GN'R @ KROQ Inland Invasion

[CAFC Nick]

rehearse some illusion material so we can get past this lame setlist.

I"m expecting a virtually Illusion free setlist at this gig, not the right audience for that material.
I'm not sure rolling out the piano for this crowd is a good idea either..

..The piano will definetly be rolled out once for November Rain, but probably another time for The Blues too.

Then it will provide a nice restroom and beverage break for the masses...

I think that anyone who leaves during "November Rain" is definitely missing out on a classic that is powerful live.? Their loss.

Ali

I think he was referring that people will be going for a break during The Blues.

Why would anyone go to a gig, only to leave in the middle of a song??

I didn't even leave through Chk Chk Chk (!!!) when they opened for the Chili's and they were aubismal.

Do you know what kind of festivals they played over here in Europe?

The Download Festival in the UK (Cradle Of Filth was playing that day), Gods Of Metal in Italy, Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium as well as Roskilde Festival in Denmark among others.

They didn't change the setlist too much at those. I don't think GN'R gives a damn about the "masses". They play what they feel like playing and if that means singing some James Brown (see Rock In Rio 2006 setlist), they'll do it.

I see where you're coming from and agree to degree..

Although..

Keep in mind this a festival sponsored by a station who for the better part of 20 years hasn't even featured GNR as a part of their playlist.  Also, let's not forget the Motley Crue's misfire at the KROQ Weenie Roast which left a huge portion of the crowd wondering what the hell was going on.

Not saying GNR won't "play what they want", just saying what they want may not get the reception
some expect.

[jarmo]

They didn't get a warm welcome at Download either, but ended up playing an amazing set anyway.

Somebody at KROQ must think it's a good idea to have GN'R headline. Why would they book them otherwise?



Some of these "cool kids" might be surprised to see a real rock band on stage instead of yet another emo band.

This in my estimation is the absolute most important gig this band will play to date, it sets the tone and perception from this point forward in the US.  I think it's in their best interest to come out slugging and play a fast paced, blistering set.  Leave the multiple solos and the grand piano for another day.

But that would create the wrong perception no matter how "cool" it is.  I agree they could tighten up the setlist a bit, but they should not be afraid of playing piano-driven songs just because some snots will sneer at them

I agree that the long guitar solos need to go.  Maybe they shouldn't play "The Blues", but if they don't play "November Rain", a lot of people who went to the festival at least in part to see GN'R will be disappointed.

[axlrosegnr]

The positive side of my brain is telling me its nothing to worry about, that they just switched up the logo...since it still says guns n roses in the concert list....they got other bands to promote too....i hope that side is right this time, lol

[sjgotnitro]

Yea I see it now, I looked at list earlier but alls my eyes read was inland invasion, i did not see the Guns n roses part earlier. I'm still concerned that they removed it from logo and also statement. Not worried just concerned.
