hodge4443 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) I know this has the old band and all that shit, and i know most of you have seen this 100 times, but I think the new band would absolutely own this song. Watch Dizzy in this video and you can just tell that if they did this song today Dizzy would rip it up check out 3:35. Slash was great in this video, but Ashba or Bumble would tear up that solo too. I just want to hear Axl sing this song one more time............fuckin badass...how amazing would it be to see the this live in South America next month? Edited February 11, 2010 by hodge4443
The Glow Inc. Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 As much as I love the studio version, I really don't think live renditions were that good...Sure I would really want to hear the new band play it, but there's a huge trainwreck potential.
Chris 55 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 As much as I love the studio version, I really don't think live renditions were that good...Yeah I agree. I love the studio version of Prostitute as well but I can't stand it live. It loses so many dimensions I feel
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 sorry i meant GIVE instead of guveEdit the title then...Anyways, Estranged was a great studio-song. Never really though it was that great live though. Same with SCOM, even though it was great during the '80's and now these days. Axls voice wasn't really great for some of their songs during the Illusion tour.
Anahzul Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I'd love to hear it again. It's so beautiful. Ha. Besides, I'd like to hear what they can do with this song.
MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I'd kill to hear whatever they play this summer in Istanbul. Electrix Six should open it
Powerage5 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I never thought it was that good live either, I've yet to hear a live version that I find even nearly as good as the studio version. That said, I'd still like to hear Axl take a crack at it now.
AmyL Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Sorry I love what the new band is doing. That has already been done and I can listen too it anytime I want. And yes it is one of my fav. gnr songs.
GeorgeGlass Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Sorry I love what the new band is doing. That has already been done and I can listen too it anytime I want. And yes it is one of my fav. gnr songs.Want to hear Bad Obsession as well, very easy song to carry.
dalsh327 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I would think they all have to know the GNR songs inside and out in case Axl decides on a whim to do any one of them. In 2010, sound systems are as good as they get, so I don't see why not.
Towelie Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Axl seems to virtually ignore all of the Illusions track bar November Rain these days.
burden Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 When posters say that they never liked the live version, does that mean the recorded live version or their actual experiences in hearing it live at the show?
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Axl seems to virtually ignore all of the Illusions track bar November Rain these days.He plays Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Live and let Die and You could be mine every show.
Forsaken Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I wan't to hear this bands version of Double Talkin Jive. Yeah, I know, just a mediocre UYI song but this song was killer live, with the extended guitar solos. I would be VERY interested to hear Bumble or Ashba's attempt at the 10 minute solo/improv.
burden Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Whenever the topic of an older song comes up ESTRANGED is always mentioned. Hearing it live in 2010 would be epic.It's an epic song and should not be ignored in the catalog. In my opinion many Illusion songs should be played on a more regular basis including Civil War, Estranged, Yesterdays, Perfect Crime, Don't Cry, You Ain't The First (acoustic), Double-Talkin Jive, Breakdown, Pretty Tied Up, Dead Horse, Locomotive.

It's one of my favorite Guns song and it sounds even better live, I wouldn't mind the band playing it at ALL.Oh and I'm sure the band will play Estranged, they just have to.

-Anti- Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Amazing song. In many ways more emotional than NR. What show as this from?

What's funny is people argue these songs would bring down the show! The Illusions sold like 30 million worldwide! Chances are people at the shows, know these songs!People would certainly know some of the songs (Civil War, Don't Cry, Yesterdays, maybe Estranged), but a lot of the Illusions stuff is considered pretty obscure still. If they came out and played Breakdown or So Fine, how many people do you think would be really into it? Granted, up-tempo stuff like Right Next Door To Hell, Perfect Crime, or Double Talkin' Jive would get the crowd nice and rowdy, still I would hardly expect too many people to know themI'd say best shot at Illusions songs would be if Izzy ever jams again, Dust N' Bones or 14 Years.I wan't to hear this bands version of Double Talkin Jive.

"I still fail to see why anyone thinks this is why we've yet to hear Estranged. 48 doesn't exactly contradict the "old at heart" the way 28 does, and sort of loses some of the meaning.
D.. Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I would guve a lot to hear this live. But I feel This I love is kind of a sequel to it, and maybe more appropriate to where he's at now. But they play older songs than Estranged so they might play it again, let's hope so!
FuddMckagan Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I would rather them play Don't Cry. Estranged has never really been a good live song, it's a lot better on the record.
axl8302 Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I'm happy with the shows they're doing, but I would love to hear Guns' perform this again, such a beautiful song. Great performance! "Maybe I'll get it right next time - I doubt it!" Lol!
nambis Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 what are you guys talking about? i think the version in the youtube video above sounds awesome live. and I would love to hear gnr play this these days. i just wonder if it brings back too many slash memories for axl... cause in the liner notes, he thanks slash for the riffs.

He's much too young to have a broken heart. 28 doesn't contradict "old at heart", it explains how he feels old even though he's young.He doesn't use 28 as proof that he's old at heart.Besides, he could easily say "old at heart, but I was only 28, and much to young to let love break my heart".Nazareth sort of makes fun of "I'm young, I know" when they do Love Hurts.
Thierry-Henry Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Estranged in The Ritz, 1991.In never really liked live versions of estranged until I heard this one ! this SOOO damn good, from the introduction to the last note played...this is perfect.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCiRXv_kgKo
