Title: Set me free- Hulk version/Contraband version Post by: RichardNixon on March 12, 2006, 04:51:37 PM Did the band just remix the song for the album, or re-record it? Also, which one sounds better?

The Hulk version is more classic GN'R sounding, whereas the one on Contraband is not so much, and yeah, there's some added vocals towards the end of the song too. Matt also does a kick/snare drum thing at the end of the song on the Hulk version that's not on Contraband either.

I remember Slash saying how the Hulk version was mixed on the fly and they thought it didn't really sound good but I like it alot better then the mixing on Contraband. If CB was mixed like this I would've liked the album alot more, it sounds alot more classic rock. I'll bet that's the reason they let someone else mix it, cause it sounded to much GN'R ;) |
