Instead of the solos

Since the solos seem to be a bit much for most fans, why not have the rest of the band do a cover song or two while Axl takes a breather? After all Ron, Dizzy, and Tommy have all performed live vocals before. Why not have them play a couple covers during the course of the show like when they used to have Duff play Attitude on the UYI tour? Axl still gets a breather and maybe the crowd doesn't get restless

they already play 3-4 covers a show (Dizzy Stardust, LOLD, KOHD, Beautiful, SOS). play something off 'Village Gorilla Head', 'Normal' give the solo members a chance to show off their material
or learn a new trick like buckethead and the nunchuka act (I quite enjoyed that actually)

Well I meant that they could play actual cover songs with Tommy, Dizzy and or Ron singing to replace the cover solos

Maybe "they" enjoy playing the solo's .. maybe "they" WANT to play the solo's. And maybe the fans who dont like it should stfu about it , be happy gnr are actually on tour and A. if yer @ the show go buy a beer , shirt or take a piss while theres a solo or b. if yer listening to a bootleg hit skip on your music player when a solo spot comes on.
It isnt just axl who might need a "break" either .. maybe brain needs a lil rest after pounding the drums for hours , hell they all might need a chance to cool their heels for a few minutes.
Lets just be happy with what the band is presenting us with mmmmmk?

I think it's a great idea as well. I enjoy the solos (especially Beautiful and Ziggy Stardust) but I'd love to hear a Perfect song or something from VGH in theres. I think it would be pretty cool. But there would probably be too many dicks in the audience that would boo if someone other than Axl was sining and ruin it. Hopefully not, but I don't trust people.

I guess it should go just fine if they were doing Dust N' Bones. Even So Fine - for that one, can't be worst that Duff singing...

I didn't mind the solos myself, I enjoyed them and I got to enjoy listening to the solos in the background while grabbing a couple more shots of Jager and rest my own vocals, which were tired from singing along with all the songs
And in 2002 I thought one of the highlights was the Buckethead nunchuks/breakdance/solo routine, that was very cool
But it seems that the general consensus is that the shows are great, but there are too many solos. I thought maybe doing a cover song or two might aleviate this, if other band members need a break no one's saying they have to completely eliminate the solos

i don`t like going to a concert ...and the band just play all the fucking songs....and that`s all....
the reason they played the solos...even slash and matt ...and duff...is because is their time to show themselves as a single musician to the public...and it`s a diferent stuff.....or does anyone like to go to a concert that start with the first song to the last one....without something diferent...c`mon....it is boring....that`s the reason of the solos.....why new bands don`t make any solos....
IS BECAUSE THEY FUCKING CAN`T.........
SO STOP THE SHIT ABOUT THE SOLOS......AXL IS A MUSICIAN....AND JUST A MUSICIAN CAN GET IT.....SO SHUT THE FUCK UP....
I LIKE TO HEAR SOLOS.......
PS: SOME SOLOS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS...YES...THAT IS TRUE....
