why do you think Axl didn't play estranged

[Top-Hatted One]

Axl will not play Estranged anymore cos its too Slash

[da_pope]

Yeah dude, I think Fortus should just dominate NR

Agreed.
That is in no way a shot at Ron but it's not his style.

[leesixxrose]

coz its old.... as new songs get released he will start dropping older songs and play new ones..... forget about Estranged... if you want to hear it live watch the old dvd's or videos... listen to live era 88-93... forget about estranged already

Well they play Sweet Child O' Mine and that solo is Slash's claim to fame.

SWCOM is a World known hit... every small country in the world knows this song.. thats how popular it is.... its not gonna be overlooked... Estranged is totaly different

I guess I see where your coming from.
But a song like Out Ta Get Me is also very Slash... I just think that it's to diffucult of a song to play.

Could someone tell me why they enjoy Double Talkin' Jive so much? I have tried and tried and can't seem to get into it whild I'm listening. I would like to know what you see in the song that is so awesome so I could get into it easier.

I'm with you... It's not that great.
But I think it's the whole attitude of the song.

i thought i recognize the screen name... btw why would someone elses opinions about a song make it "easier" to get into?  Do you really need some people on an internet board telling you whats good about a song or not?

what does this have to do with Axl playing Estranged?

[AxlsSweetChild]

i really just wanted to know what people see in it, it wasnt really for me, i just read on this post someone asking what they saw in Coma, and I wanted to know what ppl see in Double Talkin' Jive

[Communist China]

I don't think Axl will ignore songs because he has respect for other members of the old band. He claims to BE Guns N Roses, so why would he not play a song because it's mainly by another member?

Like Jimbo said, the attitude in Izzy's voice is spot on.

[The Dog]

While probably my fave guns song of all time, I don't think estranged would go over well in 2006 if it was played live.  Its a very long song, kinda slow - picturing it in the hammerstein setlists, it would just really kill the momentum of the shows I think.  Coma would be 1,000 times worse though.  I think with Estranged non die hards might know of it from the videos.  I've never heard a non die hard talk about coma.  Both songs are better played on your stereo then live in concert.  Personally, I would dig it to hear it live if axl's voice was 100% and he got really into it, but I don't think the masses would.

[riotact_vancity]

while we're on this topic, is there any song that has never been played live?? perhaps 'my world'?

they ever do Garden of Eden? i was gonna suggest me and my buddy's start up[ band do it, but thought it too hard, so i pulled right next door... instead.

[makane]

Imagine Estranged without Slash's lead parts replaced with ie. Bumblefoot. It just doesn't work.

[EccoTides]

Eh, Estranged (as much as I love it) would just be a momentum killer with a live show - Much like Madagascar and There Was a Time are. I love all three songs, but they aren't live necessities - They just hurt the energy in a live setting.

And as much as I love the new guys, I'll admit I don't particularly want to hear them try Estranged - I adore Slash's work on it as much as Axl's, and I'm fine with it being kept firmly in the past as a live song.


It'll always be perfect on UYI II, just as I hope There Was a Time will be on CD.
