Sweet Child of Mine

About the Artist
Though performing together for less than a year, David, Craig and Keoki play and sing together like they've been family forever. Craig may be shy and unassuming, but his bass playing is hard and heavy. Keoki, like Craig, has been honing his musical chops since childhood, being heavily influenced by his father. Both musically and physically, he is a powerful force in this musical 'ohana. David, who's mother sang in the musical group 'the Starlights', didn't catch the music bug until later, but coming from such a strong musical family, it didn't take long before he was writing his own material.. From their first casual meeting at a backyard gathering, the guys knew they had a special chemistry and through their hard work and creativity, their dreams came true.

Product Description
For the new Mellennium's first summers, a fresh, new group brings music that will fill the dance floors as well as fill the listener's minds. The group is called Mana 'Ohana. Strength in Family. Thye spirit of their name inundates the nine solid songs on their debut CD, entitled "Sweet Child of Mine". From the empowering first track, "Hawaiian Nation", to the haunting and passionate "Mommie Dearest", their music is an emotional encounter that journeys through the heart, but stops to have a good time along the way. Their music is a blend of Hawaiian, reggae and rock that delivers a powerful punch from the get go.

ROCKFLUENCE IS PURE PERFECTION.......2007-08-03

Rockfluence is pure perfection! Some of my favorite rock classics, done with such style and beauty. Perfect when you are in a mellow mood, you can still listen to some rock favorites, but be soothed and relaxed beyond words.
My Immortal is my favorite, a little piece of heaven! Thanks so much Scott, for sharing your remarkable,God given talent!
Warning: some songs my bring on an accute case of goosebumps!

A Perfect Blend of Piano Solo and Rock-N-Roll.......2006-06-30

Scott's music is soothing as well as entertaining, emotional as well as inspiring, gentle as well as invigorating. You have to listen to it to catch the blend and beauty of his work.

Fabulous!.......2006-02-20

I just purchased this CD today, and song after song I just smile and think "this is so beautiful", and it's mostly original hard rock songs, it's like an oxymoron but it is wonderful. My 7 year old daughter doesn't know the songs originally, and she kept saying how the songs were bringing tears to her eyes. I got this CD after hearing him at the Galleria Mall in Roseville, Ca. because it was so awe inspiring as he played. I wanted to share it with my family, especially my 5 year old who can play music on the piano from ear, which aparently is how Scott started playing himself, and I wanted his music to be an influence to her. He is a true inspiration. Thank you, Scott, for sharing your talent with us.

from Solo Piano Publications.......2006-02-07

Pianist/composer Scott D. Davis has been referred to as "the rocker of new age/contemporary classical music" for a couple of years now. When fellow pianist/composer David Nevue introduced Davis as such at a Whisperings Solo Piano Radio concert something resonated within him. He had been urged for years to record an album of recognizable cover music, but he resisted, preferring to record his own original material. Somehow, Nevue's introduction freed Davis to return to the music that helped shape his energetic performing style and to create solo piano arrangements of some of his favorites. It's a wide-ranging collection spanning thirty-two years of rock and metal music from 1971's "Stairway to Heaven" (Led Zeppelin) to 2003's "My Immortal" (Evanescence). Davis stays true to the spirit of the originals, and yet makes them his own. Actually, there is one piece on the album that is newer than 2003 - Davis' own "Scherzo." Most of the twelve tracks are intense and rather dark - no bubble-gum teeny-bopper stuff here - so it's obviously geared for a more mature audience. Even though I can remember just some of the words to the oldies that I grew up with and wasn't familiar with the more recent hits, I thoroughly enjoy this album. There should be at least one song here that just about anyone can say, "Oooh! I love that song!"

"Rockfluence" opens with "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, a song full of rock-style tenderness and love. "Hotel California" is given a full almost-eight minute treatment that is very true to the original. "My Immortal" by Evanescence is a quieter slow-dance ballad that Davis fills with passion. "Nothing Else Matters" from Metallica is dark and very intense - a beautiful arrangement! I couldn't quite imagine "Stairway to Heaven" as a piano solo, but it works well! I really like the mystery and drive of "Wanted Dead or Alive" from Bon Jovi. "Open Arms" from Journey is one of my favorite songs from the early `80's, and Davis keeps it warm and loving - also a great arrangement! Another favorite is Europe's "The Final Countdown," a powerful, emotionally charged song with a gorgeous melody. Billy Idol's "White Wedding" really rocks, leading up to the closing track, Davis' own "Scherzo," a musical term that means "joke." I first heard this impressive piece in a live setting, and it really makes people sit up and take notice! Davis' fingers fly all over the piano with the various themes of the piece, which range from slow and almost sedate to a wild and crazy romp that makes me think of chase scenes in old movies. "Scherzo" clearly demonstrates Scott Davis' playing chops as well as his musical sense of humor. Fun!

