BaDoBsEsSiOn418 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 the drum intro in ottawa got me wet. it should have been on the album. so much better.This is common with most of the songs performed live, like Street of Dreams and This I Love. The drums play such a bigger role live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely had a lot of energy and I'm sure it was f'n cool to hear live-- but this was fucking awful. Embarrassing, Axl, can you tone it down a little bit? Is there a casual voice in that repertoire? It's either Mickey Mouse or a choking fucking bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick83 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 That was fantastic.Scraped should be on the set list at every show. I don't understand why it's not. It is such a bad ass song, showing off what Axl does best. This is one of the best ways to get people into CD. After hearing this song live, they will want to know what album it's on, and get it.

Stro Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's not played at every show because Axl looks like he's about to die during every performance of it. And kills his voice for the next song or two. Probably the same reason Rhiad hasn't been performed for about 8 years. It was brutal on him 8 years ago with less age, weight, and smokes/booze. If there is one CD song that needs to be done more, it is Prostitute, though he struggled with that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 If there is one CD song that needs to be done more, it is ProstitutePlease god no. One performance of that song was more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One performance of that song was more than enough.lol true.As much as I love the song, that performance was...a huge trainwreck...On the other hand, the first performances of This I Love were really bad too and now the song sounds incredible...

Longpig Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 That was awesome!Parts of it were, but that's too much for anyone to sing on their own, which is why he is trying to sing the "lower" parts with the rasp because it's too hard to jump to and from that so often.I mean fair play to him for an amazing effort, but I guess it could work out better if the band sing the "lower" bits and then Axl just flaw the crowd with the crazy parts.Could even be a duo with Sespastian bach or one of the support bands' singers or a special guest.It's an awesome song but could be good if they reworked it rather than Axl killing himself singing a duet on his own!

Scumcat Esq. Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's not played at every show because Axl looks like he's about to die during every performance of it. I thought I was about to die when I heard the drum intro. Axl looked like he was giving it all he's got during the song. But that's what this song is about.

evergreen_layne Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 2 reasons they don't play more from CD:The crowd diesAxl can't sing em!He was quoting as saying these songs "have to work live" in that Rolling Stone interview from 2000. They don't. That register and all the backing vocals on Scraped, Riad, Prostitute, middle part of Better (which sounds a lot better live when he sings it in the lower register), and Catcher are pro-tooled beyond human ability. I like Better. I thought it could be a hit single and a song to build the album around as their defining guitarist wrote their defining song and they could promote the hell out of Robin at the same time ya know? I just don't understand what Axl has against promotion. That band with Robin and Brain coulda been big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkarmy Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 As someone who saw FIVE shows on the canadian tour and bootlegged 4 of the shows... YOU TUBE CLIPS DO NOT CAPTURE THE ACTUAL EVENT. PERIOD!! unless you are at the show don't overly judge because you getting video off shitty phones in a way too loud enviroment. Axl sounds and looks great to me!
