anchel2 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 In your book, there's a setlist (opening for cheap trick) featuring "Perfect Crime". How this early version sounded? Do you have any recording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Excellent question!Kind of along those lines, we know "You Could Be Mine" was written (or at least partially) at least around the time of Appetite cause some of the lyrics were in the liner notes of AFD.Was YCBM ever played live before the UYI tour? It's interesting to me that a demo of that song never leaked to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recklessroad Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It pretty much sounds the same as the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Was YCBM ever played live before the UYI tour? It's interesting to me that a demo of that song never leaked to the public.No, YCBM was played for the first time on January 20, 1991 (Rock In Rio II).Slash: It was incredible; we played two nights in a row to 180,000 fans in Maracanã Stadium. [...] It was something else; I'm not sure that I've ever seen a more insane Guns N' Roses crowd - and that is saying something. When we kicked into the bridge of "Paradise City," people swan-dived from the upper tier of the stadium - seemingly to their death [slash's autobiography, p 325].Duff: Maracaña Stadium: 175,000 people and a river of sewage streaming right through the place. An actual river. Of shit. People chanting, "Guns N' Roses, Guns N' Roses!" The audience cried and sang along to every word as we launched into our set. 'Fucking hell, there are a lot of people up here onstage.' We had a two new keyboard players, backup singers, and horn players. The sides of the stage swarmed with crew and management and who knows who else. 'Where my boys at?' I turned and looked toward the drum riser. Steven wasn't there [Duff's autobiography, "It's So Easy", 2011, p. 176]It is now the 10th most played song having been played at least 463 times.

DieselDaisy Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I really could do without the, 't minus and counting', crap on the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
