Original GNR Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 What songs from Slash's back catalogue (GnR, Snakepit, VR, first solo record etc) would you like him and the guys to play which they haven't done live yet?Top of my list is Don't Cry. I think it's exactly the type of Axl vocal that Myles could pull off. Other songs:You Could Be MineYesterdaysKnockin' On Heaven's DoorBig Machine (don't think they've played this)HeadspaceShineNeither Can II've picked the songs that I think Myles can pull off.

Revolver Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I don't feel Myles would be right for songs like 'You Could Be Mine' or 'Big Machine' =/but Don't Cry would certainly be nice to hear, 'Neither Can I' also, agree on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuddMckagan Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Don't Cry and You Could Be Mine in terms of Guns songs. I think Myles could rock those ones.Serial Killer, Neither Can I, Back To The Moment and Back And Forth Again for Snakepit songs.Big Machine, Gravedancer, Illegal I Song, Headspace for VR songs, and they should bring back Do It For The Kids.

mors Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Slash doesn't seem to like playing anything from the illusion records, probably down to the fact he thought they were a joke and nothing like a guns record, whereas he loves afd.I too would like to see them do some illusion tracks but its not very likely at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sr_chanfere Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 i believe that maybe there are some issues due to the rights of the illusions songs. axl bought the name guns n roses, when the illusions were to be released, i believe he said that if it wasn´t that way, the albums wouldn´t come out. so i believe that due to that reason, slash doesn´t play them. civil war is an excepyion, because it was released before that. of course he could play the covers kohd or lald, but i guess is a mix of both, the rights of the songs, and the reasons you mentioned.

Axl owns the rights to the name but I'm quite sure the right to the songs are shared by all of the original members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Something obscure from the Illusions - like Right Next Door to Hell or Perfect Crime.Serial Killer would also be coolIve always wanted to hear Slash do an extended Double Talkin Jive again, but I guess Anastasia now touches that base.LA Edited June 18, 2012 by LA_0013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to get rid of songs like Communication Breakdown, what a nothing song.I want to hear Shots Fired and welcome to the jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 They need to get rid of songs like Communication Breakdown, what a nothing song.NOT until I get to hear them do it. They left it out last time they came here, and they do it really well. Besides, can't go wrong with Zeppelin, I take that over any GNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmapelian Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Personally I think it would be great if they played Apocolyptic Love cover to cover than throw in some of the back catalogue and extend the set to about 2.5 hrs+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Signs Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I've been a fan of Myles since I saw The Mayfield Four open for Big Wreck in like 1998. This tune kicks ass and would fit in great with the set:Mayfield Four-Always Are you growing wearyAs you dance all aloneIn a room that's resonatingWith an old familiar song?Making you want the otherFor awhile there wasn't frictionAnd alone you were at easeBut now and then there's somethingThat makes you want to beBack in the arms but you can't take itAlways, always, seems to find youWhat you want you don't needCause she locks you downSo are you better off as one?This prince with little purposeThinks he'll find it in the wingsOf an angel or a princessBut surely not a queenCause that's about the only thingThat he knows for sureYeah, he's the king of contradictionsWho changes everydayOne minute he finds peace and loveThe next he finds disdainAnd it's way too complicatedThings will never changeAlways, always seems to find youWhat you want you don't needCause she locks you downSo are you better off as one?Always, always seems to find youWhat you want you don't need'Cause she locks you downSo are you better off?Always, seems like you alwaysSeems like you claim to have so much controlBut you're such a mess when you're all aloneDo you really wanna do it?Have you washed out all the stains?You seem crazy with temptationAnd very, very dazed and confusedWho's buying your throne?The stone inside you call a heart thawsJust enough to beatAnd familiar feelings cameAnd you surrendered to the needsOf another, not anotherAlways, always, seems to find youWhat you want you don't needCause she locks you downSo are you better off?Always, seems like you alwaysWhy do you claim to have so much controlAs you're such a mess when you're all alone?Always, seems like you alwaysSeems like you look for any kind of reasonTo justify a means to jump back inIn, in, in, in, in, in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellobeatle Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Well, if it's from UYI it'd prob only be something where Slash is listed as a main songwriter so I doubt Don't Cry would ever be played - that's as Axl & Izzy as it gets.. I would exclude YCBM and Yesterdays from that list too. I also think some Slash written songs would be left off because they are just TOO Axl-ish when it comes to the lyrics: Coma, Perfect Crime and Get In The Ring.I would think the possibilities, apart from what they've already played, are: Locomotive, Garden of Eden, Dust N Bones, Pretty Tied Up, DTJ and Bad Apples.I think all of Appetite (except for Anything Goes) is fair game. The only wrinkle in this theory is that they've played Patience, but that's always been considered more of an Izzy song than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he'd have a problem putting it on an album and releasing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
