2023 Gold Donors Mr.AOR Posted May 14, 2017 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I absolutely love this song and Desi boys version is the way it should be done. There are others who think the Bonfire version is better (idiots who know nothing) so which one do you prefer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67EWrfDwQy8&list=RD67EWrfDwQy8#t=10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcfdDR0YMmA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I would always prefer non accented vocals (child is far better singer in any case) and the production is a million miles better on Child. Great song by the way. And i love both albums these are pulled from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Haha, I am definitely, 100% an idiot who doesn't know nothing. Bonfire all the way. It's a great song but for me the Bonfire version is huge and to my ears, the way the song deserved to be done. It builds up much better and explodes more than Desmond's version. Desmond's version is much more mellow and subdued, but I think the song sounds better as an explosive creature. Say what you want about who's the better singer, but I believe Lessman far more than I believe Child in terms of vocal delivery. Could be Desmond may still have singing about females back then and that's why I just don't believe him? Seriously, I much prefer Lessman's more impassioned delivery.

Glen Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Haha, I am definitely, 100% an idiot who doesn't know nothing. Backed. As for the song the production alone means the Child version wins but how can you say hes not passionate....his whole vocal on that album exudes passion.

Glen Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Also in the second verse the Child version kills with stop start guitars whereas the Bonfire version is weak. No comparison imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Gift of life' is an amazing tune, dripping with passion. This one, however, is not. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysam Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'll admit to being an idiot on this one as well. Great song, and I like both, but I prefer the Bonfire version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
