Black Sabbath Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 "Young at heart, even though I'm forty-eight. And I'm much too old to let love break my heart."That's all Axl needs to change to sing the song nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm much too old to let love break my heart."That's all Axl needs to change to sing the song nowadays.Oh everyone get over that line there's plenty of songs that have them kinda lyrics in them.The problem is that Slash provided an awesome guitar solo that made Axl happy with a song he had been stuggling with for some time.He has said he would always be grateful to slash for that guitar work/solo, so I'm guessing playing it will remind him too much of all that and as he HATES slash it won't be an easy thing for him to do.LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saulhudson88 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) Hope the won't play the song.Because I can only imagine Slash playing that song and tearing those solo's up. It would just be wrong to see ashba or bumblefoot playing those solo's... Edited April 8, 2010 by saulhudson88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Slash not even liking to play the song maybe the solos will have an added spark! ;-)LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom1447 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 There are many reasons while axl wouldnt play it:.He was really thankful of slash doing the solo's, and as much as he hates him i think he still respects him musically..Estranged is a very emotional song.Estranged was always Axl's song (even over NR).It reminds him of Stephanie and also Dylan.

WhazUp Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 It would be cool to hear nu-GNR do Estranged.Pitman would create some really cool ambient noises that would mesh well with the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parisrocks Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Coz it sounds silly singing "Old at heart, but I'm only forty-eight."Funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARCAT Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Why does Axl not want to play that song anyway?Because it is the musical equivalent of Axl and Slash making sweet manlove together and producing John Lennon as a child from their holy union.nice analogy but, its more like rape considering one did not like to play it?SCORE ONE FOR GUNS GUY And by the way slash is not in axl's ass anymore since he became a carcinogen-who wants cancer up their ass?LOL SLASH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless he stuck through it and did a mighty fine job expanding and extracting amazing melodies only he could have heard through Axl's groundwork.

WARCAT Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 It was written about Erin, the video depicted it being about Stephanie, Don't cry was not written about Stephanie either although she appeared in the video. And N.R. was composed when AFD was released but was considered "not right" for the Album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGS Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 but back in the chats axl had, he mentioned he wanted to play estranged so i wonder why he doesnt wanna play it nowyep, hope the guys pick it up this time xDQ: -I'm glad you dusted off Don't Cry in 2007. Anything else (aside Perfect Crime which was on the setlist) that may be brought back from the dead in the future?A: I’d like to do Estranged at some point but there’s no plans. I know the guys pick a couple every so often on their own to get down but I don’t know what those are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will ALWAYS have your illusions version of Estranged and your God Slash playing on it. AND, if you don't want to hear anybody else play the song, you really don't have to listen!!! Thankfully, you can get your wish both ways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the video later when he was with Stephanie, no?Im not sure. The finished estranged, with the video was about Stephanie (The original was probably about Erin). In the making of videos, he was on about it was just after the breakup.He was also on about Dylan (Stephanies son) was in the video, and he saw him as his own son. This made it worse for him.I think Estranged just brings back too many memories for Axl.Saying that, its more likely to be played on this tour than the last two.

Graveyard Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I say play it if Axl is up for it vocally. Bumblefoot can play the leads, he's played teasers earlier on in the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's doing a good job on If The World I'm sure he could handle it just as well as he could in the late 90s. Maybe better now. But its a matter of whether or not he wants to go there.
