UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2006 Well, Axl made it to the first Hammerstein show tonight, about 45 minutes late, but I guess that's to be expected. Setlist was.. 1. Welcome To The Jungle 2. It's So Easy 3. Mr. Brownstone 4. Better 5. Live And Let Die 6. Sweet Child of Mine 7. Patience 8. Knocking on Heaven's Door 9. Madagascar 10. Band introductions (New guitarist is Bumblefoot) 11. You Could Be Mine 12. Dizzy Reed piano solo 13. The Blues 14. Out ta Get Me 15. Bumblefoot Guitar Solo 16. November Rain 17. My Michelle (w/ Sebastian Bach) 18. Chinese Democracy 19. There Was a Time 20. IRS (Axl said: "I see you people singing the new songs. You downloaded them, fuckers!") 21. Bumblefoot Guitar Solo #2 22. Nightrain 23. Robin Fink Solo + crowd surfing 24. Paradise City Some guy named "Bumblefoot" is the new guitarist. Never heard of him, but he's another shredder like Buckethead. Best thing - Axl got rid of the oversized sports jerseys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Christ Axl, it's been like 5 years since Rock in Rio and you're still playing just 5 'new' songs from Chinese Democracy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatWhiteNope 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Christ Axl, it's been like 5 years since Rock in Rio and you're still playing just 5 'new' songs from Chinese Democracy. He said in Rolling Stone there's going to be 13 tracks on the album. So far we've heard 7 of those 13 tracks - Better, Catcher in The Rye, Chinese Democracy, IRS, Madagascar, The Blues and There Was a Time. I guess he's leaving the other 6 as surprises for the album.

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2006 I'm just glad I was there Friday for the only performance of "TWAT" so far. What's interesting to me if the rave reviews Robin Finck is getting so far, but to me, the guy screwed up his parts in "Patience" and "IRS" royally, leaving a bad taste in my mouth. But the show was definitely worth it, it lived up to my expectations, and Axl is still fucking awesome........sounded better live then any othe time since the late 80s.

FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Axl Rose showing up, and actually finishing shows? New GNR songs leaking at a somewhat decent rate? Whoa... I hope Axl really has his shit together, and GNR comes back in a big way. I've been down since day one, back when I was four years old, and Welcome To The Jungle hit MTV, and I've remained a major Axl fanboy throughout those 19 years. Also, Axl looks more and more like Raven everytime I see a new picture of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil-o-Mac 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2006 The Bumblefoot guy is getting massive hate on GNR boards. Damn shame - he's an absolutely tremendous guitarist, singer, producer & arranger. If they really utilise him he could be a massive asset to the band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The set included "Used to Love Her" and "You're Crazy", both of which hadn't been played by the new band before. Also, last night, Tommy Hilfiger apparently tried to beat up Axl.
