"Catcher In The Rye" - Discussions

[Spirit]

Guess we can make a thread for this one too!

I like this song... in the same lane as The Blues, more classic Guns! 

[BLS-Pride]

I like it. Piano driven.. Mellow song.. Pretty good from what I have heard. Queen influenced I think.

[killingvector]

I agree.

Is this full ? A friend of mine noticed that it kinda fades out....


Lyrics to CITR:

Guns N' Roses - Catcher in the Rye

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folk's say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun

I thought that I was crazy,
Well, I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun

Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again,
ooh ooh ooh, won't let ya get away from him,
It's just another day like today

You decide if I don't have to
Then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime or long thereafter
If it's cold outside
Ive imagined

All Alone

Oh, oh.

Ooh, the Catcher in the Rye again,
ooh ooh ooh, won't let ya get away from him.
It's just another day like today.

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folk's say
As if they'd ever change
That's not, who am I to say?
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
It's what used to be's not there for me
And ought to find someone that belonged insane like I do

Not an ordinary day
Back in an ordinary way
All at once this song I heard
No longer would it play for anybody
Or anyone
That needed coming from somebody
Needed coming from someone who cared to be
Not like you, unlike me
In an ordinary way for me
Somebody set the wheels in motion
Hearts are memories
You weret the instrument
You were the one
How about it?
Took the body
Gave that boy a gun
Took our innocence
Beyond our stance
Some type of moment
There you got it
All alone in jail today

[Steel_Angel]

reminds me of old gnr  very nice.

[gnrkid03]

Definately very poppy and I like it.  Didn't see it turning out like this from the 9 second clip.  But I must say, I cannot wait to hear this one on the album.  I can only imagine this one all cleaned up with good vocals, guitar, and the piano

[Spirit]

Possibly one of the first singles? Can't get more 'radio-friendly' than this! 

[redlespaul]

I like the Leslie effect on the guitars (organ rotary speaker sound for non-guitarists).  Kinda Beatles-like, similar to the guitar in "Let It Be."

[BLS-Pride]

Its rough.. Sounds a little rougher than the rest of the demos. Finished product should be a damn good song.

[Timmy]

It does have a very classic sound.. it works for me!

[AxlGunner]

I agree.

Is this full ? A friend of mine noticed that it kinda fades out....

yea, that's how the song ends... don't worry, it's full..

[Jonx]

I think its just a poor quality rip. The drums sound very powerful, would be better if it was better quality. The real question is where the hell did this come from? Im so please Axl is challenging the boring old verse/chorus/verse layout. I like what i hear so far!

[BLS-Pride]

Anyone want to give the lyrics a shot?

[Mr.Intensity]

I guess someone pulled the trigger..........

[newgnr]

Ok, so i'm only going to say what i think BASED ON THIS DEMO: I think it's boring as hell.


I just don't think theres much going on here. ?It's not really epic, nor is it very melody driven...it's just kind of there. When I first listened to Better, I was soooo interested with the song. ?When i listened to this one, my mind actually drifted and I kind of tuned the song out. ?



However, this is obviously not the final version. ?So when I can actually hear the vocals and when the drums don't suck, I will give it a proper evaluation.

[Freya]

Very poppy, I really like it. ?

[SLCPUNK]

Anyone want to give the lyrics a shot?

Whadda ya think?

[Chodem]

Solo is wicked.  Sounds absolutely beautiful.

[BLS-Pride]

Yeah.. I think its the beginning stages. Could be a good track. A nice mellow track to set it apart from the rest of them.

[SLCPUNK]

I guess someone pulled the trigger..........

Tell you who didn't..............

[The Dog]

Can you say, "it will remind people of Queen"

need to give it a few listens...but def a cool tune. 

Quality is so so, def a demo....maybe someone can clean it up a bit?  Very cool song.
