Setlist wishes / theories / comments for the 2006 tour

[WARose]

i hope they`ll play them. axl is simply amazing on live and let die and i love the song in general.

kohd is an awesome song as well and especially the new version is great imo.

they should drop most of the afd songs +  patience/ you could be mine and play more illusion song though....

[mikegiuliana]

fuck that enough with covers, you have a huge list of songs..  Those songs are played to death..

[Olorin]

Ditch heavens door - LALD gets the crowd going and is one of the few songs that "new"GNR ?can play and blows the shit out of the old band.

What is the point of the Heavens Door version the played in 2002? It was a poor decision, if you are not going to play the GNR version - ?don't bother, because it put the crowd to sleep.

[godiva]

I also hope that they will play more new material. the problem here is that if you don't get bitten by the dog, you get scratched by the cat. If they play mostly new material, especially at the festivals where lots of people won't be die-hard fans, they will be critiqued for it. People want to hear the old stuff so they can sing along. I can already smell the criticism, about the crowd not enjoying themselves, the new band not being able to play the old stuff (that's why they play all new songs). If they do play a lot of the old stuff, critics are going to call the band a cover band, just riding on the legacy of the name. You cannot please everybody. I think we will hear a mixture of old and new material, with an emphasis on the new songs. I expect a setlist not unlike 2002, but with stronger new songs (I mean Silkworms, come on  ). I'm afraid that KOHD and LALD will be included. Sorry Mike.

BTW I agree with you on KOHD, but I just can't get enough of LALD 

[Axl4Prez2004]

Sorry Mike, absolutely not. ?Axl does LALD better now (from what I saw on the '02 tour) than he did back in the "glory days." ?Waaaaay more powerful now.

Personally, I agree on KOHD, but when I saw them in '02, my buddy's favorite was KOHD, hands-down. ?So, I think there's a segment of the population that needs KOHD.

I'm really sick of Patience and You Could Be Mine (Brain kills it) and also Live & Let Die is annoying now, but I'd like to hear KOHD live, either version

you asked me about my opinion....

wttj is also played to death.....

seriously, i like those songs and would love to see them live.... i never attended a gnr concert by the way.....

if they drop the songs i named and play 2 and a half hours, there`s a lot of space left for some more illusion songs and a bunch of new songs

[mikegiuliana]

I just feel if this band will be around a while why not drop those covers this time around and give new shit.. How many times have people said oh I'd love to hear axl sing this or that.. We all heard those two for the past 15 years already.. Let up a bit change some shit around.. I'll take mosly new music too, just want a few standards like wttj pc scom and maybe NR NT then eevrything else caa be new

I also wonder if being BH is out if they are able to play all the new songs he did big parts on??

being you are sixteen this must be special to you.. You could have heard oh my god first as a 9 year old as your first post gnr experience.. FUnny how two people could be seeing the same lineup and one feels they will be seeing gnr and the othr feels they are seeing axl rose

At least with wttj it's gnr's music ,give dylan and wings a rest

[ppbebe]

Agreed.

I'm all for new original materials.

i wonder about that, too.....   but i guess they`ll manage that somehow...
our speculation won`t change a thing anyway, i guess we have to rely on axl in regards of the setlist.....

but it strikes me though, how lald and kohd annoy you, but you`re fine with otgm tay and all those other antiquated songs they played in 2002.....

I don't care if they play anything from the new or old gnr material, I am just sick of those covers already.. Covers are things that culd change.. ANything afd will always be fine by me ,it is guns n roses' top album

well, if it comes down to it i don`t even care if they play lald and kohd or not

but i do separate between the new and the old gnr,  even when i never experienced the old gnr.... it`s not that i consider this band as the original gnr.......

But for you I wouldn't even think it was wrong if you loved the new band more because you were basically raised or grew up as this being them.. It's like someone getting into sabbath after ozzy left, or getting into vh after dlr left..

Regardless of the reasons I like axl rose and he's always been my favorite singer so I will see him live again... I won't be like 18 years ago saying gnr is here woo hoo, I'll be like some of the other nostalgic fucks just going to hear their favorite singer perform.... new music old music it should be another good time

if there was no new band, i definitely would not be a gnr fan now i think.... all my hopes are on CD

but i got into gnr with the old band though... i didn`t even know about the new band and chinese democracy until 2003 and that was when i started to visit gnr messageboards and became a "hardcore" fan....

i guess it`s not that easy to get into the new band after being a fan of the old one for 15+ years anyway.....

[mikegiuliana]

  Since 87 to be exact.. Loved jungle the first time I heard it.. I know people,older then me dig the new band, for me though I am into axl rose, and I am very interested in where the gnr name goes.. It's not as easy as it seems to just get into the band this way.. I'll be honest if they had used a new name I could have adjusted a littl easier.. Imagine being a fan for so long then going to a concert and looking up onstage, it's mindblowing because you already know what gnr is and who made them huge.. Very tough to have one of the members off the cross as your only member and still call it gnr..  As I've said a million times I will support axl rose, he could switch the band 4 more times and I would still be into what he does, but unless more ex members came back I would never see it as gnr..  It would be like paul saying I hired some guys this is now the beatles... Doesn't flow like that for me..

[JB9988]

i want to hear more new songs then anything. I wouldnt care one bitt if they didnt play the older songs. The band gets so much shit on them its time ti show them that they oplay just as good if not better then the old band.

[chris83]

half old, half new..............i want to hear songs like civil war, estranged, coma - more illusion songs from the new band, not only appetite please!

when axl still calls this band gnr, he has to play old songs.........

[mikegiuliana]

If I had cd I could better decribe what I'd like to hear
