springclean Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkKmXpcwYOkIt's not so close to the album version as the current performance, but it's more....alive? Love the drumming and the swagger-ish feel to it, hard to explain, sounds like Rolling Stones Mick Taylor era on steroids. They are jamming the hell out of that song in the 2nd half and Robin Finck kicks some serious ass here. I even like Ron's take on the solo here.I'd love to hear TWAT played like this at the end of a show how about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Paradise City should be the last. Welcome To The Jungle should be the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.. Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I prefer the 2009 & 2010 live version of TWAT. 2006 was great but somehow a bit lacking. I agree it would be nice to see it end the shows sometimes but I must say Nightrain and Paradise City really do it for me as a show closer, it's so full of energy and happiness haha.I just want variation, I don't really care what opens or closes the show as long as I can see the band perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 No, just throw TWAT in the middle. PC works as the closer, why fuck with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 The concerts run far too long to close with a song that's not something like PC (one that everyone knows and pumps people up).I think for the die-hards it would be cool, don't get me wrong - but I picture a lot of casual fans leaving if they played a song like that to close.

The Chinese Democracy-WTTJ one-two punch was absolutely perfect, wouldn't have it any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Honcho Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It should be played just before Paradise City, like Estranged was back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Prostitute would be a great closer too. With the synth outro of course.Prostitute would be a great penultimate song (with the outro of course). Then, when everybody thinks it's all over... Paradise City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradise City.TWAT is my favorite song on CD, but we all know axls struggles with this song live, i can imagine him trying to push that out after 2 hours plus of singing. Also, he strugles int he first part of the song only because as it is recorded, there are no pauses or breaks, its one loooong verse, he simply cant do it, i doublt anyone could.

F*ck Fear Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'd like to see a boot of this song from the Canadian leg of the tour. When they played it in Hamilton, it sounded great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostie Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Before I heard prostitute, I thought this was gonna be the album's closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I was at this show. The scream at the end was phenomenal. It's the centerpiece of Chinese Democracy and should be played every night, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_And_Roll_Over Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'd LOVE to hear it in the set, but for a last song it would be kind of a downer. Ya know, it would leave me feeling kind of sad, and that's not how you wanna feel at the end of a concert!Something non-CD would probably be better for the end of the concert, it would be better to leave everyone pumped.

However, they won't know it's the closer until it is too late right? As long as there's no introduction, "And here's our last song tonight!"

Lose Your Illusions Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) TWAT is great but PC is the closer. PC is a better song, and i'm sorry but u can't end the concert on a ballad.Its like some say November Rain is better than PC but c'mon u can't have NR end out a adrenaline filled rock concert.not sayin those songs don't have adrenaline.

wasted Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 they could play it to finish the set, then come back to do encores finsihing with PC. But works well how they do it now as part of that Bond medley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
