estrangedtwat Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The all piano "demo" is a fake created by a fan back in 2002 or so. We've discussed it in depth here. Absolutely not a demo; just a piano cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estrangedtwat Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Also would have been worth noting that the version on Live Era, while sourced from the Tokyo 92 show, same as the VHS/DVD releases, does indeed feature some newly recorded overdubbed vocals.

Drewdown Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Basically your favorite part of Estranged is all of it?! Jajaja, just playing. Well done as usual and as a Stern fan it was funny to hear that Ronnie makes an appearance. Hard to argue that this tune isn’t perfection in so many ways.

h2sublime Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I agree about Estranged being GNR’s best song. In fact, it is up there with my favorite songs from any band ever. Top 5 easy if not placed at 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy2 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Whoa, whoa, whoa stop the clock! Were you being serious about that being Ronnie Mund making a cameo in the video? I've been a huge Howard Stern fan since the early 1990's & I don't ever recall that being mentioned on the show. And I haven't missed many of Howard's shows in the past 3 decades.

I kept looking at the screenshot over & over and saying to myself that I guess it kind of looks like a younger Ronnie. That whole picture of Ronnie thing this week was very funny.

Silverburst80 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Estranged only gets better with time for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have found that playing the song on acoustic guitar really makes me appreciate the melody and melodic shifts a lot more than when I hear the released version. There is an innate beauty to the melody in connection to the lyrics that is a bit lost in production and in the longevity of the recorded version. Unfortunately, then I miss Slash's amazing lead guitar parts. You can't have it all. It really is a great song with some of Axl's best lyrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
