You do realise Slither would be a cover right?!

Shadow of your love needs to be in the setlist. Maybe the first song of the encore so Axl can reclaim his stamina to sing it.

[johnreed3344]

don't expect any major changes, they prob take out "black hole sun" add in Shadow.

would be cool to hear Breakdown or pretty tied up though

I don't think it's that strong really - I'd be surprised if it's in the setlist.

Personally I imagine the setlist will be broadly the same, with no changes other than the few they made through the tour last time. I don't anticipate anything being played that wasn't played at the last LA show. I'm fine with that too really - it's the same tour, and most people aren't sitting on forums monitoring setlists like people here might be, so won't even notice.

I think the setlists have been doing a great job really - all bases covered sort of thing.

[D-GenerationX]

Same basic setlist as 2016 & 2017.

Maybe lose things like 'Black Hole Sun' and 'Wichita Lineman'.  But I bet if they are swapped out, it's for other covers.  I think hoping they are going to instead re-instate some long since played UYI track is a fool's errand.

Also highly doubt they will play 'Shadow Of Your Love', ever.  That song, live, would not be Axl's friend in 2018.

I don?t think he?d struggle. It?s a pretty straight forward. Rock song. If he can pull off AC/DC this will be easy.

add Jackie Chan!

Agree.  He pulled off Coma pretty consistently last year...and people thought he would never be able to sing that live again.  Shadow can't be harder than that.

Locomotive and/or Street of Dreams. I doubt that any major changes will occur.That's because the setlist is complete and covers every taste.

[allwaystired]

There's a photo of a 'leaked' setlist doing the rounds. How genuine it is- I don't know (I barely believe 5 per cent of what I read online now if it doesn't come from a reputable news source), but it's the same set as previous dates. No changes or additions.

[Slashrose]

That's...disappointing


old setlist, no news

[Nytunz]

Breakdown would be cool if they played it

[jarmo]

Is somebody expecting them to completely change the setlist?

The core of the set has been the same for the tour, with some songs added during the legs.

Too many staples that aren't going anywhere... Shadow might be an addition, maybe drop some of the "tribute" covers they did like BHS when Cornell passed, etc... Maybe add in some of the typical "option" songs more regularly like Michelle/Crazy/Used to Love Her. Would not expect anything major, major... but honestly never expected Coma either, so you never know.

I think that's been true of every tour they've ever done, right?

There are very very few bands who change setlists drastically from night to night. In the past it wasn't even noted on- now the internet has meant constant complaining about it from people who aren't even attending the shows!

I'm not sure people realise how difficult it is in terms of production for a band to alter things all the time. Sure, it's doable if the band are just up there playing instruments - but lights, videos, pyro etc all have to be ready, and crew need to know what's going on and when things happen, for safety reasons as much as anything.

I hope for some more songs from the catalouge; Pretty Tied Up, So Fine, Perfect Crime, Dead Horse, Street of Dreams, Shadow of Your Love, Move to the City (acoustic). I haven't heard Madagascar, Twat and Catcher live myself with this band so I'd like that. For the covers I'd like to hear Jumpin Jack Flash.

Of course Dust n Bones would do if Izzy ever dropped by.

They have had Mr. Brownstone as the second song almost every show theyvé done and thats  a sort of cool tradition. But it feels kinda stale to open with It's so Easy every show for two years. Don't drop that song, just change up the opener a little bit.

[Lord Stan]

That is my line of thinking and I hope it happens. Black Hole Sun is fine as a song but I just don't want to hear it in a GNR gig that I paid 100 euros to get in. But then of course if and when beer is available a toilet break is handy.

Personally I imagine the setlist will be broadly the same, with no changes other than the few they made through the tour last time. I don't anticipate anything being played that wasn't played at the last LA show. I'm fine with that too really - it's the same tour, and most people aren't sitting on forums monitoring setlists like people here might be, so won't even notice.

This has been discussed before but people on this board are overanalysing what a normal fan thinks about the setlist. I just found out that my childhood friend's (who we grew up with listening to the band) 19-year-old son has a GNR tattoo. The father has been to three gigs and the son, I think, to only one.

They have listened to the band all their lives but most certainly wouldn't complain about the setlist.

Was Garden of Eden ever played live? Wantz to hear it!

It was played a couple of times in 1993.
