November Rain acoustic

Hi Marc

this seems like the best version of NR out there

were you around this time or deep knowledge of this version

what are your thoughts on it?

[recklessroad]

Yes I was around it was done in May of 1986 at Sound City studios. The band was making a quick 2 day demo of all their songs. NR was a song that Axl already had before GNR and I have heard him fooling around with it back in 1984. It was very cool to hear both versions that the band recorded on that demo. I always thought that if nothing else that the song would end up in a movie soundtrack for a big movie even if the band never made it. What was cool about this version is I think they did it on the fly

I remember getting this version on a bootleg cassette that I ordered from the back of Circus magazine in like 1991. Ahh, those were the days... Everything is so accessible these days that it kinda takes the excitement out of things.

I did the same thing, probably around 1993.. Still got the tapes.

Very beautiful rendition. Thanks for sharing. Am glad that it ended up being the epic video it became!

I had a cassette of those demos too. Listened to it all the time. They should put some of that material together in some type of box set.

I remember having this on some vinyl bootleg. Of course, the person who did the tracklisting was a total fucktard and labeled it "Sweet Lorraine".
