Original GN'R songs:
Orlando 09/02/1992: 12
Vegas 11/24/2012: 20
How much the AFD songs have been done since 2001:

It's a safe bet half the album is played virtually at every show.
How much for CD?
http://www.gunsnroses-livestats.com/album.php?album=6
Street of Dreams and Chinese have been around virtually all along. This I Love turned out to be another regular. Better is mostly there.
Shackler bounces on and off. Maddy is surprisingly irregular, always has been.
Catcher and TWAT came up more often during/since the Vegas shows.
Sorry was dropped from the setlist before Vegas. IRS was dropped in 2010.
All other songs (Riad, If the World, Prostitute, Scraped) have mostly been absent, barring very few instances.

Kurt Cobain named it the greatest album ever made.
I just discovered it, having been familiar with earlier works of KC (the Lake/Sinfield -era).
Wow, that's heavy.

I remember they did that for the online Hall of Fame voting a couple years ago. But they're about to run into another nutjob fanbase in the finals (Rush).

Zep, hands down.

The comedy comes to play when reading this thread next to the one at HTGTH.
It's all in the eye of the beholder

I must admit, Matt Sorum looks increasingly good for his years...
Now there's a goal for each of us.

Was stuck with glasses for over a decade.
Finally got up and went to laser-eye surgery.

The last person you would have ever thought who'd be satisfied with being a geriatric nostalgia act who's setlist is more predictable than the sun rising in the east and setting in the west was Axl Rose.
True.
You'd think he'd be exactly the kind of person to sneer at RRHOF and release a digital single with Deadmau5.
Just going against the railing, keeping a high-profile as a recording artist, always having an unbiased ear for good music. And heckling whenever he gets the chance.
Too true, he only does the last bit

McLaren knew how to shape and promote the Pistols, which is where the national exposure came from.
This doesn't take away the fact that they were apparently a stonking live band in their prime, despite the fact that Glen Matlock, arguably the most musically-inclined member at the time, was switched to Sid Vicious, a never-do-well fan who bought into the hype and didn't know how to play bass in the first place.
Rotten/Lydon grew to hate his legacy with a passion and made much more interesting music with Public Image Limited over the years. Certainly not punk rock, or even rock, but noteworthy none the less. If you want to believe it, he claims he used the butter money to finance their latest studio album, This is PIL.
And hey, without the Sex Pistols, we might've never had Joy Division.

I missed otto's original post on CD2, so I dug it up for reference. Nice one, dude

You mean in a good way or a bad way?
I feel both this and silkworms are a little more organic on the musical side than much of CD ended up being. This is what the new band brought to the table, while a lot of CD stuff is them trying to be the old band. I think that's supported by both OMG and Silkworms absence from CD after first being released as a single and then being 2/5 of the new songs presented in Rio.
On the positive side Axl has said that the next album will be more experimental. What seems to have happened is the new sound didn't get the reception he had hoped, so he lumped all the more accessible material on CD when it became apparent he had to release something.
Mixed emotions. I've people close to me who work for Universal in Brazil and have ALLEGEDLY heard songs from a follow up BEFORE Chinese was released. They even mentioned song titles that only the hardcore GNR followers would know (Atlas, Seven, Thyme) and they're DEFINETLY not followers, so that grants them some credibility to me. Anyway, they said that the songs they've heard were "epic", "heavy on guitars and synth" and "orchestration all around, higher vocals than on CD"...
If you listen carefully to Silkworms, except for epic and the higher vocals, you have everything they've mentioned. And if Silkworms is the way to go, I'll be disapointed.
BUT they've mentioned that Atlas, Seven and Thyme are closer to Prostitute and Madagascar arrangements than the other songs on CD. One of them mentioned that if you'd listen to CD and the follow up (as it was tracklisted back then) non-stop it would seem like the same album.
