Yeah, Gilby played a solo, but it wasn't the one that Slash plays in the studio version. It was Gilby playing his own thing.
Re: Road Recovery 'Use Your Illusion' Touring Lineup Near-Reunion
Would have loved to see this show. Instead of Dead Flowers they should have performed "Cure Me.....".
They perform KOHD better than new GNR.....
Every fuckin' body plays it better than new Guns. This fanboyish love the geeks have for the new-era KOHD, has stunned me since 2001. The suck hasn't been worth a damn since 1993. Let Bob Dylan perform it gay. Let GN'R perform it with some balls.
Same thing goes for Paradise City. Despite me posting that Baz video in the other thread, new GN'R--PC fuckin' is terrible. Axl's good, but the band is fucking horrible, and I think it's because Fortus does the intro, and has since 2002.
The feel is horrendous and all wrong.
When Slash does it, same with KOHD... that FEEL is there. There's soul to it. Soul is non-existant with the others.
