Guest GHS Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What live SCOM version we have recorded that gets the closest to the studio version? I'm only considering Axl's voice here. I guess he only ventured the continued chorus (WOOOOooooooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhwwwwoooaaawooowww) in '86 concerts. And what about the "soft rasped" voice, with some clean (but very different from nowadays) timbers? I always thought that SCOM is the song that Axl sounds the most different than the studio version.Question 2: Is there any record of the first version of SCOM played live (Whiskey a Go Go, I think...)?Thanks!

He's done it so many times over so many years.Have you googled the first version? Going that far back to the first time they did it live it's quite likely it wouldn't be recorded - unless you know for sure it was. Hope someone can find it for you.

Haters Gonna Hate Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 There is a recording that never been released (i think) pretty sure Marc Carter has it(recklessroad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Question 2: Is there any record of the first version of SCOM played live (Whiskey a Go Go, I think...)?Marc Canter have it (audio & video), but not share it, for obvious reasons...The only song that surfaced from that show is Ain't going Down the only live performance of that song. This IS NOT the first version, this is from the Music Machine 1986. 09.13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock4eva Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 A quick look showed up some video on youtube, however some seem to dispute whether it was Whiskey a Go Go as the title said. SCOM wasn't on it & there are also some Hollywood Rose videos which look like they came from last year just to confuse things even more.Question 2: Is there any record of the first version of SCOM played live (Whiskey a Go Go, I think...)?Marc Canter have it (audio & video), but not share it, for obvious reasons...The only song that surfaced from that show is Ain't going Down the only live performance of that song.

GnR Chris Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's sad in a lot of ways Axl couldn't sustain the vocals he had goin' on around that period (1986). He was on fire. But who could possible harness that forever? I think Axl's worse periods vocally have been early part of 2000s and today actually. 2006 he was back.

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 This song was never really good live. I think it's because the album version was so extremely perfect, so when you compare to that, it just comes across as weak live. Same with Estranged. They both sucks live in comparison to the album versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both sucks live in comparison to the album versions.Isn't it like that with any song though? Unless you hear the live version first, then the album version doesn't seem as good.Don't think I've even heard Estranged on an album - only the live versions & I love it. Will I be disappointed hearing the recorded version?If The World I heard live over & over so when I first heard that on their album it kind of sounded "empty" .

Estranged and Sweet Child O' Mine are magically perfect on the album. They are really boring live in comparison to that. Most songs are better live than on the albums, in my opinion, but these two are the GNR songs that I think are way better on the album than they ever were live. If you haven't heard all GNR songs on the albums, I suggest that you take a listen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mECHsLAVE Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine (Halifax, 1988).This is my favorite live performance I've found of the song so far. Really loud, fluid, version with all the members flowing together as one. Powerful vocals by Axl also. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
