Re: London, June 1 2012
Awesome factoids on the unplayed songs. Can't understand why DDM and SGB never got played, even if they aren't heavy hitters. Either would've sounded great with the band's fucked up energy and anger.
Can completely understand why no Get In The Ring or My World. I wish they'd fucked around with an alternate GITR, more akin to Duff's original approach. Even let Duff sing it. That song has total balls, but was completely cartoonish in its final form. One thing that always cracked me up was "...and in this corner, weighing in at 850 pounds, Guns! And! Roses!" So not counting the touring act, you're looking at 6 141# junkies coming at you. For some reason, I always picture soaking wet cartoon alley cats trying to look badass. 
Re: London, June 1 2012
Dust N' Bones is too obscure? Huh? Dust N' Bones is probably more popular in the fanbase than 14 Years, and the pacing and tempo is basically identical. DnB is the Izzy song on UYI I and 14Yr is the Izzy song on UYI II. I wonder if the fact Slash seemed to be more dominate on DnB is the reason, I dunno. For some reason when I think instrumentals on 14Yr I think of Dizzy's piano more. I'm weird.
14 Years went on a run on radio here as the head to head nightly champ for like two weeks back in the day. Dust N' Bones never came anywhere near the radio as far as I'm aware. I've never heard it on radio once. Thus my reasoning for thinking Dust N' Bones is just too obscure maybe. Also for me personally I think 14 years is a way better song than Dust n' Bones. As for the tempo of the songs I never used Dust N' Bones as an example of a fast paced difficult song to sing. It's slower than 14 years and sounds like it'd be fairly easy to sing. To be honest I find Dust N' Bones very average, almost boring. 14 years is a great song I think. Maybe that's why Axl chooses one over the other.

I agree. I always liked GITR musically and I liked the meldoy in the vocals as well as Axl's vocal performance is really good but the lyrics are just so fucking stupid. It's basically Fred Durst quality lyrics.
I also always laughed at the "...and in this corner, weighing in at 850 pounds, Guns! And! Roses!" part of the song. Including Dizzy there is 6 of them so like you said 6, 141 lb runts. 
It's beyond ridiculous and lame. The lyrics posisbly rank in the top five worst lyrics ever.

Re: London, June 1 2012
I look at it like this:
They may only weigh in at 850.....
But Axl's coming at you with a broken bottle in each hand and will gladly die before loosing....slash is immortal and can't be killed by conventional means.....izzy's on the fone to his suspect drug lord friends.....duff always knew how to handle himself in a fight...and matt's a pretty big boy......
Not a fight I'd take on 
Re: London, June 1 2012
Why not Dust N' Bones?
Anyone notice that Axl does far more UYI II songs than UYI I?
Just curious why...
As far as why not Dust N' Bones,
I thought this was the case, but I just doublechecked it to be sure.
Writing credits on 14 Years is Axl and Izzy and Dust N Bones is Izzy, Duff, and Slash. I'll bet that's why.

Plus does DJ have a talk box rig?
If Slash had a 3rd nipple you can bet DJ would
