Popular Post Tom-Ass Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 I feel like I am going to get shit for this post but I just heard the alternate version of Don't Cry on FM radio. I think that was a first for me and thought it was pretty cool. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post baldek Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 Why would you get shit for it? It's pretty cool, indeed. The "And when you're in need of someone my heart won't deny you" part is one of Axl's finest moments in the studio. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonKinight Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I've seen once that Axl spoke about it in a interview, and said is his favorite version of this song. I wonder why he didn't played it more than twice, then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombux Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 probably the most suitable song for hard breakups. "I've been there before" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Don’t cry’s alternate version is beatiful. The contrast to the original is something that should be admired. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 It's an interesting listen but the Original lyrics are clearly better suited to the song. The Alternative lyrics do sound like they're squeezed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waemoth Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 In my opinion, the original version sounds slightly better until the solo. I really, really like the part in the alt. version after the solo though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 This was the version Axl said he felt the lyrics coming to him one day and went to the studio to record it immediately haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksks12 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) The part after solo is brilliant. Edited July 9, 2018 by ksks12 Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedYourIllusion Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 So many seem so lonely and I won’t let you cry too baby.. gets me every time; I think, for me at least, Don’t Cry (2) as Axl called it is on par with Estranged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've only heard the alt version on the radio a few times over the years. I remember MTV used to play it quite a bit though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my friends loves the original version and I said the alt one was better. I played it for him and he wasn't into it. I guess he is just too used to the original.

I think people just hear the original so much that they're used to it. For me personally, even if all the lyrics were the same expect the bridge, I'd prefer the alt version for those lyrics alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waemoth Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 According to the UYI II booklet, these are the lyrics: If we could see tomorrow What of your plans No one can live in sorrow Ask all your friends Times that you took in stride They're all back in demand I was the one who's washing Blood of your hands ... I know the things you wanted They're not what you have With all the people talkin' it's driving you mad If I was standing by you how would you feel Knowing your love's decided And all love is real ... I thought I could live in your world As years all went by With all the voices I've heard Something has died And when you're in need of someone My heart won't deny you So many seem so lonely With no one left to cry to baby 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
