YouCouldBeMine_2029 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 New Member, First Post! Question... Does there exist a Demo of You Could be Mine with Adler on it Online? Watched him playing the Drums on Youtube to YCBM. Would love to hear what they would have sounded like back in the day playing it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Your best chance would be to wait for some kind of re-release of UYI I guess. If they go through with it (like with AFD in 2017), it'll be here next year. I'm kinda hoping for some pre Sorum demos as well. Edit: good username tho Edited September 17, 2020 by YOUCOULDBEMINE.

rocknroll41 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Supposedly a rehearsal demo of YCBM with Adler from 1989 exists, but it never leaked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaguns1982 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hopefully the oldest YCBM demo is from the Pre appetite sessions (1986?), I’d imagine it’s a very different song but the main riff would be intact minus Matt’s intro as Matt created that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that, interesting. Any Illusion Material Pre Matt with Adler on it that is Online is fun to listen to. Makes you think what GnR woud sound like with Adler during the Illusion Era.

Sweersa Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Civil War, album version has Adler on drums, correct? I heard they had to cut it together from several takes due to his substance abuse problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCouldBeMine_2029 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yeah he's on Civil War. When you read stories about his state of mind at the time during Recording of that song its Amazing to think they Managed to get it done.

I don’t think the album would’ve sounded that different... I don’t think I even realised that Adler drums on civil war for like the first ten years...

Gordon Comstock Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 They played the demo for a Kerrang journalist when they played the Marquee shows. When it was later released, the journalist called it something like "the same hard rocker, with slightly cooler guitars".@Blackstar could probably give more info. But yea, an AFD-era demo likely exists. Hopefully they include it (and any other demos/live songs with Adler) in the UYIbox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCouldBeMine_2029 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Ok. 1987, Wonder if they had it during the recording of AFD? YCBM on AFD....That would be Something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum For me, YCBM is such a quintessentially UYI sounding track (production wise) that I have a hard time imagining it with the dryer and less saturated AFD sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely had written at least some of ycbm whilst writing afd as some lyrics are in the afd booklet, one of their biography’s (slash,duff or Steven) names a bunch of pre afd songs, pretty sure perfect crime and ycbm were amongst them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks True. Love to hear it though. YCBM told the World in 1991 GnR still Kicked Ass. With Arnold!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Adler on 'You Could Be Mine' ? I'd buy that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Come to think of it, I dont think theres any guitar feedback on AFD?? YCBM has lots of feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 At one stage I'm sure people were saying they had heard the Adler demo of YCBM. Quite possibly bullshit of course, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's 'out there'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) On a related side note, Steven has been playing the song live in recent years and it is interesting hearing his take on it. That might be the closest we get to being able to imagine how the original Steven version could have been like, taking the UYI we know and imagining his drum parts over that Edited September 17, 2020 by WhazUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, I’d imagine an Appetite-era demo doesn’t exist, since both of the November Rain demos as well as Back Off Bitch were included in the AFD super deluxe. If a demo of YCBM existed from that era, wouldn’t that have made sense to be there also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats's 3 years before the UYI Recordings. Chicago Sessions maybe? If I ever met Axl in person lol, that would be my Question, did they ever Recorded it with Adler and where is it! We can only hope.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wrote YCBM in 1987 or earlier, but I think that the song was not intended to be released on AFD from the very beginning. November Rain, Bad Obsession and Back off Bitch were also released later.

There's AFD and Lies demos that didn't make the AFD box, and I don't think the inclusion of Nov Rain or Back Off Bitch means they included all the early UYI stuff. Plus the Nov Rain demos had been floating around forever, and I'm sure they'll include more demos (like Axl's Advance Copy) on a UYI box set. All the evidence suggests an AFD-era demo exists - Slash's book, the Kerrang article, the lyrics on the AFD sleeve, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
