Dr. Who Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Consider the live versions of "Used to Love Her", IMO they sound better than the studio, with the guitar interplay between Slash and Izzy: or the slow electric version of You're Crazy played live: Should Lies have perhaps have been a mix of electric and acoustic, similar to the way One in a Million turned out?The mix of the groovy yet sludgy electric guitar and acoustic gives the songs a grungy sort of feel.

Popular Post Satanisk_Slakt Posted December 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2014 Nah, the four songs are perfect the way they were. They should have put a few more acoustic songs on it though and ditched Live Like a Suicide. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseIRS Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Perfect as is. Would of liked to hear a full album in that style. Couldve been GNRs version of Beggars Banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_france Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 no Lies is very good like it is... no need full electric for the songs. They show a refreshing part of Gnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 No. It is great the way it was released. I wouldn't change a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 No. Don't electrify it, don't re-record-it, don't remix it, don't remaster it, and please, please, please, don't Ashba-ize Patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The charm of the album is that it is acoustic, I dig the laid back vibe of the second half of Lies. Plus I think that the version of You're Crazy is one of their best tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Broue Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Should Lies have perhaps have been a mix of electric and acoustic, similar to the way One in a Million turned out?Yes it shouldAcoustic versions are cool and all, but this would be the right decision, imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Should have popped another 4 acoustic songs on there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Sounds electric to me. Is it Patience Steven isn't drumming on? I remember Slash playing with a snake in the video and Steven holding his sticks. Didn't they record more but they ended up on that acoustic bootleg cd? Or was that for MTV?

WFA Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Lies is shit they should have re-released Live Like A Suicide, and then done Patience b/w Used To Love Her as a single. Slap One In a Million on the back of the 12" single if you must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bran Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 they should have did 4 or 5 more songs in the same style as the others. mostly acoustic with some electric touches if it served the songs. they should have gotten rid of the "live like a suicide" which was just filler and served 0 purpose on being on the album. gnr lies IMO would have been the best gnr album if they would have added 4 or so more original songs.

WFA Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 WFA not liking You're Crazy is truly an epic forum memeI love the real version of You're crazy, as seen on AFD. The lies version is boring and sucks.they should have did 4 or 5 more songs in the same style as the others. mostly acoustic with some electric touches if it served the songs. they should have gotten rid of the "live like a suicide" which was just filler and served 0 purpose on being on the album. gnr lies IMO would have been the best gnr album if they would have added 4 or so more original songs.I feel the exact opposite. I wish they not only did a rerelease of LLAS but tacked on Shadow Of Your Love from the self titled EP, and then added some of the other stuff like Jumping Jack Flash and Heartbreak Hotel. I don't see how anyone would see LLAS as filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
