Songs artists no longer sing live.

I used to be a big Swannee fan as a young lad growing up, but when Johnny played at a SANFL Grand Final I reckon he refused to do any of his songs (live).

One of the more embarrassing moments in GF history ...

Thats right .. Between Swanny, Ricky May and Balmy and Timmy's miscreant behaviour it's hard to know which is the worst

Silverchair stopped playing Tomorrow pretty early on in their career and not that I keep right up with them these days but I don't think they've played it in more than ten years now.

just played the Daniel Johns grab for the JJJ hottest 100 said he is embarrassed by that song now. As he said he was just a 14 year old kid when he wrote that and heavily into Nirvana and the grunge scene. Certainly not the Silverchair scene these days either

Red Hot Chili Peppers are fairly reluctant to play anything from One Hot Minute for obvious reasons. A shame because I friggin love the album.

not obvious to me.. pls explain

Pretty sure that Shiny Happy People wouldn't have been on too many REM playlists!

why?

A very turbid and dark period for all of them, which is reflected in the songs. A young Frusciante spiralled out of control and ended up in a long rehab and was replaced in the band by Navarro, which really changed the dynamic of the band. They've always been a bit 'off this planet', but for that period they went even further and I reckon Keidis and Flea aren't particularly nostalgic about it

REM loathe the song. Michael Stipe has often said he wishes they had never written it. It was written almost as a joke and they never imagined it would be popular. I stand corrected, but believe they have never played it in concert.

eskimo joe and sweater

wow great song thou

[schimma]

Pearl Jam have always been reluctant to do 'Alive'

Not at all
Eddie loves how the song has changed, evolved over time, and how it means so much more to different people.

in 2001 or 2002 they were on tour in aus and they did not want to sing it as one of there close band friends or maybe even a relative had just died just before the tour.

I bet Art Garfunkel wont be joining Paul Simon in a rendition of 'You Can Call Me Al' anything soon........

Elton John refuses to play Candle In The Wind since late 1997 for obvious reasons.
