bacardimayne Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Eh, I'd say it's the weakest of the UYI ballads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdlove Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Eh, I'd say it's the weakest of the UYI ballads.Is it even a ballad? It's a short, not so epic song. Not taking anything away from it, it's a good song. Yesterdays just doesnt have the length or the theatrics of Estranged or Civil War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunsNRevolvers2 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I like it, I just really wish it was like 5-6 minutes long, not under 3...it goes and leaves to fast to really get invested in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesusisSavior Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm a fan of the song & can see how Axl would relate to the song on a new medium if they were to play it...Yesterday, there was so many thingsI was never toldNow that I'm startin' to learnI feel I'm growing old'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for meOld pictures that I'll always seeTime just fades the pagesIn my book of memoriesPrayers in my pocketAnd no hand in destinyI'll keep on movin' alongWith no time to plant my feet'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for meOld pictures that I'll always seeSome things could be betterIf we'd all just let them be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanatic Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 This song would/will be amazing live. Axl's voice now is just how it was when this song was recorded. Fuckin rocks. I reeeealy hope they do this song. Ima be like pretty sad if they never get around to playing all these epic UYI songs. No way they can go thru the rest of the tour pretending UYI hardly exists. And Yesterdays is not a ballad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in "they" would be AXL. He runs the show. It aint no democracy. Can you imagine one of the hired guns firing up "hey Axl, i think we should play...............".

Granny Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) I love it. As I love all the colours on Axls songwriting, singing and arranging palette. I love the full overdone blast of fury and heroics, and I love the pensive, reflective songs. My favourite version of this one is the short clip . But I also like the Music Video with the close-ups on increasingly grown-up and disillusioned Axl.P.S.: Oh, and I don't really care if they perform it again or not. It's there for me anytime I want it. The rest is up to them and I take what they chose to have fun with.

LOLThe reason I say 'they' is because I'm not referring to only Axl singing. Seeing as all of the band members contribute to every song, I think 'they' is appropriate.

Axl owns dexter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Very underrated GnR song. I'd love me some Yesterdays at the South American shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuddMckagan Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Love the song, don't think they should play it though.It would be kinda weird, given the lyrics and the fact that it wasn't played much on the UYI tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick83 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I don't see why they would play it. Axl wants to give the fans just enough of the old songs to satisfy, and those will be the more popular ones at least. I think eventually, he'd prefer to play a lot less of the old songs. I would love to hear Yesterdays. I love that song, but I think we probably won't be hearing it any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Apollo Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 One of my favorite GnR songs ever.I think Civil War and Yesterdays should have been hits.Civil War should have been one of the "epic" (i hate the word) type songs. And Yesterdays is just a good old fashion rock song. Not mixed 975 times with 83 different instruments or overproduced ...... it's just a great song.

DebbieNgeorgia Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think that "Yesterdays" would be a perfect song for this band to play or a horrible choice. It would all depend on the audience, fans and medias perception of what is being said. If they just took the song for the bittersweet song that it is, it would be great and I, for one, would love to hear it live. But, if people decided that it was done as a dig toward the "old GnR" days, then it could be a bad choice. Ahem, what to do, what to do?! Lol Personally, I like the song and I told my ex that it reminds me of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind the band playing either songs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
