Which of the new songs are you looking the most forward to hearing live?

[Stoned In L.A.]

Personally, I find it extremely difficult to choose which of the 'Chinese' tracks that I'd like to hear most. Each are truly its own separate masterpiece.

If I had to narrow it some, I'd go with: Shackler's, Scraped, If the World, There Was A Time, Prostitute, and This I Love.

[babydolls]

God cant wait to hearn all of CD really, but out of those i havent yet heard live...hmmm:

There was a time
Shackler's
Scraped
Prostitute

but to hear IRS and Madagascar again...well i pity those standing next to me!

[AxlsMainMan]

There Was A Time
Better
Scraped
Riad N' The Bedouins
Sorry
Madagascar
Prostitute

[Jude]

My top-5:

This I Love
Prostitute
Scraped
Madagascar
There Was a Time

And yeah, they have to play Better too, it's always so great live song. Of course they could easily do over 6 songs from ChiDem., it dont mind if that happens 

[Sillything]

Sorry, This I Love, Prostitute

Wouldn't mind if they played a minimum of old songs. I want to hear the new ones!!!

[Waldorf]

Chinese, Shacklers, Better, Street of Dreams, If The World, There Was A Time, Catcher, Scarped, Rhiad, Sorry, IRS, Madagascar, This I Love, Prostitute haha 

[Christian]

All of them, but specially:

Shackler's
TWAT
Catcher
Scraped
Sorry
Prostitute

and i'm a lot curious about how "If The World" will sound live

Alright, which of the new songs do you think they should drop? 

In my opinion I'd be happy if they lost Street of Dreams and Madagascar.  Also wouldn't be too upset if they didn't play Chinese Democracy, but considering it's the title track, the only single to receive any sort of substantial airplay, and a likely show opener, I'll give it a pass. 

What I consider staples of the new material are Better, Shackler's Revenger and TWAT.  In my opinion, these should be played at every show much like Paradise City and Jungle.

As for songs that should be played often, I wouldn't mind hearing This I Love, Catcher in the Rye, Sorry and Prostitute (my money is that Prostitute is a track meant for the live stage).

Having heard Rhiad played live in Detroit in '02, trust me when I say that it wouldn't be the greatest sin to leave this off regular setlists.  I always thought this was the weakest song on the disc and the reaction it got in Detroit seems to suggest it's not a favourite with the crowd.  Granted, perhaps with familiarity it will be appreciated more, but for my own taste, I'd rather something from UYIs be played instead (cough, Estranged, Civil War, Yesterdays, Dead Horses, Perfect Crime).

Anyway, that's what I'm hoping for.

Cheers,

Andrew

Shacklers' -- But I'm a little perplexed how Axl would cope with the tone on the vocal.

[faldor]

I was never a fan of Riad from the boots I heard.  BUT, I've gained a great appreciation for the track since the album was released so I'm willing to give it another shot.  And I'm excited to hear it live.  Musically, it could be the bands finest track as a whole to date.

[Christian]

Axl's live Voice fucked Riad in 2001/2002.

It's a great song, IMO.

WOW!!!  "downzy" is a perfect username for you!!!  Why, at this moment in time when EVERYTHING is looking GREAT AND POSITIVE, would you want to turn this or any other thread into something negative?? 

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Prostitute, Sorry, If The World, Shackler's, Scraped

Indeed. Kinda pointless to whish to drop new songs for no reason.

Also, to dismiss Riad live just because he didn't like it in Detroit (a really weird gig where Axl and the band were having problems), that was non-sense. Even on boots, I always loved the song.

Also, the band and Axl got much better after 2002. I bet Ron will kick everyone ass with his double neck in Riad.

The album in its entirety, every song speaks to me in a special kind of way, some are more favorable in ways, but I just want to hear the whole thing "LIVE". 

[KIKO2K6]

Sorry and Shacklers.



The disco beat on Shacklers is very cool let s see if Frank does it right.

[JDA]

Sorry, This I Love, Catcher In The Rye, Shackler's, End of Days.

[Billo]

Sorry and This i love..

[journey]

This I Love, Shackler's, Scraped, Sorry, Prostitute, If The World.

My sentiments exactly.

A few of the classics will be nice, but I'm going with the hope(s) that I will be hearing a lot of Chinese Democracy. It's time that this album gets the exposure that it deserves.
