Guns N’ Roses’ November Rain’s new version is overseen by Steven Wilson and composer Christopher Lennertz
Guns N’ Roses is changing the old into the new.
A 50-piece orchestra provides accompaniment for the new rendition of "November Rain," which maintains the integrity of the rock ballad while while exquisitely enhancing its major crescendo moment.
The track is included in the upcoming Use Your Illusion I & II 30th Anniversary box set.
Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree put together the new arrangement, working with Grammy-winning film/TV composer Christopher Lennertz to develop the orchestral accompaniment.
With newly recorded orchestration in place of the sampled sounds utilized at the time, Wilson stated on Twitter that the new 2022 version is identical to the original in terms of performance and mixing.
Guns N' Roses released a previously announced, revised song as the music video for their blockbuster song surpasses 2 billion views on YouTube.
