Double Talkin' Jive is a song by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses from their 1991 album Use Your Illusion I. The song is one of several on the album that is sung by rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, rather than lead singer Axl Rose.

The song features a double-tracked lead vocal and usage of phasing. Though it is sung by Stradlin, Rose can be heard providing backing vocals during and after the chorus, with the words "No more patience...man," and "You dig...what I'm sayin'?" It additionally contains a prominent bass line, played by Duff McKagan. However, it does not feature keyboardist Dizzy Reed at all.

Interestingly, around 2:30 in the song, the electric guitars and drums fade out, and are suddenly replaced by the sound of spanish classical guitars playing the acoustically to the tune of the song. This unusual outro continues for nearly a minute before the song ends.
