Title: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: *Izzy* on February 16, 2005, 12:25:31 PM If this has already been done, ignore and delete this thread : ok:
What Lyrics do you prefer Don't Cry (Original) or Don't Cry (Alternative Lyrics). I just wanted to know because I asked everyone I know that knows Guns n' Roses (4 people) what they prefered and they all prefer the Original. Am I the only person that prefers the Alternative Lyrics? They may not fit in with the song as well as the Originals but they seem to have more feeling in them ??? :smoking: Izzy? :smoking: Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Rhythm-n-Booze on February 16, 2005, 12:27:06 PM I like the alternative lyrics better. I think that the part sung after the guitar solo sounds better than with the original lyrics.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Tj on February 16, 2005, 12:32:01 PM I think I prefer the alternative lyrics. I also think this will end up in the Dead Horse section.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: *Izzy* on February 16, 2005, 12:50:23 PM Yeah I like the last verse? especialy the "and when you're in need of someone, My heart won't deny you.... "part? : ok:
To bad UYI2 is ruined my the bad taste of My World? :( . I thought I did post this in the Dead Horse section? :-\ I always post things in the wrong place? :(? >:( :'( :smoking: Izzy? :smoking: Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry???

Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Dave_Rose on February 16, 2005, 06:34:54 PM I prefer the original
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Twisted Nerve 85 on February 16, 2005, 06:40:06 PM THE ORIGINAL HANDS DOWN, I love the alternate but it doesnt carry that same weight that the original does. ESPECIALLY WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT!!
U know how some songs are so powerful they grab u by the throat, well the original Dont Cry grabbed me by the fuckin' nuts :peace: Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Dead N' Bloated on February 16, 2005, 07:14:41 PM I prefer listening to the alternate, but overall i prefer original because of the meaning behind it. The interview with Axl on the Making Fuckin' Videos Dont Cry, He explained that he was in love with an ex of Izzy's and she turned him down out front of a club on the strip and he broke down crying on the footpath and she sat there with him N' said "Dont Cry"
That story really got to me. :peace: Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry???

I wonder why she turned him down, maybe she still had feelings for Izzy and saw him to close to Izzy so they both could be hurt, or the fact that the place wher gnr lived had no shower and he stank a bit. :hihi: Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry???

I like the original best and I'll tell you why. The volume of the track having Shannon Hoon's vocals is higher on the original , on the alternate I can barely hear him. :( He had a beautiful god given angelical voice, you can hear him too on You Ain't The First. Blind Melon is my favorite band ever right along with GNR. Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Drew on February 17, 2005, 12:04:43 PM I love the alternate lyrics version of "Don't Cry" alot more. Always have. The meaning behind the alternate version is more relative to me.

Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Lady Livin on February 20, 2005, 11:12:35 PM The alternative's lyrics blow away the original.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: usurper on February 25, 2005, 06:04:13 AM The original lyrics seem so commercial for me, the alternative lyrics has some real feeling, it makes you think *in a good way* :peace:
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: dirtywhiteboy on March 01, 2005, 08:59:57 AM i like the original better but how many bands could write to different songs to the same music and both of them kick ass. just shows you how truely talented they are.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: borntolose on March 01, 2005, 02:19:25 PM I like both

Post by: Rob on May 20, 2005, 02:32:47 AM I think they're both awesome, but the original is better. The lyrics flow much better in the original. At points in the alternate version it seems like they tried to cram too many words in. Its still good though.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Jamie on May 20, 2005, 12:39:58 PM I prefer the alternative lyrics, but the original sounds better as a song, but I'm very into lyrics and how they're used to convey emotions n all so I'm gonna say alternative
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: slash4ever on May 20, 2005, 03:07:09 PM I really love Don t Cry :love:
but the alternative lyrics have a lot more emotion. :'( I dont know. i guess i prefer the alternative lyrics but i listen to the original more. :peace: Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry???

Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: hyperionmax2003 on May 20, 2005, 04:47:47 PM I heard the original one too many times, becasue any time I turn on the alternative version, it justseems really akward. So my vote is for original.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: jameslofton29 on May 20, 2005, 05:10:22 PM I like the demo better than the album versions. It isn't polished and its just Axl singing.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Rob on May 21, 2005, 04:12:25 AM The alternative lyrics are kinda better, but the original lyrics fit better into the song. That's why I got with the original version.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: plasmabeam on May 27, 2005, 11:43:26 PM original
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: SwedeChildO'Mine on June 01, 2005, 04:15:26 AM I think the original lyrics fits better with the rhytm in the song. But the final lines in alternate (if you're in need...? noone left to cry to) is one is better than any line in original. But for me..? original lyrics.
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: jameslofton29 on June 01, 2005, 05:51:32 AM You guys remember when there was gonna be 3 versions of Dont Cry on UYI? I think the 3rd version was gonna be the demo, but I'm not sure. Could've been a completely different version for all we know. I guess the band realized putting 3 versions of the same song would be overkill. I wonder what song would have been deleted to make room for it?
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: *Izzy* on June 01, 2005, 08:44:14 AM I wonder what song would have been deleted to make room for it? We can only dream that it would have been My World:smoking: Izzy? :smoking: Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: sic. on June 01, 2005, 05:29:25 PM Alternative.
I like the original, but the second version's always had an effect on me; I tend to get all misty when hearing it. :'( Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: 80sRockGurl on June 04, 2005, 02:46:13 PM :crying: I Love the Original version, it's my fave GNR Song!!!!!!!! :love:
by the way , where's AXL ? lol ::) Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: Queen of Everything on June 14, 2005, 07:02:47 AM Yeah, I love Dont Cry.... and I think that the whole story and everything behind it is so cool... It is an awesome song!!!!
Title: Re: Don't Cry or Don't Cry??? Post by: izzyrose on June 14, 2005, 08:46:09 AM i prefer the original.