"Rockfluence" is truly a musical good time, showing what these rock classics sound like stripped down to one instrument and no vocals. Good stuff!

Left a lot to be desired.......2006-12-11

Love GNR, would love alternative versions of their music but this is a wimpy attempt. And dont be snookered into buying both CDs -- they share a handful of the same songs. November Rain is the best of the bunch -- no duh -- it was already an orchestral piece. Very disappointed.

Good CD That Only Empowers The Essence Of The Great Band.......2006-01-05

Very Interesting CD. I was worried when someone surprised me with it, that it would be cover songs with some modern punk rock band ruining these songs. To my surprise, it only added to the legendary band's legacy, by emphasizing on the music behind each song. I will warn you though...Guns N Roses is my 3rd favorite band (behind Nirvana and Faith No More), and I also like classical music...

Let me go over each song...and for the record, none of these songs had pieces cut out like some people mentioned in previous reviews...and the CD totals 1 Hour and some odd seconds, so these songs are pretty much extended versions of the original versions.

1. Welcome To The Jungle - Very interesting track, very strange at first, but once it hits the 'In the jungle...welcome to the jungle' part, it makes the early part blend very well...this is by no means the viscious song we're used to hearing, but its well done, and very smooth.

2. Sweet Child O Mine - Beautiful, like the usual version...pretty much the regular version without words, and using violins...but its very addictive...I love this one.

3. Knockin On Heaven's Door - Easily my least favorite on this CD, despite the fact I love this song's real version...this just proves that this particular song was carried by Axl's voice, because I sorely missed it.

4. Paradise City - Interesting, and high pitched...kinda like Welcome To The Jungle---Violins with pizazz---I honestly don't know how to describe this one...my favorite part of the original version is the 'So far away' part, which is done even better on here...but as a whole, its ok...im not obsessed with the real version of the song anyways

5. Dont Cry - Beautiful. Fantastic. This song could melt, and still be a fine sculpture. This is my favorite Guns N Roses song, and just as good on this cd. It plays so awesome that you really can just feel the words going along with it, despite the lack of singing.

6. November Rain - Overall very well balanced. I prefer the real guitar solos over the violins, but its still well done...and definitely not disappointing. Another song you can just feel the words playing along with it...#5+6 easily capture the emotions of their originals.

7. Live And Let Die - A little tourette's to me...has a little jump in the famous guitar riff (or violin riff in this case)...honestly dont care for it on the cd...and its merely ok to me original-wise. This song doesn't get hurt or anything, so if you like the original, imagine it slower...simple as that.

8. Mr. Brownstone - Very odd choice, IMO (You Could Be Mine, Rocket Queen, Its So Easy probably should of took its spot)...but still well done. Again, not obsessed with the original version...but this is still well done and rivals it...I would prefer this version a little more, because it adds a little pizazz (or jumpyness...hyperness...i dunno)

9. Yesterdays - Beautiful. This version mainly has the music replacing the words (another words you dont hear that basketball bouncing type of sound or whatever) They dont overdo it, and once again, its one you could feel the words along with it...

10. Patience - I miss the whistling, but they try to replace it...another song where the music replaces the words (or another words the music plays as if it were the words to the song)...very well done, but i didnt care for the little jump to end the song (imagine the three stooges for a second...and after the theme song is over it has a little 'dunhhh'...thats what I mean by a little jump)...I still like this version though

11. 14 Years - Awesome. It has a spiffyness that kinda gives you a little adrenaline or motivation to do something while listening to it. I dunno...I just like it. The speed transition from being upbeat to slowing up is done perfectly...I love it.

12. Civil War - Another one where you could sing alone easily...slowed up, but has the most emotion of the cd put into it. On paper it wouldn't look like a perfect song to end the cd with, but it actually works really well.

