I really love this version. It's so pure, with no other instruments, only piano and Axl, who shares so much pain and other feelings with us in this song...
Lots of people don’t know that Axl Rose was working on November Rain as far back as 1985/86. When GnR would travel to different hotels after their first album dropped and they gained some popularity, Axl would go into the lounges of some of the hotels, find the piano and practice and rework the song until it was just right. This was the demo Axl cut with Izzy and would eventually turn into what would come in 1991 with the Use Your Illusion I album.
AndresStopmo Thats not the real guns n roses, thats just a corporate shit polished to resemble their original form. Although they sound amazing the pure and raw energy has dissapeared
*Lyrics to this early masterpiece:* When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But when I'm holding you Don't you know I feel the same But nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change 'Cause it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain, oo yeah But love is always coming and love is always going And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time To lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me Then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain Do you need some time, on your own Do you need some time, all alone Everybody needs some time On their own, ooh Don't you know you need some time, all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart, ooh When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain, oo yeah But love is always coming and love is always going And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time To lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me Then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain So I'll just keep on walkin' Oo, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again And I know But I'll just keep on walkin' Again and again and again and again and again and again and again, oo yeah So if you want to love me Then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just keep up walkin' In the cold November rain
Duff and producers said that when Axl shows them this version they all stand there with open mouth 😮 was on another level, that's the difference between bands like Motley Crüe or other bands from 80's that don't have that piece of classical music. They play amazing rock and roll but with an extra condiment
This is such a beautiful thing! Oh my god, axl's playing piano so good. Very very beautiful and rare and full of emotion. I love it. Best solo piano ever
Love it. So natural. Dry voice, shaky timing. Like at night after a party or in the kitchen between cooking or so. These can be the beginnings of sth great. Wich it obviously was! This classical touch on this piano!👌
Es una lastima cuando pensamos que obras musicales como está, como la música mágica de los 80 y 90 no volverán... Los GnR siempre estuvieron en otro nivel y está pieza lo demuestra, podrán decir que Axl está loco y pueda ser cierto pero musicalmente es un genio y November Rain lo demuestra, la canción más personal, la que más tiempo le costó y hasta en su versión más cruda sigue siendo perfecta.
@YASSER BARRAGAN te contare un dato curioso,axl queria que la cancio0n se base unicamente en piano pero cuando despues de años volvio a retomar en el proyecto inconcluso ni a slash y ni a duff le agradaron la idea por decia que ellos era una banda de hard rock por lo tanto tendria que haber un balance y es asi como conocemos esta gran pieza musical del rock,o mejor dicho la use your trilogy,osea don't cry,november rain y estranged
Beautiful. I used to listen to UYI every day in the 90s and couldn't really enjoy NR and DC in particular at some point because I listened to it too often, but this version made me appreciate the song again. Thank you for posting it.
Agreed, the band as in the AFD band was the best imo. They lost something when they got a new drummer & added a keyboard player. Plus they hired countless studio musicians playing various instruments on many songs after AFD. Nothing against anybody added. The band alone was just raw & enough alone. Everything after AFD was too much imo. It's like taking a good steak & throwing all kinds of stuff on it. Not needed
