username Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think there are two versions of Shadow. There's also the one on the LALD single. Jumpin Jack and Heartbreak were recorded in multiple versions too. You want to count the Godfather theme? And there's that unnamed track playing in the back on The Making Of Estranged. And I've seen the instrumental called Too Fast To Live come by on bootlegs. We're not counting Hollywood Rose? I've also heard about a studio It Tastes Good, but I'm not sure if that actually exists. Some studio jams too. The Story has a couple of them. Is Goodnight Tonight a GnR original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GivenToFly Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yes, I suppose there would be some instrumentals, I wasn't even thinking about them.@Username:There is a song Goodnight Tonight by Paul McCartney but I don't know if it's the same song.

Mendez Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) There was a Heartbreak Hotel released in mostly high fidelity (as opposed to shitty studio demo quality that have no highs) on a compilation album that credited the members singularly, but not as GNR (to actually release it i suppose)I've only heard 1 version of shadow of your love, one of them was a pitch lower, and the other one was the one that ended up on the live ep with the overdubbed crowd. Both the same take but just altered pitchEdit: found it https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hollywood-rocks!-vinyl-edition/id2791397454th trackAlso, you could count the TSI instrumental tracks that had Izzy playing on them (vs gilby) but they obviously werent 'GNR' songs Edited April 9, 2015 by Mendez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludurigan Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) there are 2 untitled instrumental songs on one of these ACES HIGH CdsI remember they mentioned recording a song by the band FEAR (if I am not mistaken) for Spaghetti (EDIT = I DONT CARE ABOUT YOU, RECORDED AND RELEASED ON SPAGHETTI, thanks axlsalinger for the heads up)I also remember they mentioned recording SEARCH AND DESTROY by the Stooges (that must have been replaced by RAW POWER on the final list) for Spaghetti. The Aint Going Down instrumental version is also known as Meat & Beer jam if I am not mistakenAxl, Izzy and Slash recorded a terrific version of Under My Wheels with Alice Cooperthe Drunk Fux performed great versions of Scared for Life (Rose tattoo) and I Got a Line on You (Spirit), but Axl didnt sing them live so it is unlikely that the band has ever played thatAxl, Slash, Duff, Lars Ulrich take of Piece of Me (Skid Row) is by far the best ever cover of Skid Row ever performed on EarthThe instrumental blues that the band played on the last of the four Pasadena shows in 1987 is introduced by Axl as a blues song that "the boys been kinda working on" so maybe they have a studio take of itThe improv jam known as Axl's Blues (aka Cop Rap, played in Madinson WI on 1987) which consists of Axl talking over the band playing the blues is so fucking good, but so fucking good, that one could say that it is better than the entire music recorded for Chinese Democracy. I say that! Duff says all the time that he and Steven used to jam on Cameo's Word Up and Prince tunes to get their groove going. I am pretty sure there must be some live studio recording of it. I know it aint a song but it should be pretty cool to hear thatI remember an old short Robert John video where he recorded what seemed to be the very beginning of a Guns n`Roses rehearsal minus Axl. The band starts a jam and then the video stops. It was a pretty basic jam but these guys are so good together that that stupid jam was so fucking great. I am pretty sure that they have TONS of unfinished/untitled ideas/jams that never got to the point of becoming actual songs, but were recorded. To me thats the holy fucking grail of Guns N Roses, I hope someone anyone can release that stuff some day, this should be priceless Edited April 9, 2015 by ludurigan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsalinger Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) There was a Fear song on Spaghetti - I Don't Care About You. Unless you're saying they talked about recording a second one. Edited April 9, 2015 by axlsalinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludurigan Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 If you have patience and time I recommend (if you havent done that) checking the setlists on GNRONTOUR.com from 1986 to 1993http://www.gnrontour.com/These setlists are pretty great and informative.I am pretty sure they performed a lot more covers in the early days, some we probably dont know about.I remember also that a while ago I mentioned GNRONTOUR.com here and someone mentioned another site that also seemed to have great info on setlists.The Mark Canter book RECKLESS ROAD has a lot of info on the early days of the band including songs they played/rehearsed in GNR and before GNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
