GUNS N' ROSES: New York City Setlist Revealed
- May 13, 2006
|
|
|
GUNS N' ROSES played their first show in more than three years Friday night/Saturday morning (May 12-13) at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. The two-hour, 15-minute set kicked off at roughly 11:00 p.m. with the opening 1-2-3 punch of "Welcome to the Jungle", "It's So Easy" and "Mr. Brownstone", and featured a guest appearance by former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach, who traded off lead vocals with Axl Rose in "My Michelle". The much-rumored appearance by ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Izzy Stradlin never materialized, although the band did debut a replacement for guitarist Buckethead in the shape of Ron Thal of the New York City-based alternative-rap-metal project BUMBLEFOOT.
GUNS N' ROSES setlist – Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City - May 12, 2006:
01. Welcome to the Jungle
02. It's So Easy
03. Mr. Brownstone
04. Better
05. Live and Let Die
06. Sweet Child O' Mine
07. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
08. Madagascar
(Band Introductions)
09. You Could Be Mine
10. Dizzy Solo
11. The Blues
12. Out Ta Get Me
13. Bumblefoot Solo
14. November Rain
15. My Michelle (with Sebastian Bach)
16. Chinese Democracy
17. T.W.A.T. (There was a Time)
18. Patience
19. I.R.S.
20. Nightrain
21. Robin Finck Solo
22. Paradise City
GUNS N' ROSES have scheduled a total of four New York City shows, with the band's next appearance slated for Sunday, May 14. These are the only U.S. appearances scheduled so far for the group, which counts singer W. Axl Rose as its sole original member. BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE is the opening act for all NYC dates.

I can confirm that Izzy will be at atleast one of the gigs, possibly more. As far as Bumblefoot goes, well he was amazing, but again, pointless shredder. A lot of people will use this chance to criticize Axl for using another "freak" such as Buckethead, and I do agree that Axl needs a normal looking, old school guitarist. But whatever...
The crowd was ecstatic throughout the night. BFMV got booed to hell(deservingly so) and they cut their set short maybe 10 mins(I think anyway.) The stage guys put up the big GNR flags. They were redish with a cream type background, with the GNR logo in a black and white color. Awesome looking. The lights dimmed and they kicked into Jungle, which of course got a massive crowd response. I'm telling you Axl rocked the house. He was so much than in 2002. He had way more energy and his voice was absolutely perfect. He sounded like the old Axl but even better. He ran around the stage and didn't seem to be out of breath at all. Next they played It's So Easy and then Mr. Brownstone before launching into Better, one of the leaks. It was amazing live. Axl hit every note dead on. His scream in the middle was perfect.
SCOM, Knockin on Heaven's Door were great as always. Next came band intros. When introducing Brain(drums), Axl said "Where was this guy when we hired Matt?" lol classic Axl there. Then they broke into You Could Be Mine. The scream at the end, well Axl hit that dead on with no problems at all.
Dizzy then sat down at the grand piano and did a little piano solo before going into The Blues. This is definately going to be a future GNR classic for sure. The emotion Axl put into his voice during this song was amazing. Also I gotta say that Robin Finck really surprised me tonight. He was dead on, unlike in 2002. He now has real long hair and a beard, which I think looks good on him. Next was Madagascar and again, they played this flawlessly.
Next Axl sat down at the piano and they went into November Rain. This was the most emotional part of the night. This song is just a work of art and is no doubt the greatest GNR song ever. Axl was dead on in his singing and playing. What pissed me off some was when Bumblefoot fucked up a bit of the end solo. Slash would never do that...
Sebastian Bach singing with Axl on My Michelle was so fuckin awesome. Great job on Bach's part, and he rocked like hell as always.
Later they played TWAT which sounded awesome live. Crowd was singing along to this one and Better earlier. Before they played I.R.S. Axl said "I see you fuckers are singing the songs, you must have downloaded em!" Funny stuff there. I.R.S. sounded a helluva lot better live than the demo leak.
Next was a Robin Finck guitar solo. He was great, a lot better than his horrid playing in 2002. Also, all 3 guitarists were playing Les Pauls. Then they broke into Paradise City and the crowd was fuckin explosive. The entire band nailed the song note for note and Axl was flawless in his vocals, even after going through 2 hours he didn't miss a note. Robin jumped into the crowd at the end and was crowd surfing a bit before getting back on stage.
Everything was flawless, except for the little fuckup in the end solo of NR(shame on you Bumblefoot, learn from Slash...), but all in all everything went down smooth as silk, with no idiots getting thrown out and no fuckin cameras(to my knowledge) in Axl's face. Axl was sporting the braids, but he was wearing a pair of jeans and a black shirt, no jersey's which I thought was fuckin awesome. He looked very old school tonight. It was indeed a terrific show and to anyone that still has a chance to go, well this is a show you DO NOT want to miss. Axl Rose and GNR are truly back and whatever any haters may say, this band played the fuck out of these songs! Sure, I'd love to see Slash and Izzy back too, but until that happens, this band rocked.

