Samba Nova

[UnclePeppi]

anyone else agree? the unofficial "mastered" version someone made years ago blows away the version on the deluxe album. weiland's vocals are way more clear and his melody is better. i can't even listen to the new one.

I always felt the vocals in the chorus in the older  version were mixed too low. I can't say I've listened to it much since we got the new ones.

I really don't think the difference is anything to worry about at all. You really can't listen to the new version?! The differences between the two versions are minor at best

[Unglued812]

The older version is way more better bcuz it has this kind of distortion in every instrument and vocals.. wich i like a lot the new version is cleaner in that aspect. Btw, can anyone please inbox me the old version? and "you cant drive me away"" ?

[Shangri]

No, I like both. Don't think there's an important difference.
Plus the pleasure of listening to Samba Nova coming out of a CD blows away ANY digital version

I can't really tell much of a difference to say one is better then the other.

I have to agree that the older version is better.  While we're on the subject, does anyone else feel that it's kinda lame and a ripoff that Samba Nova was even included in the deluxe edition? The song is nearly a decade old and we've all heard it, it's nothing new. They should've put a true new song on there in it's place. Also, the live version of Vasoline should've been replaced with something else because Vasoline was on the Family Values live album.

Yeah I agree it would've been cooler if it was a brand new song instead of a new version of Samba Nova, but whatever I'll take anything STP puts out there

But then we would be saying "I wish they release a remastered version of the outtakes, they're just too cool for so low quality"
Besides, I like the idea of the "common" version being the whole album. Not everybody can afford the deluxe and it's not available for everybody either. So new songs out there and being able to get just the common is like having an incomplete puzzle. I don't see it as a rip-off instead I see it as respect for the fans. Because we know deluxe editions are "new fashion" to get as much as it's possible from die-hard fans (who buy everything they can)

I do hear a difference between the two but I think the real difference is the bootleg Samba Nova was better or more "special" was because it was a bootleg. It was something real diehard fans had that the moderate or casual fan didn't have.
 
well for me anyway.

The Deleo Brothers are pretty versatile. I know I will be shun for this, but they are kinda like the Jimmy Page of our era.
