This live is surreal... I don't know if you realize how lucky we are that we got a pro-shot from this one (still waiting for a "There was a time" pro-shot...). Best GNR song hands down, the 2 last minutes are out of this world, Axl is struggling very hard in the last part but he puts so much rage that it works. Outstanding performance for one of the best rock songs of all time. It's a miracle that they played it so well given they barely ever played it live back then.. genius.
Slash can play with 5,4,3,2 or 1 strings, he don't even fucking need a guitar her brain creates a sound particle and put into the universe. (Slash is the real god).
I love Axl and always will. I love this song, its how I feel sometimes, especially after seeing what happen in Japan, makes me wish I was in a Coma to avoid seeing all those cars in the ocean and houses too
In my opinion, this is a powerful tune. The problem was that it was "too long" for the radios to launch it, because they would need to sacrifice time for the adds, haha. Anyway, if you're a real GNR fan, deffinitely this should be part of your compilation.
Awesome, thanks for posting this. Live GN'R often played it safe knocking out Double Talkin; Jive, Live and Let Die, Heaven's Door etc. to the point of predictability.
This must've been a real treat to hear live. Cracking version!
the reason why they didn't play it more is, after axl wrote the lyrics and then Duff and Slash put all the music direction behind i, Axl realized it was a bitch to do and it hurt to sing it all the time so they did it about 5 times and that's about it. it was the same for a couple of other tunes like Locomotive, Right Next Door To Hell and a few others, but when they did do them man they were awssome.
@vonkiser Axl actually wrote this about himself, as he tried to commit suicide prior to the UYI albums, od'ing on pills. However, he wanted the band to achieve greater success and apparently brought himself out of the drug induced coma, which in turn inspired him to write this song.
@CFKMAN technically they did two world tours. the official UYI tour, but before that Guns did one hell of a tour after the release of appetite, not an official world tour but they went everywhere with everyone. It was one hell of a trip according to slash' book.
@UwillBmine2 Watch his performance of Paradise City with Myles Kennedy and the rest of the guys. He plays it more or less note for note DJ and Ron have nothing on him they cant play his solos the way he can they never could and never will be able to, any one who thinks otherwise...well the less said about them the better to be quite honest.
They say this was such a strain on Axl's voice, it was hard to perform live. I guess it's true because I have never seen anyone try to nail this one on karaoke! :)
@gnrmusicman1 Wasn't it more like: Slash got the basic idea and skeleton for the song and brought it to Axl/band and he/they improved on it? Like most every other song.
@gnrmusicman1 well.... the band wrote the instrumental, under slash's guidance...... then axl took nine months writing lyrics, thats what slash says in his autobiography :)
@brunosmovies Why does a lot of people believe that Slash did everything?? If he breaks a string is because the song is hard,if someone else did its because he's stupid,if he changes the solo hes master,id someone else,its because doesn't know how to play.....Axl plays sorry and its "eletronic" not Guns,if Slash plays with rappers its because he can play with anyone and is versatile, Slash SOLD his part of guns,plays with michael jackson,fergie,rappers.....hes gone....and Axl is back . SO SORRY.
@brunosmovies He "wrote" than did everything I said.......and now he's desperate to find a singer like Axl,but he'll spend all his life trying . Im going to see Ashba and Axl in RiR ,by. Fucking retard? Sorry if I hurt you're feelings ,but true do that sometimes.....just face it.
@DarkClanMem Slash wrote all the guitaring on 'GnR- Lies' and him and Izzy wrote a lot of the lead for the 'Use your Illusion albums' because Axl was ever in the studio to do it himself. AFD was mainly Axl and Izzy though.
@martinizing10 every song was made by the band, none of the songs would be what they are unless they were all involved in the making of it, they all do their part
this was Slashs Brainchild of a song,its was what he wrote,from what i gather,one of their best songs by far,and of course axl's call on everthing,they never played it live,this is very rare!!!!!! Which Sucks goats balls!!!
get the book reckless road look at the photos of the band starting out,,, and i assure you they all dressed abit radical,, but it was cool.... axl always wore the kilt going back to the roxy days... they were real punk,, hard rock,, even make up at the start of GNR,,, who gives a fuck what they wore,, they could bang out a tune and when i was high i fuckintg loved it,,, best nights of my live seening guns n roses live,,, best band ever,, no one will ever get near them,,, HARD ROCK KINGS GNR...