Overall, I love this CD

Top 5 Would Be:
1. Dont Cry, 2. 14 Years, 3. Yesterdays, 4. Sweet Child O Mine, 5. November Rain

No weak song, and none that are clearly dusted by their originals...but I do feel Live And Let Die and Knockin On Heavens Door were not as good...the rest are right up there, if you feel like listening to them, but dont feel like headbanging...I realize a lot of people love Guns N Roses for their viscious rock (Welcome To The Jungle being the obvious song)...if thats what you're looking for...it aint happening here...this is just an upbeat CD that captures emotions from these songs...great to listen to int he daytime while driving

WOW.......2005-08-25

This is a very interesting album. I bought this one along with the string quartet to velvet revolver. They are both awesome, but this one has more color to it. Along with the strings, there's a double bass played and a percussionist. What I find intriguing, is that the percussion isn't played throughout the whole song like you would expect; it's done very tastefully. Over the last few days, I've had it playing when friends and a contractor came to my house, and they all made good comments about it. I had a contractor at my house just today installing windows in my living room, and he said, "now I could listen to this." My ex-girlfriend came over two days ago during the first or second song, and she ended up sitting on a footstool having fun trying to figure out each song while I stayed busy hanging sheetrock. Her favorite was "sweet child o' mine." my favorites were "Welcome to the Jungle," and i just loved what they did with "Paradise City, and Mr. Brownstone."

NOT a note for note translation.......2004-11-21

If your expecting complete GnR songs you are going to be disappointed, like myself. All the covers just take the lyrical medley and some of the key riffs from the songs and then improvise the rest.
Since I had heard other quartets like Torn Tally (TOOL COVERS) and Apocalyptica (METALLICA COVERS) the bar was set extremely high, especially after hearing Apocalyptica blaze through the solos on Metallica's song ONE! I don't think Angry String Orchestra covers any GnR solos completely.They play the parts of the solos they can and then just improvise for the parts they can't play. It's very disappointing.
For Example they sort of get the first solo down for November Rain but then come to the second solo and they just repeat the first solo instead of playing the notes that are supposed to be played and finally at the end of November Rain the end solos are SLOWED WAAAAAAAAY down. Come to think of it, I think the tempo of all the songs covered are slowed waaay down. There is NO solo for Don't Cry and the solo for Sweet Child O' Mine is the Viola player just running the same scale over and over again.
I bought this album because I'm a big GnR fan and because when I saw the guy in the video "The Making of November Rain" with his viola jam the end solos to November Rain on it, I knew orchestral versions of GnR songs would sound badd-ass. Unfortunately, this group didn't recruit that guy with his viola to play on this album. This album falls WAAAAY short of what it could be.
Maybe GnR Fans will get lucky and Apocalyptica or Torn Tally will cover some GnR Songs (especially November Rain) and play them correctly instead of just following the lyrical medley and some of the keys riffs. I think the Sweet Child O' Mine solo would sound incredible on a viola or cello. Until then one can only hope.
Sincerely,
grmpysmrf

ARGH.......2004-10-05

Sweet Child O' Mine is the best song of all time ... That is, Guns N' Roses's version, with Slash's catchy tunes, Axl's great voice, Izzy's amazing guitar, Duff's fun bass, Steve's great drums... And so came this !"$(="$! This is the WORST SONG of all time, it's like a slap in the face to Guns N' Roses! What happened to the amazing guitar solo? And who's this silly woman with that amazingly BAD voice? And why are so many "$)(" giving this crap 5 stars and saying it's BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL? OMG! To like this song, you've got to be deaf. I hope Sheryl Crow is hit by a truck or something.

EXCELLENT!! *.*.......2002-07-26

THIS IS THE BEST SONG IN THE WORLD, OF COURSE IN ONLY MY OPINION. I LIKE IT SO MUCH BECAUSE MY MOM USED TO SING IT TO ME WHEN I WAS A BABY. IT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN REMEMBER. SO THAT'S WHY I LOVE THIS SONG *SOOOOO* MUCH.

A great cover!.......2002-02-07

Sheryl Crow has demonstrated her keen abilities as a musician, producer, and interpreter on music on this cover song. When I first heard about Sheryl covering this Guns n' Roses classic, I'll admit I was skeptical. The GNR song is one of my all-time favorite rock-songs. But Crow's interpretation not only shines, it makes me forget all about Mr. Rose completely. Her work only gets better & better. If you don't get a chance to purchase Sheryl's version of "The Globe Sessions" that includes this song, definitely purchase the single - it's well worth the money.

