Proper Promotion?! Duh?

[dungbeetle]

Yah, Axl should have played all the new songs in Mexico.  Come on people please!  These people in Mexico wanted to hear the hits.  Why would Axl play never played CD songs in Mexico on the first date of a new world tour.  This album deserves proper promotion.  This show is not the proper vehicle to launch new shit.  The mexican show was probably great.  As the fans from that show wake up this morning with wicked hangovers and ears still ringing, I doubt there going to lament about what did not happen at that show.  Any band that has a catalog of hits from the last twenty years that plays a gig geographically somewhere they have not performed in a while is not going to play all new shit.  As far as Axl being late for a gig.  Is that new.  Thats his fricking trade mark.  In the 90's  it said show starts around 9 pm or something like that.   Let the tour get some legs, maybe we will see some suprises.  Feel free to delete this post mods.   I just needed a platform to vent about stupid criticism.

I was there and i lament that there was no Chinese Democracy or Madagascar.

Ok fuck it.  I am wrong.  Axl you piece of shit how dare you play the songs that people already know.  I hate singing along to sweet child of mine.  Your setlist should have been.  1 Chinese democracy 2 Silkworms 3 Rhiad 4 Maddy 5 The Blues 6 Prostitute 7 Sorry 8 The Blues 9 The General 10 Twat 11 Better 12 Irs.  Encore My World.  Now that would have torn the lid off the place.

[dungbeetle]

My world unplugged at central park. ?Thats my dream

[dungbeetle]

Lucky, I am glad you like my setlist.   I think.

[ppbebe]

add oh my god and maybe garden for encore, then people who haven't seen the band for 14 years /never seen a show will go nuts!

Oh and how about a few covers. my fav pillow, ain't goin down.

Ok how about playing some different fucking songs that people know like Estranged, Right next Door to Hell, Yesterdays, Civil war, Pretty Tied Up.....They don't have to play new shit but how about something a bit different.....And I am not one of those people that don't go to shows and then complain....I flew to New York twice last year to see them and once to vegas in 01.....Thank god back then I atleast got a kinda different setlist with Oh my God, and Silkworms.....

[dungbeetle]

I think estranged is kind of black listed.  Its my favorite song.  I know it means a lot to Axl.  When the video came out they were so over exposed.  It wasnt that big of a hit actually.  Lots of people point to that song and video as sort of the tipping point of 80's excess.  I think that notion is bullshit.  Its a shame if he has reservations about playing that song cause of superfical reasons that I mentioned.  Christ I should blast that song right now.

and the cowbell solo? howcome nobody ever does that?

Because people don't know them as well as Appetite?

These people haven't seen the band live, they're excited to see this setlist.  You went to three shows, good for you!  Some of these people have never seen GN'R.  Maybe they want to hear the songs that we've heard?
It's not your problem really, is it?

I think they should've at least played Chinese Democracy in the set, after all, this is the 'Chinese Democracy World Tour' ain't it?

I think they should play whatever they feel like playing when they go on stage and play for a crowd that you are not a part of. 

Shit.

Shit.

I usually keep quiet about this stuff JB, but I thought you would've agreed with me about that.

I know, I wasn't there, and I'm sure the crowd loved it regardless, but why not at least play the title song that the tour is named after?

 I agree in that its one of their best songs and it would be great if they played it.    I don't agree that its up to us to say they have to.  They will play what they are comfortable playing.   The album isn't out yet.   Even when it is, theres no law that says they have to play the album's title track.

Where on that poster does it say Chinese Democracy World Tour?
