Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I didnt expect the setlist to change during europe but now it is changing to the UK tour so my (optimistic) prediction is that the UK tour will have setlist changes. Civil war, Coma and Twat would blow my mind if they hit NEC birmingham

[Mod edit : title slightly edited to make it clearer]

That would rock, but I guess ?that Guns like to keep it safe and predictable.

Axl do something for the fans. :rofl:

Seriously, are you having me on.

If he has read the reviews, he will play more AFD songs and include more solos. We've not had a Chris solo yet remember.

hopefully one day... one day  :'(

by optimistic do you mean "broken from reality"?

Hopefully TWAT, CD, IRS, The Blues and Maddy will all get an airing.

Ah Go on. Go on, go on. Go on go on go on go on go on....

Bring on Riyadh 06 version and chris solo or jam. : ok: The reality is sweet.

I highly doubt the band has enough time to learn Coma and Civil War.

They should know how to play them already. They are Guns N Roses right?

Coma was almost never played live, so don't expect it to be done now.
Civil War could be a possibility if there's a setlist change. Or Don't Cry perhaps, would be cool if Izzy played on that :)

Yeah, all we need is a few more ballads. I would run screaming for the piss line if and when Don't Cry is played in full. I could possibly stomach a brief guitar solo but even that's pushing it.::)

It just ain't going to happen.

Probably when the album is released the setlist will change. . . . . until then don't get your hopes up.

hahahaha
omfg

ZzZzZzZzZ   ::)

Is this a dead horse thread ???

You took the words right out of my mouth...? : ok:

No offense here, but I don't think anyone in the US would consider the "UK Tour" any different than the "European Tour".  It's all the same tour and it's all in Europe as far as I can see.  There won't be any changes guys.

catcher in the rye with brian may

its obvious

Hopefully not!  8)

Hearing a few more Illusions songs would be quite nice. Throw in Back off Bitch, Dead Horse, or Civil War every now and then in place of maybe Out Ta Get Me or just make the show a little longer. Also I'd like to see Used To Love Her and Rocket Queen played more often. And it would kick ass if, totally impromptu and out of nowhere, Axl  came out and sang the words to Don't Cry during Ron's solo. Even though Welcome to the Jungle gets everyone in the crowd pumped, i think opening w/ something like Out Ta Get Me or You Could Be Mine could have similar effects.

NO

Well all will be revealed in Sheffield tonight!

I dunno how anyone can know if any setlist changes are going to happen until the gig but imo it's gonna be the same.

Would be nice if instaed of a guitar solo of Don't Cry they did the full song, vocals n' all!

they aint guna play any YUI songs, i hope they do, but at the same time they are a new band and should play NEW stuff

NOW THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS FUCKING FUNNY. NICE JOB.

Going back to the first show in Vegas at the House of Blues. Has the "new" GNR ever opened a show not playing Jungle, It's so easy and Brownstone as the 3 first songs?
I gotta admit, as a diehard GNR fan since '87 the one big thing for me was how the set list was mixed up. Obviously this "new" GNR hasn't done that to that level, so far.  Especially the first 3 songs.
 
Just wondering

....

can you imagine a better opening?

opening with the jungle guitar rifts is awesome, theres not a more crowd pumper upper then that, those first three songs are pure kick ass rock songs, i hope in the next US tour, they play about 10 classics and 10 new songs

Until the album drops, probably not.   

:sleeping:

ungh uh mmmm, oh sorry


has there been any couple of days when a setlist bitch thread doesn't pop up? :hihi: :peace:

 :hihi: neemo

i dont think he was bitching.. it seems he was just asking about it. because he wasnt sure.


has there been a day wehre u havent complained about a setlist complaing thread? i didnt think so.

^^^ IM JUST KIDDING ^^^^  :hihi:

The answer to the question, as far  as  I know, is No.

Ummmmm  yes it was just an inquiry.  just for the record I wanted to know

the accoustic show people :peace:

Sorry but I don't understand why there's an anti-criticism mind on this board, everyone can share his ideas ! People are not forced to bless everything GN'R do.

It's normal people are not happy when GN'R play only one new song at a show, it's better than saying: "do you prefer GN'R do nothing" or saying "you'are bitching but kids are dying in the world fuckhead".

