Oh hey, we get to hear the second half of the song now:
#422 Guns N' Roses » Axl named in "Rock #MeToo" documentary » 266 weeks ago

Guns N’ Roses’ manager Vicky Hamilton let singer Axl Rose hide from the police in her house after a young woman pressed charges against him because: “My job was to look after the band.” (The case was dropped due to lack of evidence.) Going after youngsters was so prevalent that for the men, as Hamilton breezily puts it, “There was no shame in their game.” Sheila Kennedy’s subsequent description of her own time with Rose explains where it went instead. “I carried all the dirtiness of him … Why doesn’t he feel that? I can say this now – I didn’t deserve any of that. And shame on him.”

Madagascar has a ton of symbolism in the lyrics. It’s a classic Axl song which is easy for him to sing. It’s a no brainer that it is in the setlist. The songs I could do without are Better and Slither.
Better's kinda had its day now that the novelty of seeing Slash and Duff perform it has worn off. I'd swap it out for I.R.S. if it were me in charge of the setlist.
I'd keep Slither if Axl would LEARN HOW TO SING THE FIRST FUCKING VERSE and stop doing the high vocal line in the chorus. Failing that, swap it out for another VR song, it'd be nice to have a bit of variety on that score. Fall To Pieces would be nice, but they have more than enough ballads in the set. Set Me Free, maybe?

I find it odd that they are keeping Madagascar around for the encore…I’m wondering if Slash and Duff may have re-recorded it.
Yeah, not gonna lie, it's a curious choice (and I speak as one who loves Madagascar). I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in the room when Slash and Duff were thrashing out which Chinese Democracy songs to cover on the tour, and how they'd rework them.
Must say there are some top bants from Axl in this performance. Especially the bit at the end where he bumps into Slash.

My routine has become: check into GNRevolution the morning after a gig, "have they played Hardschool yet? Nope? Off I fuck then."

Who would have thought the Wachowskis would end up as one of the most creative film makers in modern Hollywood. They're about the only game in town now.
And they are now Trans lol.
And also no Lawrence Fishbourne. He wasn’t asked apparently.
They killed Morpheus off in a video game that was scripted by the Wachowskis and is (apparently) considered part of the canon by them. Though Neo and Trinity were killed off in the third film and they're back, so who knows?

Kind of crazy that Pink did a guest spot with GN'R at BottleRock and there still aren't any videos circulating of it.

elevendayempire wrote:The thing I find a wee bit disappointing is that they're basically "locked in" to the setlist because of all the video walls, pyro etc. There's no way for them to jam or whip out an unexpected cover. Like, they couldn't bust out a Rolling Stones jam to mark the passing of Charlie Watts?
They aren't locked into shit. It's a two-day turn around at minimum between shows.
You write a check and viola! New video boards and everything else.
This is even more ABSURD! when you consider some or all of the VFX company is traveling with them.
TBH I don't know why they don't simply have a "generic GN'R" video board that they can run over whatever random jam they want to drop into the set. Same way they have a generic "Duff" video and "Slash" video when they're doing their solo spots. That'd give them the flexibility to throw the odd cover or tribute or whatever into the set.
