The finished track is just as good.

I liked Brian's take (edited take😁) too, but I think bumbles Solo fits great too, and is one of the most Slash-like solos on the record!

Yeah like both versions, but was`nt Bumblefoot s version chopped around and edited heavily?

You guys are weird. The most excruciating song on CD is The Blues - and I actually really liked the live version from '02. Not sure wtf happened to the final version 

The 2002 demo is superb.  I can't believe they ended up with that awful version on the record

Definitely!

The "how a body took a body" line is actually a quote from the novel.

It is horrendous no matter what version.

In all fairness you don't cut up (or add to) someones solo without permission.

Did he not learn anything from the Tobias' fiasco?

At the same time it was for Axl's record so he could do with it what he pleased.

Tobias rhythm guitar is great on the early demo

Bumbles live solo was probably how he wanted it to sound! Quite like it
