JFC, imagine having to deal with people shrieking at you like that.

Yeah, but GN'R had Perfect Crime on the setlist for like a decade and never played the fucking thing.

I think that the GN'R name/nostalgia tour thing is still an easier sell to the general public than we, the diehards, think it is. We sit here whinging that "they've only added one song to the setlist" or "they're still playing Wichita Lineman" or whatever. But 90% of people don't give a shit; their mate went to see GN'R last year and was all "OMG it was amazing, Axl and Slash are back together," so they figure, "fuck it, I'll buy a ticket this time around."

Demonstrably they're not selling these shows on the promise of a new album, because the vast majority of the wider public (the people actually buying the tickets) don't know that there's a new album coming.
