sweetdudejim5 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I was shitting myself (not serious for those waiting to talk smack) waiting to hear this other version of "This I Love" and I gotta say, wasn't that impressed. His vocal style on the album version makes much more sense than this one. And I bet if this version had come out instead of the one we all know (and in my case, love) and then this one leaked we'd all be happy that Axl toned down his histrionic vocals on this version and that the song rightly got the "November Rain" treatment it deserved with strings and guitar solo. So yeah, Axl got this one right in 2008. Just my opinion. I also gotta say, even though the rasp is a big part of what makes Axl's vocals great, I think some here fetishize it to a ridiculous extent, even praising it when it's used in places where it doesn't fit (like this version of "This I Love").

Whoever worked on this remix (Brain?), grabbed previously recorded tracks (vocal take 472926373), added their own stuff and voila! I understand that. But I'm just saying that many people may just be excited cuz its new to them. And after the dust settles they may realize that the other one is much better.

DieselDaisy Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) The album version is truly horrendous. I cannot believe that I actually like this. It just demonstrates that a production can bugger up a song. Yes, the music has been done with a casio keyboard but listen to that vocal!

Jackie Chan - not confirmed, it's just a guess that DJ Razz had more than the leaked excerpt The General - sort of confirmed, there's a very low quality cellphone recording that comes from some VIP listening party, about 2 minutes long, including parts of Silkworms and The General. based on what I know, the quality is shit and not much can be judged from parts of an unfinished song - there's some guitar solo and vocals, but the quality is so bad that no lyrics can be recognized, only vocal melody. but it exists, confirmed to me by multiple people (I don't have it) Edited June 13, 2018 by zombux 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 4 hours ago, tremolo said: But if all the talk surrounding CD is true, it would be a way more exciting release than the AFD crap box that has nothing really exciting in terms of music. The musical content of a CD box would be worth some good bucks. It was what... 15 years of creative roll. That’s where the value is at, not in temporary tattoos. I just think the stigma around the lime up decreases its appeal. But maybe that won’t matter. A deluxe edition might happen eventually. But some material still seems in the mix for a real album.

I don’t think it will ever happen, maybe the closest will be an album with some of those songs re-recorded with slash and duff. Yeah it’s obviously hard to release CD era stuff on the Slash and Duff reunion tour. rec companies are logical. I think even with the 1k AFD boxset if they sell 1,000 copies that’s more than a cd will make? So maybe UYI boxset, CD boxset is a valid option for rec company.

RussTCB Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I've only listened to the remix once knowing advance that my biggest gripe was going to be the missing solo. I wasn't totally loving the vocals like I thought I would either. Overall, I'd say I'm happier with the album version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stro Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I like the phrasing and melody of the vocals better on the remix, I can agree the vocals as they are probably wouldn't fit particularly well with the album track but whatever. I'd like to hear the vocal track to the remix over the album version anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
