New songs on the tour?

[fif]

i wouldnt be to dissapointed if pc wasnt played there may be a song thats even better then pc to close with!

I don't think I've ever been to a concert where the closing song was something new that no one had ever heard.

[jimmythegent]

it depends on what the first single is - if theyre filming the first single for a vid and its not a song we've heard, id expect it will be played

other than that, id say we'll hear the majority of the leaks, but no other new songs

[Chief]

This is my feeling as well. Its been too long and crazy process for them to play a lot of new songs from the album Before its even out!

Paradise City is one of the greatest Rock N Roll anthems ever, of course Axl is going to play it people expect him to.

And that's what I think CD will be missing, anthems. From what we've heard so far none of them are anthems that could get the band high in the charts

[BluesGNR]

I doubt we'll hear some of the leaks.. maybe, but there are so many others that we don't even know exist.

[alexh0618]

I'm sure we will get The Blues and Better. Didn't Axl say those were his favorite new songs?

[GnR-NOW]

I hope they do 50-50 through out the show, but for the last song PC is the money maker.

[Jonathan]

I'm sure we will get The Blues and Better. Didn't Axl say those were his favorite new songs?

Yep, he did.

"Among Rose's favorites are "Better," "There Was a Time" and "The Blues."

Back on topic, I really want new material, I would love to see a show with just new songs but that won't happen.

I would love to here the leaks live, must sound amazing.

i was talking ny shows. the old songs they have down so i would think they would play a shit lload of new songs. But i agree pc is an amazing closer ppl expect to hear and it probably will be played. i think more new songs willl be played over oold ones.

[GnR-NOW]

A few of the articles I have read about the up coming tour all says something along the lines of "were they plan to play songs from CD", while nothing is official, maybe they do plan to bring out the "big guns" this time around, like I said Im hoping for a 50-50 old and new.

[ROSE22]

you'll hear what new ones you've already heard and also some that you haven't heard.  personally i'd be surprised if it was any less than 50/50.

[jimb0]

I personally don't think Guns should do a new material dominated set.  I don't think that is a good move until they've actually released an album.  I don't think Axl wants to play never before heard songs one after another for a crowd of silent fans.  But I could be wrong for instance the Use Your Illusions Tour '91

But these small New York shows, "four of them" could just be to test new material live for fans. 

Here's My own opinion.
Play the leaks, play what you've already played and play a "couple" unheard songs. 

But I  really want to hear the old songs one more time, especially  without Buckethead throwing his own style in.

Ugh, that would be horrible.

Yeah, it would great for us bootlegger... bootlegies... you know what I mean, it would great for us to hear them, get used to them and have new material.

But to be at a concert where the band are playing purely songs that you have never heard before?

I detest hearing many new songs live, two in a row is awful. Fair enough if it's the support band, after all if you haven't heard any songs then you don't know them, and all you're doing is checking them out.

But for a band that you paid to see to play songs that you can't really get into (especialy with this band, fuck knows where the songs would be heading) would be just... Awful.

Shadow Of Your Love.....




....Oh wait...

Good songs are good songs, though. They'll catch on fairly quickly and people will begin to know them. Also, it will make people want to buy the album.

I don't think too many people bought AFD again thanks to the 2002 treck.

[Jim]

Dude, there is a huge difference between playing a few new songs (they got it spot on in Rio and the rest of the tour) and playing an entire show of new material.

Anybody that is downloading the bootlegs, letting the songs grow on them, is probably going to already be planning on buying the album anyway.

[GNFNR_UK]

Aren't these shows meant to promote the 'upcoming release' of Chinese Democracy though? If that's the case then i'd be expecting to hear a few songs from the album. Definately a few we haven't heard yet.

[the dirt]

I see what you're saying Jim.

However, have you ever been to a show where you knew no songs, and enjoyed it tremendously just the same?

I saw Marylin Manson when they just started touring in support of Antichrist Superstar and knew nothing about them. I never even heard one song. I was told they were a really heavy industrial band, and that was all I had going in.

And I was blown away, it was an amazing show in a great venue.

[EccoTides]

I'd imagine we'll get The Blues and Better, plus a couple we haven't heard yet. We won't be hearing OMG, Rhiad, or Silkworms, I'm 99% certain. And There Was a Time, as much as I love it, doesn't strike me as a track that would work very well live.

But that's just me.

[jjp125]

I would love to hear Better.? I forget but did they play OMG, Rhiad, or Silkworms on any of the US dates last tour? I wouldnt mind hearing OMG since I havent seen it done live. I just hope there are some change in songs since the last tour.