Good, but the original version is better.......2000-10-23

GUNS AND ROSES SONG IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT I EVER HEARD,BUT THIS VERSION IS GOOD...BECAUSE GUNS AND ROSES IS ONLY ONE.

Better than the original.......2000-03-08

It's been said that Axl Rose doesn't like this remake, but I think it's better than the original version. Sheryl gives this song a lyricism and intimacy that is completely absent from the GnR version. When I heard this version, I thought "This song isn't so bad after all..." I recommend it. Sheryl Crow is emerging as one of the most musical artists of our time, and she has done a great job with this remake.

Customer Reviews:

Renaissance was better than this.... .......2007-01-11

In purchasing this CD, I was anticipating music that reflects the excitement that was the Renaissance. Instead, I felt I was listening to middle age dirges. I confess, I've not listened to the CD again.

my favorite christmas cd.......2005-10-31

Usually period music is so poorly produced and cliche, but this CD is flawless. The quality of sound is amazing; the beauty of the music transcends time and space. If you buy one Christmas CD, buy this one. It's the perfect elegant moodsetter for the season.

Great for a snowy night and a quite house.......2000-12-06

I first heard cuts off this CD on the syndicated early music program Harmonia and was enchanted by it. I ordered it the next day and wasn't disappointed after it arrived. The CD comprises various English, French, & Italian carols, dance tunes, noels, and melodies from the 16th century.

I'm not a trained musician so please forgive my lack of detailed musical critique. The tracks consist mostly of the heavenly vocals of the six members of the New York's Ensemble For Early Music, with a mixture of period instruments thrown in for good measure. Listening to it all, you can easily picture an advent service in a 16th cent. French cathedral. If you're looking for a beatiful peaceful collection of music to add to your holiday collection, this is it.

When looking for "the most".......2001-05-14

A local New York professional opera enthusiast has concluded that Corelli is the most popular operatic tenor, followed by Jussi Bjoerling. But if the question is, who had the most beautiful tenor voice ever impressed upon wax, we must lift up John McCormack. Here is true bel canto which no one else has ever equalled. These two CD's contain some of the most exquisite sounds ever issued by a human throat. Let the galleries declare their enthusiasm for stentorian high C's, the real lover of great singing will find much more to their like her than in all the verisssimo arias. Listen to the two "Mefistofele" Arias (Boito) and ask yourself if they have ever since been so beautifully sung. This recording belongs in the collection of every aspiring tenor, just to remind what can be accomplished by art and perfect singing.

A superb McCormack collection.......2000-10-21

If you remember hearing transfers of acoustic recordings to LP, you remember how hard it was to really connect with the music and performer through all the rumble, noise and resonance. This audio restoration is the most astonishing technical feat I have ever heard. The noise is now only a gentle background presence, not the roar of yesteryear. And even more important, it is constant in volume- in other words not a distraction. The fidelity really lets us hear what the early recording engineers really achieved. That said, what this brings to us are the performances of one of the world's greatest singers in richly emotional popular songs (and a few opera arias). There are so many of those old sentimental pieces no one could get away with recording anymore, but hold such a splendid reward for those of us who love them. John McCormack's recordings receive with this reissue the wonderful presentation they so richly deserve. Many many thanks to the label and Mr. Marston who made it possible.

Simply the Best.......2000-01-27

This along with Vol. 1 is simply the best McCormack transfers available from this period. The master of the trade, Ward Marston has outdone himself this time. Waiting for Vols. 3,4,5!

HX Magazine Review:.......2005-11-10

HX Magazine Review:
Way more fun than Sheryl Crow's cover, Crazy Pill 's version of the Guns 'n' Roses rock masterpiece "Sweet Child o' Mine" kicks off with a dance-rock beat reminiscent of The Clash's "Rock the Casbah," then morphs into pure U.K. dance pop. The female lead vocals sound a little like Lisa Stansfield but in a higher register and softer tone. The Electro Extended mix offers a slowed tempo, '80s nuwave hand claps, pleasant pipe organs and synthesizer stabs. While the Lazyfunk Deep House mix lives up to its name - funky and deep - it places additional peppy melodies over danceable drums. Hardcore rockers will find the mixes blasphemous, but those who like Top 40 club music will be thrilled.
