises along the way. Four years is too long to come back with essentially the same show and if they want the general public to take CD seriously they have to put faith in the new songs at these shows.

I think starting off with WTTJ is a must. Just to get the crowd going to begin with. If they start off with a new song that doesn't get a good reception they may not have the crowd shouting for more.
