Live Like a Suicide Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Not sure if this is the best forum for this post, but this is a topic intended for discussion... I was reading an interview in which John Brewster of The Angels mentioned that Guns N' Roses had playes 'Marseilles' and 'Take a Long Line' during sets in their heyday: Quote Consequently, we really did build a good name for ourselves there. Songs like Marseilles which I wrote and Take A Long Line which Rick wrote, they still get airplay over there and bands like Guns N Roses used to play that song in their set. http://maytherockbewithyou.com/mtrbwy/2011/10/john-brewster-of-the-angels/ Guns N' Roses have covered 'Marseilles' no less than three times (In 1988, 1989 - with The Angels -, and 2014), but i have never seen any evidence of 'Take a Long Line' being played in any sets. Does anyone know if there is any information of this happening, or better yet, know where to find any recordings of it? Here's the song in question: Cheers.

bigpoop Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I can't find any evidence of them ever playing it live but Axl apparently said the following onstage in Sydney in '88: “One of the main reasons this band got together was a song called ‘Take A Long Line’ At least according to this he did: https://stevemascord.com/2012/06/13/guns-nroses-sydney-entertainment-centre-1988/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki_Sixx Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 There's no evidence whatsoever that they ever did 'Take A Long Line' live, and there's certainly no known recording of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glidn Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love the 2014 cover they did of Marseilles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vloors Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I always enjoyed this 1989 performance of Marseilles featuring guns n roses. Axl and Crew are genuinely having a great time on stage with The Angels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotta be Axl, after all he worships one of the greatest if not THE greatest Aussie bred musicians of them ALL! ;-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I think they all like ACDC and Rose Tattoo. It don't have to be just one or the other... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludurigan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have repeated myself here on this forum saying that THERE HAS TO BE a handful of songs that GNR played (in rehearsals, live shows etc) that we have no idea of. I suppose that some rehearsals must have been recorded from 1986-1991. They may have tried this song in rehearsals who knows? The question is, DID GUNS N ROSES RECORD REHEARSALS AND WRITING SESSIONS? I know bands that record everything Guns n Roses must have recorded a lot of things. One shining example is the Chicago sessions in 1989. I mean, there must be COUNTLESS HOURS OF RECORDED MUSIC FROM THOSE SESSIONS ON TAPE LYING SOMEWHERE! If said recordings do exist, from 1986 to 1991, now THAT is GNR Holy Grail! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