-----------

Back to the topic, I think it was cool when the band opened with Perfect Crime or Nightrain, but WTTJ imo is the best opener too  : ok: But ISE following WTTJ is not my cup of tea, it would re-warm the crowd if it was played at the middle of the set   :)

^your right, but i wouldnt really count that. it wasnt like an actual tour date/concert.

I wouldn't mind some ISO as an opener.....sometime later chinese democracy.

liar :rofl:

no the Plumm show started UTLH, MrB, WTTJ :P

and every show in '02 and everyone but about 6 or 7 have actually started with wttj, ISE, MrB & LALD

@ Pingouirose it's fucking boring to see people constantly complain about the song selection and shit....get over it already it ain't gonna change yet

I like Nightrain as an opener as well

2 months into the tour and the same setlist so I guess we are not going to get any Illusion era songs...........dont get me wrong, my main thing is if Axl got his voice back which he did, but i would prefer some Illusion era songs......Also would you people dig it if Axl brought back One In A Million or would you complain about it......

One in a million is not a very good song. Its hyped because of the lyrics IMO

And they added Used to Love Her and You Gotta Move and even did Think about you again...the set list does change.? :beer:

I love One In A Million, but I can't see Axl ever playing it live again. He once stated he wanted the song removed from Lies. Who knows with Axl though, he can change his mind.

yeah right... "One in a million" with Franck on drums... you want a fight onstage don't you? :hihi:

Did it ever come to that? Removing 'million' and the hidden track from Spaghetti?

I think OIM is a great song. Unfortunately because of the lyrics, it did'nt get it's proper due. I could see them playing it, but changing a few of lyrics. On second thought I doubt he'd do that. I don't think they'll play it again, but I would sure like them to.

Oh please. Like there arent worse lyrics out there. It's a song. Just a song. And a damn good one at that.

Remember the song is from 89.....but I do think it was rather wierd of that song getting so much PR and a song about killing your girfriend the media didnt give a shit about...maybe they got the joke?

"One In A Million" is a great record thats better left unplayed.

I love One In A Million but it would be very unapropriate to play it in 2006....it would stir controversy but in a real bad way.

Axl should focus on the new songs. I would be disappointed if One In A Million was played.
He should also forget about the UYI era. This is the past and there's a new band now.

this thread is one in a million ::) :hihi:

IMO that song will never be played live ever again :peace:

The band didn't have a lot of time to learn more than the current set of songs prior to the NY shows, I doubt they've had time to really experiement or learn more of the back catalog. With the lack of experience playing together as a band, along with the ongoing emphasis to showcase "the hits" along with new material, I don't think they're going to all of a sudden play something like "Locomotive" or "Pretty Tied up" although it would be pretty sweet if they did.

I was actually going to start a similar thread, but figured it might get moved. ?I want to hear One in a Million live. ?It is an awesome song. ?Axl should not worry what other's think about. ?I think it's great. ?If others don't like it, tough!!!!

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

OH FUCK OH MAN :rofl: :rofl:

no seriously i agree....they've only been together since like 2000...6 years is barely any time at all ::)

fyi gilby learned everything in 2 or 3 months when he came in to replace Izzy ;)

geez :rofl: :rofl: :hihi:

Good point. But you're kilin me wit all thsoe smiles.

That was a good point Neemo!  One in a Million is an easy song to play anyway.  Hell, even I can play that one!

I was just thinking that when I read the first post in this thread.. :rofl:

Frank is a Tank...and I dont think Axl wants to start any shit with a dude that jacked.. :hihi:

imo, it's just not a strong enough song to rationalize adding it to the set, especially with so many other great ones they could add instead.

i actually thought of one in a million the other day while listening to "some girls" by the rolling stones

i wonder why nobody ever made a big deal about the lyrics in that song

It kind of depends on just have much time this band have spent togheter....we dont know. It could be slim to nothing

well they had enough time to apparently write 70+ songs :P and tour twice

Again, again...

When was One in a Million ever played live?

cbgb's... dont remeber when tohough.. its on youtube.com

Really? wow, can someone post a link?

10.30.87 - CBGB's, New York, NY

&

01.31.88 - The Limelight, New York, NY

audio or video?

Preferrably video  :-[

Axl said he would remove the songs from Lies and Spaghetti in future pressings in the late 90's.

