He wrote the song
Then you need better cans hunny
If you have good gear you can hear the better bits of sound. However, I think this could have been better by far.
The mix is definitely better on the released version vs the demo. Not perfect but better. Plus some of the crap strings have been removed in the pre-chorus. Can hear Slash more on the wah and it's panned across speakers and the rest of the string arrangement is clearer when required. Axl sounds better but it's clipping at times.
Why was Tommy removed from the writing credits is my question.
Agree, but this was a leak. Lets see what comes next.
The Euro recording studio got pissed at the reaction when it became clear Axl and Slash were not into their mix. So they kicked the song out to the internet. Classy.
