Guns N’ Roses – “You Could Be Mine” LIVE In Paris 1992!

The Golden Age of Guns N’ Roses

I don’t think there’s anyone alive who doesn’t miss this era of Guns N’ Roses – Axl Rose was the consummate performer with a voice unlike any other, and more importantly, the band wasn’t a mishmash of random musicians handpicked to try and replicate greatness.

This performance of ‘You Could Be Mine’ live in Paris, 1992 is a huge testament to that fact! The guys were on one of many legs of their Use Your Illusion tour and let me tell you – they were unstoppable!

‘You Could Be Mine’ was featured on Use Your Illusion II (1991). Released that summer, the song reached number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number three on the UK Singles Chart.

I can’t get over how amazing this performance is! From start to finish, the guys in Guns N’ Roses gave us a show that was honestly one for the record books. Axl’s energy combined with Slash’s seemingly effortless shredding, complete with a sold out venue full of screaming fans who just couldn’t get enough of Guns N’ Roses makes for a musical experience you won’t soon forget!

+ You Could Be Mine lyrics +

I’m a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I’ll rip your heart in two
And I’ll leave you lyin’ on the bed
I’ll be out the door before you wake
It’s nuthin’ new to you
‘Cause I think we’ve seen that movie too

‘Cause you could be mine
But you’re way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin’
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin’ done
I said you could be mine

Now holidays come and then they go
It’s nothin’ new today
Collect another memory
When I come home late at night
Don’t ask me where I’ve been
Just count your stars I’m home again

‘Cause you could be mine
But you’re way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin’
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin’ done
I said you could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine, mine, mine, mine

You’ve gone sketchin’ too many times
Why don’t you give it a rest
Why
Must you find
Another reason to cry

While you’re breakin’ down my back n’
I been rackin’ out my brain
It don’t matter how we make it
‘Cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps are wearin’ thin
And I could sleep on it ’til mornin’
But this nightmare never ends
Don’t forget to call my lawyers
With ridiculous demands
An you can take the pity so far
But it’s more than I can stand
‘Cause this couchtrip’s gettin’ older
Tell me how long has it been
‘Cause five years is forever
And you haven’t grown up yet

You could be mine
But you’re way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin’
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin’ done
I said you could be
You should be
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
You could be mine
