Perhaps:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1MxXMJGFQoLoved Axl's intro:
Forgive me if I don't run around and try to project? as much, cause I'm gonna try to figure out how to fucking sing it live and I'd like to think when we wrote this song it was like the Immaculate Conception 
This is the kind of song Axl struggles with the most, specially the high parts. But I'm sure as the tour goes on, he'll get more used to sing it live.
As per Slash's solo, sounds way better than the studio version!
For those who aren't fans of American football- The Pittsburgh Steelers were involved in a famous football play called the Immaculate Reception. I think Axl was cheekily referencing that with this intro.
Now it makes sense, thanks.
