SoulMonster Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This is one of my favourites from UYI and a great Izzy song and a great demonstration of what could be done when he brought in a tune which was then embellished by Slash' lead guitar and Axl's vocal melodies. The song was actually written during the first pre-production sessions for AFD, like You Could Be Mine, in 1986 and they even played it live twice in that year. Besides two small snippets of a recording from the concert on October 31, 1986, I have never heard a recording of whole song played in 1986, anyone has it? Or anyone here heard it live in 1986?

Towelie Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Wow, I had no idea the song dated back that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salx Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Cool, do you know where we can listen to the snippets? I wonder if there are pre-production recordings, it'd be cool to hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssiscool Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Alot of the illusions were written around 86 or 87. Not all of it though, but quite a bit was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seely Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Indeed. Don't Cry was on of their very first songs..November Rain Axl had been tinkering with for years (and by accounts wanted to have it on 'Appetite'), and You Could Be Mine was written just before Appetite was done..amongst others(On the Tokyo DVDs Axl says 'Bad Obsession' was written even before Mr. Brownstone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellobeatle Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) I believe SoulMonster has it on his website. You may have to sign up but it's worth it as it's a wealth of GNR info. Just go to the song database section on the right and select Perfect Crime. Links are in the comments section of the song.http://www.a-4-d.comAlot of the illusions were written around 86 or 87. Not all of it though, but quite a bit was.It is wrong too say that ALOT was written around 86/87'..Certainly is considering "alot" is not a word.
