The Real McCoy Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Was it ever explained as to why Izzy sang it on the album, but Axl always sang it live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm aware, but I believe Axl was doing everything he could at that time to keep Izzy engaged and involved in the recording of the UYI by getting all of his songs on the albums. Furthermore, I believe Axl sung it live following Izzy's departure as a fuck you to Izzy. And the song sounds better with Axl's venom instead of Izzy's passive approach.

When Izzy was in the band they both sanged it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Killer song. It has a good groove too, it's mean plus you can jam to it. One of the highlights off UYI I for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanG Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Never really cared for this song too much. It's alright and a cool jam, but it's not a highlight for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I really like this song but it always feels unfinished somehow, like perhaps it needed another verse. It starts really strong but tails of too soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The fade out and in during the outro soli scream unfinished, to me. Lazy trick. The song itself is nothing special. Not a high point by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always saw it as clever because if you are listening to the album, it leads nicely into November Rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunset Gardner Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 i felt like it was a nightly acknowledgment to izzy on tour. when slash referred to the illusion records as gnr's "white album" i think of this song… the outro, just gnr/slash being artists… doing something different... not completely working against one another yet. great song.

MaskingApathy Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 That's Axl on the studio recording of the song... they incorrectly listed Izzy as the lead vocal in the liner notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlweave Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Izzy wrote the song, but Axl and Slash own it. It is great live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in my booklet. There is no lead vocal listed. Izzy is lead and rhythm guitars, Axl's background vocals. No vocals listed. Izzy's singing, Axl sings along in the chorus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe there is an interview where Axl said Izzy sang it on the record cos it was 'badass' or something along those lines. I've tried to find it but to no avail. Help anyone?

Axl is clearly on the studio recording. But Izzy is the one doing the main vocals lines. Axl is the background/random bits/screams. Kind of like Cornshucker. Duff is the main vocal, but you hear Axl all over the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonGuns Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 In my booklet Izzy also plays lead guitar (except for the Spanish flamenco part which is slash), and given the simplicity of the playing compared to the live version I've always thought this to be true- I.e. Izzy playing but with Slash's set-up to make the album sound consistent. 10 hours ago, alfierose said: I really like this song but it always feels unfinished somehow, like perhaps it needed another verse.
