"Sweet Child O' Mine" - New Orleans Style Guns N' Roses Cover ft. Miche Braden

[@kimifw58]

This is the kind of voice that takes YEARS to build. You just have to appreciate how deep and powerful it is.

[@wordforger]

Seriously. Young contraltos exist, of course, but the contralto voice is really like fine wine most of the time. They tend to get better with age!

[@WormholeJim]

You said it! Thank you for sparing me minutes of anguish trying to wring out in words what listenng to this did for me.

[@Cccoast]

@corona covid.... yeah, but can they have the sass and performance of her? I doubt it

[@Angel-rq3pi]

Most women's, voices get deeper as we age. You can imagine a true contralto.... I've been singing since i was 10 (at school... At home always). At one point 7th grade we were singing and practising, learning songs for 6 different sets.... At home before school an hr or 2, an hr before 1st class, then our fine Arts class. (Choir) 1hr, morning break 20mins, 1st elective clasd (Choir) 1 HR, lunch (in the choir rm) 1 HR, 2nd elective class (Choir) 1 HR, 3 more classes (singing to and from class). Home on bus- singing...hr or more. Then singing in shower, reading music at dinner, singing during homework along with singing homework, then bed. Weekends? Forget it. And I sang to the radio all the time, my fam sang around the piano. During holiday season with UIL and various public concerts, as well as nursing homes and hospitals..... Id have to learn 20-30 diff songs and was practicing 10+ hrs a day. All that singing can give one a WIDE range, great breath control and stamina, projection, resonance etc. I was singing Bass at 14 with a 10min warm up. By 15 I didn't Need the warm up.i started as a 1st Soprano at 10. By 17 I could sing anything from 2nd Bass to 3rd S. W/o warm up. With warm up I could make it to 1st S. Never mind environmental exposure (weather, allergens, smoke), if the singer is a smoker, quality of training). It takes time but not as much as youd think (calendar yrs)...... Just constant singing daily

[@bitchette]

@Corona Covid being born with the tone is a thing, mostly due to the sounding of the language, but with the power, deepness and control, I doubt highly. That's nice to be a patriot, but don't exaggerate.

[@signesanda]

She is just so sassy and jazzy and perfect. A real diva.

[@Ciclopea2]

Absolutely, fiyah, she's a Queen!

[@robertohernandez4486]

Hell yeah!

[@BEARNakedGaming]

[@rasmusgrankvist4131]

She could snap Axel Rose like a dry twig.

[@ccastu]

I knew this would be great as soon as I saw her. She just exudes confidence, and justly so!

[@boomerangfreak]

Damn that voice, its giving me the goosebumps

[@josecunha6974]

Covers like this reenforce the fact that music is NOT about genre, its about talent and feeling. And this lady has those in spades. Unique and beautiful, love it.

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

You don’t understand what genre is. It’s a filing system for record stores. Musicians don’t use that, they perform in a style. You’ll see that word in the caption.

[@josecunha6974]

​@@elizabethclaiborne6461 Gee, Elizabeth, thanks for "womansplaining" music to me, and telling me what musicians do. I have only been alive for six decades, and listening to, appreciating, playing and creating music for all those 6 decades, so I'm glad someone finally laid it out for me. I am surprised to learn that "genre" doesn't exist. Here I was thinking it was the distinctive style of music people created based on their culture and life experiences. Silly me. I'll have to impart this "knowledge" you "bestowed" on me with my Brazilian, Latin and American friends who share my "delusion" that genre was a thing. Guess we mistakenly thought that we had learned music within the constraints of those mythical genres because of our geography, culture, our generation and circumstance, and that we had eventually grown to TRANSCEND those genres by appreciating the styles of other musicians and adding their distinctiveness to our own. Here we were foolishly believing that once you embrace music enough, learn to love it beyond the narrow confines of the style you first learned or were exposed to, and study it long enough to understand the beauty and commonality of the underlying principles, you could develop the skills or just utilize the RAW TALENT you had to blend disparate "genres" and create new and beautiful music. Something I naively believed this video is a perfect example of, and made my comment to that effect. But thanks to you we know that is all a myth sprung from a labeling system for record stores. By the way, what century are YOU living in, because I personally have not seen a "record store" in decades? Anyway, thanks for sharing what is OBVIOUSLY your DEEP and ABIDING knowledge of all things with us, and for gracing us with the wisdom of someone who is CLEARLY a legend in her own mind.

