i prefer this version to the album version. still a great album, plenty of great singles on it, like madagascar, this i love, sorry, better and scraped.
Better? Pull your head out of your ass. Brian May's work was superior and the man is a legend in Rock. Finck is just another medicore face in the crowd.
See you just proved my point, Brian may is a legend and Finck is relatively unknown. So you base your opinion on that without objectively listening. And after chinese democracy has been out for a while, finck will be better known. The solo wasnt one of brians best anyway, it was more like a 10 second bridge than a solo. So I am not saying Finck is better than May, I am just saying the new solo is better.
My opinion has nothing to do with rock n' roll stature. Finck is not a very good guitarist and is not worth being mentioned with Slash or Buckethead. It's kind of funny that he ditched GNR a 2nd time. Axl should have kept Brian May's work intact, it was much better than the garbage finck and bumble contributed to this song.
Well then lets take neither opinion as fact. After all music is subjective. I like Fincks solo much more, as I said to me May's is more like a 10 second bridge than a solo. And I also think bumble's outro is one of the greatest moments in guitar history (future history).
Am I wrong? no, are you wrong? no. Music is subjective.
Hey Meesh, check the itunes charts tommorrow night and you will see the album is number 1 in the US and many other places. It number 2 in Australia at the moment on itunes.
I think I like the first solo better on the demo... it's more memorable right now... but I think I like the outro solo on the album better, although this version has some great licks after the 5:00 mark.
pues la han cagado con la version final y en grande =(, ni siquiera esta es la mejor version, anteriormente hay otra mejor que esta y que fueron malogrando cuando agregaron mas efectos de sonido y demas cosas
todo el mundo le reclama ahora a Axl porqué es que se cambió esta primera y perfecta versión por la final. Se ha malogrado la que hubiera sido la mejor canción del album.
Hmmmmm... there are some moments I like the album version better, but overall I think this demo is nicer overall. The music isn't mixed as much in the demo. Seems like the album version throws heavier guitar riffs in odd spots. Especially in the intro and the midpoint of the song around the 2:00 minute mark.
The funny thing is even Slash said he liked the album. He was asked in an interview and he could have said "no I havent heard it yet" if he wanted to be polite, but no. Slash went on to say the album was great and Axl is a Genius!
Brian May's guitar parts have been removed...word is the other guitarist butchered the first solo, but the outro solo has been turned into amazing. thats from the ppl who already have chinese democracy in their hands
This video is hilarious, it's like a really awesome emotional song with retarded looking cartoon characters, for some reason it really makes me laugh.
Seriously though, this song sounds awesome and I just can't wait for Chinese Democracy to come out.
no because all the songs have leaked except maybe 2? shacklers revenge and if this world are ok but if these are the studio versions for the rest of the album then its garbage.
When i asked on the Chinese democracy video leak which song Brian May is in soemone replied saying this song, and also said the song is about the murder of John Lennon. Mark Chapman was obssessed with the book called Catcher n the rye
Brian May's played parts in 4 Guns N' Roses songs, this song 2 others and another song called Atlas Shrugged, but I don't think his parts are still on Catcher N' The Rye
I only looked for this song for the Brian May solo . This song is good but I not a fan of Guns new stuff becuase they shouldnt go under the same name. I read in this mornings paper Brian May was taken out of the album and that he was dissapointed.
My favorite part of the song is the middle between 2:00 through 3:02
Hopefully this song receives the attention it deserves. No clue why the released the chinese democracy song first. Sounds like a leftover 80's song slighly modernized for the new millenium.
I love this song & yea, Im Guns N' Roses fan.
Axl's fucking GREAT singer I ever seen in my life.
he's my God.