LOL Preach on and tell it like it is, brother. As much as I love the Appetite-era version of GN'R, this is merely a high-priced cover band and I won't be going out of my way to see this. Cool that Sebastian sang "My Michelle" w/ Axl, though. Maybe Izzy will show and that would be great, too, but the question is... would he be just a special guest or a permanent member once again?

GNR is starting earlier than in the past.Nothing worse than a band starting to play past midnight on a weeknight,like GNR used to do.Axl may try to win his fans back at first but eventually his supersized ego will win out.

Your comments make absolutely zero sense.Were you in Black Sabbath or Pink Floyd?Did you write the majority of the songs and own the rights to the name?I'm far from an Axl Rose fan but most cover bands don't have anyone from the band.I realize your just running your jib but you sound like a moron.By the way I definitely wouldn't pay $70 to see GNR.Odds are about 50/50 that they cancel.

Odds are about 50/50 that they dont release this by the year ends.
Bullet For My Valentine are good. But they shouldnt be opening for Guns N Roses. They should be touring with other bands.

I was at the show last night, as well. And aside from having to wait in line for so long to get in, it was one of the best shows I have ever been to. I saw them in 92 and again in 02, and Axl has never sounded better and looks like he is in great shape and was really enjoying himself.
Place was nuts all night, but really went nuts when Sebas came out. He also looks great and sounded strong.
Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal I thought fit in well, although seemed a little nervous at first. But the times that Axl came up to sing next to him looked genuine, and it seems like the two get along well. In fact, they all just looked like they really had a blast. Especially, Tommy, who seems to be the closest with Axl as far as making him laugh with inside jokes and stuff.
If there is anyone going to the next three shows I gotta tell you that the Hammerstein is such a small venue that it is awesome being that close. I would say there were about 10 or 12 people between me and my wife and stage from where we were standing. The other two times I saw Axl were at Giants Stadium and MSG, so to be in such an intimate setting was really intense.
If this show was any indication, Axl and GNR are back in a major way. The new songs sounded great and I think Axl was somewhat surprised and touched at how many people knew them. As he said with a grin, "you guys are a bunch of download muthafuckers." He's no fool, though, that's why HE leaked them.

This is the internet, a place mainly occupied by kids. That leads be to believe that 90% of the people bashing them on blabbermouth were not even old enough to attend a concert or buy an album back when the original line-up split. Isn't that amazing? By the power of the internet people with no right to speak are allowed to splatter the metal/rock community with totally ungrounded opinions.
You don't have to like the new version of GnR, but you do have to live with it because nothing that you say is going to change the fact that they are now on tour. So i suggest going to see them play live for yourself, and then get the album when it comes out, and form an opinion that is based on actual opinion, rather than pent up hate and hear say that you've picked up from other bashers. The bottom line is that nobody here is good friends with Axl Rose, nor the old line-up, nor the new line-up, and aside from a few songs nobody has the new album, and only a few people here were at last nights show. This means that almost none of us have any right to be saying anything about GnR just yet.
