ITW 2012 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) How disappointed will you be if Axl doesn't play new songs at Rock In Rio and announce a release date for CD II? Ali, please don't post anything about Axl not owing us anything because it's not even about that. Edited June 27, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saber_ Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Axl does what he wants. I have accepted that.I just like hearing him sing, as he has an inimitable timbre to his voice. Anything he sings, I'm cool with. I don't presume to dictate to him what he should or shouldn't sing. It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iftheworld Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 As long as Axl is operating I could care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) if cd was the best he could do, the fans in chile should be thankful. Edited June 27, 2011 by SunnyDRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonsaul Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'll be disappointed if its the same show, same songs,... essentially same setlist as previous years :/ He has a huge wealth of well known, and great, material.... it would be cool to see him shake it up a bit. Not really the GnR way though, or Axl way. Even the old band, it used to annoy me slightly, that they would essentially do the same shows day and night.BUT, I'm not going so me on the opposite side of the world from that show really has no say,.. and I'm certain the majority of the audience will fucking love the show and not care about new songs, old songs, or regurgitated setlists. Which is what matters really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'll always pay to see Axl perform because he's the best at what he does in my opinion. It would just be nice to see him move on to CD II. I'm dying to hear The General, Atlas Shrugged and Soulmonster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2x4 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I guess in the back of my mind I am hopeful of hearing something new. At both the the previous real RIR shows we have heard new material but it wouldn't surprise me if that changes this time around. I am just happy that GN'R are playing a few shows again and that we will all have a new pro shot dvd out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR123GNR456 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Fairly disappointed.The reason is becuase I think this is a great way to debut new songs, infront of 200,000 fans, with fan's streaming it worldwide, and it is symbolic becuase at the last 2 Rock In Rio's GN'R debuted new songs. It will be a great way to move forward from Chinese Democracy, and onto the new era of Guns N' Roses at the biggest music festival in the world. Like I said before, just one new song, and I'm good.

ThinkAboutYou Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ideally they would play Oh my god, silkworms, rhiad then estranged and possibly 3 new unheard songsI'm hoping to hear new material but it's a wait and see game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'd be dissapointed, but I should know better than to expect anything from Axl.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
there is no dana only zool Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 not trying to sound like a "fanboy" (although to be honest, that's pretty much exactly what i am; cuz i love this band so much), but i wouldn't be disappointed, cuz it's not my show. further, i, as a US citizen- someone who has not seen GN'R live since CD's release- would still like to see 2009's/2010's setlist live if i can. good luck on the upcoming shows, boys. you fucking rule.

mrandyk Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 only a fool would expect such a thingIf somebody told you ten years ago that Axl would still be doing the Chinese Democracy Tour in 2011 you would have called them a fool.Yeah, but then everyone found out just how productive he is when he has his way.

Chewbacca Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I would be disapointed. But I could live with it if he actually announced the release date for the upcoming album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Announce a release date? I'm doubting that.But, I definitely wouldn't be surprised if Axl played a couple unheard songs, and hopefully at least mentions something about a new album.

Ali, please don't post anything about Axl not owing us anything because it's not even about that.Well, he doesn't owe us anything. It is about that. Sure, it would be nice if a new song was played. But, there is no reason to think that GN'R will. So, yeah, you can be disappointed. But, it's your own fault for setting yourself up for disappointment. I could understand the disappointment more if GN'R themselves said they would play new songs. But, that's not the case here. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, be aware enough to realize that there was NO indication whatsoever that any new song would be played and then think about why you are really disappointed.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's so wrong with expecting to hear new music after all these years? He doesn't have to play it, but I don't have to pretend to not be disappointed if he doesn't play it. I guess I'm just a bigger Axl and GNR fan than you are, Ali. Edited June 28, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's so wrong with expecting to hear new music after all these years? He don't have to play it, but I don't have to pretend to not be disappointed if he doesn't play it.I'm saying be disappointed if you want. I'm just saying that to me "wanting" to hear new music is different than having a reasonable belief or expectation that new music will be played. Maybe it's just a difference in semantics. But, I also want to hear new music because I'm a fan. But, I don't have anything to base a reasonable belief that new music will be played. That's all I'm saying. Again, maybe it's just a difference in semantics, but I see what you're describing as more of a "want" than a reasonable expectation. But, of course, you have every right to be disappointed. But, sometimes it helps to mitigate disappointment if keep in mind the facts surrounding the situation. At least it does for me. It's not about being a bigger fan. It's about distinguishing between what you want to happen and what you can reasonably expect to happen based on the available information. Again - want and expectation are not necessarily one and the same.Ali Edited June 28, 2011 by Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunns5 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'll be more dissapointed if we never see riad performed live again, it's a hard song to sing and Axl ain't getting any younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
