Popular Post cosmicblues Posted August 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2016 One really neat part of this tour I've enjoyed is the revamped "Better" intro... So I set out to re-create a studio version of the track with the new arrangement... I think it turned out fairly decent. Rock on, - cosmicblues 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaponsnflowers Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 It's one minute of new music, what's no to like! Would be cool if you could have added Duff's and Melissa's backing vocals and Slash's solo, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A version with the new intro, Slash and the new backing vocals added in would be epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've been hoping someone would do this. So thanks! It's hard to capture the spirit of the live version fully though. So would be cool if someone would just cut and paste the intro of best sounding live version we have and put it in the beginning of the song.

mrw80 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 At the risk of sounding like a complete moron, I'll just ask. How did you do this? its awesome btw. Closest thing we have to actual new recordings and it makes me long for a new album even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty-nine Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Good job! I think I'd like the song "better" if the high falsetto Axl sings in at the beginning "No one ever told me...." was cut and the song started with "The hardest part..." right after the new intro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The first minute or so of this is the coolest piece of "new" music guns n roses (any line up) has played since 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that too, to a degree.. IMHO, the high falsetto section should be sung by Melissa only as Axl simply can't match the studio recording of it at all anymore.

I agree. Go straight in to "the hardest part..." Then it would really rock. That intro builds it up, but then the "song" intro kills all the momentum. You can keep that part for the chorus and what not, but I agree lose it on the intro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) This is epic man. Although I agree about cutting straight to "the hardest part" section instead of having the original version intro. Edited August 5, 2016 by Jw224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I would actually be in favor of the current band rerecording 3 Or 4 of these CD songs for a new greatest hits. I know many people love the album versions, and I do as well, but Slash and Duff could really add something to those songs that they plain just don't have as they are. My biggest gripe about CD is that it lacks a kick add YCBM type song. But this better into, with the changes we discussed, could potentially be that song. It just plain rocks harder with slash and duff. Edited August 5, 2016 by Iron MikeyJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about it being "new" ...it's basically a reworked version of the mid section of the song. But I agree...I like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I just meant it's the coolest piece of Some what "new" music I've heard out of guns n roses in a long damn time. If I heard that on an album, I'd be fucking giddy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 @cosmicblues I just love you man, thanks a lot for making this. This is just amazing. Is is possible if you could share a mp3 link or email the mp3 to me. I can download it from youtube also, but the quality is not good when I download from youtube videos.

cosmicblues Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thanks y'all! As far as making it goes, I grabbed the isolated drums, guitars, bass and vocal (off of YouTube of all places!), loaded them into Pro Tools, grabbed the parts from after the 2nd chorus, pasted it at the front, then played and tried to match all the synth parts tone-wise. Then played some guitars and put some cymbal parts on it, and mixed it from there... I'd be glad to try to get a version with Slash's solos and Duff/Melissa's background parts, and also a version that cuts out the original intro. Also, if anyone wants an MP3 of this version, PM me and I'd be glad to send it along when I get back to town Monday... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogman Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just wondering if everyone knows that the new intro is just the breakdown riff before the bridge? Sometimes I'm not sure if ppl know that or if they think slash/duff wrote that and made the new intro. but I agree with everyone on that it kicks ass. Love the new intro.

It's pretty obvious it's that. But you're right, there are probably some people who don't realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
