GNRfanMILO Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hey there guys. The question is simple, im trying to find the "best" version of Mr Brownstone during the nuGNR era.I personally like a lot the Rose Bar acoustic one. Not saying it's the best, otherwise I wouldnt be doing this thread. I want to hear your opinion guys!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 It won't be any version by the current line-up. The 2002 band played the AFD songs faster and it really worked for Brownstone I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn_Smooth Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Definitely won't be anything from before '06 or after '10. Can't have a best Brownstone with Axl sounding like shit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to hear your opinion guys!Thanks even though that's not anywhere close to the best version of the song IMO, it is amazing how raspy Axl was. Compare his vocals there to the 2002 version on the ending "Whooaaa-oh-ohhh" -- it's like a completely different singer. He really was back to his old ways in 2010. What the fuck happened?

GabrieL_TiT Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) That rasp at "he's been knockin"... Axl Rose, we miss you. Edited November 16, 2014 by GabrieL_TiT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Not really any of the 'current' line up ones surface in my consciousness as killer performances of recent times which is strange as his lower register is never really affected much regardless of how warmed up his vocals are, I never really liked Brownstone that much as a song, it's a very good song don't get me wrong but never sticks out for me, curse of having such a good catalogue of tracks.

MrSoftie Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 On a somewhat related note, does anyone have the 2012 performances? I checked the Deleon Tequila channel but they've been taken down... :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Axl's 2010 voice and Robin's solo would make a perfect nugnr Brownstone. Edited November 16, 2014 by ProstituteComa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangoSkank Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Most things from Rock Am Ring '06 get my vote.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4oF_Tp5mnk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have a best Brownstone with Axl sounding like shit.Pretty much this. Robin's solo is better than DJ's, but Axl's voice is better in 2010. So I have to say this one... Most things from Rock Am Ring '06 get my vote.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4oF_Tp5mnk Edited November 18, 2014 by Bruno P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War2k14 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I really wish they had more tracks from Rose Bar with the direct line in from Axl's Mic. He was on Fire that Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't know why they only released Brownstone with the monitor feed, and the rest with audience audio. He even did the old-school growling intro for Jungle at this show!

Jesus that was great to watch. It's remembering these vids arnt so far old that make me keep coming back here and waiting to see what the old fuker is going to do next. Damn he was on fire, I would have killed to see that live man. You can tell by his body language he knows he's fukin on. Fuk why couldn't rock fuel have been around then and made this into a DVD. Ig that can be said about a lot of gigs tho lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always loved Jungle from this show vocal wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
