I say it's rather more likely he recorded the whole vocal part all over 100%. Just like Slash recording new solo lines for it, MATURE SLASH. But hey, I guess there will be peeps saying it's Slash 1986. Fucking hilarious. I think it's a lot easier to get a producer/mixer to restore a song from 1986 then it would be to get Axl Rose into the studio to record a song from 1986. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 It's funny how everybody is SO sure about stuff they can't possibly know for sure. I don't care about any of that though. It sounds good and that's all I care about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least Slash's guitar, bass, and drums are recent recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Wait, can somebody confirm if Shadow Of Your Love has been re-recorded? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedo Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I was looking through all the other demos and live performances of SOYL on Youtube and none of them have the same lyrics as the new version (just small subtle changes), which makes me think the vocals have been re-recorded. Also, the older versions are all in a higher pitch then the current version, which makes me think they adjusted it for Axl's current vocal range. I'm no expert though, that's just my observation, and they could have taken it off another demo that was never on Youtube for all I know. The song kicks ass regardless.

MaskingApathy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The drums are different too. Whoever's playing it hits the crash cymbal twice in a row in the verses (after the snare fills) and on the downbeats. He hits it on beats one and two. On all of the old recordings with Steven he never does that, only one hit on each downbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossus of Rhodes Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Production/re-mastering is top-notch. Song itself - great, vintage GnR (but it's a matter of taste of course). What I really like is that we finally have a proper GnR release! It's GnR not because what it reads on the cover, it just is. It's 1992 again, nostalgia all over. Singing in the background, I think that's Duff, emulating female backing vocals. Axl was young here, you can tell by playful falsetto, typical of young singers.

jekylhyde Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 It's an okey-ish song. The chorus is catchy, but that's about it. There's a reason why it was a b-side back in the day. It still is b-side material. Nice that Guns released something "new", but it is also a bit sad that they are comfortable releasing a b-side as their first official single since the reunion. Their comeback material should be stronger than this, in my opinion. But then again, that's just my opinion. Though, like I said, it's nice that they have released something. Keeps the wheels moving. And it is nice that people are digging this song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Also the guy listed as the engineer (Adam Chagnon)- according to his LinkedIn he's been doing audio recording only since about 2014 and he looks pretty young too. So there's definitely some new parts in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 It just feels weird to hear something new from GNR. Like, I'm listening to a newly released song, with a lyric video, and some media buzz. You know, just a thing that (almost) all bands do. Of course it's even weirder considering it's a song I first heard over 20 years ago. Always thought it was just an okay song, a good B-side, but damn, this recording does sound pristine. I like it. I don't know about the vocals, sounds fairly 80s Axl to me. I'm sure they spruced it up. But if Clink recorded a full version of the song in consideration for Appetite, that was then cleaned up and remastered in 2018, I can see this being the result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could still be listed as an engineer for the studio work that he and Clink did to spruce up the new version without there having being new recording. Or it could indeed be that he was part of some new recordings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIST Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hmmmm...solo sounds like sober Slash playing, so guess it's newly recorded. Better than anything else out there. I think Axl's "wake up its time to play "intro from the original should have stayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnrcane Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 If they were going to re-record anything, why wouldn't they re-record Steven and Izzy's parts to cut them out of the performance royalties (they'd still get writing royalties)? If they left Izzy and Steven on there, I doubt they re-recorded anything. Most likely just a remix and enhancement done with 2017 audio processing technology. As for the song, it would have been OK as AFD filler in place of Anything Goes but it definitely wouldn't rank as among the best songs off of AFD for sure. No way it get's a single release in the 1980's if it was on the album originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if there's an engineer listed there was some tracking going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby845 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Are you people crazy? This sounds FUCKIN' AWESOME!! 10/10 I cannot be more happy with how it turned out. Another shot of pure Appetite-era. And those are definitely 1986 Axl vocals. As far as Slash goes, I hear a lot of additions - mostly due to the fact that they reminiscence certain playing techniques and licks he employed in his solo albums. Without a doubt.. --- Btw, is it me or Steven used double-bass pedal on that recording? (as Slash said prior to recording the Appetite, Steven used that and they made him get rid off it). It's so un-Steven-like drumming. Anyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I think it's pretty fucking cool that there's genuine confusion about whether the vocals are 32 years old or new. Couldn't happen with any other rock singer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 1 hour ago, AncientEvil80 said: Quite clearly? WTF you guys been smoking. Of course it's the same person, so it will sound similar even 30 years apart. But what's clear is that vocal arrangements (choice of notes) and delivery (technique), point without a single doubt that it's definitely MATURE AXL. In the studio Axl has all the time to nail every single part to his liking. So of course he's not gonna sound as shitty and Mickey as live. But it's there, fellas. You can't hear it, well, shame on your ears. Just listen to the "I ain't standing.." at 1:38 or even more so, the "OH NO" at 1:50. After this, I'm done trying to make you see it. It's useless. It's like you read the first part of my comment, and not the second part in which i said it sounds like it has been edited and touched up a bit...