He never did though. ;)

I remember starting a thread on this issue years ago and we couldn't get to the bottom of it.

ok well I don't have time now...I've upped the audio though and tommorrow I'll do the vid 4 ya (I only have the CBGB vid though and it's not that great : ok:

OIAM - CBGB's '87 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1KD085V0)
OIAM - Limelight '88 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AQAVLMST)

Thanks loads bro  : ok:

I can see the headlines now:

Axl Rose incites riot with racially charged "One In A Million" tune.  Fans outraged.  Tour cancelled.

(http://www.pisserband.com/images/pics/badmotherfucker.jpg)

I hope Axl can still run very fast...just in case...? :hihi:

Nah one in a million isn't very good, only in the top 5 of ALL G N R songs LOL  What a stupid comment

Yes, Right Next Door to Hell or Nightrain

The only thing I don't like with OIAM, is why stop with Faggots, Niggas, and Iraqi's? Why not just offend everyone. Shit "The Jungle" has so many diverse people here. Should have been another verse including Kikes, Wetbacks, Japs, Dinks, Wiggers, Cracker Honkies, and stupid fucking rednecks. Am I right?

He obviously just talked about the people that he had encounters with. 


And for the person who said that One In A Million wouldn't be a good song for 2006 because it would start an outrage.  You mean to tell me that it didn't start an outrage in 87'?  ??? 

The song is a really good song because Axl sang about what was on his mind and didn't give a rats ass about what he should or shouldn't say.  I admire that, and I'm sure a lot of other people do as well.

OIM is a great song and the best song on LIES. Would i'v used the word nigger? NO, but that does not take away from the song to me. Its a very really song.

no save for Chinese Democracy.

Dude you encounter everyone here all the time. Its maybe the most diverse place in the world. There is no way Axl just encountered Black people, Iraqi's and gay people. Love the song by the way for its sheer vocal power. It is actually one of the first songs to blow me the fuck away vocally from GNR.

I don't think GNR will ever play this song live again, in fact I don't think it was ever played live after Lies was recorded.? I upped the whole CBGB 1987 show in DivX somewhere in the Appetite for Collection section if you do a search and want to see it live.? I also think some people may have forgotten who was in the band when the song was recorded, umm Slash....who is half black.

There was some outrage over the song in the press when it was released if anyone here is old enough to remember, like me.? But it was really kind of silly because the song was and is still about a perspective and personal experience of Axl at a particular point in time and if the band were really a bunch of KKK style haters they wouldn't have been running around with a mulatto guitarist.

I think it won't be played because it is a dated song but I am in agreement that some setlist changes should be happening, some different songs from UYI should be added back and they shouldnt play almost EVERYTHING from AFD and obviously more new songs would be nice to hear.

 I truly think if it didn't have the N-Word (and to lesser extent, Iraqies and gays bashing), it'd be considered one of their best songs. It's probably top 10 for me (without making a list, I'm kinda assuming it is - if not it's close)

I agree. The way it's sung works well with the Acoustic chords.  He gets on Iranians not Iraqis for the record.

Once the album hits, and people embrace it as we know they will, I think "Better" will make a killer opener.  Dark stage, opening riff starts, Axl's falsetto vocals, then the lights blow up just as the guitar kicks in with "The hardest part / this troubled heart..."

A great entrance, overall.  In the meantime, though, Jungle works just fine for me.

Like every huge fan in here, I would love to see more new songs integrated into the set list.  However, this current set list changes as much as most tours.  They change 2-4 songs up a night and it has evolved a bit since the beginning of the tour.

I would imagine that the set list will change a bit more in the fall and I would have to assume that if the CD is released, that will start the mixing in of more and more new tunes as the album takes off.

With that said, I really don't think Axl will play One in a Million live ever again. 

Sure, we can all name some damn good openers....ie: NT, ISE, as much as I like RNDTH, most of the audience isn't as big of fan of it as I am, .....but when it comes down to it, WTTJ is really the best opening IMO

The opening notes build up the crowd, and when Axl screams....mayhem begins  :peace:

those 3 as starters live kicks major ass
on cd i usually skip those

its turned into almost the 100% rehash tour

why no new songs?

We would make excuses for Axl to do anything on this board. Seriously, whether he plays a mad show, comes on 2 hours late or walks off stage well have something good to say about it. Hell, someone has to in this world.

Hahahah yea...mini Iran or spread some fucking disease... wooops.

Seems to me that the first 3 songs are the only ones played back to back then the whole set breaks down a bit with all the solos and stuff, enjoy it
