When guns retain their punk rock ethic i.e. raw and real, no one can touch them. Too bad they were so over produced on Illusion. They sucked all the beauty and emotion out of the songs.
I think the poor sound quality adds to the feel of this version. Just very raw, almost rushed. Like they just had to 'bleed it out' onto any recording material they had at the time. This version just sounds like raw pain...like those random tears you just cant choke back. Brilliant.
Glad to see that I'm not alone thinking this is a good song. Anyways, its easter and I'm in a good mood, so I uploaded the mp3 to megaupload. Like and fave if you like it :-)
i think its totally incorrect to judge a song on the technical aspect ...... what really makes a song in the feel it carries ... and the feelings contained in this song are incomprehensible
i think its totally incorrect to judge a song on the technical aspect ...... what really makes a song in the feel it carries ... and the feelings contained in this song are incomprehensible
why there are not groups or singers like axl..cobain etc anymore.. i mean nowadays i only see singers and rocker groups with make up and trying to look like twilight shit instead of real rockstars like the old ones l
@brandons3 That depends on where are you looking for my friend ;) of course if you listen to radio and MTV thats what you'll find. But nowdays there are sooo many kik-ass bands that I just can't help it man!
@brandons3 They're out there, you just have to find them. Ever heard of the White Stripes, or The Black Keys? Both pretty good, especially compaired to the crap that's popular nowdays.
This version gives me goosebumps. I believe it's actually better then the "finished" product on the album, although the epic sequence in the end would just make this version so good!
@Donursus Really???? I think it's rather average in terms of the songwriting. It's just the same simple chords repeated over and over without any signs of a real chorus or bridge. Personally, I think this would have wound up as a very mediocre ballad (almost like album filler) without that bombastic coda attached. It's the melodic chorus and guitar riffs near the end that make the song memorable, imho. Axl must have felt the same. Otherwise he wouldn't have bothered adding anything
@ritter89 I agree with donursus, doesnt matter if it "avarage" in songwriting, its it simplicity that makes this song a great version, and if its simple doesnt mean its avarage, I think almost every lovesong is avarage compare to this november rain version
A friend of mine had this version on a pirate vinil record, back in the early 90's. I remember I was amazed at the beauty of this song. So when UYI 1 and 2 came out, I was finally able to listen to the studio version of this wonderful song. I always get the goose bumps when I listen to this fantastic tune.
Me atrevo a decir que esta es la version original antes de entrar al estudio y meterle la megaproduccion, como en algun momento dijo slash:, "en verdad nada que ver"
Just perfect... I Like all the styles that gnr did, from the heavy metal tracks to the soft ballads like this one. Shame Axl went and ruined it for us all.
damn i had this version when i first got access to internet in my house back in 97...dont even remember where i downloaded it lol...its nice to hear it again... !
awesome early version, thank u so much!
