gunsfanoldie Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 So there has been a longstanding argument between my friend and I about what Axl is truly saying on one of these songs. On GNR's Live Era, Disc 1, between "Mr. Brownstone" and "It's So Easy," Axl tells the crowd to move back away from the stage and after that he says something that I could never definitely decipher right before they launch into "It's So Easy."I think that Axl says "Hit It", trying to tell the band his announcement is done and the band should start playing. However, my friend thinks that Axl is saying "Idiot", possibly to a certain audience member or to the crowd in general for being so rowdy close to the tage.Either way, here is the link to "It's So Easy" from the Live Era CD and hopefully someone can tell me for sure what he says (he should say it within the first 2 seconds of this video): And here's the link to the original thread from HereTodayGoneToHell from 5 years ago:http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=56374.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubbaBubba Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 He says 'thank-you. Hit it...' And it sounds pretty cool, and was a nice link between 'live' songs on the album. Most retarded thread we've had in a while. Congrats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 For awhile I always thought he was saying "Get in" to the crowd because right before he is talking about people taking a step make and making room and stuff, but then I realized that was wrong. He definitely says "Hit it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Love it when Axl insists for the audience to take a step back, and then you clearly hear this wasted dude from the audience saying "Weeeee did alreeaaady" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
