Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Maybe posted before, but I thought some people may wanna see it again...

Slash and Scott are in the video.  It's a great tune, and I think this version is cool.

Shame the other guys aren't in the vid, as they played the music.

Thx. Never seen that one before.  :peace:

First time Ive seen this.  Its not good.

Why?

It's excellent if you ask me.  Great song... big sounding version.  I honestly can't see how you can fault it?  Not one bad singer on there.  Scott Weiland, Elton John, Steve Tyler, Pink, Gwen Stefani... all great singers.

Open your mind dude...

I think it's great and give me chills...

New to me, Slash looks great in the few seconds he's shown. Good find.

Same.

Awesome video. Really  good. Slash looks great!! Thanks for posting this.

This version is only okay,the original is much Better,Eric Clapton wrote this song to his son..Slash looks cool. :smoking:

I actually prefer this one :D  It's more 'full' sounding.

But the Clappy one is cool of course :)

Brilliant!!  I love it..  Great job VR!

i was dissapointed on how, steve tyler and scotts voices were very background when compared to the more trendy singers on there.

Wasn't this for the Tsunami or Katrina?

i think it was for the Tsunami

Thanks for posting!

i thought it was pretty awful. sounds like what you'd hear on one of those feed the children commercials. In essense thats what it is I guess

You're odd.  Very odd.

 ???

Not as odd as your defensiveness over other peoples opinion of this song.

Its a cheesy record and little more than a showcase for a lot of famous singers.  Its also an awkward song choice for the subject matter.  The original "Tears In Heaven," a quiet tribute to Claptons dead son, works.  This overwrought, "fit-as-many-famous-people-as-possible (and-Kelly-Osbourne)" rendition about the tsunami, doesnt.  The production is hackneyed and so is the song in general.  The videos no good either.  The only thing worthwhile about the whole thing is that it was for charity and Slashs appearence in the video.

You like it?  Terrific.  Throw it on a CD with "Do They Know Its Christmas?," "Whats Going On? (All-Star Remix)," and "We Are The World" and sing along.  But dont act is if disliking this song is incomprehensible or sacrilegious. 

for what it is, a bloated charity song, I like it.. I love the work VR did.. Ya, its cheese, but the music is class...  I love it..  Elton John has a great voice..

Booker...

first.  Take a chill pill.  I didn't once become defensive over the song.  You're talking rubbish.  Read my answer to your dislike, and you'll see I just asked why you didn't like it.  Since you hadn't given any reason.  And when I said the guy was odd... well, hardly defensive.  Jeez.  Sort yourself out mate.  LOL.

You think it's cheesy.  Maybe it is.  So what!? :D  LOL.  90% of the people I know reckon GnR is cheesy.  Again... so what?  The song is good.  That's enough for me.  I don't need a song to be breakthrough or completely devoid of cheesyness like some people.

You're the one who seems to have become defensive man.  No one else here saw me being defensive.  But then, I have seen you time and time again over the years, argue til you're blue in the keyboard on this forum.

:)

For the record tho ... We Are the World, Band Aid, and all the other songs like that are great!  They're feel good tunes, and theres nothing wrong with that :)  You need to get your head out of your ass and start just appreciating music for the music it is, instead of taking the holier than thou ground :)

Before you got an answer to your question, you told me to "open my mind" (you forgot to mention that in the above post).  So because I didnt like the song I was closed-minded. 

Another poster voiced his opinion and you called him "very odd."  Somebody doesnt like a song that you do and theyre closed-minded or odd - these are defensive responses. 


This is an ironic little passage.  : ok:


A little more irony (and defensiveness) - the guy insulting others for their reasonable opinions on a song criticizes a "holier than thou" attitude.

This song (the version with as many celebrities that could be crammed into it, not the original) doesn't have any soul in my opinion.

I'm glad I finally got to hear it, but I probably won't listen to it ever again.  I guess these all-star compilations are never good.

Yeah, I kept pausing at the part where he appears, trying to see all the stuff he had in the "studio".  :)

Thanks for the link I think they do a great job.

Thanks for posting it. I never seen or even heard of this video befor.  :-\ Wow this Dec will make it two years since that happen.

I dint even get all the way through i had to turn it off, it was fukin poisonin my ears.

That was fucking awesome. It's a touching song and - while I think it got a little cluster, much like a huge church choir, with all those superstars - I think the overall vibe and what it was for helped make this a really cool version.

I think Elton John's part in the beggining was the best. Slash's solo was great too!  : ok:


It would have been  better if it featured clapton though.

I agree. Clapton's version's really intimate unlike this cover. I don't really like these 'we are the stars and sing together' type of songs.  :no:  But it was good to see and hear Slash and Scott, wonder if the studio versio's guitar solo is longer.
