Guns N' Roses - Pretty Tied Up


This is a live performance by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses playing their song "Pretty Tied Up" live. The performance is from their 1992 gig in Tokyo, also released on DVD.
The song originally appeared on the band's 1991 album "Use Your Illusions II". The song is subtitled "The Perils of Rock n Roll Decadence". The song was written by Izzy Stradlin and the lyrics may have been inspired by Stradlin's encounter with a female dominatrix and her client.
Another live version of this track is available on the band's live album "Live Era: '87-'93".
It's a great rock 'n' roll song. I love that wah wah Slash uses and the rock 'n' roll piano played by Dizzy Reed you can hear in the background.
A great performance.

Enjoy ; )

Guns N' Roses - Dust N' Bones


This is a live performance by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses performing the song "Dust N' Bones". The performance is from 1991.
The song is from the band's 1991 double release Use Your Illusion I. (Of course the second album of that double release was Use Your Illusions II). "Dust N' Bones" is the second song on the album and it was written by Slash, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan. It is the first song on the album that is sung by Stradlin and also the first song to feature Dizzy Reed on piano. I really think the piano is crucial to what makes the song good, it gives it an old school rock 'n' roll feel a la The Rolling Stones. Both the live version and the album version features Slash playing talk box guitar on the song which also adds to the sound of the tune.
It's a great song and the live performance is very good as well. (Though the audio could have been better).

Enjoy ; )
