Yes- Slash played "Don't Damn Me" last night at his tour opener- Todd Kern singing. First time it has ever been played live.
Nothing else that happens in GN'R land today will be as interesting.
Don’t Damn Me is one of the holy grails of GN’R songs I’ve wanted to hear live, and Slash is doing it smart playing it with SMKC, a tight professional band that won’t fuck it up like you know GN’R would…
I’ve seen a SMKC setlist from this show too, and where Don’t Damn Me is listed, it has Perfect Crime and Bad Apples as alternates.
Could it be that Slash wants to play these songs with GN’R, but Axl won’t, or just can’t vocally do it?
Either way, I’m so glad that it’s been played live!

The more I listen to all of these Chinese leftovers that Slash and Duff have worked with, the more it's clear these are bang-average songs that were left off the album for good reason. Perhaps is the cream of the crop by some distance of the 5 we have now heard completed for me.
I'm also increasingly baffled they didn't prioritise Atlas and State of Grace as well - I think they could be quality songs.
What a massive letdown "The General" is.
I still think Perhaps is rubbish. Worst of the bunch. Monsters is fantastic to my ears though.

12 Angry Men (1997) - Great film. An all star cast .. including Gandolfini right before The Sopranos. Great chemistry. Should've swept the Golden Globes and other awards shows. This might be the best made for TV movie ever.
While it's a drama...it's really a comedy drama. I laughed every few minutes at their bitching/yelling.
Love how the story plays out...it's all about the jury...the criminal and anything else irrelevant.
I need to watch the original from the 1950s.
I’ve yet to see the 1997 remake, but the 1950’s version had me gripped all the way through. An absolute classic.

Get In The Ring is far and away the most embarrassing GNR song to date….awful in every way
That riff tho.
Riffs and solos in GITR more than make up for the questionable lyrics

I’m clearly in the minority here, but I think Scraped is not only the worst song on CD, but possibly the worst song in the entire GN’R catalog.
Just terrible cut and paste auto tuned vocals that sound absolutely rubbish. Maybe I should give it another chance to try and hear the instrumentals underneath, but my god, it’s hard to get past those vocals.

Your obsession with Robin Finck is out of hand. We get it, you don’t like Slash, and you love Finck. Still doesn’t mean he’s playing on any of these songs.

Hopefully this puts an end to those still insisting “that is F iNcK playing on The General, not $la$h”

if only GNR was like pearl jam
I love Pearl Jam, and while I find their first few albums untouchable, they kinda lost me over the years in the direction they went into. I just found it a little uninspiring.
Still a great live act though.

I remain unconvinced these are newer versions with Slash and Duff - sounds distinctly nu-guns to me
No way. There are very distinct Slash licks in both these songs, and Robin doesn’t play in that style of at all.
That said, I’m still convinced that the outro of Monsters actually melds from Slash’s lead guitar, into some of Robin’s - the last 10-15 seconds of the track. It sounds like some of the stuff that Robin plays in Street of Dreams.
