It Tastes Good...

[DurhamGirl]

I have just come across GnR singing It Tastes Good and really like it the more I hear it.  Does anyone know if they only sang this the once and if so why and which concert and time period was it performed?

Four times in 1988 opening for Iron Maiden and Aerosmith, five times in 1991 and three times in 1992 both during Rocket Queen.

I really like the '88 version but maybe it doesn't work with Rock and Rap in the 80s

But thanks God we have ABSUЯD now. It will be a hit someday

1988 was the only time they ever performed it in full, and with the original instumental, though. The 90s RQ raps just seem like a bit of a for fun kind of thing

There used to be a bootleg 7" going around in the 90s with a track on it called Guns n Rappers. I never heard it but guess it was a live recording of Tastes Good.

I think I may have the bootleg of that song, “Tastes good..” it’s on a tape I’ve had since ‘89. I Wish I had the hardware to download it to a CD or my computer to share.

Is the only known audio of the full song, just that one performance that is of not-the-greatest quality included with video of the performance?  I never knew of any other versions beyond the '90s rap inclusions with RQ
