My Name is Trinity Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) With Steven on drums, Locomotive would have been as great as Rocket Queen !Is there a YCBM tape with Stevie on drums ?

niceguy Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I love this rehearsal tape. It really highlights how the band sounds much more like AFD when Steven is drumming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grouse Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Those locomotive drums, it just gives the umpf to the song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colossus of Rhodes Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 good find, thanks for sharing. here, like everywhere else where Steven is playing, the sound of bass drum and the other small drum is more acoustic, I guess it has to do with how drummer tunes in the instrument. nice!

31illusions Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I bought these on a demo CD about 10 years ago. Always loved them. Just goes to show that Matt (almost) plays what Steven wrote note for note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludurigan Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 terrific stuff===off subject, i am always amazed to notice how some (a lot?) of you guys have somewhat little knowledge of terrific unreleased GNR recordings (like this one)back in the day, pre internet, some of us would spend weeks (and months and years) and lots of dollars to dig the gold and get a hold of these unreleased recordingsi remember when a girl told me she had a friend that had a tape with some guns n roses songs that were not on any album and she just couldnt care less about it, but I forced this girl to force her friend to make a tape of those songs to mead i couldnt believe when she gave the tape and there were all these songs crash diet, bring it back home, sentimental movie etc etc and i was literally the only person that i knew that had those songswhen napster arrived, i literally spent months (very slow speed connection then) making sure that i would get my hands on every unreleased GNR recording that i could getnow it is all out thereeasy to grabwhich is great!...go get them, you wont be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passenger57 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I wonder if a demo of 'You Could be Mine' with Adler was ever recorded since it was written during the Appetite era. That song is hard to imagine without Sorum's mechanical style (which fits that song well)Would be cool to hear Adler's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