@@marinadiamondz I do think the band has more skill from experience on UYI. They had became better musicians but that doesnt trump them being poor & desperate on AFD. UYI doesn't convey that same feel. Also they didnt have access to a live orchestra on AFD. Once they got unlimited power & resources they went off the track on several songs in UYI. The band themselves & a good studio engineer was all they ever needed. AFD had a formula. Bad ass guitars, drums, bass, & Axl starting low & ending high every song. Tht formula worked on damn near every song. UYI is all over the place. I'd say the multi-instruments helped on Dont Cry & a few others. Otherwise it & the overall experimental nature made it a lesser album. I will concede certain things like how Slash's solo comes in on Estranged shows they had actually improved as artists & gained more skill. BUT it's certainly not as good overall as AFD. It's not even close. The cheesy chants on Get In The Ring sound lame asl now. That's UYI in a nutshell. Brilliant & equally horrible moments.
@@BIGLARRY100 You obviously don't know much about the band. I inform you that axl is the one who wanted something different from AFD, if they wanted they could make an album like that again, the question is that, that is not what they really want. But in case it's like you say, then you have to understand that they also had a lot of pressure since the first album was perfect. In terms of success I'd say they didn't do too badly with UYI so that would leave your opinion unpopular.
Something I thought I'd point out to y'all about this version (You gotta be a good listener or musician to notice this) In the studio version of 1992, the chord progression for the verses is F - Dm - C, and then Dm - G - C, so in the studio version it would follow the lyrics: But darling when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same, nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change But in this version there's a little subtlety to point out here. So in the first chord progression F-Dm-C, when he sings "but when I'm holding you, don't you know I feel the same" He plays the same chords as the studio version, but when transitioning from the F major to D minor, he keeps his right hand on the F major chord, but his left hand plays the D minor bass note. What's the purpose of noticing this? When he plays the Dm in the second chord progression (Dm - G - C or just before he sings "nothing lasts forever..") it sorta has more depth and meaning since this is the actual Dm chord whereas in before, it was a F/Dm combo. Listen to these parts of the song again, and you'll notice it and hopefully appreciate it more =D
My god, this the height of his power in singing. What a soulful take. Is this all one take? I’ve been signing for many years and this is so rare to find someone who can do this with their voice.
Today I just now heard this version. Heard this song for the first time in the early 90s. I'm almost 60 now and I wish I paid more attention to them then. Damn this version is FIRE 🔥!!!
its always this one song, it gives me this emotion i cant really describe. i guess its kinda like emptiness, but at the same time acceptance and at peace. man this version beats any other ❤️
I had some friends that lived in LA at that time. They brought me back this version recorded on a casstte tape. 6 - 8 months before Use your Illusion was released. I always liked this better than the studio version. In fact I had a hard time getting used to the studio version because I listen to this so much.
The purest, most crystalline and most moving version of NR (of which I knew the existence of a pirated version) that I have waited for over 30 years. Absolutely *heartbreaking* . This is *HISTORY* ❕
I have been a GNR fan since the beginning and this is the first time I have ever heard this version and it is really awesome to hear the talent of the band in this version
The main difference from this version to the original is that the most optimistic verse wasn't written yet in 1986, which is: "And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, oh yeah I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain"" Instead, there is this verse that shows he is still trying just to move on: "So I'll just keep on walking Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and I know, I'll just keep on walking Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again" Which makes the demo song sound more hopeless and sad than the original version. And even more pungent and sad and beautiful.....
My love life is in all kinds of shambles and this comment made me the farthest thing from okay. This has been my favorite song for 15 years and this just hit a whole new perspective for me.
So much pain in Axl you can hear it in the piano. Love hurts and then makes beautiful things out of the hurt! " if you want to love me then darling don't reframe " GNR
This is the best version of this I have ever heard. I think the piano and Axl's vocals make it more emotional. Although I LOVE Slash's solo and overall guitar playing on the released version, this is how Axl intended it to be. Man how talented is that guy, to play the piano and sing like that at the same time??? Incredible.
