Here Today...
« on: December 22, 2009, 10:01:34 AM »
Now I could be wrong, but is it possible Axl has a thing about numbers? Could this be why Estranged is such an elusive live animal?

For example: "Old at heart, but I'm only 47...." would probably sound better if he was 48, no?

This could be the year, South American fans!

I would imagine that the facts that Estranged isn't a particularly well known song (so no obligation to play it), difficult vocally, difficult musically, and takes up a lot of time had more to do with its lack of plays. Probably my personal favourite GNR song, all the same.

Axl: Havin' a bit of trouble posting replies. Interrupted connection and all that.

Here's some answers.

Into Sorry musically most rt now.

Estranged and Civil War probably somewhere.

I probably just fucked the song up, wish it had deeper meaning.

Sometimes but not underground!

PC but I use both.
I'm pretty sure the questions were similar to "what's your favorite song on CD", Would you play any "new old" songs in the future from UYI, "what does "ok nevermind" mean in the blues from RIR 2001?" "do you listen to any underground hiphop?" "do you use PC or mac?"

my answer to the thread starter is no, if so then he'd only be playing it in 1990, 2000, 2010 and so on.. so it has nothin to do with numbers/age

I seem to recall Axl describing some hesitance at performing songs like Don't Cry and Estranged back in 2001/2002 as well.

Obviously, and thankfully, that's changed smoking

There are so many good songs on the illusion albums that would sound awesome in 2010.  Particulary estranged and civil war.  Dead horse, perfect crime, locomotive, breakdown and coma.

Axl no only has to change the "28" part but also the "I'm much too young" as it does no make any sense with "48" hihi

Maybe He could replace it with "I'm not that old to let love breake my heart" Grin

I don't think Axl gives a fuck about Slash or any of his work in GNR at all. 
He'll do Estranged if he wants to when he wants to.

i think on this occasion he does give a fuck, coz that was a really heavy song for him and slash came up with that riff, i dont believe all the "bad blood" thats between them would change the fact that song means alot to him and he cannot ignore slash's part in that song, otherwise i think he would have played it already, you cant say its not one of there greatest hits!
