YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 That sounds waaaay to clean for an ordinary demo. Especially from around '83.Heard it before though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Broskirose Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 You guys do realise there's a few snippets lying around on youtube, right?They sound AWESOME and are probably our best chance at getting music any time soon, even though the dude holding them has milked it a bit - Had run-ins with Axl's lawyer didn't he? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptpHUbK3-pwYeah, i have this "song" but i think the music is obviously fake (but good, i dig the riffs), but the vocals are real and maybe from the Rapidfire days....also this "song" rumoured to be the tape from the Zakk Wylde sessions.Sounds like Zakk on guitar for sure.

californiaz06 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) You guys do realise there's a few snippets lying around on youtube, right?They sound AWESOME and are probably our best chance at getting music any time soon, even though the dude holding them has milked it a bit - Had run-ins with Axl's lawyer didn't he? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptpHUbK3-pwDefinitely not early 80s GN'R material. That guitar tone sounds way too close to AFD which was '86+ and Slash was in by then. I think the other poster is right in that this may be the Zakk Wylde era stuff. Sounds a lot like Zakk. But Axls voice sounds very much like his AFD voice....I really don't know but I know its not pre-AFD. Slash coined that sound using a '59 Super Lead. I could see Zakk re-creating that sound later.

DeadSlash Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If this happens, or there are complete songs, can someone shoot me a Prime Minister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 According to Slash & Zakk, they never recorded anything with Axl from the sessions - they just rehearsed for a week, and then a riff ended up on Zakk's BLS Sonic Brew called The Rose Petal Garden (or something recalled from memory). It was around 1995, but all Axl really wanted to do was to fix his problems with lawsuits from different people including Stephanie Seymour and Erin Everly...
