highvoltage Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) As far as I'm concerned that's the 'Live Era' version of the song. Axl sounds absoloutely dreadful in it. On that newgnr website click the part where it's 'Axl's studio singing of Sweet Child'. I don't know how they got that but he does sound pretty damn good there.Um, dude - they got the studio part from the second half of the Big Daddy version....And it's definately not the version on Live Era. My theory is that the track is entirely "new Axl" singing - the vocals for the entire track are re-recorded. The backing music of the first half is a sped up recording of Paris '92, and the second half is all the new band studio.I'm pretty damn sure that i'm right too. It sounds like the studio Axl from the Oh My God era, IMO. He didn't really sing like that in the old days.EDIT: I agree with you about the way the song was often sung live, particularly on the Illusions tours - he never recaptured the original honestly and meaning behind the song. Often sounded like he was just "going through the motions" if you ask me. Some of the earlier performances are quite good though - you can tell he means what he's singing.

He sounds like Marilyn Manson or something at the 'Where do we go?' part. I couldn't believe what I was hearing - But it seemed like typical Axl with the sharp pointless intakes of breath.

It doesn't have the 'Where do we go' part on the 'Studio Clip' on Newgnr.com - I just heard that part there the now. Also I never said he sounded bad on that part he just sounds very odd... I'll give it another listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November_rain Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I´ve just heard the Big Daddy´s version for the first time! It´s not that bad although I prefer the original from AFD.I find it a bit odd, maybe when I get used to it I´ll like it more but for now I prefer the old one.

GNR'R Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) There was a new version of SCOM for the Big Daddy soundtrack. The first part of the song is "old GNR" playing live. The second part of the song is "new GNR" (circa 1999).If you have the Big Daddy version throw it on and have a good listen.Aaaanyway. You can download it from http://www.newgnr.com/dloads/audio/And the switchover point comes with the ascending run of notes, when the wah pedal kicks in.SGThe clip about the internet is hilarious!

It sounds like *I* could have mixed it on my PC, back when I was bad at mixing. "Hmmm... the vocals don't sound right... maybe I should add more reverb."

Guest Matt13 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Im guessing where Axl sings the different studio quality part of "Where do we go?" ???Instrumentally, yes. Axl lays his 'new' voice over the whole track though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Wow, the origional SCOM is so much better. Axl sounds more like Axl at the end of this one, I could have sworn the first part (before the solo) was my friend trying to sound like Axl.
