2022 Tour Thread

Frank’s a fucking atrocious drummer. He’s the worst drummer in a big band I can think of. 80% of how shit they sound is Axl & Frank. 

They’re shit live, their box sets are extortion, there’s been less than 20 original tracks released by them in 31 years. It’s more a cult than a band at this stage.

They couldn’t even spice up the setlist. I would pick any kind of This I Love/The Blues/Madagascar/TWAT/If The World fat wailing over some Slither/WiSHITa/Doof cover in a heartbeat. Preferably TWAT since it’s the only song Slurp sounds half-decent on. If The World would be funny because the last time the fat man performed it, he still sounded competent.

Frank isn't as bad as people say he is, but yea he's the worst GNR drummer. He's not a "bad" drummer but he's the wrong drummer. He's more punk than classic rock, and his sound is shit (mostly due to Caram) so yea he sticks out, but alongside Grandma Axl and Slash the Noodle Enthusiast, he's not the worst player in the band.

Brother, Franks brutal. He has no swing, no skip, no groove. It’s really noticeable on most tracks. He’s an ok drummer for maybe a different style, but with GnR he sounds lazy and plodding. The Guy wouldn’t last in a punk band! He can’t play that fast! He really struggled once the tempos went up with Slash & Duff back. Adler, Sorum, Brain… Frank isn’t at the same level, he’s just butchering most of the tunes.

Yea he's not on the same level as the others, he's basically the luckiest bar-band drummer in the world. He's not technically a bad drummer, but his style doesn't fit GNR and he doesn't drive the songs like he's supposed to, he's just kinda 'there' to keep the songs going while Slash noodles around.

It sucks that Brain is still touring with the band but doesn't do guest spots, for whatever reason.

Nope these Aus and NZ shows are just to makeup for the originally slated shows moved due to covid.

The band just want to not do anything different  get paid then fuck off back to the states.

 
How will Axl be able to top the incredible performance he gave in London earlier this year? Will he let Carrie Underwood sing the whole set, instead of just the encore? Will we finally hear Mickey gasp his way through Fatlas Shrugged? Tune in next summer as the Never Ending In This Lifetime tour continues...

I went to the Sabbath Hyde Park BST gig years back, the lineup was Sabbath, Motörhead, Faith No More & Soundgarden. No way GnR will top that!

 
So the Australian tour seems to be starting to come undone like Europe.

We have drones at the Gold Coast show pissing him off, hitting someone at the Adelaide show in the face with the microphone, and the Melbourne show last night having a rant at the stage lights shining in his eyes. 

Like Europe, i doubt the band are going to be touring down under again in a hurry.

“Last night, we played a setlist, like, it was all over the place,” McKagan tells me. “‘I don't know, let's throw in this now!’ We're not playing the same thing, you know.” Alongside songs from all eras of the band, one of the treats for Gold Coast was a cover of AC/DC’s Whole Lotta Rosie, played for the first time on this tour.

“Sometimes we have to play the same set five nights in a row, but it's fine, you know, because it's a new crowd. But last night we played this wacky, killer set, songs were all over the place. And it was fun.”

The wacky, killer set:

01. It's So Easy
02. Mr. Brownstone
03. Chinese Democracy
04. Slither
05. Better
Link Wray's Rumble intro
06. Welcome To The Jungle
07. Reckless Life
08. Double Talkin' Jive
09. Live And Let Die
10. Estranged
11. Shadow Of Your Love
12. Rocket Queen
13. Whole Lotta Rosie
14. You Could Be Mine
Slash Guitar Solo (Albert King's Born Under A Bad Sign jam)
15. Sweet Child O' Mine
16. Wichita Lineman
17. I Wanna Be Your Dog
18. Absurd
19. Hard Skool
20. November Rain
21. Civil War (with Machine Gun outro)
22. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
23. Nightrain
Encore:
24. Coma
The Beatles' Blackbird intro
25. Patience
26. Don't Cry
27. Paradise City

 
Wacky and Killer: The songs in a different order. Maybe. But it’s the same fucking songs they’ve been playing for at least 18 months. That chick hormone therapy really fucks your brain huh….

It’s a new crowd every night ya dumb blonde. When was the last time GNR played 5 nights in the same city?
