[UPDATES] April 20, 2016 ? Foro Sol, Mexico City

[D-GenerationX]

Does anybody else mentally imagine Axl sayin.."Ladies and Gentleman on the keyboard Mr Dizzy
Reed" every time before the piano part? 😁

Every time.  Every single time.

I even say it when I'm just listening to the studio version.  I got that used to it.

I honestly think Richard should do all the CD material solos instead of slash. He is so lost playing stuff that he never wrote.

[Sosso]

Slash's guitar work on TWAT is awesome. And his This I Love solo has improved a lot in terms of quality.

Slash was really good on twat.  Really good. 

I am just getting used to having one lead guitar plate again though

IMO they should play as many CD songs each night as they like. For better or worse it's part of their history. There are people who love those songs too just like there are those who love the classic stuff. So why should they deprive people of songs they love simply because they weren't written by Slash/Duff/Axl. They weren't written by Ron or Dj either but they still played them. Remember what Axl said at RIR 3 about the old stuff? He said he never did or had any intention of keeping songs from the fans that they enjoy. So why would he do it with CD just cause Slash and Duff are back? That's ridiculous.

Even with Axl sounding better, I still think 'Perfect Crime' is a tough ask.

It could be tough but not imposible. They have it on a list of songs. I guess they think it can be done at some point

They had it on the setlist in 2006/2007. Band (-Axl of course) even played on the soundcheck couple of times.
Hope that we'll finally gonna hear it performed live in concert!

Yes. I know the feeling.

I am a bit surprised you're all so pleased with how Slash handled TWAT, when many of you were down on his TIL take

Honestly I thought TWAT was a mess here. Richard should play Bucket's spot. Slash couldn't even get the first solo right and it was almost tailor-made for him...

[kaasupoltin]

By the way, I think Melissas backing vocals on TWAT are nice!

This.

Richard should take all the ChiDem solos. Slash just... cant. If you mute the band while he's playing the solos, you can never guess what he's playing. He looks like he's playing random stuff, improvising, and the final result is an absolutely amorphous ball of sound. What he did the last night at Mexico was horrorous.

Richard is a much more skillful guitarist, and he would fit better than Slash in the more complex stuff like ChiDem.

By the way, im in love with Duff's backing vocals in TWAT. Duff looks very happy and compromised with the band and the newer stuff

Personally I think Slash did a good job on the Bucket TWAT solo. Maybe the one CD solo he does which closest to the original also.

[zombux]

they might be just trying how it goes. remember 2002 and 2006 tours - different guitarists played different solos through time, until they found the perfect combo the only problem now is, they only have 2 guitars to choose from + general public wants Slash to play everything and don't give a fuck about "that other guy", which is a shame (just check any bootleg recording - screens always show Slash playing, even if Richard is playing the solo, mostly the same about bootleg videos)

its just neat for me to hear a new take on it. it's the closest thing to new music we've got in a long time. i also think he'll improve over time as he did with til.

as for the cd songs being too numerous, i don't think anyone (or very few people) will not buy a ticket because of it. i see it as axls way to acknowledge the cd fans instead of leaving them high and dry. it wouldn't be nice to leave behind/disregard the people that followed him and loved his work during the time that he was less popular just because he's now, for lack of a better term, a cool kid again. sure, you can look at it from a business pov (although it probably doesn't actually affect the business stuff too much), but from the whole integrity standpoint (which he seems to be big on), cd songs in the set are understandable. i would definitely have been less interested in the whole reunion thing if they dropped all the cd stuff. sure, they don't "owe" me anything, especially since I'm just watching from home, but I appreciate the gesture and like the signal it sends out to the fanbase: cd happened, it aint going anywhere, I'm still proud of it, it means a lot to me, new music may not just be afd part 2, etc...

Just out of interest. Was there a curfew at midnight?

You are quite the comedian ...

seconded lol

There's always going to be this divide between the old lineup and the post 1997 lineup. I hate it, but it is almost unavoidable.
