AXL. Please Perform ALL the Songs on CHINESE DEMOCRACY on Tour

[D]

Wonder if they will take SOD and Madagasar out of the set and replace them with two other CD songs?

[LIGuns]

They played TWAT @ the 1st H-Stein show..It didn't go over well..They dropped it from the set list for the reaminder of shows...But now, w/ the majority of the crowd familular w/ it, I thnk it's time to bring TWAT back..

[Ignatius]

Guns will probably play between 17-18 songs per show. I don't think setlist will be too different from the 2006 - 2007 tours. Songs like My Michelle, Nightrain or LALD could be replaced by a few CD songs. From Chinese Democracy, GNR will probably play CD (song), Better, SOD, TWAT, IRS and This I love. These songs will amost be played on each and every show. Then I could see Rhiad, Prostitute and Madagascar played ocasionally.

Have you gone insane? There Was A Time probably got the biggest pop of the night.

^ And it was also performed in Madrid, with Ron nailing the last solo.

Ditto to Buddha and again i'm always fine with whatever set the band feel the best for themselves and the crowd.

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

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". 

there're so many setlist threads spouting up all at once now, to which our replies are more or less the same.

Whether or not the entire cd is played live, i can already see the same people that wasn't happy with 2006/7 setlists whining about it.  hope i'm wrong

We must definately be on the same page Buddha_Master,  we will party hard at "Terribles" and rock the @#$% out at the "Hardrock", we'll definately show the rest how it's done lol... Look forward to seeing you and your wife in the states, hopefully sooner than later .  Bring on Las Vegas .

This was one of my favorite concert experiences, maybe my favorite. It was so fun partying with all of you, playing GN'R drinking and smoking the finest greens. L.A. is my ideal place for GN'R to play (and closer) but goddamn L.A. fans here let me down. No hooking up with friends from here, no real partying or connecting. That really made the show and experience great. Just a blast. So fun in that Hotel room. I may have to go back to Vegas just to party with the fans again. My fucking L.A. brothers and sisters what the FUCK?!

Anyway, I understand the need to throw the classic GN'R songs into the fray. I do. But sometimes I get the feeling Axl wishes he didn't have to play some of them. I may be totally off base with that. It just seemed a little more real and engaged during the couple CD songs played. I want Axl to do what the fuck ever he wants to do. If he doesn't want to play the old songs I would rather he didn't play them. They aren't as important anymore. It has got to be about the music first. And the music from Chinese Democracy needs their time to shine. All of them.

Better did too right after Mr. Brownstone

GNR should be able to sing however many old songs or whichever songs they want to sing.
But Chinese Democracy should be front and center of what they are promoting.

That means starting and ending the shows on the new songs and 60% of the songs should consist of the new material.
They need to live up to their responsibility of promoting the new material. The classic material has already done well for itself. Its time to hang some of that up going forward.

sorry, better, dreams, prostitute, shacklers + old songs.

optional: Maddy, Chinese, Twat, irs.

i think axl was only playing so many of the old songs on the last few tours because he wanted to save the big guns for the official chinese democracy tour after the album's release.  there's no way he'd risk those songs being put up on  youtube because of camera phones.  so even though i'm sure the whole band would have rather played their own songs, they kinda had to do it.  but now that the album's out, i'm one hundred percent certain we'll hear the whole album.  or at least most of it. 

if there's one thing we know about axl rose, it's that he doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks he should do.  that's why he's a god and not a cheap sellout who will prostitute his talent for fortune and fame.  like a wise man said, guns n' roses isn't burger king.  you don't get it your way.  if axl wants to play his new songs, he's gonna play 'em.  fuck a bunch of whiny mulletheads.  that's what classic rock radio's for.

if there's one thing we know about axl rose, it's that he doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks he should do. if axl wants to play his new songs, he's gonna play 'em. 

hell yeah, and if he wanna sing 20+ year old songs because he and the crowd loves it and gets a rush out of it, he'll do that too

I agree with you wholeheartedly, Jon.  Once again, you are the voice of reason in a sea of chaos and calamity.

[tippasaurus]

I guess the question for me is: are there any CD tracks that don't translate very well live that Axl might end up rarely, if ever playing live (Coma, Locomotive, Don't Damn Me all come to mind)?  I can't help but be curious how "If the World," "Sorry," and "Prostitute" will sound live.

if that's what axl wants to do, i'm sure he'll do it.  but if all he was interested in was hearing superior musicians perform those old songs, he'd have just released the re-recorded afd.  instead, he knew those musicians were capable of something even more ambitious.  i don't think he'd have spent so much time, blood, sweat and tears to realize that dream if he didn't want to share it and rock it out live.  but that's just my opinion.

I'm thinking If the World would be a little hard to pull off live.

OK

Problem with playing live is.. u can only do so many ballads cause u need to keep the energy up so I'd be shocked if Axl put a ton of ballads in

which is why I'd drop KOHD and put in TIL   drop Patience and put in Prostitute.

Let's see if we can't change the LA experience this time when they play, there have to be more than two people on this board from SO CAL , I don't see why a pre-show meet up cant be arranged. I'll personally bring some fine greens.
