    I think it will depend on how it sells, to be honest.

    At the very least, I'd expect 'em to play the singles.

          I think they will play quite a few new songs, partly because they must be incredibly bored with the old stuff and a little because it will have the Wolfgang stamp on it.

          Remember how much 5150 crap they played on that tour.

          Roth is wise enough not to over egg it though. How many times has he made the joke about 'Hey Beethoven do you still do da da da daah?'

              I agree with Lounge...I think they're gonna play a whole bunch of the new album...that's the point of this tour. At this very moment, if they came out...played Blood and Fire and left, I'd be satisfied. That tune blew my eyelids off...

              But, there aren't that many classics that could be dumped from the set list to make room for the new albums cuts which, hopefully, means we get just a little bit longer of a show...

                  But they'll play every cut off the new disc.
                  No way...

                  New albums from aging rock stars generally don't sell all that well...

                  And most casual fans will be expecting to hear the classics played live...

                      True...but I'm thinking there will be a shift in the numbers for ADKOT...

                      ...but then again...I'm biased

                          So am I, but if there's no serious promotion there will be no serious sales...

                            I think this IS serious promotion...that CSI-shit and the internet attention they are creating...we'll see...
