Guns N' Roses - U.S. Tour 2011 (32 Dates)

[Bodhi]

The more "Chinese Democracy" songs the better if you ask me.  I would love to hear them play the whole record.  If hypothetically this were a  Burger King I would have them drop  "LALD, KOHD, Rosie,  Brownstone, in favor of Shacklers, Rhiad, Catcher, TWAT...   But either way, seeing GNR is amazing.   I'm going to a bunch of shows on the east coast and whatever they play is fine with me.   They could do a night full of Yanni covers and I would still think it is the most amazing show in the world.

I think that once they go to the U.S they will start playing some other CD songs, because the last tour they got was in 2006 and now there are songs we didn't even know that existed at that moment (like shackler's)

[russtcb]

I'm all for as much Chinese Democracy as possible! (and Estranged of course!)

[HBK]

I Want In US Tour:

TWAT / PROSTITUTE / SHACKLER'S REVENGE

 

[jarmo]

Well, the advertisment for the US tour is: Over 2 hours of classic hits.


I don't think Riff Raff and Whole Lotta Rosie are Guns N' Roses hits.  And I don'T think the people attending wants to hear that anyhow!

And the shows are over 2.5 hours. So you get the classic GN'R hits and some fun covers thrown in for fun.

I would MUCH rather stick with GnR hits!

Also realize that most headliners play for 90 minutes. Gn'R is playing for a whole hour longer than most acts. Personally, I love to hear Axl sing Whole Lotta Rosie. They can't please everybody...but they're doing a hell of a great job trying to with the length of their shows.

[Ak1nney]

How about we cut out the solos and play something like this... 

Chinese Democracy
Welcome to the Jungle
It's So Easy
Shackler?s Revenge
Live and Let Die
Don?t Cry
Scraped
Mr. Brownstone
Street Of Dreams
Locomotive
Estranged
Oh My God
You Could Be Mine
November Rain
Civil War
Rocket Queen
This I Love
Sweet Child O? Mine
Madagascar
Nightrain


Encore:
Better
Patience
There Was a Time
Paradise City

I think the flow of the setlist above would be pretty awesome.

Alternates throughout the tour: Knockin, Yesterdays, Catcher, Sorry, Prostitute, etc...

[wight gunner]

Having seen them in various line-up's, I'd say the best shows were the one's where the band were having a good time, it showed and the gig was better for it. No better demonstrating of this was Donington 06, the first half was a challenge to say the least, slippy stage, piss bottles hitting Tommy and sound issues, Axl even said this is the "Isle of Wrong" (a nod to the Isle of Wight festival on the same weekend) but later in the show when the difficulties were ironed out they were storming, Axl said "he's in a different place to that of an hour ago..."

STFU about the set list and let the band decide, in that way, you'll enjoy the ride....

Completely agree!  I'm not a big fan of the solos and I like your setlist.

[Boromir]

You know that the solos gives Axl time to save his voice. thats how you get 2:45 time shows.

Althought the solos are great 

[faldor]

Yeah, I get the thought that you'd rather hear other GNR songs rather than solos, but the solos do indeed give Axl a bit of a breather. It also showcases the 3 guitarists and gives them their time to shine at each show, which they definitely deserve.

If the advertisment is as you claim, it doesn't say who's classic hits

yeah I kind of like it when they do solos.  Guitar/drum solos are definitely a lost art, I cant remember the last time I saw a band besides GNR or the Foo Fighters do them.  Most bands these days play a streamlined 1 hour to 1:15 minutes with all the songs back to back.

I'm not saying either of us are right, but I really like that fast paced hour and a half shows. They are constant high energy and aren't boring ever. I get really bored with solos, I'll give GNR credit tho, they actually do mini jams and not 10 minute guitar solos.

[Layflats]

Solos def. help his voice in the long haul, plus these guitarists actually do great solo sections, plus great time to grab a beer.

I wish this band would revive Jumpin' Jack Flash, love Axl's take on that song.
