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

[downzy56]

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

In my opinion I'd be happy if they lost ........

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?? 

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.  

Some of the new album we've been hearing for close to ten years now.  It's not a slight against SOD or Madagascar, but if they're only playing 16-19 songs a night, I'd prefer to shed a couple of songs that we've heard played live numerous times in favour of stuff we haven't heard at all.  Had we never heard Madagascar before CD's release I would be all in favour of playing it live nightly.

As for Rhiad, just not a fan and voicing my opinion as such.  I've heard it in bootlegs, live and on CD and still find little to like.  And since it was greeted with a collective yawn in Detroit and sounded horrible at RIR, I don't think I'm far off to suggest something like this.

I guess you missed how I said that Better, TWAT and Shackler's should be treated as required songs on a nightly basis. 

Anyway, I figured after reading the same responses for three pages I'd ask the flip side to the question.  Didn't realize certain people were so sensitive.

Cheers,

Andrew

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". 

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. 

Great minds think alike .  Welcome to the board Fresno .

Funny, because they didnt play Riad in RIR. Also, I think the Detroit gig wasn't really a normal show - people didn't seem to care about ANY of the new songs, wich were played in a row.

Saw some people saying how Riad was one of the most impressive songs in Vegas.

[ppbebe]

Riad is the most difficult GNR song on rock band.
i bet the band is looking forward to playing it live.

in any cases this thread is not asking what new songs you look the least forward to hearing on youtube.

add me in. for that reason i'm so keen to hear cd opening the show.

[Faye 4 Axl]

I think Democracy as an opener wud be great - can have a nice long intro building up the tension much like
jungle was used in 06.

Axl spoke of just hitting is with 3 knock ur socks of openers in the past - so
why not CD,Shacklers, Better to open up wiv? 

Must see and hear for me: TWAT. 
Kinda like to hear Estranged live again, that song has meant so much to me for so long.
 

[Halo69]

Im looking forward to Shacklers and also Sorry (cause that may have a rant coming with it) 

[The Glow Inc.]

Shackler's and TIL are the absolute must hear of this tour for me
I wouldn't mind Catcher and TWAT either...

[Chronada]

Must see/hear for me in order of anticipation -  Prostitute, T.W.a.T, Riad, Scraped and ITW.

I really think Riad is the hidden gem of CD, it is criminally underrated even by the most loyal fans. Axl's voice is top notch, its the most difficult bass song on CD except maybe Shackler's, the drums have great energy throughout the entire song, there is one particular guitar part (during the chorus) that is absolutely worthy and I thoroughly enjoy both Ron's solo, and Buckethead's outro.

In my humble opinion it holds up, and deserves as much respect as any other song on CD.

scraped and sorry

Amen.

Would this guitar part in the chorus be Robin's lead following Axl's melodies in the left channel?

[daviebuckethead]

scraped!

[falungong69]

the first time prostitute is played live will be a monumental occasion.  it's going to be electric, in whichever stadium is lucky enough to get that moment.  i'm sure someone will video it.  once that thing hits youtube, gnr will have its first bonafide viral moment.  it could actually do more to promote the album than best buy.

[The Prez]

I would love to hear/see the following songs live: This I Love, Sorry, Shackler's Revenge, Scraped
 

[Chronada]

  That is the part I was talking about.   

Wasn't sure who played the part, thanks for shedding some light on that for me. Cool to hear it was Robin's doing. 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

The nine songs I didn't get to hear last time.

[helenluna]

All of CD. Period.

Of course Scraped (my favorite), TWAT and then all the others. The only one I'd leave out if necessary is ITW. Not that I dislike the song (and I even think it would be interesting because of the mix of Spanish guitar, jazzy piano and electronic beats) but it's the song with the less interesting lyrics IMO so I can live without it.

[PJ]

this i love..
the melodies of the song are EXTREMELY amazing

[Marion68]

   THIS I LOVE and BETTER

No problem

At least I think its Robin - he played it live in 2002 and it does sound like him in the studio version. It's one of the highlights for me in the track too.

[willow]

I don't think we are going to hear it but I so want to hear This I Love. It would be a shame not to play that live a few times!
