stanleyjp Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I love this version. Would probably die of happiness if he does it ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Axl only recorded verses for this one. If you listen closely at the end of "Knowing your love's decided and all love is "real" you hear the original line of "had" fade in and the chorus start.

PirateRadio Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 How's this: Don't cry (original) is one of my least favorite GNR songs; Don't Cry (alt.) is one of my favorites... Go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSSY78 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I love both versions but the alt is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Axl wrote the lyrics for both versions of Don't Cry. He has talked about how he came up with the alt. lyrics. Edited July 11, 2018 by Blackstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) On 2018-07-10 at 2:00 PM, Waemoth said: According to the UYI II booklet, these are the lyrics: If we could see tomorrow What of your plans No one can live in sorrow Ask all your friends Times that you took in stride They're all back in demand I was the one who's washing Blood of your hands ... I know the things you wanted They're not what you have With all the people talkin' it's driving you mad If I was standing by you how would you feel Knowing your love's decided And all love is real ... I thought I could live in your world As years all went by With all the voices I've heard Something has died And when you're in need of someone My heart won't deny you So many seem so lonely With no one left to cry to baby I prefer the lyrics themselves, less cheesy and more mature than the original, but that last "And when you in need of someone, My heart wont deny you, So many seem so lonely, With no one left to cry to baby.." is what makes the song far superior vocally.
