Don't Cry this time around?

[LIGuns]

How about a shrt rendtion of Axl N' Baz doing Don't Cy leading into Sorry..Baz of course taking the late Shannon Hoons vocals in DC..

Rumours about rehearsels, GN'R doing that song in 2007 and Asbha's talking about 40 songs brings some hope!

[NaturalLight]

I think they'll play it. Don't think Baz will sing it, though. Figure he'll do My Michelle again and Sorry. If he does anymore it could be looked at as overkill. (I'm not saying it necessarily is, but some people may look at it like that.) Then again, they could mix it up. Overall, I expect Baz to sing at least one song anyway.

Baz could not fill Shannon Hoon's shoes.

I think this is not the subject of the thread, but, anyway, i always hated all LIVE perfomances of Don't Cry where Shannon is singing it. (But i love the backing vocals he does in the Illusions)

I don't really see Axl and Baz doing it together, but definitely Bumblefoot starting it off as a solo, then Axl coming in during the second verse, and the entire band coming in during the bridge.  That would be pretty bad ass.

As for duets with Baz, my money is on Back in the Saddle Again.  I see this set being less AFD heady, so I wouldn't count on My Michelle being played as often.  Plus it would be cool to see Axl rip it up with Baz on this song since it was on Baz's most recent album.

Cheers,

Andrew

I for one would love to see it brought back. Not every night but throw it in once in awhile. It makes it more touching that way.

[bigcash2002]

not sure why, but I don't see this song being played on this tour

no thanks, and tbh, i don't think it would be axl's cup of tea either, of course i don't know the man but i think that song is so connected with his late friend that he don't wanna do it with somebody else, who knows but i'd rather hear axl sing it byhimself

[TomFriend]

Seeing Axl and Baz do one of the songs from Angel Down would be cool, and a good way to promote the album.

i think the song can connect with anyone who's been through parting with their close friends.
what i don't see is the connection between don't cry and sorry.

wasn't that what they did last concert in japan?  i thought there was a bootleg of the whole band for a verse of two floating around from one of those shows.. i hope they include the full song as party of set list.

Of course i hope they will play this, they dont have to do it on every gig, but yet sometimes. Don't Cry is like one of the ultimate GNR tracks ever, it always gives you goosebumps, especially nowadays when they dont play it so often.

What I meant was hopefullyAxl N' Baz will play Sorry, and while Baz is out there they due Don't Cry as well.
Baz really doesn't sing much on Sorry, so it it neccassary?
What is great w/ how the did My Michelle was the tradeing verses.. Someone responsed on playing Back in the Saddle, that would be great.
Don't Cry could be interesting, but maybe not the best idea for Axl N' Baz to trade off vocals.

Axl started to sing it at the first concert in Japan. It was a huge surprise and very moving when everyone thought the show was closed with paradise city axl joined Ron's soloing to make the second encore.

Talk about a surprise!
