1988GNR

Last week I read Slash was coming to my backyard. Some people may know Steve Irwin, (or for the young readers, his daughter Bindi Irwin) who started Australia Zoo but died from a stingray several years ago. His Dad owns a bit of land too and was launching a wildlife foundation. Apparently him and Slash are good buddies, both being snake lovers. So with Slash in town for some gigs, he attended the foundation launch.

here's the newspaper article...http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/bob-irwin-gets-a-rock-star-hand-at-foundation-launch-20120822-24mf7.html

i have the pdf for nov rain. just pm me. and i have this i love too actually

thanks for that link and all replies so far. Even though I started learning a few weeks ago I printed a copy of Sweet Child to try the intro. I had different notes to the one on the , I think downloaded from sheetzbox.com (the site is currently down). That started with RH: DDAG GAFA across two octaves, and for my experience pretty hard to do (although when I did get the fingering close I did sound sort of ok). Will keep practising both versions, see which one sounds closest to the real thing.

BTW anyone who could confirm this is genuine GNR/Axl? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLpbijqEg4U Sounds good and pretty accurate.

And this guy is pretty good

As for KOHD, as a teen I spent quite a bit of money on bootlegs (sorry for ripping GNR off) and by the time UYI came out I was over KOHD and it wasn't the best version around. I'd have to check specific dates and places, but believe some awesome live versions were done in the late eighties at places like CBGB and Ritz. But you are right, the version you posted is pretty good. It was always a live song best for a good sing-a-long. But the intro this video is not KOHD, that does not start to about 2:06. The section before that was played live several times in the early nineties, as intro to several songs.

Hi, new to the forum. Apologies if posted to the wrong section; if so please just move and provide link so I can find it back.

My online name refers to when I was first introduced to GNR; I saw a news flash about Donington with some music, checked it out on MTV and got hooked. I saw them live in Paris 92 and again in Brisbane for the Chinese Democracy tour. Fav songs would have to be Estranged, Coma, The Garden (prefer demo versions more than UYI), Don't Damn Me and the oldest version of November Rain (depending on mood and time of life, no particular order), also very much enjoy some of the more 'eclectic' stuff never officially released (Too Much Too Soon is great and think most covers done by GNR are better than originals).

Recently bought a piano (upright, sorry no room for a grand and at those prices the wife would not let me stand on it anyway, with or without a Les Paul). Looking for quality piano sheet music of GNR songs. I have been looking around but am aware that they often are a mix of vocal/backing usually arising from simply listening to the recording. On most songs would prefer backing notes only. In particular to those listed above.

cheers
