Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: Gargh! on July 09, 2006, 05:43:31 PM Original all the way, dude.
Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: CheapJon on July 09, 2006, 05:54:39 PM i like the alternative better.. think that the text is much cooler on that one..

Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: EFISH on July 10, 2006, 12:27:40 AM im the same as dodger girl.. right wehn the words to the alt. start kicking in i start singing the original ;D
Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: tomass74 on July 10, 2006, 07:28:24 AM I love the music to the song but both sets of lyrics suck.... They seemed alright back in the day, but now they just come accross as a cheesy love ballad.... And the end is annoying hell.
Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: cotis on July 10, 2006, 11:07:59 AM I prefer the Original Lyrics. Why was there an alt. version created? I never knew the answer to that question.
Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: Nighteyes on July 10, 2006, 03:00:35 PM I didn't like the alternative version that much before,but then one day i decided to listen to it and really liked it :P
but because i heard the original version first i will probably always like it more :peace: but what I do like of the alternate is one part where Axl's voice fits so amazingly with the melody, the part where it says "and when you are in need of someone my heart won't deny you, so many seem so lonely with no one left to cry to baby" that part just gives me chills everytime I hear it.. it goes so well with the music!!! same here,i love that part! :drool: i think it's the best part in the song :yes: :beer: Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS.

Nighteyes, this is getting spooky... :nervous: :hihi: Recently, I've been listening a lot to the alternative version, but the original will always be my favorite. I think the lyrics are better in that one. Didn't Axl say the new one was his favorite? I believe I read that somewhere. Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: CheapJon on July 10, 2006, 05:27:11 PM Didn't Axl say the new one was his favorite? I believe I read that somewhere. teah you're right axl said that in "making the fucking videos (part I) Don't cry" that the alternative version was his favourite Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS.

I believe I read that somewhere. yeah,i think we are twins or soemthing :rofl: i read that in an interview too i think,he said something about that he thought that it needed to be "freshed up" and that the new lyrics was deeper or something (this might be wrong,i'm really tired right now) Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: ClintroN on July 11, 2006, 04:28:37 AM im a HUGE fan of the Alt. version!!
:beer: :beer: :beer: Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: Tomorrows on July 11, 2006, 06:49:33 PM Prefer the alt. version. I think the original version has some real corny stuff in it which the alt. version fixes up. Its a less polished song, but its more interesting to listen to.
However, the mix is sloppy in a way. Like before the choruses, there is usually a lead in from the original which doesnt fit. Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: Ana Vader on July 12, 2006, 04:48:47 AM I prefer Don't Cry Alt. version!!! :beer:
Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: pollyblue on July 13, 2006, 12:53:06 PM sinde the UYI albums were out, i liked the originla version better. it's only since a few months (after all those years) that i dig the alt. version more. and yes, it's the 'and when you're in need...' part that makes the alt. version better for me.
strange, everyone likes the same part of the song the most. Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS.

Like before the choruses, there is usually a lead in from the original which doesnt fit. ive noticed that, and i dont like it, i thik they should have redone the whole song to give it its own personality Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: marty on July 13, 2006, 05:52:36 PM Alternate Version. axl just seems to really mean these words and its just more heartfelt. a couple moments dont seem to fit, but the lyrics are just better. if u get the lyrics on their own without the music, alternate is better.

Its got good lyrics, its just let down by existing so much in the shadow of the original. On UYI it just seems like a last minute graft. Title: Re: Don't Cry Original VS. Alternate Version Post by: ryba on July 14, 2006, 05:51:22 AM I like more the original version.
The alt. lyrics has more syllabes, which produces interesting effects, especially in the "So many seem so lonely with noone left to cry to, babe" part. hehe (...) However, the mix is sloppy in a way.
