Setlist wishes / theories / comments for the 2006 tour

[EccoTides]

That's the problem though, those songs may be GNR standards, but this new band has everything to prove - And they simply can't do that leaning on too many of the old band's songs like last time.

[stinson4ever]

i think they should get rid of think about u.

[F*ck Fear]

They should cut You Could Be Mine and Think About You.

Songs like Jungle,November Rain,Paradise City are classic Axl tunes that I don't think should be cut. I think they also need to play Better and IRS

[Evolution]

Any song that will make way for a new song really.

Except for the hits, you pretty much need them.

[Solidius]

I'd like the setlist to start off with fast-paced rockers (WTTJ, ISE) then move into slower rockers/ballads (SCOM, Better) and into balladry (Don't Cry, Patience, NR) then move into epics (TWAT, Estranged) then move into rockers again to finish the show (Paradise City and the likes).

[Bad_Apple]

I really wish there was more instability...more of a mix up...where each show is different...of course incl' the standards (WTJ, PS, SCOM, NR, YCBM)...but change it up!  Do any "high profile touring machines" still do that?  Or is everything just so, so that the lights are in sync' w/ the songs?  Shesh.

[uncleslashbob]

since this is somewhat of a fantasy thread then i wish.. gnr would play every new song they have recoed in the post old gun years and only the latest versions of these songs.lol i could only wish that would happen

[jbenzz]

They should cut most of Appetite from the setlist... just leave SCOM, PC and WTTJ

From Lies, just Patience
UYI's : NR and YCBM are the only they played on tour other then the covers.
That's 6 songs that are a MUST at any GNR show. 

Alot of people want more appetite songs played but I disagree.  I'd much rather hear some 'obscure' UYI stuff like estranged, coma, locomotive, civil war, breakdown, 14 years, dust n bones, don't cry or pretty tied up (not all of them but trade a few up every show).  At least for the NY shows since they're going to get the diehard fanbase, they should play the fan favorites that weren't hits.

Other then that, I really want to hear the new songs, but I'm really afraid that they're going to play different versions of the leaks that we won't know.  It'll be really wierd hearing songs that we thought we knew and they end up different.

[whiny]

cd: better, catcher, blues, general, prostitute, cd, madagascar, irs, twat (+ single) (9-10 songs)
appetite: wtj, pc, scom, nightrain, it's so easy (& maybe mr. brownstone)   (5-6 songs)
uyi: ycbm, locomotive, november rain (or estranged), kohd (4 songs)

[philspectorshotme]

sadly beautiful and bastards of young please.

I just saw the Black Crowes at the Hard Rock in Orlando in January, they didn't go more than 2 songs without huddling up to decide on what to play next. Bruce Springsteen never plays the same setlist from night to night, historically you get the more obscure tunes on the last night if he plays more than one date in a city. Dave Matthews is the same way.

It appears to be consistent with "Jam Bands" Pearl Jam is at that point also.

[Amari2677]

If I can choose any setlist for the May NYC shows, here is what I would go with...
Don't Damn Me
Mr. Brownstone
Chinese Democracy
Sweet Child O'Mine
You Could Be Mine
Knockin' on Heavens Door
It's So Easy
Patience
Live and Let Die
Madagascar
IRS
You're Crazy (lies version)
Coma
Guitar/Drum Solo
Rocket Queen
The Blues
Black Leather
There Was a Time
Welcome to the Jungle
Don't Cry
Estranged - Encore #1
Catcher in the Rye - Encore #2
Paradise City

[GunnerOne 84]

You don't want any new songs added? I would love for him to unveil something new those nights.

[Amari2677]

Yeah, you're right.  I do want to hear some new ones.  Scratch Black Leather and Rocket Queen and throw in 2 new fuckers.

[GunnerOne 84]

I like the idea of a block of new songs in a row. Perhaps axl could do this, and give a good backstory on each new song, as to what its about, when he wrote and why.

[W 23 AXL II]

i just want something fresh....i was at the last two shows in 2002...and i will be at the first 2 new one's this may....i want something fresh, not Appetite again......ill take anything of course, but i want the new stuff.....i think Better and TWAT are AMAZING songs.....

Better, is just incredible actually. maybe even start the show with Better....hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[uzisuicide2002]

ok 1st i'd like to say that i lucked out so bad today. I get up and look on line at 9:30 and see that 2 more shows when on sale...THEN i was FUCK i'm not going to find tickets. But i ended up finding 2 tickets on the floor for the 14th i think each show will not be the same. on the 14th the set list could look something like this

Blues
November Rain
