TWAT, I.R.S. and Better played in NYC, a coicidence or not?

[padje]

I've just seen the setlist, and I can't help to wonder, 3 songs that where recently leaked, all played in NYC last night, is that a coincidence or is it proof that the leaks where intentional? What do you think? I'm starting to think that the leaks where intentional...

If this is being discussed somewhere else, feel free to move the topic

[Oh My Choking Soul]

Not a coincidence. IMHO.

[Back Off Bitch]

I was thinking the same thing when I was coming home from it last night...

[MeanBone]

since the songs leaked. the very least they could do was play'em for us since we all loved them

[mikegiuliana]

the fact they leaked and they were played was no coincidence... Axl let you hear what he wanted you to.. He doesn't want to play anything "new"

[ARC]

I think we will hear at least one "new" track before these NYC shows are done.

I wouldn't be suprised if the set list new songs wise stays the same..

I was 50/50 on whether the leaks were intentional and after the setlist from last night I'm 85% sure they were intentional now.

[Lucky]

they didnt play CITR, and it was also leaked, but from a diferent source than Better, TWAT and IRS.
only thing I'm sure is that the band didnt leak CITR, but I'm not so sure for the other 3.

what are the chances those songs leaked and those are the songs they played live and rehearsed...?

[WhatIsItMan]

I was there, and most of the crowd was totally LAME during these songs.  I was quite surprised that they didn't have a clue.  I was rocking out though!

I was there, and most of the crowd was totally LAME during these songs.? I was quite surprised that they didn't have a clue.? I was rocking out though!

cause not everyone knows them.... maybe an album before would have helped this...

[TWT]

The songs were leaked during the time when the first batch of live shows were being announced to the media and they needed a promotion tool. No matter what Axl says, it's quite obvious that we were meant to hear these when we did.

It turned out to be a top idea, and would have been an even better one if they had got the album out in time for the tour.

I was on the floor against the stage and everyone around me sang every word of them

Not really he most likely didnt want to play any "new" songs.. And since those were the ones leaked why not play them when lot of people have heard them + any new songs would have been bootlegged which is propably the main reason any unheard songs weren't played. Besides as said many times the NYC shows are warm ups.. The main tour is in Europe so possibly he is saving the songs for european shows.

Sorry no conspiracies here.

[mornintrain]

yeah i was thinking that too.  pretty much every new song we have  he sang.  the leaks were intentional, and it worked out perfect.  axl wanted people to be used to the songs so that we could sing them during concerts.  the gunners next to me were singing the new songs and u could tell who was a forum user.  the people that didnt sing were gunner friends. 

[Mandy.]

Not a coincidence.

I still think Axl wanted those songs leaked and for now, I'm not changing my mind.

[DMJ]

axl leaked those songs, its clear

unless thats all he wrote in 12 years

[saint seiya]

haha

[ppbebe]

RS reported that Axl's favs among the songs they were working on were better, twat and the blues and that was the first time we heard the title better.

donno about the leaks but I think the mention there couldn't be a coincidence. they were playing the 3 tunes anyway.
