I just don't understand.  If someone ask questions which mentioning song titles, he could just desert this question and won't display this kind of question on his forum.  It's easy to be done.

And if someone doesn't want to know setlists before he/she goes to the concerts, he/she can just ignore all the source websites and forums, that's what some of fans are doing now.  

Some other fans can't wait for the concerts they are going, so they want to know the setlist or even listen to recordings,  it's up to them.  Why bother?

So why a slightly refinement of the recording/photo policy?  Sorry if I say something directly.  I do respect our man.

No. I don't see why people should avoid forums and not be able to participate in general discussions just because some forum users are too stupid to mark spoilers properly! Really, it annoys the HELL out of me. There are spoilers spread in threads everywhere, song titles are mentioned in the general discussion area of this forum. People post without thinking. Guy thinks he can be super authoritarian and tell fans off because they ask set list questions but he isn't able to not provoke them! Set lists are spread on Facebook even though I asked not to. Great. And it seems as if I'm the only one who's upset about this. Why can't people follow some simple rules? It is possible, just look at some tv show forums! I wonder how some people would feel if I gave away the season finale of their favourite series. Dexter's girlfriend was killed by the Trinity killer at the end of season four, Lucas will propose to Cuddy in the season finale of House etc etc. How do you feel now? You've picked this up in some place you had hoped not to read information like this because people didn't care. The internet has become a place for randomness and anarchy and I hate this sometimes. I stumbled across so many set list hints I'm not even sure I will enjoy the shows anymore.

Very sorry for this rant but I'm really upset about this.

I really don't see what Guy's problem is.  Why can't he just do the decent thing and answer peoples set-list questions?  If he can't be bothered to do this then he should put a note on his forum saying "no set-list questions please" then he could disregard any that come in, but I really don't understand why he shouldn't answer people and to answer with his increasingly frequent use of the word "arrgh" is not very nice at all when people have taken the time to write in.  In some posts you can tell that people are walking on egg shells, dancing around the set-list to get to their point just so they don't get an "arrgh!"

I contributed myself complaining about the finger of the death, probably a bad movement from me  :(

Huh, the "finger of the death"? What's that?  ;D

Hmm, I'm thinking about reading the setlist now... Seems like I already know 75 percent anyway... Or are the other 15 percent worth the wait?

The "Finger of the dearh" is how Isaac Shabtar called MK pointing people who are filming the shows, he kind of made a pause playing one song (according to Guy it was in a natural pause in his playing in that song) to point to a person.

About to read the set-lists, it depends on which tracks do you know, if you tell us, we can tell you if the surprises are revealed or not and you can act according to it  :D

Also, if you are angry about that, take a picture of yourself and send it to, never seen a pic of you without that beautiful and big smile  ;)

Ah, of course, MK's finger of death  :o LOL, if it wasn't so tragic, I'd laugh about it...
Hm well, setlist-wise, I guess I already know the "usual suspects" (the DS songs and that other song from his solo works with the whammy bar he's been playing since 2005) but I don't know which songs from GL he plays. Also have no clue about the opening song  :)

Personally speaking I think the place for set-list questions is a forum like this and not to pester GF about it and tell him to play other songs because obviously everyone likes different songs and they will never please everyone, but Guy leaves himself open to this line of questioning and it's not very nice to answer a long passage with a "arrgh" especially when some people have to think hard to translate.  So although I agree with you that it must be frustrating for Guy, I think he should try to be a little more understanding that in having his forum he is leaving himself open to this line of questioning unless he bans set-list questions.

I agree on that, but in the other hand he
