ITW 2012 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Anybody else think it's high time that If The World gets put back in the set? Why did they drop this song and continue playing snoozers like Sorry and This I Love every night? It makes no sense to me. If The World is one of the cornerstone songs on CD, along with Better, TWAT and Prostitute, and unlike those other 3, Axl and the band completely kick ass on it live.

WhazUp Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I hope so, I wouldn't mind if it replaced Live and Let Die personally...I really like the lyrics Axl added in the Tokyo 09 performance "If there's a cure for this, I don't want it..." What song are those lyrics originally from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Apparently it is from a Tupac song that sampled a Dianna Ross song. I'm guessing Axl got it from the Pac song, but you never know. If The World is the only CD song that they've ever really jammed on as a whole band. It makes no sense that they would drop it.

D.. Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's the worst song on CD (that and Riad) and Axl knows it, but it's kind of funny live... but kind of useless too, I don't see the point of wasting energy on a song like that.I'd be more than happy if Axl traded Live and Let Die and Knockin on heaven's door for TWAT or Prostitute. I really couldn't care less about GNR covers (except Sailing), and bad bond songs.It's just about having good taste in music, if you have good taste in music, you want TWAT and Prostitute, it's as simple. (I know I'm being an asshole but I had to say it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) I guess you don't listen to rap music? ITW is GNR doing Thug Life. Edited October 21, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 they could play it after the Fortus solo. it's great live axl does a more rock vocal on it. it really sounds great all the effects at the beginning, pumping beat and awesome solo.

wasted Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 they seem to be honing set for US crowds who just want to hear AcDc covers. Sorry, ITW and Shacklers all pretty great live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) If The World is one of my faves from ChiDem, his voice is killer and the groove is infectious. The solo ain't bad either I don't get what's not to like? Scraped and Riad are by far the worst for me and the only ones I don't like.

ITW 2012 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) If The World is right in Axl's wheelhouse. It should be remixed with this and released as a single immediately. However, it needs Axl and Phil on the chorus:AxIf the world would end today And all the dreams we had Would all just drift away PhilAnd I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord Edited October 21, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birk Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I'd rather have TWAT. One of maybe four songs off CD I liked. ITW sounds like a scrap from a Justin Timberlake album that was donated to Axl.TWAT and Prositute are the best 2 songs on CD imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 ITW is probably my last favorite album song (Though I still really dig it), but it fucking kills live. I was blown away how much I enjoyed it in Hamilton. Same goes for Maddy, both are absolutely live songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I would like to see thensong make a comeback, especially since Axls live vocals right now are close to the way it sounds on the record. They fucking killed it in Hamilton in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I thought it was great live. Shacklers was too. With Shacklers it feel like they aren't playing YCBM from UYI. Peopled played it on Rock band they might even expect to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 The great thing about ITW is that it doesn't have the 5 vocal tracks or whatever some of the other new songs have. It's a pornorganic rap tune for a QT style Jackie Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It's like Sorry in that it has a clear vocal and simple understandable lyrics.Did Axl say that Bucket really understood the blaxploitation quality he wanted on it? or am I making that up.for me it's a straight swap with Live and let die.
