Estranged Reality Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Yesterdays vs.Yesterdaze I'm honestly just curious to see what people think. I'm not sure I've ever seen a topic where they've been directly compared.I have a strong affinity for the final studio cut, but man, the acoustic version is killer. That, coupled with the acoustic November Rain, gives me a tantalizing idea of what a stripped-down Illusions may have sounded like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I agree that a more raw sounding Use Your Illusion probably coulda been cool, but we got worked out pretty well too.Hard for me to pick which Yesterdays I like better. It's like apples and oranges, really. Tho I guess at the moment Id go with the acoustic demo since I've listened to it less often and it therefore sounds a bit more fresh to me.There's also a really cool live version from 1988 that sounds even more different drom both of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-W.A.R- Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 both are really goodacoustic one has a more "wholesome" feel but the on UYI is the better overall version imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Axl's singing of the chorus in the Live Era version is among his best. Yesterdays was never one of my favourite GNR singles but it's become more poignant over the years and would now be a highlight of a reunion tour with the photos from the video displayed behind the band.

estrangedtwat Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Is that Yesterdaze demo from the same session as Just Another Sunday, etc? Sounds like it. As in, not really a true GNR demo, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illusionone Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I love the version of Yesterdays from the UYI Q Sound and Rough Mix Tracks. They are closer to the album version but have a raw stripped down feel to them. Does anybody have the DEMO from the OP that they can share. I like it Yesterdays Q Sound HEREYesterdays Rough Mix HERE Edited October 17, 2015 by illusionone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Album version. Dizzy has his benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Album version was done very well. I love how the live version has more of that raw rasp where the album is much cleaner. I think they contrast well. When Axl did the Hartline interview in 91 or whatever the radio guy mentions a Beatle influence to the song and Axl tells him that it wasn't the intention but now that he points it out he can hear it. I just think it's a great tune to listen to, I never change it if it pops up on my playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want Axl, the frontman who's supposed to be getting the crowd going, sat at the keys for every song that has a piano track?

Johnny Drama Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 No, that can be/could have been Dizzy. Dizzy, the touring member, not Dizzy who was brought into the band to play piano by Axl but then plays on all the shit that's not Axl's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amacfantasy Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 It's really hard to compare rough unfinished low quality versions of the song with a studio version those other versions Ive always found interesting though but I still prefer the studio version which Ive always found to be a perfect example of a short and sweet song.I'm always interested in hearing different takes on GNR songs most notably I always wonder about acoustic versions including a lot of Chinese songs in this.It has been a while since I listened to Live Era and yeah that Yesterdays is sweet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
