volcano62 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It is what it is. Changing the lyrics now would just neuter it. No point. In fact, it would only draw attention to the fact that Axl caved in to societal pressure and the whole PC movement that has completely pussified America.I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with shit. I'm not condoning a song that says n i gg az and fa g ots and I'm not saying it's bullshit either. All I'm saying is, it's how Axl felt around 1987-88 and it should always reflect that and never be censored cause some asshole is butthurt about it.On topic, here are a few other songs that will never ever be performed live again by W. Axl Rose:Anything GoesReckless LifeMove To The CityRight Next Door To HellPerfect CrimeYou Ain't The FirstBad ObsessionBack Off BitchDouble Talkin' JiveThe GardenGarden of EdenBad ApplesDead HorseComaYesterdaysBreakdownPretty Tied UpLocoMotiveSo FineDon't Cry (alt lyrics)Oh My GodSilkwormsRiad N' The BedoinsProstituteYesterdays and OMG have a great chance of being played eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) 'Don't Damm Me' and 'Garden of Eden' are, I think (correct me if I am wrong), the only two GN'R originals which were never performed live, although there is a rehearsal/soundcheck bootleg of the band jamming on 'Don't Damm Me'. 'Bad Apples' was only performed once, at Rio 2 (2nd night). 'Locomotive', 'Coma' and 'Breakdown' were only performed 1-3 times each. It is a pity that the band chose to release the third Tokyo 1992 performance officially as the first night had - indeed, opened with - 'Coma' while and the second night contained 'Locomotive'. GN'R chose by far the dullest setlist from the three! It is also a pity Jeff Beck's hearing played-up at the Paris PPV as he was due to play 'Locomotive'; this would have also provided us with a proshot version (although we do have some footage of them rehearsing it at soundcheck which MTV screened). Yes, we do lack a good soundboard/proshot recording of Locomotive - my best version is merely a crowd recording from the above mentioned Tokyo show.

jmapelian Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lyrics are greatOMG we agree......lolwhat a shame that this great music got ruined by those idiotic lyricsgreat job axl I couldn't agree more.Great melody, great guitar work, love the electric guitar that comes in, the solo, how the tension builds, just perfect. Exactly, it's a good song with stupid lyrics. You have to put it in context. Are NWA albums "racist" because they refer to white people a crackers? Wu-tang (and many other rap albums) used to use the word f@ggot all the time. Exactly this.And doesn't axl where a NWA baseball cap in a video? If not, I've definitely seen him where one live. PC's run amuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
