GNR 1991 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 My favorite GN'R song Estranged hasn't been played since the new band(from 2002 - ) came in. Why is the reason? Can he not sing it anymore? BTW, does he still sing Civil War?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.drummin Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 No one really knows why. But it's not worth getting worked up over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Manson Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 It wasn't a very good live song. It was too long, it had no hook for the audience to sing along to, and it was just dull. It was an atmosphere killer to say the least...Reminds me of TWAT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 because he's not 28?Hahahaha!I'm personally glad it's been dropped. I would like them to play it once to see how they do, and how much Finck rapes Slash's solo, but other than that I don't want it on the set. I think Ron and Fortus could do cool things with it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I saw them do it live in '91...it was amazing!I'd love to see GnR '06 play it live,I think they'd do a most interesting version!....great song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR=Greatness Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Estranged has some fantastic guitar work.That's why Axl thanked Slash in the booklet for the "killer guitar melodies" A little off topic, but I think the best part of the video for that song is when Slash is doing the guitar solo as he's raising out of the water, that's kickass. rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldwideboss Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Ron pulls the outro of November Rain out beautifully, so he could do the same with Estranged. But it is way too long and has no chorus, so the crowd can't get that much into it. Dust N' Bones when/if Izzy is a guest and Double Talkin' Jive or Perfect Crime would be better songs to play... Or even change the opener to Right Next Door To Hell, which would kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nollsiesays Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 In the video for the making of Estranged, the band talks about how difficult it is to play live. I am not sure where I read this and it may not be correct, but I believe that the new band is not up to playing it.Totally agree. The song is so long with so many parts to it, playing it live must be a real task. These new guys can practice songs all they want, but unfortunately they won't be able to play them as well as the original members because they weren't involved in the creation of the songs. They weren't there for the making of the song, the redoing, the rewriting, and all the stresses that deal with making a song. I'm not saying the new guys are inferior muscians, but it takes a lot to learn a song, especially one you didn't compose and one as complex as Estranged, i just think they don't really want to mess up playing it.I def wouldn't mind hearing it again though!

Markus89 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Go ask Axl instead of all the people that don't know anyway.How was he supposed to know we did'nt know ? We have a pretty great theory of why they don't play Don't Cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
