Null vote. The piano demo is my favorite.

If you post something on youtube.....it's not Rare anymore. When will the internet learn

It's hard to really say one is better than the other, tbh. The studio version is so intrinsically linked to my youth, my experiences really getting into this band, part of general pop culture, etc. The demo is lovely, though. I feel the same way about the "Yesterdaze" demo -- if they had ever released it officially, even as a B-side to the single or something, I think it would have impressed a lot of people. It's a nice contrast to the accusations of the studio cuts being over-produced, excessive, etc.

I really like the studio version. But every now and then I find myself pulling up the piano only demo and listening to it. Relaxing especially on a rainy day.

Yeah, the Demo has that raw un-tampered feel, that I like.

Wasn't this acoustic demo on some vinyl bootleg?

[T.wa.T]

I had the acoustic demo before the studio version, so I've always liked that one better. Mainly because it's so stripped down and Axls vocals are great on it.

[Guest cbgnr666]

I like both.However if the demo was released instead of the studio cut,NR would not have been the hit it was.

[rockerman]

ill just keep walking again and again and again and again.

studio \m/()\m/

[EvH]

I want a symphonic version.

It was the first time I listened to this demo version, still, I'm not a big fan of NR.

Studio version, I think.

[SR_GR]

The demo version is nice and fresh in a way. I would really like to hear the same

without the backup singing and with a better quality recording.

I like the recorded version as well, but I think it would just be interesting to have more

than one official or professionally recorded version available.

[Rovim]

I enjoy the demo version, but I prefer the studio version. Mainly cause Slash's guitar parts in this song are truly epic and the song feels incomplete without them to me.

Can you add the option of NR from the Skin N' Bonez part of the UYI Tours? To me that gives the best of both.
