I was about to say TWAT and Prostitute but with Axl's current state of vocals, I don't wish anything. Just wanna keep my good imagination of those songs.

My first ever concert was SMKC and they played Rocket Queen that night with a 25 minute jam (yes, seriously!) in the middle of it. Give me the current Guns version over that any day! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Gilby Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Think About You and Anything Goes from Appetite. Mama Kin, Move To The City and Used To Love Her from Lies. You Ain't The First, Bad Obsession and Back Off Bitch from Illusion 1. I'd love to hear them play Shotgun Blues and So Fine (with Axl) from Illusion 2. I'd love to hear anything from Spaghetti live. But I'd pick Since I Don't Have You, Down On The Farm, Ain't It Fun, Buick McKane (Big Dumb Sex), or Hair Of The Dog. Shackler's Revenge and If The World from Chinese. Oh and even if they just teased the start of Cornshucker that'd be brilliant 😁. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clip from the 2020 soundcheck wasn't as bad as expected, just boost Duff and Melissa's vocals a bit and the chorus would be fine.

Give me the current Guns version over that any day! 😂 I thought the 9 minute one was pushing it 🤣🤣. I love Slash, but he does like to go off on one. One of my favourite Slash incidents is the one when he’s doing just that with Michael Jackson and he tries to stop him then calls security. Slash just boots them away and carries on Bloody marvellous. And that was only 90 seconds Edited April 22, 2023 by Oxford 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy was a really cool songwriter. Strong lyric with a great feel - it’s quite unlike a lot of their other stuff. Another showcase for slash’ talkbox too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justynius Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Get in the Ring and Back Off Bitch. I believe their reason for not playing these in the old days was because it would get the crowd too worked up. Now that most of the fans are late 30's and older, I don't think they have as much to worry about. Out Ta Get Me is always a great performance and these would have the same kind of energy. I'd also like them to let Dizzy play Crestfallen like they used to have Tommy play Motivation. That song is fucking epic and should work well live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful They weren’t played because Get In The Ring is just a throwaway joke song, and Back Off Bitch is a juvenile rant from the Hollywood Rose days that none of them really rated or wanted to play after 1987. Both just UYI filler tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Bad Obsession is the most prominent song thats good in its own right, unique in its bluesiness, and completely doable by Axl in 2023 yet they haven't performed it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think Dizzy deserves to be a bit more than 'just' one of the back line, if only for his commitment and longevity. Since the return of Slash and Duff he's (figuratively) disappeared behind Fortus – even Melissa and Frank in some cases. Giving him a solo spot would be pretty neat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Pretty Tied Up would be cool, watching the UYI Ritz Bluray I forgot how much of a glow-up it gets live compared to the studio version. And I think Axl could vocally take it on because a decent chunk of it is the lower register 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRmello77 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Like most of you I want to hear Pretty tied up and Bad obsession, but also Think about You and Anything goes just for the sake of having whole appetite seen live!

Gunner Gilby Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I agree Dizzy deserves a solo spot. He's paid his dues. This Don't Look Like Vegas from his solo album has a very GN'R feel and would work great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
