Are GN'R testing each CD track?

Seems as though GN'R are getting each CD track into the set. Are they testing them at the early shows to see what works best in the long term? Or will they be rotating them in/out for the remainder of the CD Tour? Hopefully they will be rotating them. This keeps it fresh for the audience and those following from afar.... Sought of like they did on the UYI tour They had the staple classicas always in the set, but some nights you'd hear Perfect Crime, Dead Horse or You Aint The First etc...

If that is the case, I hope 'This I love' garnered enough positive reactions to be played at the eventual American tour. Definitely my favorite track of the album.

Seriously If Better, If The World, Madagascar, Street of Dreams, Scraped, Sorry, TIL, IRS, and CD aren't performed at my show, whenever the fuck Axl comes back home to L.A., I will be VERY Disappointed. VERY. Preferabley I would want EVERY song from CD performed, but these ones fucking please Axl. Thank you.

Yeah, and newer version of Silkworms wouldn't be bad either
I guess they are testing which songs could be best for permanent setlist 2010. But if they are able to change setlist for each gig, i would be very happy.

Most bands fiddle with the setlists at the outset of tours, so it wouldn't surprise me...it could also be-'which ones can we pull off the most without technical glitches'? while i would love to see the osaka set when they hit they US, i wouldnt mind Estranged or Perfect Crime popping up down the line either.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember an interview from the Illusion tour where Axl said something about there not being a set list. They just got on, played until they felt they were done, played what they felt like playing, and left. Sometimes the concerts were close to three hours, other times closer to two.
Maybe I'm up in the night, but I swear I remember that.
Anyway, maybe that's how this tour is going to be? Just play off the energy of the crowd.

Just depends, they may see the ones that get the biggest response and make them permanent and then rotate the others.
i think they all sound great live though, so i'd love to see most of the album played on a nightly basis.

God I love that song! Agreed! It may not push Patience out of the lineup...but it would not disappoint me if it did!
It's soooo fucking beautiful.
btw, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you also there at Hammerstein May 12th? How cool was that to hear TWAT for the first time!? ...one of the greatest nights of my life.

Yes! Imagine how I felt that show being the first concert of my life!
From some of the vids I've seen so far of This I Love being played in Asia, they have what looks like stars falling on the screens as the song plays. I was blown away by that because that's exactly how I pictured that song when I first heard it at the listening party in Webster Hall.
Edit: PS. Thank you to whoever went to Mustang Harry's on May 12th. The show aside, that made my experience something I'll never forget. The pre-show party was one of the best times I've ever had. Never did I feel like I fit in anywhere as mush as I did there.. amongst strangers nonetheless.

I was thinking the same thing, either way we have now heard every song off 'Chinese Democracy' performed live which is cool, how many bands can you think of where you've heard a live version of every song on an album? There's usually one or two songs that are just NEVER played live and you're left wondering how they WOULD sound.
I assume the songs that get the best crowd response will stay on the setlist, I think CD the song will be a permanant opener for some time to come though. I'm really hoping TWAT, TIL and Sorry (At least!) stay on

Ditto man! I swear to God that day was like a holy pilgrimage! I never thought I'd be a happy man the same day I bought a burger and fries for almost $15!
(though it was a damn good burger and fries I must say!)
I will never forget Axl wailing like only Axl can at the end of TWAT's 1st live performance.
Personally, on topic, I'm glad the band is playing such a wide variety. I'd imagine this way they could just come into town and play what songs are connecting with them most on that particular night.

I though TWAT was flat that 1st night they played, due to the majority of the crowd not knowing it...Many had the bootleg already, there were evan a few people w/ homemade t-shirts w/ "the devil hates a loser" printed on the back. Looking forward to it being layed more often.

I think that we'll hear most of CD, 10-12 songs each night, just like they did when promoting Appetite. Sure that was their only album then, but CD is the only Album most of the guys in Guns have put together and toured with.

Could be. At this point, I'm taking a "Happy with what I get stance"
I don't care why they're playing the songs, I'm just happy they are!

Didn't he call us all "You downloading mother fuckers" after playing TWAT because everyone knew the lyrics? or am I thinking of Better?

I think the same thing was the case in Asia.
There was a "setlist", but it wasn't exactly followed.
Axl would often ask the guys "what do you wanna play?" and then they'd pick something.
Also, they played a bunch songs that weren't on the setlist...
It's very much about what you feel like playing. Sometimes playing a three hour plus show feels natural and sometimes it might not.

The album is out, so now is the time to show the album and give the songs more exposure. As they have done in the Asian shows, keep more of the new songs in the set and cut out the old songs. If things keep going with "Chinese Democracy II" or another new album, then they'd keep the focus on new songs, the songs that the guys on stage co-wrote and contributed to.

They still haven't played Riad on this tour if I'm not mistaken.
I know they played it live when Bucket was in the band, though.
