I gotta be honest...
Anyone in 2016 who is paying $100-300 bucks to hear GN'R play AFD songs for the zillionth time... i'd argue isn't a real fan.
Truly
They are either casual fans, or johnny come lately kids who missed out on the old-era of GN'R and want to hear the AFD "Trinity" perform Appetite songs.
The long-time fans, the true fans of the band are there to hear UYI deep cuts, Slash & Duff Chinese remixes, or... gasp... a new song.

not sure what to think about this. I think Slash nailed the solo this time, yeah. sounds great.
but I still think Robin's version matches the song better. because it sounds so broken and fragile, just like the song itself. but this new version is cool, too!
I think alot of people have gotten used to the songs sounding the way they sound.
I remember in 2006 when people shit when Dizzy (who co-wrote it), created a piano-based intro for Street of Dreams, and they dropped the far superior guitar-driven "Blues" version of song from 2002.
Same with TIL feat. DJ or Slash, or TWAT not having it's outro with Bucket, or Catcher w/ Ron instead of Brian May.
People have become attached to the original version of This I Love. Like I said, I always wanted Robin's solo gone anyways, so Slash coming in is like me being in a bad marriage and wanting a divorce, and suddenly my old girlfriend walks in the door, smoking hot, and says "wanna fuck?"
You bet your goddamn ass I do Slash

I am utterly stunned to walk into this thread today and see the negativity towards Slash's TIL solo.
I think you GN'R nuts have heard shitty ass guitarists for the last 20 years so much, you forgot what a real one sounds like.
Oh yeah, and btw that setlist posted IS NOT a guideline. There are songs they've already performed that aren't even listed on it like Raw Power & Seeker. Now we've got new ones, plus they supposedly rehearsed Maddy.
James said it last night... after Coma... literally anything is on the table for performance.

I like Slash's solo here better than last nights, but I still prefer the album version. The crescendo that it builds to on the album just isn't there.
That's my only criticism of the night, it's still fantastic.
Coma
See here's the thing...
I ALWAYS FUCKING HATED Robin's solo. I prefer DJ Ashba's take on the song more than Robin's. When I remixed the album in 2010, I turned up the orchestra section over Robin, in order to let the guitar back the orchestra, rather than the other way around.
So for me, Slash's solo is great and makes the song brand-new.
Then again... I always thought Robin was a shit guitarist, and his TIL solo tops the fucking list of shit. So...
Only thing Robin did in the band I liked was his Better solo and his mid-section solo in TWAT
But both of those are not earth-shattering, nor are they on the level of Slash's NR & Don't Cry & Estranged solos.
To me, Slash on TIL, has finally made the song what Axl always wanted it to be... a sequel to November Rain.

You can't put your arms around a memory! Amazing.
They played the start off it, then changed to Attitude.
Just to clarify for those out there, what Duff and the band did was an old school UYI-era INTRO trick.
Fucking loved that.
They intro'ed YCPYAAAM into Attitude
And it was fucking badass
Sounds like Coma is next...
#190 Re: Guns N' Roses » 9/4/16 T-MOBILE ARENA, LAS VEGAS, NV UNITED STATES » 552 weeks ago
Again... Slash on This I Love's solo is what Bucket was on his solo on Nightrain in 2002
Completely re-invents the song
Anybody that can't hear that, or think Robin Finck's is better is fucking deaf
