Euchre Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 So I was listening to the youtube clip of Adler playing YCBM at the Roxy because well its the only live clip of Adler playing the song & I think its awesome. At the end youtube follows on with the next video and I'm listening to YCBM again, but completely different. Turns out its a show where Izzy comes out with the band which is kind of cool so I keep listening. Anyway, I couldn't believe how different the two versions were. The Adler clip reminds me more of the original Guns vibe....yet needless to say crowd is a lot smaller. I couldn't really get into the London version the same way. Made me wish they could somehow get past it all and get the OG 5 back and just make it the best band possible.....keen to hear what others think of the contrast.

When I look at Rose from that era I'm reminded of either (coked-up) David Crosby or The Laughing Cavalier, 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euchre Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 The 10 seconds from about the 4:15 mark in the first clip sums it all up....its just not there on the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Seems like a really long winded way to get people to listen to a GNR tribute band and say they have a "GNR vibe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the versions sound quite different and I think the difference in interpretations is interesting, and would like to know others views. I don't think either sounds the way it would have if we ever heard a version of the original band playing it, which I assume they must of at some point. But hearing the original drum line side by side with the modern take to me highlights the contrast, and to me the feel is really different.

GuitarFanfromNYC Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 You can't really hear the drum line in the second clip so no idea how it compared. But, I can say Steven was kicking butt in the first clip of YCBM. Really driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiscool Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Steven actually managed a for bit of the illusions stuff in rehearsals. I think it was the mates studio outtakes (bootleg name if I recall) where he played on a fair bit of illusion stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
