This is way better. That “estranged” guitar part never should’ve been removed.

I love this version overall but I hate the guitar or synth on the backings at 1:36 very much, I'm happy they got rid of them eventually)

I like this one a lot. It needs the “ok, nevermind” in there though!

The guitar in the chorus at 1:47 and 3:20 shouldve stayed in the album version 😢

Damn, i love the album version and this is somehow even better!

I dunno how this video is still up gang..

This was different than the leaked version, it was crisper with less intro guitar that felt kinda intimate to the hardcore fan.

OK never mind!

I don’t know why the didn’t release this version. So good. A lot of earlier Democracy tracks were better. Axl overthought the songs. Good album though.

Tommy has complained in interviews that they re recorded stuff so much when he felt it was fine. Agree.

1:47 Pitman synth , the Best part, not in the oficial release😢

Way better than the 2008 version.

With all the many unnecessary changes and edits made to some of the tracks, the neutering of “the blues” was the most criminal for sure.

1:47 This version of the chorus is just so much better imo.

Amazing!!!

All the love in the world couldn't save you All the innocence inside You know I tried so hard to make you Oh I wanna make you change your mind And it hurts too much to see you And how you left yourself behind You know I wouldn't want to be you Now there's a hell I can't describe So now I wander through my days Trying to find my ways To the feelings that I felt I saved for you and no one else And though as long as this road seems I know it's called the street of dreams But that's not stardust on my feet It leaves a taste that's bittersweet That's called the blues I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go I see you You know it's what you planned, this much is true What I thought was beautiful, don't live inside of you anymore I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go I see you You know it's what you planned, this much is true What I thought was beautiful, don't live inside of you anymore What this means to me Is more than I know you believe What I thought of you now Has cost more that it should for me What I thought was true before Were lies I couldn't see What I thought was beautiful Is only memories

Oddly enough (based on all the comments here), I really prefer the official version. Like, I prefer it *a lot* more than this. This one I didn't like one bit compared to the official, which I'm glad ended up being the one to make it to the final cut

Awesome version! Also, Do you have the demo of Hard Skool? That was originally recorded back in 1999? If so, I think you should upload the 1999 version of Hard Skool, that would be awesome if that were to happen.

Axl tinkered around with this song too much. Actually, the same can be said for the entire album... Each version of this song got a little bit worse and a little bit worse IMO. Like they weren't horrible updates, but I loved this early version and the early live performances

I like it a lot but vocals are too low while sub bass is too loud, weird mix

Sounds like a fan made tbh
