2 hours set for the ENTIRE tour ????

[RnT]

I?m reading reviews and listening to those mp3/videos... man, Axl?s sound great!

BUT, try to sing for 2 hours... even if you are a singer, imagine how many shows Axl will do now (with these already scheduled) and when they release the new album and start the world tour...

every "normal band" plays lots of songs for the last album and some hits... SHIT, GNR HAVE THE "RADIO HITS" AND AT LEAST 10 SONGS THAT NEED TO BE ON THE SET !! ( Axl is fucked  )

so, my question is... will u prefer they do an 1 hour and a half set knowing that every show you?ll hear the Axl?s best voice or "nevermind" the last 5/6 songs that Axl?s voice wasn?t "so great", but the band did keep playing and that?s what you wanted??

I read a few articles bashing Axl and the show, some journalists just want to make "news"... I?m just imagining some of these "journalists" saying "this is not the real GNR"... "Axl?s clothes, hair and etc etc etc... he?s weird now".... bla bla bla and "he can?t sing anymore, he can?t sing like the old days... just listening to this song (- journalist) (and pick one of the last songs of the show, where?s Axl didn?t sing so GREAT because he did 60 shows straight before)

what you think?

[Pinball Wizard]

Honestly I don't think that will be an issue for Axl Rose. I really Don't!

Yeah, I know that sing 2 hours in a row very often is something that can fuck with any singer, but listening to the show I see that is prepared for this...

But answering your question: i'd rather se a 1 1/2 hour show and see the best of him!

[Super-Ecwfan1]

                     This is why Axl has 3 guitarists and a kick ass band behind him now. He can sing 4 songs , walk off the stage and catch his breath. Relax his voice well enough and then come back after a solo by Thal or Fortus. Come back do 4 more songs , repeat...lol.

im hoping for a 2.30 hours in RIR

[Jim Bob]

the more songs the better, Axl and GNR will do what they can handle

...you must have the bootlegs that no one else has then -  please share 
...all i have heard so far is lousy distortion and the cleaned up edits of distortion

RIR is a "special" show, I think their idea is to do a long show... but I did mean the "normals" shows around the world

[Vegar]

Don't think 2 hour will be a problem. Remember Springsteen who've been playing and singing 3 and 4 hour shows the most of his career.. 

[kunzerd]

i dont understand how they could bash the look this time around, he just can out in a black shirt and jeans, he looked pretty normal to me. if anything i think he looked healthier than 02.

[Origen]

He's a singer and Guns have played long setlists since the Illusion tour, whats the problem?

[CAFC Nick]

How long was their setlist in 2002? He looks to be in as good - if not better - shape than he was in 2002. Shouldn't be too much of a problem for the Ax-man!

wasn't the RIR3 performance around 3 hours?

hey if will be 3 hours the better im going to there so the more the best :D

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Stinson can sing too! Back in the day Izzy did a couple songs ( dust & Bones, 14 Years). Id be cool to see them do something where Axl is on backing vocals on a song or 2 to mix it up a bit.

[St_Jimmyuk]

well we will see the answer on how he is on wednesday night, that will give us some insite after 4 2 hour shows in less than a week

[Luigi]

You've got to rember this AXL FUCKING ROSE and that mother fucker can sing like nobody else. A two hour show is a walk in the park for AXL. So FUCK the nay sayers. We write what we see & hear, they write lies about good things just to get attention. I'll see you guys the 17th.         

[Ines_rocks!]

yay so am i! I wanna hear all the great old songs such as Estranged, Rocket Queen and Civil War which he hasn?t yet and a couple of new ones... I really hope the RiR show will be longer than 2 hours... let?s hope.

[bigcash2002]

I would hope they play 2 hours per show...don't most bands?  I haven't been to that many concerts, but the ones I have average 2 hours.

[alexh0618]

2 hours is pretty normal for a show. But they will probly play a longer set at Rio

[erose]

2 hours is pretty normal for a show. But they will probly play a longer set at Rio

i think and hope you are right, but i also think they'll only play like 20 minutes when they come to small places like oslo lol...

[Pinball Wizard]

The problem is: Axl isn't 28 years old anymore! 

[da_pope]

2 hours ain't that long.
Metallica and Motley Crue both had 4 hour sets.

[RnT]

that?s what I was talking about 

(from the May 14 show):

how was his voice? was live and let die good?

I thought his voice was very impressive in some parts, but I really thought that he was still suffering on other songs from losing his voice just a day ago.

But on Nightrain the second to last song he had a little left in reserve and just killed it!!
But on some songs he sounded weaker and/or they were losing him in the mix.


But he seemed really pumped up and into his performance!!

Axl was dressed the exact same.

Axl said he had completely lost his voice yesterday. Everything gone!!
He said Baz pointed him to a vocal and throat expert and that it saved the day.
Axl was freaked out because he wouldn't be able to do the show if he voice never came back!!!!

[RnT]

and it?s happening again... accourding with the updates from the show Today 

[GnR-NOW]

since so far the 4 nyc shows are pretty much old songs, with 5-6 new songs, but they are called warm up shows so is it possible that more new material will get played during the tour or will be what we've seen in nyc?
