After reading the "real fans' posts", I thought people will be confused and disappointed if it's not Pink Panther between NR and DC. Ron is an evil mofo, he's against the fans will for a stable and balanced setlist. I really hope that the Bond theme and Brick will remain and God forbid DJ coming up with a new solo.
On a serious note, I really thank Ron for reading the boards. He's the only one in the band who actually cares about the fans. Thanks.

I could do without the Snakepit stuff.. i love Beggars but the rest I could do without.
maybe keep:
GNR: Nightrain,SCOM, RQ, Brownstone, PC. Civil War
VR: Sucker train, FTP, Slither,
Slash 2010: Ghost, Back to Cali Starlight, Nothing To Say, Dr Alibi *kicks ass live with Todd
By The SwordThat would be 12. then do beggars, maybe alternate one other Snakepit
Then do 6-8 new songs.
I think you are close to it. But since they haven't played Brownstone for a years (except at the HOF), I don't expect it to be played. Civil War got dropped recently. The other GN'R songs will remain and I think they'll play My Michelle more this tour to give something 'new old'.
Slither will remain, probably even FTP. Not sure about Suckertrain and DLT (I'm surprised they still haven't played Superhuman, which sounds like a Slash song to me).
There will be Snakepit material. Beggars for sure, I don't think they'd drop Mean Bone, as it's the opening song this tour. Just Like Anything will be in the rotation. I'd love to hear Shine and more Snakepit I though.
Yeah, those Slash 2010 songs will be played, too.

This is amazing. They really deliver... I wanted to wait till the album comes out, but this live performance was too tempting. They're all great, Myles is the king of lower registers, he shouldn't go high that often and Todd's bass playing was surprisingly impressing. Wow, what a song.

Slash
Apocalyptic Love
http://themusic.com.au/reviews/album/20 … ptic-love/
When comparing Slash’s self-titled debut solo album to Apocalyptic Love, it would easily be considered Slash’s pop record of sorts. Apocalyptic Love leaves the pop behind and propels head first into leather clad rock’n’roll. Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), a featured vocalist on Slash, was drafted to handle frontman duties for his live gigs, Kennedy impressed ‘the man in the top hat’ enough to be the only vocalist on this album, and it works.
Slash chooses to leave the session musicians behind and instead utilises his live band on this album, the end result being a straightforward rock album that features trademark tasty guitar hooks and soaring vocal melodies. Opening with the album’s title track, which launches straight into a detailed guitar riff (sounding more like a solo), the track briskly winds its way to a melodic bridge before launching into our first guitar solo of the album. Part of Slash’s success lies in his ability to appeal to guitar nerds through blistering solos and guitar technique. However, he understands what the guitarist’s role is in a band, which is to compliment the singer and the melody of the song, and it is that which appeals to the non guitar nerd; the songs are just darn good rocking tunes.
Highlights include the riff heavy Halo, the anthemic No More Heroes, the vocally-rich We Will Roam and the epic Not For Me. Whilst Apocalyptic Love doesn’t have the entourage of famous singers, this album proves they aren’t needed, Slash’s intricate guitar riffs combine mercilessly with Kennedy’s melodic vocal style and, simply put, the end result is a brilliant rock’n’roll record.
FACT FILE
Length: 13 tracks, 54 minutes
Mood: Heavy, anthemic, rich.

The band shots could have been better, it looks a bit home video sometimes, but overall I really liked it. Catches the energy of the song and makes that even better. (I only 'liked' YAL at first, but it's really grown. Now I'd say as far as that I dig it.

Isn't Rick Florino the same guy who wrote those glowing articles about CURRENT GNR recently? A guy who supports both? Nah, couldn't be.
Rick Florino = monkeychow?

Slash "Apocalyptic Love" Review — 5 out of 5 stars
http://www.artistdirect.com/entertainme … s/10071876
Apocalyptic Love embodies every side of Slash.
Like some kind of rock 'n' roll kaleidoscope, the album evinces the legendary guitarist at his best from all angles. There are soft and subdued moments. There's danger. There's mayhem. There's blues. There's shred. There's everything you could want from a rock record and more. That said—it's both an essential guitar album and a new classic for "R&Fn'R" at large. Apocalyptic Love is some of the man's most incendiary and infectious playing yet, and you're going to be knocked out by it.
A drum count-off leads right into a swaggering wah pedal lead at the beginning of the title track. Quickly, a stadium-size chorus from Myles Kennedy [Alter Bridge] rises in tandem with Slash's riffing and shredding. Theirs is an immortal partnership that instantly transfixes and transcends. Drummer Brent Fitz powers through a juggernaut of a beat, while Todd Kerns's bass roars like a freight train. During the bridge, Kennedy sounds inimitably soulful just before another fiery lead from Slash blazes up the night sky. That action all takes place in just the opening track mind you…
A guttural guitar sparks "One Last Thrill" before Kennedy rages through a rapid-fire verse reminiscent of Motörhead's best beatdowns. It's a speed demon firecracker of a song that's bound to get festivals shaking their asses along. Meanwhile, "Standing in the Sun" is a towering rocker that's heavy on groove and Alice in Chains-esque harmonies from Kennedy. Let's not forget the face-melting solo. At the same time, "No More Heroes" gives everyone space to shine. "We Will Roam" shimmies from a bluesy intro into a metallic charge at the right moment. It feels like it should've been ripped right from Easy Rider. You might want to hit the highway the second you hear it.
One standout, "Anastasia", starts with elegant classical guitar, slowly opening the curtain for the drama to come. Quickly, orchestral tapping culminates on another vivid journey driven by the guitars, drums, bass, and Kennedy's impeccable wail. Equally cinematic is "Far and Away". It's one of Slash's most beautiful compositions ever. Kennedy sounds utterly divine, painting a picture of longing and love lost. "Shots Fired" simply destroys while the bonus track "Crazy Life" is the ultimate rock anthem.
People claim rock is dead. However, every note of Apocalyptic Love stands as proof that it's alive and kicking. It belongs up there with the best of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver. Guys like Slash and Myles Kennedy carry a torch from Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Randy Rhoads, and all the other greats. It's burning as brightly as ever too.
