So I think this band could rock the shit out of Breakdown live

[auad]

one of the best songs, for sure. always deserves much more attention and dedication from the band

[Eu4ic]

Never really cared for Breakdown. Locomotive I'd like. I doubt they'll play either one, and I dont blame them. They need to learn how to pull off IRS and Catcher properly before anything, imo.

[Kill Devil Hill]

breakdown? Wtf?

Have they EVER played that sing live? And it has to be the GNR song that I have listened to least. I always skip over Shotgun Blues and Breakdown.

I posted a live version on page one of this thread.

I know Axl never liked to play it live, but it's my 2nd favorite GNR song of all time (behind Estranged)..Anyone agree that they could kill it live? I know it's not gonna happen, but it would be AMAZING!

I'd LOVE to hear Breakdown again.

Wow, Breakdown is an awesome song, dude! I always skip Shotgun Blues tho...

They have MANY songs to play prior to Breakdown

CIVIL WAR

YESTERDAYS

TWAT

CATCHER

PRETTY TIED UP

LOCOMOTIVE

THINK ABOUT YOU

PROSTITUTE

ITW

They's played Catcher, prostitute and twat at some point since 2006, haven't they?

But, no Civil War and that's a shame because this band with Axl in current form, would just kill it.

I'm with you guys on shotgun blues. Always a skipper, same for get in the ring.

[Kill Devil Hill]

Get in the Ring could've been such a cool song. I love the guitar in the beginning. Shame the song took the turn it did. Whoever suggested that rant to Axl oughta be shot.

Axl could still sing it keeping Mick Wall and including new names like Azoff but then, that would turn into another vicious cycle.....

Shotgun > Breakdown.

I like Shotgun Blues, too, but whoa. O_o Or do you mean in terms of live feasibility?

It's my favorite as well. So as my screen name says...

[watchman]

My fav GN'R song ever.

Bring it on.

Breakdown is AWESOME and I would love to hear it from this band.

[bluefelix]

Shotgun Blues is actually a pretty cool, quick simple song with fun lyrics. It's also an Axl song so they should play it. Just prepare the oxygen tank.

Shotgun > Breakdown.

Wow. Really?

[mkpnt]

I so agree, they would rip that shit up!! One of my top 5 favorites of all time...estranged will more then do for now, but still fuckin hoping

[Nosaj Thing]

Breakdown and Locomotive!

I'm with you. Locomotive should be played! I would like to hear their version of that masterpiece.

[Flayer]

Like I said before though, their live show already has a ton of slower paced songs ... Maddy, Estranged, November Rain, Sorry, Patience, Don't Cry, and KOHD. Would rather see them add some faster ones first.

I mean Shotgun is a more enjoyable song for me. That said, my likings tend to change from time to time. But Breakdown is a mess to me. There are some good solos but other than that, I don't find it appealing.

Yeah, when I first started listening to it, I thought it was a Southern mess, but my opinion changed after a lot of listens for some reason. I think the rhythm can throw people off, and it has a lot going on.

Shotgun Blues is underrated.