man, I love hearing that man play piano. His playing speaks to my heart in ways I can't describe. I got the pleasure of seeing them live last year up at the Gorge, and honestly, it's the best concert I've been to. That day was also the first time I smoked weed, so that was fun. 10/10 would go again. Love you guys, your music has helped me through a lot. I hope you have a safe flight home, and that you enjoy your vacation. Can't wait for the next time there's a concert near me again.
I bought the super deluxe boxset without hesitation. I have been waiting for this version to come out in the best quality since I heard it in a bootleg format at first time in 1999. This is beyond what I really expected. Thank you GN'R, my best r&r band forever.
And again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and I know -Axl Rose. Reason why I love Axl Rose only he can make this verse beautiful. Keep on rocking Guns N Roses.
i don't think the current pioneers of music and the current listeners will ever be able to grasp why this song is so important. In any form this song is nothing short of pure magic.
Concordo com tudo oque você falou mas o que mais me surpreende é você ta viva mesmo tendo casado com essa musica ksksksk (se lembra do clip vai entender)
I love it and its emotional this original 1986 version is a classic masterpiece just like 1991 version and the thing I will always cherish for the rest of my life is that when this video of November rain was on mtv it was like it became a big part of my rock n roll upbringing I was 11 years old enjoying this with my elder brother , and I miss my elder brother so much because he is not physical anymore 1977 - 1997 but I know he is alive for eternity and his spirit is with everywere I go in life , what happened to my elder brother is personal that I don't like share ing with everybody in guns n roses youtube vevo and I am sorry every so I always want to dedicate this beautiful hardrock masterpiece to my elder always and forever the only that makes me smile with a bittersweet feeling is that my elder loves guns n roses and I still have the guns n roses poster and guns n roses is the greatest hardrock band of all time , I am and my elder brother and sister are guns n roses fan for life
Solamente los guns podían superar la versión más conocida. Después de mucho escucharla, llego a la conclusión que esta es mejor. Una es perfecta, la otra es PERFECTA
Sara Depp Esta es la mejor canción del mundo pero en vivo no pasa la prueba, espero que saquen los Box de los Ilusión I & II y escuchar November Rain solo en orquesta, todo relacionado a este canción es una obra maestra.
Una de mis personas favoritas en el universo. El último rockstar de la historia. Después de él se rompió el molde y yo na hubo otra estrella en el rock.
Axl should play it this way every once in a while, obviously Slash would do his solos and then at the very end the whole band comes in for the full firework outro. Would be pretty great!
heaneybrian fuck yeah man, my brother bought Chinese democracy a week early and we ripped it outta respect for previous demos and the likes, would love to see a " live with gnr " broadcast where they play everything. Fan favourites, covers, rares, even shitty Chinese democracy
I've loved them since I watched him step off that bus in LA in Welcome to the jungle on MTV. They were the last of the real rock bands. Axl I just want you to know I had a life size poster of you in my room for most of my 20s. From one red head from indiana to another 💜
Carlos Alberto Velázquez Zúñiga pero de donde es? No entiendo el contexto de estas grabaciones De Welcome to The jungle también publicaron una version que sonaba mas casera
Exacto hace años circula esta canción como bootleg, nada nuevo pero la calidad de sonido extremadamente superior , si así se escucha en UA-cam no me quiero imaginar como sonara en vinilo ...
creo que los que de verdad seguimos a Guns, sabemos que realmente no hay nada nuevo en el disco, nada inedito como se decía, lo cierto es que si esta remasterizado ese material, (lo mismo con el vídeo de "It so easy") yo tengo un disco llamado "make my day" ahi viene esta versión y otras 14 canciones grabadas así, pero en el disco dice que es del 91" quizá es el disco no la grabación.... en fin, lo importante es que esta rolando la música de GNR,,
Wow I can't believe this was recorded in 1986! Simply amazing...just so damn gorgeous and epic, definitely their stairway to heaven...was a local band here in LA California unknown at this time! Now just add Slash's DUAL guitar solos and its a complete masterpiece ;) thank you for this VEVO
I hear this versión again and again, and again, and again, and again
Oooooo yeaaa
This is my fav. version of November Rain :)
I knew it cos Tracii said it in an interview i read years ago.
@@kerenolivero7097 yeah its beautiful

