Everybody's Changing - Welcome Home Stranger

 

"Well I've got songs inside my head

That could resurrect the dead

And have them dancing through the headstones

With the lovers they have left

 

That is if we forgive them

For leaving us behind

To face the hell of solitude

Without a tongue to pass the time

 

With all those mindless conversations

That we've grown used to over years

Discussing loneliness and coffee prices

And those other fears

 

That will drive us on forever

'till we finally give in

Give in to the beauty of just living

'cause there's so much beauty in just living"

Myself... I'm testing out my microphone feeedback delay... Sounds around 20-25ms...

This here is a Guns N Roses compilation album of a bunch of unreleased demos. Some interesting stuff here like Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Elvis Presley covers. Because these are demos, the sound quality is pretty horrible.

 

However, the one track I've really liked from these so far is the piano-only version of November Rain around the 27:00 mark. It's just a guy playing a piano and singing with a weird-ass voice while other people are giving backing vocals in a very low volume, recorded with the world's crappiest sound recording equipment. But there's just something so atmospheric about the whole affair. Same goes for the acoustic guitar version of November Rain around the 57:09 mark.

 

The old quality of the recording gives a lot of atmosphere, the piano notes are fumbled and droned by the shitty audio and sometimes even the singer screws up his notes. But even still, I can't help but feel a lot of nostalgia for something I never should have had nostalgia in the first place. It really feels like I'm peeking into someone's cherished long-distant memory, mudded and greyed by the passage of time.

 

 

EDIT: It seems the YouTube tag isn't working?

 

EDIT: It works now. Thanks, Jeb.

Bagpipe in metal sounds really good.

Folk/Celtic metal is great.

^That sounded really good. I'm still surprised how well the 2 go together.

Akira Yamaoka was such an underrated musician, it's fucking crazy how not enough people know his name.

 

He's about as good as Frank Klepacki as a heavy rocker with industrial influences, albeit in a completely different way.
