HEY, LISTEN: I never actually thought to record this information, so it might be important for you to know that during this episode, all comparison segments are the 1991 version, followed by the 2022 version. So the first section you hear is the old, then the new. Thanks!

For years I have had a little tradition in November. Whenever it rains, I listen to November Rain. Some years I only listen once or twice, but some years I've clocked over 10 plays. I started the tradition because growing up, Guns N' Roses was one of my favorite bands, and this was kind of a way for me to stay connected to them, even as I got older. So imagine how excited I was to find out that Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree (one of my favorite bands) was doing a remix and remaster of November Rain, now with a live 50 piece orchestra! Buuuut, only for me to miss that boat by a month or two. And given that I was pretty busy last November (probably) I didn't get around to comparing the two for the podcast until now! Better late than never, I guess! So join me in a little bit about why I love GN'R so much, and how this new 2022 version of the track shakes things up.
