Aside from the setlist(s), what are your biggest pet peeves about this tour?

[Public Enemy #1]

Mine would probably be:

Axl has been touring Chinese Democracy since right after I graduated college.

I  really don't like the mustache he's sporting these days.

No previously unheard songs (not setlist related - just in general)

Not a fan of Ashba

Was hoping they'd tour with Janes Addiction and we'd get to see Axl/Duff sharing the stage.

Was hoping he'd bring Izzy out for some more "guest" spots.

He still has Baz opening for him.

Ever since the Asian dates, Axl seems like he's just going through the motions when singing the songs.

That they haven't played here yet.

He still hasn't put out Chinese Democracy...I'm starting to think he'll never release it!

[BarryTheBastard]

Axl refusing absolutely point blank to even concider wearing his white shorts again!

He's singing in his classic voice again, I mean come on, how un-original is that?

There's no nintendo noises or freaky people with Buckets! What's up with that? :'(


Wait a second...the lack of these things are what have made these tours the best since the "Gnr rejuvenation" in 2001!

Long may it last!

Man wtf it should only be about the music, sitting here picking over the band and its singers looks is just faggish and weird, god damn you people put them under these crazy microscopes and wonder why they are not more open... enjoy the music enjoy the band, members have come and gone and will continue to do so until Axl dies but hey thats ok they are grown men with lifes to live, Axl belongs in a shell because of fuckheads like you...

I think the new songs (songs that are now 8-12 years old) sound like shit live.

Exactly- I've seen them Live this year a couple of times and it sounded Awesome!! Looking forward to catching a few more shows- My Pet Peeves are bitchy little punks that create threads like this, I actually like Bas as an opener-and I like these concerts better than the 06-07 gigs!! More Chemistry and cohesiveness.

[GnrJanus]

loving the new live shows and sets and what not... but.

there's room for one more thing...

and I've got a hint for you all.

March 21st 2009!

[Madcap2010]

You do realise it is already 2010? or are you being intentionally cryptic and all-knowing 




RIP Ronnie James Dio

I am.. it was a hint hinted at something gnr should still work on... since it's a shame they still use it and don't make something new fresh and better and biger!

march 21st....  that's already a year and 2 months since the last time....




RIP Ronnie James Dio

You should know by now GNR doesn't necessarily do things the accepted or expected way, I'm quite sure they don't scan forums for hints as to what they "should" do either- no offense





RIP- Ronnie James Dio

Au contraire, mon ami.  I'm certain they do troll the forums to see what fans think and want.
In fact, I'll bet you your weekly allowance from your Mom that they do.

Seriously, if Axl didn't care what fans thought or wanted, he wouldn't have taken over 10 years to release his album, he wouldn't have been playing CD tracks at strip clubs and private parties to get feedback before releasing the album, he wouldn't be sending his assistant/housekeeper and son onto the forums to monitor and censor what's posted, and Axl hiimself wouldn't have gone into a full-blown meltdown with one of his biggest fans on a fan forum.  Clearly, he cares a lot about what fans think and want.