This prototype version is still better than most songs nowadays..

Axl Rose thank you for writing this.
Damn hell it is!!
I dont think its a prototype version
Ojalá ya fueras el real😔😔☹️
This piano version is a masterpiece for itself.Two instruments, the piano and Axl's gorgeous voice are more than enough.
so pure, so innocent , so full of heart. axl wherever you are, i am thanking you for this masterpiece. always. this is remedy, this is everything.
My goodness. This version is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
someone else listen this song on 2024? Yes I do

*Lyrics to this early masterpiece:*
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But when I'm holding you
Don't you know I feel the same
But nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
'Cause it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, oo yeah
But love is always coming and love is always going
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time, on your own
Do you need some time, all alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own, ooh
Don't you know you need some time, all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart, ooh
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, oo yeah
But love is always coming and love is always going
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
So I'll just keep on walkin'
Oo, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
And I know
But I'll just keep on walkin'
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again, oo yeah
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just keep up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Nn,
Bien
Again and again axl sos el mejor

only one word:unachievable..Nothing last forever but this song,these lyrics,this music,this piano and this VOICE surely will.God bless you,Axl.
Axl’s voice was so powerful. Hits you like a sledgehammer to the heart.

@@davidescamilla2446 hhhhhellllllll no haha
Both are good singers, but Axl is much better, both as a singer and as a songwriter.
I can't be the only one who prefers this to the original.
You're not the only one (never better said)
@@idontknowhowtoscream ahaa i see what you did there ;)
@@idontknowhowtoscream briliantly put in here! 😀👏👏👏❤️
You're certainly not one in a million
the piano being the focus and axl’s voice just brings out the emotion. it’s so beautiful
My God the chills i get by those vocals....
I got it from the first piano chord already...
Especially when you're sitting near the window with cigarette and it's heavily raining outside
Jerry Cantrell God damn queerest comment ever
gnrdeadman right
2nd queerest comment in all of mankind

This is such a beautiful thing! Oh my god, axl's playing piano so good. Very very beautiful and rare and full of emotion. I love it. Best solo piano ever
Hes been playing since he was little boy
Setuju
Kurt could never do something like this.
Why even mention that bum in the same breath as axl?
November Rain in its final form sure is a master piece. Glad they really waited and perfected this masterpiece!
Love it. So natural. Dry voice, shaky timing. Like at night after a party or in the kitchen between cooking or so.
These can be the beginnings of sth great.
Wich it obviously was!
This classical touch on this piano!👌
Thank god ordinary listeners like me dont give a shit about timing :) yeah his voice is so raw here much better than the album version

"Coma" también le ha costado muchísimo. Es una canción compleja con respecto al género, tanto en lo musical como en lo lírico. Dicho por Axl.
Si es un gran comentario nada que agregar es una gran pieza...... aún como dices en crudo
Locomotive tambien le costo mucho y es un rolon Axl descargo todas sus tristesas y frustrasiones en November rain , estranged , coma y locomotive

Axl had the most amazing unique voice! Legendary.

@@sadsalidhalskdjhsald Woosh
@@eliseoblunck5109 You just hit the right spot, people don't realize Izzy was the backbone of Guns
@Stoowerd Glad you agree, fellow Belieber 👍
Axl is genious. The song was written 100% only by him. And I never know, how he made such so AMASING SONG.
yep.. but he didn't played the fukin guitar solos
Luciano Goyenechea Agree, but he is not guitarist at all.
i mean that slash is vital in the final cut of the song..
Luciano Goyenechea - Or the awesome bass line!
The drums and rythm guitar too...
All these guys are legends!
Slash said in his book he was forced to make epic solos and didn’t receive credit
izzy background vocals were always very important for this band and very underrated
So true....backing vocals do a lot n very impressive
i love Izzy's voice, that's is
I tought its Duff on backup, sounds more like him
Is Izzy voice the initial chorus?
You should hear Izzy’s solo records then. 117 degrees and Ride On are just awesome...well...all of them are awesome but I really like those 2
Never got enough respect for his piano playing
i can’t belive that humanity can create such masterpiece
True
Well then you need to listen to Pink Floyd.!!!!!!!
Try a Beethoven Piano Sonata sometime
when the reason for the song means enough, people really set their sights high.

oh wait. nothing lasts forever even cold November rain
am i right ?
That means the bad won’t last… so GUNS N ROSES FOREVER

I have been a GNR fan since the beginning and this is the first time I have ever heard this version and it is really awesome to hear the talent of the band in this version
The main difference from this version to the original is that the most optimistic verse wasn't written yet in 1986, which is:
"And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, oh yeah
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain""
Instead, there is this verse that shows he is still trying just to move on:
"So I'll just keep on walking
Again and again and again and again and
again and again and again and again and
I know, I'll just keep on walking
Again and again and again and again and
again and again and again and again"
Which makes the demo song sound more hopeless and sad than the original version. And even more pungent and sad and beautiful.....
I think you meant poignant and not pungent.
I day they should have kept it and added the verse last

