Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hey....i know everyone loves AFD and ive seen LOTS of post about underated songs but i dont recall seeing any threads about Anything goes so....I really love it : ok:
I think it has its own sound...Its cool ;)
What are your views?? ???

Anything Goes is an awesome track, i agree it's hardly ever mentioned but i love that song. I would 1 day want to hear the 12 minute version if they ever did it.

There was a 12 min version?? where did u hear that?? :o

this is one of the most underated party songs of all time... put it in with 11 other songs on a CD that changed the world of music and its easy to miss..

I belive the 12 min version is a demo with diff lyrics..

Um various places and it says it in the GNR history section on HTGTH. It was orginally written for 12 mins by axl and izzy in 1984 but they cut it down for AFD.

i did hear a shitty live performance of a Anything Goes diferent lyrics song.. wich might just be My Way, Your Way....

did they record the 12min song at all?

and it used to be a cross between Thrash and Speed metal, acording to steven that is...

I'm not sure if they actually recorded it, but i think the 12 minute version was of the same lyrics and another 1 with different 1's like don't cry, but i aint to sure.

With the thrash and speed metal thingy did u hear that from the steven interview that was recently posted by dizzy in the ex-gunners section?

Anything Goes is a great song!

Love the verses!

i havent had or dont have the time to read that interview.. but it was a relatively old interview, yes....

I think the most underated song on AFD is Think about You.

but Anything Goes is still a mad song : ok:

fuck yeah! me too!! i think its the most improved song by the new band also...  the old one is good and the new one is a flat out ass kicker.....

had to reply here. this song is excellent i love it but not as much as estranged. : ok:

Anything goes is an awesome song, one of the best on AFD for sure.

Can't wait for the 12 min version on Hollywood Rose's album......(all three versions : ok:)

awesome song , is the 12 min version really on the Hollywood Rose's album?

Should we have a thread for every GNR song ? like wow i really like nightrain what do you think...that's little bit boring...

As others mentioned, I did post an interview with Steven in the Ex-Gunners section where Steven said they recorded the 12 minute version for their demo, and shortened it for AFD.

However, they performed the long version live several times, I have it on a couple bootlegs from 1986.  After AFD was released, they only played the AFD version.

I've heard a 4 minute version with the alternate lyrics. I think these lyrics have much more depth.

I love My Michelle, the begining of that song just flat out kicks ass.

Heh, it wouldn't take much for any other version to have more profound lyrics.  :hihi:  Much as I love "Anything Goes", it's the most lyrically simplistic and unsubtle GNR song there is.
