I'd die & hopefully go to Heaven if I heard Dead Horse. And Bad Obsession as a close 2nd.

Me as well. Although we shouldn't really need to hope for any of this stuff. I could understand if there were a few songs he couldn't sing anymore from those albums, but he really should be playing more of this. You wanted to move on from Appetite and 2 of your 5 albums is Use Your Illusion. You should at least embrace it. Basically everyone else has since he's put out nothing else for us.

But yeah, Dead Horse would be an ultimate for me, even though I don't know how he sung it then I doubt he could now. Nearly every song should be moved back into the setlist, but I'd be happy with 5 of those 30 making their way in. Dead Horse, Bad Obsession. Back Off Bitch, Right Next Door To Hell, Breakdown, Bad Apples, Don't Damn Me.

Breakdown and Pretty Tied Up are two songs that Axl could easily pull off with his current voice, and they'd go down pretty well too. Dead Horse would be nice too.

Breakdown: no way. they did that song only 2 times live back in the day and Axl barely pulls it off the final screams...

Pretty Tied Up: would be cool, but i doubt it, because of the lyrics:

"Once there was this rock n' roll band rollin' on the streets

Time went by and it became a joke

We just needed more and more fulfilling- Uh-huh

Time went by and it all went up in smoke"

DTJ or bad obsession: no chance, it's not fitted the current setlist/band style

Don't Damn Me "speaks itself on the record", like Shotgun blues, lol

Anyway i hope Yesterdays, Dead Horse: they're got a strong chance to come back, imo

maybe we'll hear Dus n' bones someday again

Locomotive or Coma would be extremely cool, but they're too hard for Axl

back off bitch is one of my personal favs from the UYI's, but it's too much a filer now

Perfect Crime was on the setlists since 2006 so who knows...

Right Next Door To Hell is highly unlikely

Rest of the songs that we didn't mention yet are highly unlikely, imo

I don't see why you would think Yesterdays and Dead Horse would be possible. Dead Horse would DESTROY his voice, and its not worth him to sing if its gonna be held back. You have to go full force with that one or there's no reason to play it, and I don't think he could do justice at all to it in his current condition. That song is a killer on the vocals so I don't see how thats any different than Breakdown if you think that would be difficult.

Yesterdays could be possible, but I think the problem is its not a hit. Estranged was a fan favorite that people had wanted back in the set for years. But above all, it was known. It was played nearly every night of the Illusion tour and it had a video and it was one of their bigger songs. I guess there's the argument that its on Greatest Hits while Estranged is not, and it did have a video. I just don't think that song is known enough to be a big enough deal for them to add it. They seem to add songs they know people are familiar with and haven't been played forever. Civil War, Estranged, Don't Cry. Yesterdays is not in that category IMO, although I certainly think its one of the few he could sing.

IMO Perfect Crime would be like Dead Horse. Same reasons as above. Its a killer on the vocals, and if you can't totally commit, don't even try with it. I think those are two songs we'll never see performed again as they are so demanding. And if by some miracle we do, I think Axl will sound terrible on them. Those are like the definition of a young man's song. Axl wouldn't have been able to nail Perfect Crime in 06.

Yesterdays was a single too, pretty sure it was released at the tail end of the touring cycle but it was still top 20 at the very least. Yesterdays would go over great, same with a lot of the material as this band seems to suit playing the bigger more bombastic stuff. The garden would be interesting and he could definitely pull it off. I agree with a lot of the songs mentioned in others posts, Yesterdays, dust n bones, pretty tied up would be my preference though. I would just be happy to get a few more Illusions tracks thrown in from time to time, not necessarily songs that get played every night (lets not ruin them like the majority of the current setlist by playing them night after night in the same order).

I haven't given up on Axls voice, I think he could come back next year with a strong voice (not classic axl but 06 capability... maybe!), capable enough to justice to the current set list and handle a good portion of the Illusions material.

Also, nailing a song is all down to putting the time in and working on it. Not every song is going to be a walk in the park like "Used to love her" or whatever you have to put the work in... do the rehearsals! the attitude of "we'll see how it goes" only gets you so far. If perfect crime was introduced into the set it would only sound good if Axl actually worked with the rest of the band during rehearsal and figured a way of pacing himself and getting into fighting form because a song like that can't be done on a whim... at least not anymore.
