Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I appologise if this has been mentioned before (or during the time), but I just came across this old post on Blabbermouth (yeah yeah, I know!), but I thought it was kind of interest to note:

The revamped band have also reportedly recorded four new versions of the BOB DYLAN classic and GNR live staple ?Knockin' On Heavens Door?, including a reggae version, an "eclectic" rendition, and the version they played in concert at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, which is said to be ?a much more slowed down version? than the one that appears on Use Your Illusion II.

Also, this kinda supports what Dizzy said about them recording multiple versions of each new song.

So that is what has been taking so long......

 :hihi:

I haven?t read this article Of Jan. 5, 2002 yet. Thanks. : ok:

Dribble :drool:?





(EDIT:To avoid posting only smileys)
dirt, ↓ sidesplitting!  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Maybe if CD ever comes out it will be between 12 and 18 tracks of all the same song, but different versions of it...

Of course this and Live And Let Die are of the few "old" GN'R songs re-recorded that could be released without any resistance from Slash and Duff ;D

Coming to a record store near you .... Chinese Democracy, featuring 15 different versions of Chinese Democracy.  Buy now, and receive a bonus disc with 3 extra versions of ... Chinese Democracy!

 :rofl:

If Gnr does this comeback it's possible that we'll see some of this material released as b-sides...

it's weird...it seems like Axl wants to "erase" his past with the old band:
- he wanted to re-record AFD...a symbol.
- he blakened his appetite tatoo.
- now he re-records other versions of songs he played with the old band.

Axl DID NOT blacken his AFD tat. That is a lie.

come on man I have eyes....it shocked me the first time I saw RIR3 videos and on the NBA interview you can also see his tatoo is very dark...

he did not blackened his tattoo, it has aged they way it's natural for that detailed tattoos to do

you can see the skulls clearly in pictures that "new"  : ok:

It was just a shadow. There are new pix where you can see all the skulls.

You are right!

TATTOO'S GET DARK WITH AGE.
I saw the whole Rio3 video,and you can clearly see the other skulls.

I know this is off topic, but since u guys are discussing Ax's tatoos (sorry for mispellin here---took 2 tylonol colds today!!)...anyways...I thought tats get lighter w/ time??  (ie. gotta retouch em....?  or is it that they just change over time--ie. can get lighter/darker/...etc?)

also, I'm sure this was discussed b4, but what about his new tat, on his wrist, of the sculls---who/what is that? does someone out there know?
thanks!

the black gets lighter with age, so you have to rewrite, detail tattos has a tendency to float as the skin streches over time, maybe it's this who makes it seems more dark? more onecolored, blurry and less details

but their def there


maybe 7\9 skulls around his wrist :confused: i dunno, gotta love good tatto-work :beer:

man, i hope not - we've already had 'knockin on heavens door' as a b-side three times plus the 'days of thunder' version - i'm so bored with that track now!  :-\

a friend o mine met axl back in 2001 and his tatoo was ok...

1) he paints it to black with a marker or something
2) he did colored the tattoo with acrylic tints who makes it look darker for the cameras

but I belive he didn't make a fuck and the cameras just makes the tatoo to look dark

God i dont want to hear this song ever again!!!! this one and Civil War..... 4 more versions?? how many versions of this song do you need???  The song sucks and is boring to listen to.... The version from the "Days of Thunder" was the best version and they should have left it alone..

Heres an Idea for you Axl Rose.... Instead of rewriting and recording songs from your past Write a new Song!!!

I wouldn't be so radical but it seems to me Axl has a SERIOUS problem with the old band material. I have the impression he tries to "erase" the History the old band made.

Most bands doesnt count em as one, but most fans do

yeah, i count them as one band, none of my mates into GN'R do thou! shame that...

someone said something about 'Civil War' did they release a different version of that somewhere then??

Yes it was on a sound track to a movie. Its pretty much the same thing but there is no guitar riff before my hands are tied part. Its basically the demo version.

i like that best, the song has a more step-by-step build-up that way  :beer:

4 new versions of "knockin"  :confused: I hope they are fuckin amazing. Question for Axl..why dont you fucking release some of the new versions to your fans?? It would help get everyone accustomed to the new sound. Noone will give a fuck in 2007 when they are released as B-sides.

No matter what year it is people will care what Axl has recorded.  Being a new/old song it really doesn't matter, because of all the mystery surrounding Axl.  I'd like to hear a few more versions of Madagascar/Silk Worms, both songs ROCK out ecspecially live.

what is different in the days of thunder version of kohd to the album version?

not very much, lil' different drums and sound, sound more raw maybe,
and second verse, axl says stuff between the lines

mama put my guns in ground (blablabla) i can t use... i like it a lot :peace:

was it on this cd?
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/releases/discog/nobodys.htm

i'm gonna have a look for that if it's slightly different - i love collecting GN'R stuff!!

i was hoping they'd put this version on the greatest hits coz not alot of fans have heard of it
that "lucky to get out of life alive" verse is spoken different and Axl says a load of stuff between some of the word like said above. its pretty cool, i picked up the cd for ?5 on amazon - the price of a cd single in the UK so it was well worth it to me!  :peace:

If this is true they must be sick of playing Knocking on Heaven's door now...  :rant:

Maybe they should have re-recorded 4 versions of 'Patience' instead...
