Flayer Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I never found out about Alice Cooper's part on The Garden until I perused the "additional personnel" on the album notes, and I'd always thought the verses he sings were just Axl using another of his low voices. Anyone else make the same mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR Chris Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 People here will act like smartasses, but yeah, I believe in the demo they thought Axl sounded so much like Alice in parts of the song they figured why not go out and get Alice to sing on them. I think that's the story. So for you to think it was Axl doesn't seem so far-fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 When I first heard the song when UYI was first released I almost jizzed my pants when i heard that voice. Kinda hard not to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Alice was a few years into his comeback when he teamed up with Axl for the Decline II movie. Slash wound up on Alice's live "Fistful" CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailaway Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 it's pretty fucking hard not to notice ol' Vincent on the Garden.you do know he doesnt even like his own mom to use the vincent furnier tag. He said recently that nobody would dare call Sir Elton 'Reggie'.A.C. is a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill Devil Hill Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I was born in the '90s and I knew that!But I can see how the mistake can be made, in all honesty. It's not like the song is talked about a ton on these boards. Which is a real shame. It's one of my favorite tunes on the Illusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunko12345 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Goes to show I'm not an 80s kid.Check out Under My Wheels by Alice, it has Axl singing in it.And also check out Along Came A Spider, Slash is amazing on that one.In fact I think I prefer solo Slash on other peoples projects. When they just give him a song and tell him to just stick his Slash on it. Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, dare I say it Axl Rose (estranged, NR)The guy is a fucking monster, he'll take a good song and take it to a whole other level of brilliance.Pu WOOOOOOoooooooooooow. Pu WOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooowwwwwwwwww. PU Diddlydiddlydiddlydiddlydiddlydiddly PUWaaarrrrooooooowwwwweeeew. Beautiful solos.I may have been drinking tonight.

Dariablue Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Not being an Alice Cooper fan, I was always curious to know which parts he sing and which parts Axl sings since they sound so alike.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7QTXXFD2A8 Around the 1:25ish mark, right?
