Could YOU Play With Guns?

[Iconic Shawn]

I don't know about you guys.. but the first time I knew I HAD to be on stage live was when I heard / saw Guns and Slash rip into Double Talkin Jive live.

I guess we've all fantasied about being up there kicking off Paradise City or Sweet Child (or Better if you're more into the new band), but honestly, do you guys think you're Guns N' Roses Stage ready?

Say by some bs you and Axl got cool and he said he wanted you to join the band on stage (like he does with Izzy) to play a few songs. What songs do you KNOW you could play to Guns standards?

Do you think you'd be able to explode on stage with that type of energy?

If you had 4 songs.. what would they be? And I'm not talking hypothetical playing.. I mean songs that you as a guitarist could play.

Me being still getting my chops in order I'd settle for playing rhythm on..

1- Down on the Farm
2- Nightrain
3- Its So Easy
4- Fucking Double Talkin Jive!

And I know for sure I'd be able to explode on stage and give Axl a fucking run for his money. Can't imagine how fucking amazing that would be.

Dream on.

i reckon i could give slash a challenge with Locomotive, i dont actually know the solo not for note but improv sounded pretty cool.

[wyldechild]

I could play a gig with the guys but it would prolly be like 80% worser than the "real deal" if ya know what I mean

song I'd want to play

Welcome To The Jungle
Shacklers Revenge
Estranged
Paradise City

+ when I'm on stage or if I play for my buddies in parties etc.. I tend to be like zakk is on stage (I wonder why)
so I wouldnt run around that much I would just drink beer and break stuff 

[chezequerz]

no i probably couldn't not even my regular style of playing anymore

[paulhill]

I think i could do
My Michelle
Rocket Quenn
One in a million
sweet Child of Mine

[Bigphil1]

I know so many Guns songs, GN'R and my own stuff is basically all I play.
Say I was hanging around a venue before a show and people were going apeshit like 'Ron/Robin/Richard broke his arm' etc. I'd step up and I really think I could do it, I think I know Robins parts best but I think I could do all their parts.

[RP88]

I'd go with

1. Patience (Got everything down perfect on this one)
2. Welcome To The Jungle
3. Mr. Brownstone
4. One in a Million or Don't Cry

I don't know about stage presence though. I would probably be trying to concentrate and making sure I don't mess up. I haven't had much practice live.

[shackler]

1. Perfect Crime (solo 90%ish down)
2. Sweet Child O' Mine
3. Welcome To The Jungle

[cuddergnr]

[shackler]

From what you hear about them back in the day they use to play all fucked up. Izzy and shit.. I'm sure you could get away with a little 80% if its raw enough. Would be fun as hell if one could forget about the stage shit and just let loose.

[CalumFarq]

Welcome to the jungle
Nightrain

[cuddergnr]

I dont think anyone of us would be good enough.. it's different to play the songs in your room than with uncle axl and the guys.
there's a reason why they got so huge and we didnt
