Songs Played
Guns N' Roses relied on an Appetite for Destruction heavy set list whilst adding new songs from the upcoming album Chinese Democracy, such as "Street of Dreams (The Blues)", "Madagascar" and the title track. In 2006, with regard to the leaks, Rose commented, "This is for all you downloading fuckers" and added "Better" and "I.R.S." (more often than not played) and "There Was a Time" (less often) to the set list.
In 2007, the Bumblefoot solos were completely altered, with his variation on "Don't Cry" being made into the full and original song, thus speculation abounds as to whether the set list would contain more Use Your Illusion–era material, as this was a significant record. Two more songs from these records were added to the set list in 2011 when they started playing "Estranged" and "Civil War" regularly.
- Songs played since 2001: "Welcome to the Jungle", "It's So Easy, "Nightrain", "Out ta Get Me", "Mr. Brownstone", "Paradise City", "My Michelle", "Think About You", "Sweet Child o' Mine", "Rocket Queen" (from Appetite for Destruction); "Patience" (from G N' R Lies); "Live and Let Die", "November Rain" (from Use Your Illusion I); "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", "You Could Be Mine" (from Use Your Illusion II); "Oh My God" (from End of Days soundtrack); "Chinese Democracy", "Madagascar", "Street of Dreams (The Blues)", "Riad N' The Bedouins" (from Chinese Democracy); "Silkworms" (new song that did not appear on Chinese Democracy)
- Songs added in 2006: "Better", "I.R.S.", "There Was a Time" both versions of "You're Crazy", "Down on the Farm", and "Used to Love Her".
- Songs added in 2007: "Nice Boys" and "Don't Cry".
- Songs added in 2009: "This I Love", "Shackler's Revenge", "Sorry", "Scraped", "Catcher in the Rye", "Prostitute" and "If the World".
