Here Today... Gone To Hell!

This is one of the best Guns N Roses songs ever.  Why have they abbandoned it? 

because you like it..
they want you to be pissed off and depressed  : ok:

What are you talking about? They played it in Philly in '02 and Portland Maine in '06.

If by "they" you mean Guns N' Roses.... then no... they did not.

If only "Civil War" was the only song they were not playing.... ;D

Still... can't wait till they get their asses to Brazil, Civil War or not

correction, they were going to play...it was on the set list for those nights, i remember seeing it.

yup and i was there for both...not my cup of tea and it was quite uncivil.....

i agree, 2nd best song to one in a million, and its nowhere to be found

we should get everyone to get a petition going here for them to play it. 

I see this topic come up every year at least 10-20 times....we all agree man, but Axl can't play ALL of his past hits.  He plays enough of them already!

War is a touchy subject these days, perhaps he'd like to avoid speculation. I remember when Def Leppard played "Gods of War" two years ago here in Tampa. The song was hands down the best number that evening, but the next day reaction @ DL.com was very negative, as many (moron) posters assumed it was an attack on US politics/Bush.

I'd love to see this band do Civil War live. Finck would blow it away : ok:

True, but he doens't have to play the same songs every night, he could mix the setlist.

yeah, that'll work!  why not start one to get them to release CD?  how bout one to have new kids on the block tour with them?  or maybe, a petition to get them to play at each of our homes?

that sounds like a plan, Ill supply the punch and chips, and someone can bring some pies and sausage rolls....


Why hasnt rocket queen being played at all this year?

very great band has this problem.There are numerous songs that are left off set lists due to time constraints..At least they play the hits..It's what the majority of the crowd are there for..

I'd like to see Breakdown added to that list.

GN'R most underrated song imo.

How is it that people are claiming this song was played at these two shows when it has never been played live by the new band ever?

Whoever said that is clearly mistaken.

Down on the farm was the surprise in the setlist last year IMO..  hopefully they'll add at least one never played song this year

it was a joke...philly 02 show never happened...a riot happened and portland 06' , they didnt show up...

It's a joke. 2002 was a riot, and '06 was canceled.

I feel like an ass now. Didn't ever put that together.   :hihi:

I think this would be a great song to play. Yes, it would stir up some controversy. To add even more fire, they should change "Chinese Democracy" to "Iraqi Democracy".

GNR needs a little fire.

I agree the previous poster. I think Axl is avoiding the song because of the current war.  Regardless if he's just playing the song for the fans, I'm sure all the pundits will spin it to say that Axl's making some anti-war statement.  The last thing Axl needs is more fabricated negative press. 

People get pissed at just about anything nowadays. 

Does anyone remember the protest against Peter Jackson for naming the 2nd LOTR movie "The Two Towers?"  Idiots thought he was making a 9/11 reference even though it was the name of the book written 50 years ago.

Add me to the "feel like an ass" category.... I wasn't even thinking when I was replying.

Now that I get it.....lol...
