Shaolin Punk Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Hey Gunners, I just thought i'd put it out there that I reckon Get in the Ring would absolutely KILL in a live context, yeah it's a bit of a 'Jokey' or tongue in cheek... bad damn I reckon that song would RIP live!! Who's with me? That classic bluesy, slutty intro and the sheer sneer and tenacity of all its punk glory. the name-calling section would be interesting to see what they fire out I reckon it would literally blow the roof off any venue and the faces off any crowd. Damn. (I won't do a vote etc, but i don't often see it discussed much.) Loathe it or think it would shred? Edit: Sorry if this has already been discussed in detail, I'm just a shady lurker on here mostly Edited July 29, 2016 by Shaolin Punk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holographic Universe Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Musically this song is awesome. The guitar intro is a thing of beauty. The lyrics date the song. If the band could find a way to redo the lyrics but I doubt Axl has an interest in doing that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Never understood why this song was is so unpopular.. Always liked it. I remember hearing it on the radio once back in the day. They used Homer Simpson sounds to edit out all the swears. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolin Punk Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 I can imagine these guys smacking the shit out of this! And obviously many others, but it's got some classic GnR hitting hard at its core! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitha_whiskey Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I would love it if they played it. Even just the Slash intro lick would be cool like in one of the jams or something. (I also love the song because my voice is on it! Saratoga Springs '91- crowd doing the chanting. Sorry to be the guy who says that like 4 times now in various threads! But hey- if your voice was somewhere on the UYIs, so would you!) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post passenger57 Posted July 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2016 This song feels like it was written to play live, would love to hear it. Axl could easily update the lyrics with something he may be currently pissed off about lol 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StrangerInThisTown Posted July 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2016 This song just summarizes what GNR is all about. Attitude, badassness and not giving a fuck about haters, and hard bluesy riffs. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yup, they should play it and just remove the middle rant. It would be great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-p-d-a Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 One of the best Intros. I'm serious.. I love to play this song on my Les Paul.. pure fun. but i think is just a song against the stupid media at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ugh, the middle rant. Cut that. It ruins the song. When I was 17 it sounded cool and edgy, but now it just makes me cringe. Other than, it's a fun song. Nothing special IMO, but it's ok. But I personally wouldn't want them to play this song live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverburst80 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I always liked the " you got your crystal meth and yeast infection" part and the evil voice effect. Fun little jam and again like so many other songs i'd prefer they play that opposed The Seeker or Layla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well capitalize off me mother fucker, get in the ring Dr. Pepper and I'll kick your frosty little ass. Punk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyReed63 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) I still fight back with people using, "You wanna antagonize me?! Antagonize me mother f*cker!" - and they usually don't know where I got that from. And your guys' rewrites of the rant are cracking me up.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Love this song! Just think of the rant Axl could do now! I remember hearing Axl say in an interview how the other band members loved his rant, but when those people bitched about it, the other band members didn't back him up. Could be the song brings up bad memories for Axl. No matter, I love this song and I love the rant! Axl at his best! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
