Grayfox Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I knew it was a matter of time before these popped up. Will be interesting to hear how these sound and what people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Wow this has been a fun few days! Hoping to hear the TIL remix sometime soon. The wee snippet I've heard sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrjanus Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Haven't heard m. But please do enlighten us in how they differ from the studio versions, the 99 versions of twat. And or the live performances from 2002. Any major differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And or the live performances from 2002. Any major differences? Yeah I haven’t heard them either. I’m kinda hoping TWAT is closer to the 99 version than anything. Aside from the lack of solos. The overal feel was my favorite of the leaks for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrjanus Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Twat 99 is probs my favorite two. Just the more live feel to the song instead of a hundred layers of everything. It flowed more. I guess. Hopefully someday they'll release it as a packave just like afd. Just to hear the demos in whatnot forms would be so awesome. U can say what you want about them. Leaks or not. It does create buzz for the band. And in media. Positive or negative. News is news! And buzz is buzz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The Blues sounds kick ass with a lot more focus on the guitars than the album version does, I actually would rate this as my favorite version of the song that's out there! TWAT does not have the intro and is reminiscent of the '99 version, great version overall but not as exiting as The Blues in my opinion! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) I think I’ve only heard a demo of Twat and Catcher, IRS or were they demos? 99 is Beavan 2001 is Roy T Baker Edited June 11, 2018 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson87 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The '01 version of TWAT is basically a better quality version of the '99 demo. The Blues is much more exciting to me. As @youngswedishvinyl said, the focus is more on the guitars and it makes it sound that much better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the striking similarity at the first moment and thought it is just the old 1999 TWAT from cleaner source, but the song really is different. the most interesting there are distinctive background vocals and rhytm guitars, which were not present in the old demos and were buried in the mix in the newer ones. also some parts are different, but I had no chance to make a thorough comparison yet. anyway, this version indeed is nice! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing; I thought TWAT was extremely similar because I was so excited about The Blues . After I calmed down and listened to TWAT more, I heard what @zombux is talking about.

freeasachild Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Crazy times. Always wanted to hear that version of the blues - is it as fast as RIR 2001 and the HOB shows? Thought something was lost on the album version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I calmed down and listened to TWAT more, I heard what @zombux is talking about. I'm about halfway through and I notice it now too. I really think Axl should've kept the instrumental part of the first verse the same. It fits way better than what we got on the record, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarpatch Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Always liked the guitar/drum intro on SOD. It’s crazy after all these years to hear this version. Our 2003 selves would have broken the board by now. Fans from that era have long been salivating to hear it Edited June 11, 2018 by guitarpatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the interviews with Brain are from spring 2009, so the remixes must have been made before that. that's justmy guess, I might not be very accurate in many facts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
