New or Old?

[JB9988]

I havent seen a topic about this yet if there is one sry.
Would you care if GNR justg played new songs. I mean its a new band and i would much rather hear them play their new stuff so the can get the credit they deserve. Besides the traditional into wttj and pc closing songs i would much rather hear just all new songs that were on CD and songs that didnt make cd and will be on a future record.

Ya dude there is one out there already ... but to answer ur q... yes that would be cool because all die hard gunner would already know the words to the old songs might as well do the new ones everyone has waited 15 years for

[JB9988]

i thought i was the only one i get bitched out for saying just play the new stuff. Ppl are always saying how they cant play songs only songs by the old band and axl cant make music any more so i say just fucking play new stuff and blow them away. And real gnr fans would like and listen to gnr no matter what axl hasnt changed and is still an amazing frontman real fans would see that with the receant leaks.

Well the thing is if the concert is like a 2-3 hour concert i say play just the new ones but if its a hell of a long one i say play as much as posssible. Well u see people like the old ones too because they werer hits and they get pumped up by them....... Also once the CD comes out people will either love it or hate it and if they hate it they will wanna see the old songs played and Vice versa

I think the majority of songs you will hear will be new. I just can't see them playing WTTJ to start their show anymore. Maybe we'll see them play songs from their UYI albums?

[Sparksry]

maybe

[Sparksry]

ya i agree but maybe there will be another real pumped opener

[misterID]

I think Jungle will remain the opener from now on, just like PC will remain the closer...

imo, the staples whould be Jungle, Easy, SCOM, PC, KOHD, LALD and NR. The rest should be new. Listening to the 2002 tour Axl didn't seem into the old songs anyway, except the ones mentioned above.

KOHD and LALD?? No way, 2 covers in a show?

I think the old ones should be WTTJ, SCOM, PC and 3 or more  from the Illusions

The rest new

It sucks to hear a concert don't knowing the songs...

[oldgunsfan]

I would agree that Axl should just play the new songs and nothing from the old band

Personally I think it would be disrespectful to the current band to spend so many years working on this album; and than only play a handful of songs off it.......

I would take it as a slap in the face if I was one of the members

[Sparksry]

Now thats a real good point they spent like 15 years on this to play some one elses material!

[KillYourIdols]

NO WAY should they just play new songs. People (myself included) want to hear Axl sing the old songs as well. Gimme a break.

No matter how good the new material is they should always play a mix.

It didn't suck seeing VR live before Contraband came out
that was a fucking incredible show and the played more than half the album

If not the song Chinese Democracy will make a great gloomy opener.

I'd love to see them play 100% new songs.

If this is truly a band, and not an Axl solo project, I'd disagree....play all of CD and maybe a few old tunes for encores or to close the show....NR, Estranged and Don't Cry, Axl's babies

[Sparksry]

as i said before its not fair to the other members to play old stuff

[oldgunsfan]

[Sparksry]

GNR have always played covers live. And these two, not only are they good, but are associated with the band. Axl really gets into KOHD and his scream is killer in LALD. Those were 2 of the highlights of the 2002 tour.
