tinyrobot Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I want to introduce this song to a friend of mine who has no clue about the "Chinese Democracy" album. I think Catcher is one of the best songs out of it and since it has no official video I can't do my magic.So I need your help, since you are all so much into YouTube stuff, to find a good video with the best performance of this song (the best Axl you had ever seen). And by best, I also mean footage that is good quality both visually and of course, audio. If its pro-shot or from some televised show, better.Don't point me out to full shows. I need only one song.Ok, now YOU do the magic.And thank you very much in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Never. I don't like raspy Catcher. Just listen to how off-key he goes on the second verse trying to push that out. Doesn't suit the song at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Why not show him the studio versions first? If its about having a video to watch, try slasherr's fan music video of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not to try Better, This I love, Chinese, Sorry?Because they are not "rocker" type and Catcher is beautiful, beatlesque, queenesque.Better is awesome but too hard-rock. This I love makes me depressed (but maybe I show them later the instrumental version). Chinese is bleh and Sorry is too long and ZzzZZzz for not gunners.Just gimme what I asked Why not show him the studio versions first?

Mendez Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 My apologies, I didn't realize you aren't able or are capable of sharing studio versions of songs through Facebook. Jeez,I need to get "wit" it and get "hip" as all these modern kids say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin2002 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Honestly, the best version of Catcher is the Brian May demo - that blew me away when I first heard it - the album version sucks thanks to BBFs wanky solos through the outro and the whole vibe is just different to the almost glam/Queen/Beatle-esq vibe the demo had.and I haven't heard a decent live version either - such a waste of song that had such great potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I was let down by the CD version too. I felt like it lost that "AM radio/1970s" ballad kinda feel.And I know why...it wasn't the production or the solos or any of that....it's cause the demo was from a low-fi source...likely a tape.It just sounded better in shittier quality. It lost its charm when it was digitized and cleaned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Diet Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, this is somewhat good. Axl over used the rapsy voice, but that's make the song good. (and his stage presents was cool at that night) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin' Cigarettes Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 This video Y'all are posting sounds pretty awful lol. There's not a great live version of this song honestly cause there's just too much going on in that song. If these videos are your friends first impression, he might jump through a window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefeet Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) It does have a semi-official video as this was posted on youtube, supposedly using video shot for use during concerts; it uses the album version though.It's a song IMO you should discover listening to the album version (maybe even the demo for curiosity sake) as there is so much going on that tends to get drowned in live performance. I hope the upcoming blu-ray will have a great version of it! Edited May 31, 2014 by Bumblefeet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
