Do you like the version on Use Your Illusion or the current version?
The first time I heard the current version was at a concert and I wasn't even aware that they had changed it, and I thought it was terrible. BUT once I listened to it a couple of times I started to love it and now I think it's WAY better than the Illusions version...which is still a great song. I love how mello and bluesy they made it and Axl sings it perfectly!
What do you think?

I actually enjoy a live version of this song more than the Use Your Illusion II version.

I also think that this song will stay in the setlist once they start replacing old songs with new ones once the cd comes out, because they've redone it and made it their own. So it's kinda a new song.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see it end up on Chinese Democracy. I think that would be a nice touch.

I love the new version. The middle section when Axl goes back & forth with the audience, then does the big wail is awesome.

I gotta say I like every version pre 93 a thousand times better than the current version.
I used to be one of my favorite songs in the set and it is now my absolute least favorite song they do.
My favorite version can be identified by 4 magical words.... "GIVE ME SOME REGGAE!!"

i didn't notice to much of a diff in the 06 version... i didn't like the the 02 version though.. i don't remember if it was the whole tour or just the 01 01 01 show.... but it sounded much more like the original.. and nothing like what GnR has made it. i think the 06 version is much better than that one.. and pretty close to the illusion era

I love the 2006 version, the 2002 version wasn't bad either. I'd take both over the UYI era version any day.

I like the newest version. I wasn't big on it when they were doing it in 02 but I like how it's evolved on this tour. It's like a mix between the Clapton version and UYI2 version to me. |

Prefer the old one, but that's only because I've seen Dylan play it like this and I like variety.  |

The best version is at the Ritz.
Steven's drumming suited the song so much more than Matt's and Brain's and Frank's.
I did like the Rock In Rio III version though. Buckethead's solo was great

I would rather listen to it on Illusion II. I think they should drop this and live and let die off the setlist to make room for other full songs. but that is just my opinion
