Here Today... Gone To Hell!

i was thinking about maybe someone could put together the best live versions of every song on AFD to one officall live fan favourite list or something..

so we start by nominate each song that we think should be on this list from 1986 to 2006, of course there must be good audio from the one you nominate, and you can't nominate a song just because it was played when you saw them in 88 and you thought that was great.. so from welcome to the jungle every song to rocket queen as the last. you can start nominate which ever you like

this would work kinda like "Neemo's survivor movie series" in "the jungle"

so if i would have start with an example and nominates "welcome to the jungle from rock am ring 2006"

if you don't know what songs there are on AFD, these are the ones you should nominate : ok:
1. Welcome to the Jungle
2.It's So Easy
3.Nightrain
4.Out Ta Get Me
5.Mr. Brownstone
6.Paradise Ciaty
7.My Michelle
8.Think About You
9.Sweet Child O'Mine
10.You're Crazy
11.Anything Goes
12.Rocket queen

whaddya guys think?

I like the Rocket Queen from Tokyo 1988 and My Michelle from RIR III.

Nightrain from Rock Am Ring.

SCOM from Roxy (I think that was 1986)

Ill think of more later.

01- Welcome to the Jungle (Rock In Rio II, First Night)
02- It's So Easy (Paris 06.06.92)
03- Nightrain (Pittsburgh 2002)
04- Out Ta Get Me (The Ritz 02.02.88)
05- Mr. Brownstone (Argentina 16-7-93)
06- Paradise City (KROQ Inland Invasion 2006)
07- My Michelle (Rock Am Ring Festival 2006)
08- Think About You (Download Festival 2006)
09- Sweet Child O'Mine (POPB 2006)
10- You're Crazy (07.11.86 Troubadour)
11- Anything Goes (01.18.86 The Roxy)
12- Rocket queen (Nakano Sunplaza 1988)

Jungle - VMA 88
It's So Easy - RIR3 01
Nightrain - Rock am Ring 06
Out Ta Get Me - Marquee n3 87
Mr. Brownstone - Ritz 88
Paradise City - Vegas 92
My Michelle - Ritz 88
Think About you - Donnington 06
Sweet Child O' Mine - RIR3 01
You're Crazy - Marquee n3 87
Anything Goes - Marquee n2 87
Rocket Queen - Vegas 01

I have to admit that your choices are better than mine

i really dont see how you can list anything from 01, especially the terrible its so easy from rock in rio 3.

however your other choices  : ok:

I did this awhile back....

1. Welcome To The Jungle (Rock Am Ring 2006)
2. It's So Easy (Boston 2002)
3. Nightrain (Rock Am Ring 2006)
4. Out Ta Get Me (Ritz '88)
5. Mr. Brownstone (Oklahoma '92)
6. Paradise City (Rock Am Ring 2006)
7. My Michelle [feat. Baz] (Rock Am Ring 2006)
8. Think About You (Boston 2002)
9. Sweet Child O' Mine (Oklahoma '92)
10. You're Crazy (London '87)
11. Anything Goes (London '87)
12. Rocket Queen (Tokyo '92)

I know alot of those are from the same shows, but for me, coincidentally most of those shows had strong versions of various songs.

I also did live cuts for GN'R Lies, and Use Your Illusion I & II.

I love It's So Easy from Rio 2001... I like he sings it and how he kicks the guy out... And I have never seen a really good performance live of Sweet Child O' Mine...

I like this idea and I've already done this probably 5 times over the years by myself.  It's always fun though searching for the best versions of songs, especially when you have like 500 different 'Mr. Brownstones' in your collection.  Too bad they all aren't soundboards though or this could take a year to properly do.

other than duffs fucked up bass intro, sweet child o mine paris 92 is amazing....i love the ending.

*********************

I have followed some these steps to do my compilation the best way I can:

01) Guns n' Roses live versions only (that means no recordings after September 31, 1991)  :yes:
02) No fake Guns n' Roses live versions are allowed (i.e. no "Live like a Suicide" and no "Live Era 87-93")  :no:
03) No "Guns n' Roses II" versions are allowed (no "Guns n' Roses revisited", no "Axl' Roses")  :rofl:
04) No more than 3 tracks recorded on the same show/date/location (if possible)  : ok:
05) No repetition of the exact album tracklist (that would be boring)  ;)
06) Cool non-album tracks from Appetite Era gigs are allowed  (lots of them!)  : ok:
07) Only top sound quality tracks are allowed (Audience "A" quality, Broadcasts and Soundboards)  :yes:
08) I am not good enough to make a 12 song list so I did a double CD  :hihi:
09) No Anything Goes (I don't know any top quality live recording of the song. If you know any, PLEASE let me know!)

and last but not least...

10) Guns n' Roses is the best band in the world and played dozens of magnificent shows, so this is a provisory list (if anyone asks me to do this again tomorrow it will be different!)   ;D

looks pretty badass, whos gonna post it, is it even real?

New Gn'R hater  ;D And Izzy left on August 31, 1991... and technically, to be 'real' Gn'R, last show would have to be Farm Aid % NO Madison, WI 12-19-87 cuz Steven was not on drums (I know, it's a great show, but rules are rules) and this is Appetite for destruction live version, not Appetite for Lies & Illusions...

haha everything in this post was what i was thinking and i started the thread so i make the rules :hihi:

yeah but that dudes idea was great. and id much rather hear appetite performed live by the band that actually made it.

1. Welcome To The Jungle (VMA 88)
2. It's So Easy (Paris 92)
3. Nightrain (Rock Am Ring 2006)
4. Out Ta Get Me (Ritz 88)
5. Mr. Brownstone (RIR 2 First Night)
6. Paradise City (Download Festival 2006)
7. My Michelle (Ritz 88)
8. Think About You (Boston 2002)
9. Sweet Child O' Mine (Roxy 86)
10. You're Crazy (CBGB's 87)
11. Anything Goes (London 87)
12. Rocket Queen (Indiana 91)

************

I consider GNR up till September 31 1991. :yes:
I like Adler but I can listen to Matt. : ok:
I don't like Dizzy but I can listen to him (he was pretty quiet in 1991). :hihi:
I almost like Gilby (now) but I can't take Tracy, Roberta, Teddy Zig Zag and all the other members of the circus. :drool:
The new band is Axl solo doing GNR covers. :yes:
If he comes to town I go in every show.  : ok:
If he comes 500 miles away from me I drive to the shows.  :yes:
But his band ain't GNR and even the rocks at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean know that.  :rofl:

This is a really cool idea. I'm not enough of an authority to suggest particular dates, but I look forward to downloading the finished results.
