Which remaining Chinese track do you most want to hear live (W- Slash N Duff)

[Jakey Styley]

Holy shit Axl would sound bad on these today

[colonizedmind]

RIAD really not loved....I wonder if it had been played more over the years if it would of built up more of a following. Shame that lawsuit stopped it being played in 2009/10 when his voice would of killed it!

[t-p-d-a]

"Oh My God" because for me it's a very very good Song

[jacdaniel]

I barely even know those 5 songs... They are so bad I only listened once or twice when the album first came out and never again. So hopefully none. 

Quite glad they've cut down on CD stuff a lot this leg. 

[Cosmo]

IRS and If The World but not with Axl sounding this bad. There are amazing songs and deserve a good performance.

[kever20]

IRS has always been one of my least favorite songs, though the demos were vastly superior to the release.

Shackler's was great seeing live years ago, which was my vote. ITW would be great, too, musically. 

If Axl could muster baritone for the whole song, and not sound like a lounge singer, then those could work.

[Free Bird]

[colonizedmind]

Thought people may be interested. Here's the last time these were all performed live in concert or as close as....most have been off the menu since 2010....interesting, Axl must not like them as much.

IRS (Barcelona)

If The World (Lima)

SHACKLER'S (2014)

SCRAPED (2010)

 

RIAD (2002)

Actually think If The World and Shackler's could work with baritone and Melissa doing the highs on ITW and Shackler's to support. She loved remixing ITW....I don't think we'll go the next 10 years without hearing them attempt at least one of those....Axl won't try singing it until on stage in front of 50,000 anyways, so at least once, before he goes NOPE.

The fact we moaned about his voice in 2014 and now looking back and hearing that voice… damn. What we would do to have it back now! 

[Blackstar]

That Street Of Dreams from Glasgow this year wasn't bad vocally, especially the verses in the beginning.

[AxlRoseCDII]

Shacklers

Would you take out the intro though? Straight into the riff....quick rocker....the set can always be enhanced with more rockers IMO!

I like live intro with the drums first. 

[Arnuld]

IRS. But I don’t think Axl could do this song live anymore.

Not unless he adapts it a bit....he's starting (very) slowly to change up songs and ways of singing them, finally! He could unlock a lot of songs if he changes his attack....

Ya...an actual Frank moment to shine....isn't that how it was on Rock Band or something?

Ya....one of the better if not best SOD reunion era. A couple of years off, new current voice material to sing and a change to different octaves and attack and Axl can have another 10 years....does he want that? There seems to be a slow admittance of needing to alter a bit, starting with choices on this tour....it will be interesting! Frontman charisma wise, with getting in shape, talking and joking more...love the extra running and even the high kicks have made a return....that he's brought back an extra 5/10% which has helped a lot!

I don’t know. I have this version on my iPod to hear when I’m training 

 

[janrichmond]

I chose Riad because I think it was more tolerable than most, tbh I only remember the start of it. The rest of the songs were really forgettable to me 

@colonizedmind why didn't you have a 'none' option?

[Ninjapie24]

I love IRS, but honestly feel like If the World already sounded like Slash’s playing and that would fit him the most

To be fair ....pretty much nailed it here, intense song!!...the scream was a bit longer and better night one, though that seems to have disappeared off YT! 

 

Fucking hell was 2010 magic

[Appetitefordiscussion]

IRS and Chinese mostly. I love CD but there is so much shit going on in that final recording 

Catcher would sound cool too 

[Sweersa]

I heard Shackler’s live in 2011 and 2012 and it was fucking amazing. Axl’s vocals were killer. I prefer the live version to studio for that reason. He gave it all. Richard Fortus would have to handle most of the guitar work on this song, if they play it anytime soon.