Although I LOVE Slash's solo and overall guitar playing on the released version, this is how Axl intended it to be. Man how talented is that guy, to play the piano and sing like that at the same time??? Incredible.
Axl playing piano...It gives me shiver ❤️
man, I love hearing that man play piano. His playing speaks to my heart in ways I can't describe. I got the pleasure of seeing them live last year up at the Gorge, and honestly, it's the best concert I've been to. That day was also the first time I smoked weed, so that was fun. 10/10 would go again.
Love you guys, your music has helped me through a lot. I hope you have a safe flight home, and that you enjoy your vacation. Can't wait for the next time there's a concert near me again.
Absolutely the best. Piano and vocals only, and this song is so strong. Fan for over 30 years.
Nothing lasts forever even cold november rain...
Kurt Cobain i see u everywhere xdd

This song somehow brings back everybody’s loved ones whos not there anymore. Real masterpiece ❤️
such a beautiful demo
Man, this song is absolutely timeless❤️
Hi Macy😊
THIS is the version I’m learning on piano. Demo key and playing with the final version lyrics. Hell yeah.
This is a absolute masterpiece!!!!!! Thnx GNR - fan since '87 🤘🌹🤘🌹🤘🌹
My favorite song of all time, this version is so raw, I love it
I bought the super deluxe boxset without hesitation. I have been waiting for this version to come out in the best quality since I heard it in a bootleg format at first time in 1999. This is beyond what I really expected. Thank you GN'R, my best r&r band forever.
Los gunners siempre serán de los mejores rockeros de la historia, y esta versión es increíble! Saludos!
This is the content I need.
And again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and I know -Axl Rose.
Reason why I love Axl Rose only he can make this verse beautiful. Keep on rocking Guns N Roses.

The best version ever.Axl Voice Touch the soul...
THEY WROTE THIS IN 1986???? These dudes were on another level. holy shit....
Respect for this epic song..........
8:25...best part..solo Axl piano...Brilliant
You can't stop it ROCK n ROLL!!!
Rock n Roll will never die ,you bet
Suck on that
Elton John is the reason Axl became a Musician, you can hear it all over his Music
Jimmy Pop no, it was Freddie Mercury. He said it a lot of times.
It was both, they were his two main influences.
Also Freddy mercury. It was Elton Jhon he was inspired to try something out like november rain.
Dont forget the underrated Michael Monroe from Hanoi Rocks
and some buttheads still think he is a homophobe
Love the vocal on this.
Best song ever
i don't think the current pioneers of music and the current listeners will ever be able to grasp why this song is so important. In any form this song is nothing short of pure magic.
A música mais linda de todas conseguiu ficar ainda mais bela. Que voz! Amo Guns, amo November Rain...um clássico. Casei ao som dessa música.
Lia Lima . eu também
Concordo com tudo oque você falou mas o que mais me surpreende é você ta viva mesmo tendo casado com essa musica ksksksk (se lembra do clip vai entender)

