wasted Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It's a shame this isn't on the radio during the summer months.I know Axl gave us some info about it's meaning but I just enjoy it as an epic breezy Beatlesy tune for drifting away to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It's an awesome song, I didn't appreciate it in it's demo form but the studio version kills it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I love the demo, I've been listening to it a lot recently. In the form of the demo, I'd say it was NuGuns best work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I a lot of fans prefer the Demo version.I love Brian May, but Ron's work on this song is genius...I never really liked May's Catcher solo. Everyone is entitled to there opinion, but it was not standout to me. Ron's solo is also good, but not standout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 55 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 how do you relate to the lyrics?I don't.I don't relate to Paradise City either. Some songs are just that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 You're right! It's a summer song. The sound of it is, but the lyrics is more winter NYC feeling to it, if you take it like that. I just find myself just going with a more laid back vibe tha comes across. like it's summer who gives a crap.how do you relate to the lyrics?I don't.I don't relate to Paradise City either. Some songs are just that wayit's pretty hard to relate to, that's why I take it my own way. don't take me back to my shitty city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailaway Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 how do you relate to the lyrics?It can make me a bit sad,when I think about the Salinger/Manchurian candidate/Chapman assasination of JL,I'm a unabashed fan of lennons work in and out of the Beatles.But its a good song,love the studio release over the Demo.

John Doe Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Its genious and amazing because of the way Axl manages to get his emotion out, which I think is the problem with a lot of the CD material.. I love his voice and all, but some emotion seemed to have dissappeared, except for the "you are the instrument" part.. I just love that.. Even TIL seems bloated, he sings with emotion, but its yeah, bloated.. Whereas the Catcher is on the spot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) My favorite song off of CD. I love the last 2 minutes or so of the song. The acoustic version they played at one of those secret bar shows sounded really good too. I don't know how to describe the song, the studio version specifically. It has almost a dream-like quality to it as silly as it sounds. Edited July 19, 2011 by WhazUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
