How cool would it be if Axl picks up his mic during Ron's solo and starts humming don't cry

How much different can the Blues studio version be from the live performances?  Don't Cry by a mile.

Seeing how we've heard about 3 different versions of it live since 2001, I'd say the studio track could be very different.

Definetely like The Blues much better then Don't Cry! I think even more people will feel this way also when we have the studio version.  The Blues is my second favorite of the new songs, Catcher in the Rye definetely is my favorite, really hope that it turns up on the album with Brian May on guitar as well

I think The Blues is a better track than Don't Cry. Especially the ending with Axl wailing away, its simply amazing.

you will have a tough time selling the idea that the blues is a better song than don't cry to "orignal line-up" GnR fans!

The last verse of The Blues is some of the most emotional heartfelt lyrics and to me, the last verse of the blues ranks up there with Estranged.

Its fuckin brilliant.

Dont Cry doesnt come close to "The Blues" in my opinion.

Dont Cry = Izzy, Axl, Slash, Shannon Hoon masterpiece.. timeless classic

Blues = Axl's NR version 2.0


both versions of Dont Cry destroy all 3 versions of the blues.

What difference does it make how old he is?  I've heard Don't Cry probably around a thousand times, maybe more, over the last 14 plus years, I still think The Blues is a better song, and it's reached the point where the novelty factor would have worn off if it wasn't a great song

it can't be, live songs are suppose to be the song from the record basically.. maybe some sound effects or something like that..

I am an "original lineup" fan, and I think it is light years ahead of Dont Cry. Dont Cry is pure cheese. Axl and Izzy probably wrote it in 10 minutes. The Blues is an incredibly powerful song that is on a much higher level then Dont Cry ever could be.

I never liked Don't Cry that much.. Its cheesy and boring. Slash's solo is wonderful, tho. IMO, of course.

But its only a matter of opinion. I don't get how can you guys say things like "you are nuts if you prefer bla bla bla". Why don't you get that its just opinion, not fact? Not everybody likes what you like...

Anyways, I think it would be fair to compare both songs live (obvious, as The Blues is still not released). DC didn't sound as powerful and the song sounded softer (in a bad way). The backing vocals were ridiculous and Axl sang with no emotion. It was really boring to me... The song is already simple, they made it to sound even more simple live.

The Blues is not that simple and has Dizzy's piano, wich is another thing to add to the sound. Axl's vocals is way better now than in 2001 or 2002. Robin's solo is amazing, so is Richard's outro. But the song has no real chorus like DC, so it might not be a hit like DC.

Overall, I think The Blues live is way better than DC live. Of course, again, IMHO.

Don't see similarities in either.

But Don't Cry is the better song