Alef-kun Souza KKKKKKKKKKKK cara, sem palavras kkkkkkkkkkkkk
Carol Feitosa kkkkkkkkkkkk
His voice was most unique then... Still I love...
I love it and its emotional this original 1986 version is a classic masterpiece just like 1991 version and the thing I will always cherish for the rest of my life is that when this video of November rain was on mtv it was like it became a big part of my rock n roll upbringing I was 11 years old enjoying this with my elder brother , and I miss my elder brother so much because he is not physical anymore 1977 - 1997 but I know he is alive for eternity and his spirit is with everywere I go in life , what happened to my elder brother is personal that I don't like share ing with everybody in guns n roses youtube vevo and I am sorry every so I always want to dedicate this beautiful hardrock masterpiece to my elder always and forever the only that makes me smile with a bittersweet feeling is that my elder loves guns n roses and I still have the guns n roses poster and guns n roses is the greatest hardrock band of all time , I am and my elder brother and sister are guns n roses fan for life
Wow. Great family ever !! 🤘🤘
noose?
R.i.p.❤
Deepest sympathies and condolences to you on the loss of your brother.
It's still the best band today.
The Man who sold the world yeah thats right!
NO DOUBT!
これはヤバいテイクやな。凄いわ！声もよく出てるし、ピアノとアクセルの声だけで十分完結してる曲だな。
Way better then the original absolutely love it so raw sounding the way guns should be
I thought this was the original
Solamente los guns podían superar la versión más conocida. Después de mucho escucharla, llego a la conclusión que esta es mejor. Una es perfecta, la otra es PERFECTA
Amazing version 🫶🤪 W. Axl Rose... ICON !
Simplemente hermosa nada mejor que empezar el día con november rain 😍😍😍😍😍
Sara Depp empezar?, aquí apenas es la madrugada 3:39 a.m
Natt Catt 😂😂😂😂
Sara Depp siiiii
Sara Depp aqui en panamar ya amaneció y es chebre escuchar ese tema a esta hora😃
Sara Depp Esta es la mejor canción del mundo pero en vivo no pasa la prueba, espero que saquen los Box de los Ilusión I & II y escuchar November Rain solo en orquesta, todo relacionado a este canción es una obra maestra.
The best song of all times!!!!!!
This is a RELIC of the music. Thanks AXL!
Me encantó ❤ Siempre fue, es y será un placer escuchar la magnífica voz de este hombre
Belén Barnetche 😍😍
Beautiful
This is better than the commercial release!!
Una de mis personas favoritas en el universo. El último rockstar de la historia. Después de él se rompió el molde y yo na hubo otra estrella en el rock.
True
Con esa actitud él literalmente mató a cualquier "superstar"...
Kurt cobain, ejem, ejem, pero axl si es otro nivel
@@S27-u1y aunque sea buena banda, no hay chance bro
Axl Rose es el ultimo rockstar que logró transmitir el sentimiento del rock a las grandes masas
THE BEST VOICE, GOD BLESS AXL.
Axl should play it this way every once in a while, obviously Slash would do his solos and then at the very end the whole band comes in for the full firework outro. Would be pretty great!
Escuchar esto, voz y piano en su esencia pura hace que me den ganas de llorar
Que Grandes GNR !!!
Lovin these new remastered demo's... Grew up listening to dodgy bootlegs of the demos.. These are gold... the quality is bellisima
heaneybrian fuck yeah man, my brother bought Chinese democracy a week early and we ripped it outta respect for previous demos and the likes, would love to see a " live with gnr " broadcast where they play everything. Fan favourites, covers, rares, even shitty Chinese democracy
I've loved them since I watched him step off that bus in LA in Welcome to the jungle on MTV. They were the last of the real rock bands. Axl I just want you to know I had a life size poster of you in my room for most of my 20s. From one red head from indiana to another 💜
Listening to it about thousend times i can't keep my tears .It's forever
Thank you, Axl
A true masterpiece of music. Axl's genius for writing, playing and composition culminate into this perfect song. Still so timeless and relevant.
Que bonita version , ya la habia escuchado esta version , pero aca se escucha mejor
Correcto, esta versión tiene tiempo rodando como bootleg, pero ahora se escucha de maravilla.
Carlos Alberto Velázquez Zúñiga pero de donde es? No entiendo el contexto de estas grabaciones
De Welcome to The jungle también publicaron una version que sonaba mas casera
Exacto hace años circula esta canción como bootleg, nada nuevo pero la calidad de sonido extremadamente superior , si así se escucha en UA-cam no me quiero imaginar como sonara en vinilo ...
Cierto, hay un vídeo en youtube que muestra fotos de Axl cuando era pequeño y de fondo suena esta maravilla
creo que los que de verdad seguimos a Guns, sabemos que realmente no hay nada nuevo en el disco, nada inedito como se decía, lo cierto es que si esta remasterizado ese material, (lo mismo con el vídeo de "It so easy") yo tengo un disco llamado "make my day" ahi viene esta versión y otras 14 canciones grabadas así, pero en el disco dice que es del 91" quizá es el disco no la grabación.... en fin, lo importante es que esta rolando la música de GNR,,
Wow I can't believe this was recorded in 1986! Simply amazing...just so damn gorgeous and epic, definitely their stairway to heaven...was a local band here in LA California unknown at this time! Now just add Slash's DUAL guitar solos and its a complete masterpiece ;) thank you for this VEVO
KLINK dogg
I've added the first solo, check it out :)
