Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hey Everyone,

Did Steven Adler play on any of the Use Your Illusion Demos?  I personally think his drumming style was better suited for the band and would have loved to find out how the records would have sounded if he was the drummer.  I know he played on Civil War and he was on a previously released version of Knockin.  It would be cool to see what he would have done with You Could Be Mind and November Rain.  Do these demos exist?  If so where would I be able to find them?

Thanks

G. Doggy

I dont think Ucbm, and November rain with drums demos exists with adler. Some of the ones I have with adler are civil war,locomotive,back off bitch.

I have these UYI demos with Steven on drums.....

Civil War
Get in the Ring
Ain't Goin Down
Locomotive
Don't Damn Me
Garden of Eden
Dust N Bones

These UYI/TSI songs were played live with Steven....

Yesterdays
Don't Cry
Knockin on Heaven's Door
Back Off Bitch
Civil War
Down on the Farm
Hair of the Dog

add Down On The Farm to the live list Dizzy : ok:

Blast it!  Forgot that and "Hair of the Dog".  I included "TSI" in the "Following songs" sentence but then forgot to put them in the list of songs.   :-\

When did they play hair of the dog?

05.23.88 - Winnipeg Arena, Winnipeg, Canada
opening for: Iron Maiden
set: It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Rocket Queen, Hair Of The Dog, Out Ta Get Me, Only Women Bleed [Intro] / Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Welcome To The Jungle, Guitar Solo, Paradise City
audio/video recording?: audio
notes: After 'It's So Easy,' Axl mentions they haven't been to Winnipeg in 8 months when they were touring with The Cult. Great surprise performance of Nazareth's "Hair Of The Dog." The band had seen a Nazareth concert the night before this show. Axl dedicates the song to their 20th anniversary, he adds that he hopes GN'R can last half that long!

Looks like axl didn't get what he was hoping for.

Is that the Alice Cooper song Only Women Bleed?

Yes its the into they always used for KODH during the UYI tour

Out of interest how does Steven's drumming compare to Matts on these songs  : ok:

I liked Steven's drumming for his groove which I think Matt Sorum lacked

They really had no choice but to replace Adler, he was so fucked up he couldn't even get through a whloe song without fucking up numerous times. He's a schmuck, just look at his current state of affairs and the 20 questions he just did

The guy is a fucktard. good riddance I say

stick another drum stick in your hair buddy it's all you are good for :hihi:

Can anyone PM me for the locomotive version?? pleeeeeeease!!  :)

I would love to hear the Garden of Eden, Dust N' Bones, Get In the Ring and Locomotive demos!
also Don't Damn Me, I had that a few years ago but not anymore.
anyone got this stuff?

I got a bunch of instrumental demos of those songs, dunno if they are what you are looking for though, I have no idea if they are Adler or Sorum on Drums. ???

Bootleg albums i got

UYI Outakes
UYI demos vol. 1 & 2
Unwanted illusions
Ultra rare tracks vol 4
UYI TSI sessions

If anyone knows which albums holds whichever songs Adler plays on i will gladly upload them for you guys : ok:

I also have the video for Farm Aid, which is Steven's last performance. they play Down on the Farm and Civil War.

Adler plays on the original studio version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" - the one on the Days Of Thunder soundtrack.

If you could upload Civil War that would be beyond epic dude. I remember even in the thread where people just shared Gn'R televised performances so many people requested that video, but Down on the Farm was as far as we got.. :-\

I'll see what i can do. It's almost 90Mb so give me time. Possibly a couple days :hihi:

No problem dude, it'll take me half a day to download with the connection anyways.. : ok:

erm... is it really adler on the aint goin down demo?
i think the countoff sounds more like matt, so does the drumkit.

Anyone can PM for the demos pleeeeease  :)

that farm aid performance was all over the shop. adler just couldnt keep time on civil war.

i wish he could sort himself out. saw a great gig with him n jizzy pearl last year and u could get right up close. he was spot on. but it appears he's alienated all his band mates with the kinda antics that clearly spelled the death of him with guns.

ps - i too would love the locomotive demo! AND the kohd studio with adler. ive got a live recording but prefer how matt played it (mainly the fill on the intro) - pm me!
