Karice wrote:Head to Head comparison of Guns And Roses songs, Welcome To The Jungle or Paradise City. Which is better? On a Paradise City song video, a Guns And Roses Fan said that Welcome To The Jungle was Guns And Roses best song. I replied something like,"Paradise City is much better than Welcome To The Jungle to me. Welcome To The Jungle, Axl was dipping his toe in the ocean so to speak, but Paradise City, well, he was fully swimming in the ocean. I feel that Welcome To The Jungle is the definitive Guns And Roses song, but Paradise City is where Axl is completely at ease with himself and REALLY let's loose. The 6:53 version of Paradise City is beyond phenomenal and one of the best rock songs of all time.
What do you guys think?
I have got to go with Welcome to the Jungle. I don't really like the chorus in Paradise City, it is too...jolly, in a sense. Welcome is more aggressive throughout and has the better vocals.

Is that 6:53 version one of the demos?

The album version is 6:45 minutes, according to Spotify. So I suppose that's the version you are talking about. I don't think I have heard the radio edit where the last two minutes with the long Slash solo is removed

On YouTube, they have a Paradise City video that clocks in at exactly 6:53..
Alright, I checked Spotify.
Anyway, the original, album version of the song is probably the same as the one you are talking about:

That's just the original version. It's a bit longer probably because whoever uploaded it to Youtube added a short introduction.

I'm not so sure that Paradise City is a Best Guns N'Roses song anymore...I was blown away by Paradise City with Axl's desperate, loud, fast, powerful, urgent, passionate singing in it. I had grown up on "Sweet Child Of Mine," and Axl doesn't do that desperate, urgent, loud, passionate, fast singing in it. Sweet Child of mine is honest and raw, but doesn't have a sense of urgency in it
I was pleasantly surprised by Paradise City as I had NEVER heard Axl sing like that before. Once again, I used to think that Sweet Child Of Mine was their ONLY song and Axl doesn't sing with the urgency of Paradise City in Sweet Child Of Mine. But as I listen to more and more Guns N'Roses songs, I realize that the urgency Axl uses in Paradise City is pretty standard for a LOT of his songs. So Paradise City is no longer all that special to me anymore. I actually enjoy Perfect Crime much more than Paradise City now. Perfect Crime is even MORE urgent than Paradise City is.I listened to Perfect Crime like 7 times in a row before finally stopping....
do you mind if I ask how old are you? you sound much younger than the rest of us
you are going through stuff i went through over 20 years ago, it is fun
