VR show tonight (7/21) at HOB The Joint in Vegas

[mikegiuliana]

I wonder if the monster house song was made for the movie and not something they just created as a song they liked..?? If it was made directly for the moive around a scene or something we might never hear them play it.. It's like that F&Fs playing, it suited that scene but it's not good for vr..

this will never get seen in the tour section

[tomass74]

Apparently the Contraband songs they played all had extended parts and new added bits and pieces too. Would like to hear some boots from these shows.

That's what I heard too... Everyone said it was awesome...

Who cares about there set list?  It is just good to see them playing again.  Can't wait til the next cd.

[Neemo]

I can't believe it's just Contraband rehash

Just kidding....glad they rocked the joint...oh and that they aren't broke up...poor GNR-Croatia is proven wrong again

[PhillyRiot]

I love how people bitch about the setlist who weren't even there.  I bet the folks there had a great time.  I've seen VR 3X's and each time they delivered.  I can't wait for Slash and crew to return to Philly.  I'd have no problem with a Contraband heavy setlist.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Looks to me like the fellas are trying to get back into playing shape and get the creative juices flowing.

It's damn good to see them onstage again.

[Falcon]

Not sure why a few are wondering about the setlist, Matt said there would be no new original VR tunes played on this short tour over a month ago...

I've seen them 8 times and that 8th time(New Years Eve in NJ) for the first time I was disappointed. I don't know if I'd go see them play the same exact show again...but they won't once the real tour starts so its all good

[mikegiuliana]

even I can say I wish more groups would be ballsy, Like if vr said this is something we've been working on it's called _____.. WOuld be a nice thing

[tomass74]

That would be kinda cool I guess. Honestly though, I know I like to hear songs that I know at a show. Most of the people there do too. New songs don't usually go over too well. The only good thing about this day and age is that we would most likley hear it on the internet.  I thought the setlist was fine... It's just a little warm-up week of shows...  I do still wish they would throw in "Come On Come In" sometimes and "LTA" although they most likely will never play that one.

2 years ago this thread would be 7 pages long by now... but with axl being out right now.... nobody seems to care....

that's right no one cares, why should they? axl and izzy are touring together (fucking UNREAL experience to witness) and slash is playing with scott weiland, haha oh the choice is so hard...

Maybe that is because this isn't VR's site.... Here you go..? 15 pages with 25 posts a page rather than 20..

yeah, for some reason I can't fathom people like to bash VR on this site which is like bashing GnR from the AFD days if you ask me

Not so different when two members from VR were part of AFD lineup. Contraband sounds closer to AFD raw rock than UYI era to me.

of course. If this was 1991 and duff matt and slash were doing something on the side the threads wopuld be huge on a gnr site.. It's now 2006 so more axl fans are running around who blame duff or slash so of course you'll see less activity in a gnr forum for v.. Kind of sad being slash did all those amazing gnr solos

[GNR estranged]

was there ever a reason given why they play the same gnr and stp songs every time they play and they dont add different ones?

Brownstone and it's So Easy had nothing to do with Axl when they were written

As far as gnr songs I don't think they want to play too many... With stp who knows scott may feel the same,.,.. I see they added roadhouse blues..... I hope they just add more vr songs period..

[GnR-NOW]

Maybe the point of the VR shows is to test the fan base, and see if they can compete with GNR, I mean GNR after the Euro shows + NYC will have down 38 shows.  Only imagine what its going to be like if the release CD and tour NA
