wasted Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 as one of the highlights of CD, featured in a movie, obvious single shouldn't this be played more often. Along with Shackler's this could brighten up the set some. Is there a reason they aren't played? (apart from them being shit, toolbox) When I saw them live they didn't really struggle to play them. In fact, Shackler's was like off the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubbaBubba Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 They should mix it up a bit more and it'd be great to see both back in rotation. Unfortunately I don't think there is a good reason. Just as long as it's not the worst reason of all - they don't care enough to bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 It's just the song that pops the most on CD, maybe the vocal is too high to do live. But when you see it live it sweeps across the stage with assurance. And Shackler's recieves a great reception, if that was played after Chi dem live it would be awesome.

highvoltage Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 This was one of the first tracks to really capture my attention on CD and it's one I still spin occasionally. I actually think it's one that Axl could still work if it was performed regularly. It's got a lot of those long, high screams that he can still pull off.Anyway, I always really enjoyed this performance from 2009... the second time they'd ever played it (it was only the third show since CD's release). I remember how exciting it was to hear Axl putting so much into the new songs for the audiences this leg. People talk a lot about 2010, but those first shows of the tour in December were awesome because they were the first glimpses of that era where his vocals were really strong and really raspy. It was an awesome time to be a fan. Compare it to this one from Canada a month later where his voice had already changed... I think it was better on the Asian leg where it was sung (a tiny bit) cleaner. I'm not suggesting Axl could still pull something better (or even close) to that anymore, but if it were a regular in the set, I think he could make it work. He didn't sound too bad at the Quebec show to be honest... go listen to Nightrain.EDIT: Sure it's a cheesy song, but it works live. Kind of like TIL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I love If the World. They should start playing it more often. Maybe it'll get dusted off during one of the next 3 or 4 legs of the Chinese Democracy World Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I kinda thought If the World was Axls Jimmy Page moment, I liked it. Probably easier for him to perform than some of the older stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