[@burgesskj]

Lord'a Mighty, Bourbon Street burning my ears again!

[@lukevaughan7706]

The Sister has some serious pipes ! Terrific ! ! !

[@samanthanickles9913]

I feel like I've been sent back into time...her voice is absolutely timeless and coupled with that dress and that attitude, she looks like she just stepped out of a New Orleans club. Absolutely beautiful arrangement and wonderful musicians to make it all come together. I can easily say that I have never, ever been disappointed by a PMJ cover.

[@Addisonmoreno]

Perfectly put, I can't get enough frankly.

[@1prsman]

awesome job

[@reanimated]

*A New Orleans club a century ago.

[@i8twosouls]

that last note and slide off, so smooth, I mean to go from that high belt to a complete slide off like that. Amazing range and control.

[@misterkim6426]

9 years later and this is still some powerful sh*t. Bravo Madame Braden.

[@brianmosse]

This lady is as close to a perfect singer as one could get, she is not just an instrument she is her own orchestra, she is an absolute beauty.

[@RudolphCookie]

It's weird being a fan of Guns N Roses whilst listening to this. Never heard this song, yet I know all the lyrics. I know what she'll say next, but not how she'll say it. Astoundin experience.

[@King_Flippy_Nips]

ImperialBiscuit its bizzare i dont l;ike jazz much and at first i though it was ok and kind of a novelty but at about halfway the song pulled me in and i really started to like it possible as much as the original but in a different way and then had an epiphene that its more to do with the song and how they aranged it and for what instruments way way more than the genre itself

[@borisdarkangel]

ImperialBiscuit try it at 1.25 speed ;)

[@josipskledar]

[@Turtle-Melon]

I love how she moves around while she's singing. That's how you can tell that they're truly having fun while they perform

[@reanimated]

Often, perhaps usually/always, it's unavoidable. That's not a result of having fun per se....that's a result of feeling the music, of just setting it free. Our director often hollers at us during warmups to move around lol. But it's just natural when you're really flowing and not being rigid.

[@nele5763]

I'm a massive gnr fan but this cover is simply amazing! I'm speechless!

[@postmodernjukebox]

+Nele Berlin Thank you so much, that means a lot to us!

[@hardluck8732]

I'm guessing that your not gonna have her cover one in a million

[@ristube3319]

Hard Truth 😳 yeah, that wouldn't be awkward huh?

[@ericm8811]

Its because she has about 100 times as much class as the original singer does.

[@alexflores3938]

Just imagine, walking down a street in the olden days of New Orleans and as you're walking you come across a bar with a sign that says "tonight's performance: Big Mama And The Bayou Boys". You walk in with curiosity to see and hear this playing at the end of the bar while you get a drink.

[@m.g.8545]

[@sammysines471]

i dont think she is even using her vocal cords, it sounds like the music is coming straight from her soul.

[@patriciajrs46]

Did you realize that good singing comes from the diaphragm? That's the middle of you. Your heart and soul need to match to sing like this. Let's give kudos to the musicians. They're great.

[@threalismaradona9899]

she aint bad on the piano too

[@wintersunllc]

[@squidtickler3128]

Slash's guitar work in "Sweet Child O' Mine is undeniably some of the best in modern times. I can honestly say that I didn't miss it one bit with a voice like hers. Holy Smokes!

[@TrippyTheShroom]

Ehh. I have to disagree with the Slash part, but the vocals in this are indeed amazing.

[@oscarnilsson4906]

I don't you can use the word undeniably in this context, hm

[@montyfatcat8871]

If I remember correctly, Slash absolutely hates this song, the guitar he plays in the intro was a string skipping exercise which Axel put lyrics over and Slash said it always felt like he was practicing live.

[@gabrielmastel8673]

I remember being a kid and absolutely HATING it when bands would cover another artist. Now that I'm all growed up and shit, I've learned that covers produce some of the best songs.

[@svennoren9047]

I prefer to think of this as the original, and Gn'R did a passable cover later.

[@tweedyb71]

+Sven Norén I'm with you on that.

[@EvilDick1995]

Annony Mouse definitly. I have a way bigger appreciation for them then I did when I was a kid

[@yellowlight2563]

Facts👏👏👏👏😁😁😁

[@tagereapple213]

Annony Mouse agreed. I used to hate it too. These are some of the best versions of some songs. Amazing!

