If you could only hear one studio version of a song right now would it be.......

[bazgnr]

If I had to chose from the leaks, it would be "The Blues," hands down.   Given how much it's changed over the years, I have high expectations for the studio version.

I am voting for "There Was A Time" and i hope Buckethead's solo is still on the album. Nothing against Ron but Bucket's guitar work is amazing on this song.

Either TWAT or the The Blues from the demos I've heard so far....

To 2 of the last 3 posts...we don't have a demo of The Blues.

Oklahoma

You and your Oklahoma maaaaaaan!

You and your Oklahoma maaaaaaan! 

Lol I can't understand why everbody has forgotten the song damnit! I will spread the word!!!!

Haha.

Another song, called ''Oklahoma'' - heard tonight only as an instrumental - was inspired by a court date with ex-wife Erin Everly. ''I was sitting in my litigation with my ex-wife, and it was the day after the bombing,'' Rose remembers with a wince. ''We had a break, and I'm sitting with my attorneys with a sort of smile on my face, more like a nervous thing - it was like, 'Forgive me, people, I'm having trouble taking this seriously.' It's just ironic that we're sitting there and this person is spewing all kinds of things and 168 people just got killed. And this person I'm sitting there with, she don't care. Obliterating me is their goal.''

There Was A Time, a studio version can turn into the next great guitar song.

...and you've heard Ron's studio work on There Was a Time?  I'm sure you have.  I guess you wouldn't try to compare someone's live take (played twice live...one being the first goddamn show just a couple weeks after joining the band) with that done and redone in the studio by Bucket, nah you wouldn't do that now would you?

god dammit,  , posts like that piss me off. 

My answer to the thread's question is easy.  My favorite since the first fucking time I heard it...There Was a Time.  Of course, I am dying to hear every damn song, but, you said we had to choose only one.   

[1987]

definitely Rhiad.  The cleaned up "remastered" boots or the leaked demos will get me by for all the rest of the songs.. but the one that i think that has the most to gain would be Rhiad.  i hope they play it live again.. i would like to hear what the 07 version of gnr would do to revamp it.  the 02 version sounded a bit incomplete

[grog mug]

They are just song titles WHO KNOWS what they sound like.  I'm going with THE GENERAL, or SEVEN.

H??
But thanks for clearing me up, I thought Ron joined the band back in the eigthies...
For me Buckethead's solo is just perfect, no matter if I like him or not. I didn't criticise Ron at all.
Don't know why you make such a big deal of that it's just my opinion, can't you accept that? ?

[echrisl]

I'd be too curious not to pick the re-recorded Welcome to the Jungle ... this other stuff we'll eventually get to hear (sooner or later), but that one won't be coming out ever (or at least for a LONG time ... like post-Axl's life ... and perhaps mine, too).

[Back Off Bitch]

The Blues... my favorite song as of now...

[estebanf]

TWAT, my all time favourite GNR track.
I hope the Buckethead's solo is still there. That song cant be modified. Its perfect, flawless.

[Crowebar]

I have to vote for Sorry due to what Baz said about that song.

For a dude like Baz to be that freaking excited about a song and to say he can't get it out of his head, has to mean something.

I'd have to say it means it's an unbelievably killer track and I can't wait to hear it!!!!!

Same here. Rhiad studio will kick ass for sure... But I don't think it sounded incomplete - the song was the more intricated from the 2001/02 new songs and was judged unfairly because of the quality of the boots. That would change with the studio version!
