Talk:November Rain

message: This song is claimed to be the longest song on the top 20, but wasn't No More Tears (Enough is Enough) by Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand longer (11:43)?
: It's unclear which version of that song charted. Only one version is actually longer than "November Rain". GrimmC (talk) 23:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

message: a pun on the title of November Rain?
*Possibly, but I would like to see some statements from the Type O Negative bandmembers that support this theory before I believe it. -- SoothingR(pour) 08:44, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Here is a cite for this: http://www.therock.net.nz/Music/tabid/68/articleID/478/Default.aspx
Dunno if it is suitable, or how to cite, so thought I'd whack it here for someone to incorporate.
* Can this please be rephrased? The segment "an annual countdown of the top 1000 rock songs by New Zealand radio listeners" makes this sound like New Zealand radio listeners, in general, voted. The Rock isn't a bad station, but it certainly isn't indicative of all NZ radio listeners. kabl00ey 22:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It says in the article
"At 8 minutes and 57 seconds, it is an epic rock ballad (in the tradition of "Hotel California," "Dry County," "Stairway to Heaven," "Free Bird," "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Bohemian Rhapsody")"
A couple of those songs really don't qualify as epic ballads, but just long songs. Can someone take a few out or something?
Will you be fine with me taking the “epic ballad” off off Hotel California? The last two minutes of the song is the guitar solo by Don Felder and Joe Walsh KevinML (talk) 05:40, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

message: The reference given doesn't seem to say anything about it that is ironclad, and I don't believe it to be true either... remove it? -mustangwill  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mustangwill (talk • contribs) 19:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Funeral looked at this article and said we can probably get rid of the weasel words and needs references tags, any comments? (And can Joe Schmo users even take those tags off?) I certainly think it can do without them myself. GrimmC (talk) 00:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says that the song is "currently the 13th most expensive music video ever", but it is only number 17 on this list. Should this part of this article be updated, perhaps?

replies: text:  I fail to see why Estranged should be mentioned. You did notice the article doesn't say it is the 13th most expensive for some years now, didn't you? --Muhandes (talk) 19:46, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expensive music video 

message: Hi - there is no live orchestra in the recorded version of this song. This was played entirely on  synphesizers. I know it's hard to believe listening it, but it's true.  
Much of the cost and length of recording was actually Axl Rose attempting to create a symphony orchestra via synthesiser. Which he eventually did.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.158.4 (talk) 10:03, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orchestra 

message: I have a few comments and questions.
1. The text says "they did not mime for any of the takes".
Who is "they"?
2. "She appears looking visibly troubled during one shot of the wedding and during the funeral sequence, a mirror is visible, covering over half her face, a technique used by funeral homes to allow victims of head trauma to have the appearance of a full face in the event of an open casket funeral."
This sentence needs to be rewritten. The punctuation is not good.
3. Is Izzy Stradlin really playing rhythm guitar in the recording? I see the song was recorded in 1990-1991 but the video has Gilby Clarke and Izzy Stradlin quit the band in 1991.

message: Why does Rolling Stone refer to this song as the 'Elton John-inspired epic "November Rain"'?  In the article Elton John is only mentioned as participating in a live performance of the song.  The article also states that Axl Rose commonly plays 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight' by Elton John before playing 'November Rain'.  Here is the link to Rolling Stone:

message: How do we decide in wikipedia to do writing credits? In Slash's book he talks about his work in writing parts of November Rain. He says that legally the royalties are split 25% Axl, 15% drums, 20% slash, Izzy, Duff on all GNR songs.

replies: text: ah sorry I forgot to type out the reasoning. IMO, the photograph doesn't add anything to the article; especially with a picture of Axl on piano right above it. You can re-add it if you disagree, but perhaps put it in a different area as not to clog up the screen to much. The other edit was reverted for including improper sourcing, please see Reliable Sources. RF23 (talk) 06:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
