Setlist wishes / theories / comments for the 2006 tour

[Krispy Kreme]

I hope it is mostly new songs; to do the 2002 set list again would be lame. Anyone remember August 1991 when Axl ranted about playing new songs because doing AFD would be like "jerking off"? Well, here ?it is, 15 years later, so let's have some new music and not the same ?old ?same ?old (despite its brillance).

Plus, does anyone notice a disconnect between the type of music then and now? It is two different styles. If he plays new and old stuff it will be one schizophrenic show.

its time for axl to dust himself off and get his voice in order and give us one in a million.

get in the ring wouldnt go amiss either.


locomotive and coma are musts. but the chances are remote to say the least.

I would weep with joy if Brian May came out onstage at the RDS and played Catcher in the Rye with Axl...

SG

[philspectorshotme]

i would weep if brian may came onstage at the rds.


after sitting through bullet for my valentine, brian may is the last thing id need.

[Carlos_f_Rose]

I would weep with joy if Slash comes out onstage and plays November Rain's solo properly.

[fridayfan13]

well, id expect to hear jungle, paradise city, and november rain. after that, im not sure. i think they will pull out some different songs like civil war, but we can expect more new stuff.

[philspectorshotme]

yea, id expect at the minimum 4 or 5 new songs, maximum 6 or 7. the rest pretty much sticking to the set of 2002. hopefully he keeps in the more minor tunes like think about you, crazy and adds to them with some of the hidden illusion numbers like dead horses. but id doubt it. it'll more than likely be a straight ahead greatest hits package outside of the new tunes.


but we must have one in a million! and coma!
we must!

One in a Million? ?I hope so too, but keep dreaming. ?Then again, wasn't the reason they never played it because Slash refused to? ?That's no longer a problem.

They've played it several times...

Really?  I just remember an old Slash interview where he says he would never play it live.

I bet most of us have OIAM live on boots or on the pcs. 
I don't see the band playing it now, nor do I hope so.

A show of just new songs will be schizophrenic enough. To my satisfaction hehe. 
Don't you notice the dissimilarity between the new songs. Each song is distinct from the others. No band ever has enjoyed this dynamism. 

Ditto to the rest of your post.
When they're about to release the album(s), they play as many new songs as possible.
Even if they're not, it can't be the same set as 'the 02 shows.

[Mr.Intensity]

I seriously think opening night is going to start out with "WTTJ" or a song we haven't heard at all yet.

Just imagine how fucking electric it will be when the lights dim...

[EccoTides]

Obviously, the last tour leaned far too heavily on the old material, and this time out I'd really like that changed - Hence forth, I nominate these songs to get cut altogether:

November Rain
Live and Let Die
My Michelle
Rocket Queen
Mr. Brownstone
Out Ta Get Me
Nightrain

I was going to nominate KOHD and Think About You, but I really liked how the new band played them in 2002... So I'm fine with those staying on. As for the others, they're worn out and don't add anything to the shows - We've heard them a million times before, and they take away valuable time. And don't get me wrong, RQ is one of my favorite GNR tracks - But it's not a necessity as a live track.

And yes, songs like NR and Nightrain are anthemic and fan-faves, but cutting it out of the show would make room for at least 3 new songs. I've never been fond of either one, actually.

[KIKO2K6]

KOHD
YCBM
Think About You
LLD

[comaknight]

Live and Let Die is worth keeping for Axl's scream alone.

[tristanj13]

November Rain

 

[Eduardo]

My Michelle
Out ta Get Me
Brownstone
Its so Easy
YCBM
Rocket Queen
Think About You

Ahh preety much all the old songs.. They should just keep WTTJ, SCOM, PC and November Rain

NO MORE KOHD OR LALD, make new covers for god?s sake!

they should add Estranged and Locomotive and that?s it.. The rest new songs

[saint seiya]

no more old gnr songs. leave that shit in the past or for a reunion

[Eduardo]

no more old gnr songs. leave that shit in the past or for a reunion

They need at least WTTJ, SCOM and PC

I wouldnt be happy if I went to a GNR show and didnt hear these 3

then they can rotate the other 3 old songs

[jameslofton29]

KOHD- This song has to be retired

Nightrain- Finck kills the vine of this song with his horrible backing vocals. Makes it sound amateurish.

Think about You- I consider this filler on a GNR setlist. Play a new song instead.

Its so Easy- One of my all time fave GNR songs. But it does not fit with this new band.

Out Ta Get Me- Same reason as Its so Easy and Nightrain


I'm not really interested in hearing any of the old stuff, but the songs I listed really need to be removed from the setlist.
