New 2018 set list

[Slashrose]

Do you pay to eat the same food all night?

[Slashrose]

They release a single and will not play it on tour? do not understand

[sky dog]

Jarmo already told you they will sprinkle in different songs based on how they feel....why is this so difficult to understand?

[sky dog]

Paul westerberg the main songwriter from the Relacements told me one time “everybody has a song they wanna hear

Do you pay to eat the same food all night?

Do you go see every show?

Or do you just complain that the meal that is offered to others is similar day to day?

It's the equivalent of looking in a resturant window, banging on it, and shouting at the people inside "hey, I had the spaghetti last night, you shouldn't be enjoying it, you should be eating something different".

[FreddieJames]

You guys realize they already play SO MANY songs in one set -while they only have a handful of material - that it will NEVER look like they change it up a lot? If they would play 2 hour sets THEN there probably would be a lot more changes to the setlist. I think most songs have been played over the last 10 years, and I expect them to add some here and there, but there's not that much to choose from if you have five albums and play 3+hrs sets. They will never play One In A Million or songs from Spaghetti. From Chinese they already played a lot.

That being said: I would love to hear the current line up's take on Street of Dreams (I honestly miss the 'okay, never mind' part still  ) and Breakdown would be amazing too.

Exactly this! I mean, back in the day you would have NO CLUE what they played outside of the show YOU went to. I hate all the complaining about them playing the same each night. Just be grateful you can watch it online. Back in the day all I had was the Tokyo dvd's and no fucking clue what they played anywhere else in the world.

I had them on vhs, and paris taped off the tv.Wore them all out.  I'd have killed to hear those sets played live- I had no damn idea what they were playing night after night. Nor did it matter one bit! If people are so damn rich they can go to every show- so what? Good luck to them, but I don't give a damn or hold them in any regard as a 'bigger fan'. The opposite maybe. I'd respect a kid struggling to go to one show who enjoys the hell out of it a lot more than some guy making a forune in his corporate job that wants to play rock and roll for a few nights, before gping back to being everything a 16 year old him tried to rebel against.

The tour will be great, I'll have a blast, and the only one to tell me I shouldn't be enjoying it will be myself.

Yes! The Paris tapes! I forgot about them. I had them before the Toky dvd's....those were good times.

Not sure now if we knew. There was a monthly music magazine that I never subscribed to but often bought when I saw a new edition.

Surely the band was mentioned sometimes but probably not setlists. I think you might be right. No, not setlists, we had no idea.

Ignorance was bliss.  Now, there's too much access to information.

It's unreasonable to expect major changes to the setlist, but a few songs here or there would be nice.  BHS, Wichita Lineman, and I feel Good would be the ones for me to go.  You would think they'd play SOYL, you know, the new song they just released.  That makes sense, but trying to make sense of things the band does is a waste of time. 

[Lord Stan]

But how unreasonable to do something new this time around. Don't they talk to each other (ahh, not in this lifetime) or do some training. Why not surprise the audience and let the social media go crazy. There was a time and they have had time to prepare.

Something like 170 hours to the start. I'm there and if something is so easy then it is

[izzyjim]

I'm all for a change in the setlist, but c'mon, they've been playing a THREE HOURS GIGS, they've played Coma, motherfucking Coma!
Isn't that enough for the "social media" to go crazy?

Social media would 'go crazy' if a gig went badly wrong. It's sad people even care about social media really.

At the last show of 2017, we got Coma. Plus Prostitute. Plus There Was A Time. Plus Catcher In The Rye.....

They could shake it up on this tour especially as they are doing a few festival which allows them to be more spontaneous, if they are playing under a curfew or alloted time they may have to change things to allow for time restrictions ,I get they don't have a massive back catalogue to choose from but they should try playing less covers I think they were doing 8 or 9 on the last tour and throw out one or two new songs which Axl has locked up  in that massive vault he has in the basement. One thing for certain is that we should get a lot of pro footage from the Download festival gigs as most of them are shown on TV or even a DVD release from the  Donnington one as that will be one of their most high profile gigs of the year.

[PermissionToLand]

The thing is, they changed the setlist nearly every damn night on the UYI tour and that was before we had Youtube videos of every show.

True, but keep in mind they were touring in support of an album, actually two - so you'd expect that.
