ferma Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 So I'm listening to Mott and 'Dudes comes on and it hit me that sonically Catcher takes a lot of cues from this track, sorta like bits of Zep's Rover influences the outtro of Rocket Queen. Anyone agree? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Interesting connection.Still, 'Dudes' is a million times better than Catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I hear Hey Jude but Dudes is similar kind of thing with soaring feel. Both are jukebox classics. The Na Na Na part is very Hey Jude. But the song seems more like White album or Exile style. It's like OIAM meets Hey Jude. Catcher is a strange song, on the surface it's pretty nice but if you think about it it's pretty messed up.

It's a great latter day GNR song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfriend Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Still pissed they ditched Brian May on the released version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Still pissed they ditched Brian May on the released version.But actually May didn't like the solo they patched together from the 3 solos he did? So it's a shame they didn't get a full solo from him but it just didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Song has potential. Execution leaves a lot to be desired, especially Axl's vocals, and the verses are kind of boring, sort of nursery rhyme-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Coma Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Love catcher! I think his new Vocs worked on this song song perfectly (they don't on some tunes definitely) I can't really hear catcher with full on harsh 92 or 2010 rasp idk maybe..

Subtle Signs Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Catcher is my favorite song on Chi Dem. I'm glad I was able to hear it live a few times. Count me in the camp of those who'd have preferred the Brian May solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 May's solo is beautiful. The lead guitar part in the end of the outro as well. His work on the demo is great. Axl and his engineer dude (caram?) have done a good job putting it together but hey...you know what? he's completely nuts so we no use it cause big bad brian was mean. No, no... we no use it now.

Gackt Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Catcher's very catchy, and the outro solo is one of the best on the album. Only gripe is the wall of guitars tone doesn't work well with the song.I can see the comparison though, it's a very 70's-style rocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I love Ron's outro solo but May's solo before the ordinary day part should've stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no... we no use it now.Brian didn't like his solo according to Axl?I'm not sure Axl's bit about made sense but I think that's what he was saying. So it's not like they ripped out May's solo that he loved, he had should some bad feeling towards it and what he actually played as a separate solo(s) didn't work. So I guess if May wanted it he could have said it's great, then they would have used it?I wonder Catcher was one of the songs offered to Slash as part of that deal? I would guess The Blues, TWAT, Catcher would work great with Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
