I liked the "new" part of it quite a lot ;) 

I respect your opinion, but I kind of feel the same with the TIL Remix. It's such a 'forced' rasp on Axl's behalf. I'm more of a fan of how he sounds in the Better verses or the Angel Down stuff. Music wise, I'm not throwing up in my mouth hearing Robin's re-imagined SCOM solo, but the original is so hard to beat. Cheers.

I never said which one I prefer to listen to. I just said I liked that different approach :)

Yeah I agree that TIL remix vocals don't suite the song at all. Just rasping because he could. 

For me, easily the best Axl's work I have heard from him ever, period. Goosebumps every fucking time. And to think THIS has been shelved...

This thread just got bumped from last year, the post of mine you quoted was from last June :lol: But no, none of AFD99 has leaked. In the past few weeks we’ve gotten Hard School (I.e. Checkmate), Atlas Shrugged, Silkworms 1999-ish, a different version of Going Down, and a bunch of 1999-2000 versions of songs that made the album. 

Oh man, I didn't realize your post was that old.

Glad you enjoy it. I loved the live version in 2010 with full rasp & great attitude, but the remix- recording just sounds too sterile and forced to my ear. I don't know,  but maybe it's the production by Caram too. Always very cold. A big contrast compared to the Clink produced vocals of the past. 😁

Three?

Older one and newer Bumble...Is there another?

Original with just Tommy singing (which leaked a few weeks ago), the one with Bumblefoot (leaked in 2013), and the one labeled “2002 version” which was pre-bumble but after Axl and others had already added their parts (leaked last year)... or was that fanmade? Even if it was, it’s still my favorite version.

I have 2 and I have no clue which 2 they are. One of the 2 has guitars turned up a bunch

See above.

Pretty sure one of three was fanmade, or maybe an artificial fold-down, but, despite being a long-time poster here, my GN'R knowledge has atrophied.  I could be mistaken. 

These leaks are the only thing that has re-kindled any interest whatsoever in years.

I think they just mean the 99 Tommy demo, this 2002 version, and the bumble version.

Yeah that’s what I meant.

The Bumble version, and the 2002 are the exact same version. The 2002 is just minus Bumbles track.

Correct. I still prefer it without bumble tho. I like his contributions to the songs that actually made it onto the album, but I don’t like his contributions on OMG, Going Down, or Silkworms.

I think you’re right that it was fanmade. Sometimes the fanmade shit is the best shit, tho.

Oh ok, I prefer 2002 because I think Bumble ruins the track. The 2002 version minus Bumble breathes a little more.

Agree on Going Down as that's supposed to be a Stonesy song that doesn't need what Bumble does. I actually like what Bumble did on OMG and Silkworms, those songs needed his punch and wackiness.

How many versions are there, that have leaked, of this song?

2 - the 2013 leak with BBF in one channel and everything else in the other, this one had Axl on backing vocals. Then there’s the 99 or so version that leaked a couple weeks ago with no Axl. This “02 version” is just a doctored version of the 2013 leak with the BBF channel removed and the rest of the band doubled to both channels.

Thanks. That's what I thought.
