Zoot Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Eh... On one hand I'd love to hear Axl's take on it. On the other hand that song was very personal to Scott Wieland & Duff. Considering the circumstances, I'd rather they left that particular song alone. Slither or Do it for the Kids would be awesome though.

MADDOGJONES Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It's like a poor mans don't cry to me. Not interested in Axl singing it at all. I wouldn't mind hearing set me free. Or maybe messages, the fan mix up of that with Madagascar was nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucketfoot Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Love the song but it shouldn't be anywhere near a GN'R setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano09 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Fall to Pieces? But Izzy didn't write it and Steven didn't play on it! I kid, I kid. I'd like to hear some VR but I'd go Slither before Fall to Pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always found Weiland to be a cheap knock off, can't believe he is regarded as a "legendary frontman" these days...and never understood why those guys chose him to be their singer.

Silent Jay Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Contraband basically was two singles that had to borrow heavily from Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses and a big pile of generic and forgettable trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good stuff. Fall To Pieces is great musically with a generic structure and lyrics. Loving The Alien is good and of course Big Machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk_on_Drugs Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 FTP is one of my all time favourite songs. I wasn't lucky enough to ever hear Scott sing it, but I'd vote for it to be well left alone. They added Wish You Were Here for him, and that's a far more fitting tribute imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear some VR but I'd go Slither before Fall to Pieces. I think the song is very generic personally but FTP has the distinction of being one of the final tracks Slash played for Axl. Presumably, it would have been on the 1996 album. That's why I have no issues with Slash playing "This I Love" -- the song was intended for the next GnR album since 1993. Slash playing it only brings the band full circle. He's the only guitarist who should have been on that song in the first place.

Slash playing it only brings the band full circle. He's the only guitarist who should have been on that song in the first place. "this i love" is the best song on CD, it's one of the best examples of how amazing axl's voice really is. i agree, when slash plays it he brings it to a deeper level, it's both beautiful and tragic, it shows how axl and slash are nothing without the other and they wasted years not speaking. i wonder if there's anything left in the tank between them for a new record or records. i think "fall to pieces" is okay, but it doesn't deserve to be in a gnr show considering the number of masterpieces that don't get played on a nightly basis. breaking out a song like "slither" over say "the seeker" would be an exciting change.

I don't hate Fall to Pieces by any means, but think they are a little over repetitive. Your comment made me wonder about that so I decided I need to go see if I could figure out why that is. Some interesting stats (excel what can't it do?): Fall to pieces: Total words: 170 # different words: 48 Top used word: word # used percentage of song I'm 15 8.82% Falling 14 8.24% I 14 8.24% Pieces 13 7.65% To 12 7.06% Fall 10 5.88% All 9 5.29% Alone 9 5.29% Down 9 5.29% Every 8 4.71% Total# 113 66.47% This I love: Total words 299 # different words 109 Top used word: word # used percentage of song I 16 5.35% ME 16 5.35% She 8 2.68% So 8 2.68% her 7 2.34% It 7 2.34% God 6 2.01% the 5 1.67% eyes 5 1.67% say 5 1.67% Total # 83 27.76% The top ten used words in Fall to Pieces takes up 66% of the song and truthfully, Fall, Falling and Fell are all similar to my ear and if you account for that the top ten words is 75% of the song. Falling to Pieces is repetitive. This I Love may be overly sappy or whatever, but it is not nearly as repetitive. Okay but that's just the lyrics. Musically, This I Love is extremely repetitive. The sing-songy verse melody in particular. Plus the whole thing seems to drone on and on for-fucking-ever. Terrible song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Fall to Pieces is one of the most absolute shittiest fucking songs of all time. So no it should not be played on this tour or ever. It's fucking horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