[@Tvianne]

I grew up with GNR, and this cover is absolutely EPIC. I didn't even know I needed this. Thank you. Love to you all!

[@Casey_J96]

One of the most classic songs done in a blues style. What more can you ask for. Soulful singer!!!

[@thefullshelves]

This is so epic! One of my favorite covers you guys have done so far

[@brazilmugenteam]

Even before I hit play, just by looking at the singer, I thought this would be pretty cool. But I was wrong: this is AWESOME!

[@DraconicFortune]

You and me both! She blowed my mind! Man, I was expecting it to be cool, turns out it was just epic.

[@fel_icita]

Same here!

[@victorarreola822]

Every time she held out a high note I went back to check if I had already liked the video

[@hojojitsu]

I saw PMJ this summer but I didn't know who the vocalists were going to be when I bought the tickets. I knew it was going to be a good show, but when I found out the Miche Braden was performing, I knew it was going to be a GREAT show.

[@mariavictoriasalita2908]

For jazz afficionados, cool is not a compliment, instead it's rather an insult. It should be hot. Can't help but rave over her attack on the song. I totally love it. I wish she covers more songs and turn it into something this amazing.

[@elmoomle4565]

Ms. Miche Braden is a bona fide Diva. Fantastic rendition from simply outstanding musicians...all of them.

[@myysticranger]

AWESOME!

[@HelloJosieLiz]

Beautiful, powerful voice.

[@cermak5707]

She sounds so original that makes me feel G N R is the one who does the cover.

[@bpb210]

I'm sayin'! She totally owned that song!

[@acelibrarian]

Yep - I'm not sure I ever heard the original (I've missed a lot of music in my life), but this sounds like it was made specifically for this style and her voice.

[@beanixdorf6977]

Amen

[@chrisquance7494]

​@@acelibrarianI've listened to the original Guns N' Roses version for many years, and, hypothetically, if this jazz version was the original, it's like Guns N' Roses just took the lyrics and then wrote their own song with them. I'm not sure I'd call either one a cover, lol. They're both amazing original songs.

[@troythompson6273]

She owns this! What confidence! What a voice! Thank you for sharing this.

[@LeotheTiger1234]

I have to agree with whoever said the same thing on a different PMJ video: the most brilliant thing about PMJ isn't that they cover other songs; it is that their covers sound like the originals, and that the originals sound like covers of this.

[@HarmonicaMustang]

You need a very specific mindset to create such chord progression that works with that vocal as well as the original. My deepest respects. Keep doing what you're doing. Don't know if you realise you're leading a revolution in music.

[@andrewtucker94]

Not sure I agree, it's great but it's a very retrospective style

[@stynway59]

That "retrospective style" actually pulled out the melody, message, and charm of the cavalier approach of the original melody and lyrics. Happens all the time in music.

[@pvtpyle7416]

[@Necreon021]

robin17171 From someone who is in the genre and answering to a post in which someone wishes for more music like this, I expected a short list of examples... spreading useful info never made anyone's day worse :).

[@robin17171]

Necreon021 I don't play a lot of trad jazz. I'm in a 40's band. A dance band. The Moonlight Swing Living History Big Band. We are a Glenn Miller tribute band. In saying that, I do listen to more of the 40's era style. The crazy vibrato in the saxes, hat mutes for the brass, and a lot of wah mutes for the trumpets. Especially Glenn's sound. So people like Glenn, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, The count, Harry James, Woody Herman, Cole Porter, Tommy Dorsey, Les Brown, and some Johnny Mercer. My favorite modern band is Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band. But then a lot of his musicians have other bands, like Eric Marienthal, Sal Lozano, and a few others. Have you ever listened to the Saturday Night Live band? They know how to play and swing hard too. The Seatbelts, the do a lot of music for a Japanese anime titled "Cowboy Bepop." They know how to jam too. Dixieland isn't too big even in the Jazz setting today. Louis Prima did a little dixieland, there are a few not so big names out there. There is a band I saw a couple years ago on youtube called The Dixieland Crackerjacks. I loved their playing. And you made a great point :P Hopefully this will fulfill all your Jazz needs.Oh, and few more, the Military bands know how to rip. I've heard the Army band a lot and I love them.

[@jrevich]

The only way

[@robin17171]

***** It may shock you to know that some people are happy sharing knowledge. And they don't mind letting other people know about cool stuff. It's not a big deal, yet you make it to be so. Seriously, there's a reason why some people aren't complete assholes and don't mind being nice to others.
