Vincent Vega Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) YCBM was written during the AFD era, possibly even before AFD was out. The chorus is given at the end of the liner notes of AFD. I was wondering, do you ever recall the band working on it with Adler while he was in the band, did you ever hear them play it before Matt was in the band?Did it sound any different, did it have the drum intro that it has on the record? Were any of the rehearsal tapes of YCBM with Adler ever recorded? Is it just on some demo/rehearsal tape that's never surfaced?I ask because I think a version of YCBM with Adler on drums, rawer than the album version, would be sort of a Holy Grail for AFD lineup fans, and I'm curious if anything like that even exists, if they ever did YCBM while he was in the band?A tape of Slash/Izzy/Duff rehearsing Garden of Eden, Don't Damn Me and Locomotive with Adler from 1989 surfaced called The Mates Rehearsal...So if YCBM existed outside of an idea I'd be surprised if they didn't rehearse it with Steven around this period or earlier.....And if YCBM did exist outside of an idea or riff in the AFD era, how come it wasn't released on AFD?

recklessroad Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 There may be a demo of it. and I'm sure it would be cool but Matt's drums are very strong in the song the way it is on the record so it's hard to imagine it any differently. I never heard it with Steven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It was penned during pre-production of Appetite, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUnderScott Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Cool question Vincent Vega. If there was a version with Steve on it then that would be great to hear. But I gotta agree with Marc - Matt's drums and intro are really unique and cool and I enjoy the fact that the drums somehow separates it from other GnR tracks in general...

John Doe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 That and Back Off Bitch are the only songs which seem to be Steven playing - You can hear the difference in it, obviously, but the parts seems a lot more like Stevens style of playing than Matt's.
