Is Axl re-living the Past?

[GNROSAS]

The more this tour progresses the more it seems he is re-living the past...
This tour is very similar to the UYI tour.

* Demo leaks on the radio
* A Summer tour, without album..
* New member Joins just before the tour.
* Similar setlists every single show
* Starting the show very late (This time seems to be in every show )
* The Coke references (I just hope they are false)


I for one was very very optimistic about this tour but the more it progresses the more it makes me feel a dejavu to the past...

I was hoping this time Axl (15 years later) will act a bit different..

* I was hoping? an album release prior/at the time of the tour (especially after the 2002 fiasco)
He already did a pre-tour with 80% songs from appetite in 2002...Why on earth he is doing one again now??
* I was hoping for mixed setlists with more variety (Where are the illusion songs?). These players are quite proffesional who can play a lot of shit and improvize...
* I was expecting Axl to show some respect and not be so late..After all this years it gets really frustrating to start 2-3 hours late almost in every show...It is getting really really lame....and it seems that the "technical difficulties" are just a cover up story in every single show...
* I didn't even imagine he will be back on coke to be able to handle the pressure...(I really hope that it is just a rumour)

As i said i am really really excited for this whole tour and new beggining and i support the new band 100%...But to me it seems like he wants to relive the past...In some respects he reminds me the Adler situation...

[nesquick]

Well, if he wants to do that, he'd better bring Slash and Duff back.

[wells]

He did mention prior to the 2002 that he felt like things, in a good way, were starting out like the UYI tour

And we all know how the Illusion Tour ended

He doesn't really have a present so the past is all he has to offer and go on.

People cannot escape their past and are doomed to repeat it.

nah he's not living in the past, if he was he'd be playing lots of afd with a replacement group

and I am sure most of GNR fans're not living in the past, if they were they'd jump their ass off on songs from afd and be dead crowd on the new ones

Well you can't jump in the air if you've never heard something before.. 2002, 2006, it's all the same and both times still waiting for the new album to give the new band their own identity.. if you tour once every 4 years and no one know sth eband  what can you expect...?

Why do I want to hear replacements play afd era gnr tunes, what's the point of a new band... The it becomes cover almost with axl singing using the name

[badapple81]

Why do you want to hear it? Cos you went crazy for it in NY.

Because it sounds cool... because you are a die-hard fan... because this is a warm up tour... because Axl feels like doing it... or just because. I really enjoyed the show and I am sure I will enjoy it again next year with most-new-songs
