MEGABOWL Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Slither is absolutely great. Will be gutted if that gets chopped but also get why. I reckon keeping the cover versions in makes a lot of sense though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 They did their full set at Coachella. Few killer covers though maybe we'll get more of this. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/guns-n-roses/2016/empire-polo-club-indio-ca-53f1833d.html Also half decent chance of Angus showing up to test the waters for 24 a la Edge with Muse.

Saw Velvet Revolver before. Finished with that. Fairly sure Slash and Weiland were a bit out of it at the gig. Real 80s throwback behaviour. Good gig though.

Padjeq Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Doing a Velvet Revolver song is probably non negotiable for Slash and Duff, so it probably will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets imagine a new band, and their first three albums were The Car, Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino and AM - is that band anywhere near headlining? Yes they have been producing newer stuff, as have GnR (well, maybe not so much) & Elton, but they're all relying on past glories. My guess is that at least half the hype that The Car managed to muster was due to people in the know knowing they'd already been booked to headline.

I'm one of probably not a huge percentage of the fanbase that actually loved The Car sound. I respect how they've tried to change their sound consistently over the years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, but opening with Sculptures is criminal. Drop that, add A Certain Romance and we’re golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Oh fuck .... I'd decided it was a pass from me for Axl and the boys (no Izzy, no GnR) and now there's this sniff of Angus wafting about. Gah. See you in the pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m honest I think their version stinks the place out. Completely wrong voice for it and trying to give it more rock edge just doesn’t suit the song IMO.

Setlist is great tbh, but it’s their current tendency to make even their most upbeat songs in to a bit of a dirge that’s the real problem. Currently they’re probably my Friday headliner outside of the Park pulling out something great, but god do I hope they deliver and not making me wish I’d gone to see one of the safe but reliable bets of Hot Chip or Kelis.
