LTD Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Great job dude. I'd ditch the dumb bloated intro as it is on the album; song, your version, AFD feel and children in Africa have always suffered from it. Song has 25 seconds of dead air to it at start. Ditto on what was said about drums. I'd like to believe I can def hear what you were going for and I think you got there. Great job rly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I don't get why people make this stuff. Same with the fan-made "remixes". Compete bullcrap. Yes, GnR fucked it up. But that's the way it was released. Deal with it. Today every kid with Adobe Audition is convinced he can do a better job on a professionally mixed album. And with CD, they're probably right. But I still strongly dislike the attitude. Take it the way the artist put it out. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Take it the way the artist put it out.Nah, fuck it, because the artist is not always right. Especially in cases like this, where the artist changed it so many times from start to finish, that they clearly had no clue what they were doing by the end.

Hell, I've been claiming the opposite since 2008. He massively cocked up. But this whole mess of people tweaking it from behind their computers isn't making it better really. It bombed. They got it wrong. But we have to accept that. I can't imagine looking on my iPod and trying to decide between the Adobe Alan Acoustic Remix version and the Preteen Geek Squad Dubstep techno remix. They (GnR) messed it up. Fine. But I don't believe in all sorts of kids on their computers trying to correct Axl's wrongs. I'm sure there are even people who feel Dark Side Of The Moon could sound better and tweak it. They're wrong, but some think so anyway. Point in case - I don't like these things because they lack authenticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSoftie Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The guitar work is good but it doesn't have an Appetite feel... Someone mentioned the drums, and that's part of it, but CD just isn't a song the AFD line-up would've written. It doesn't translate, unless you re-work the whole song, if you get what I mean. The only song from Chinese that I think could maybe work like that might be I.R.S.I feel like CD could be turned into a ISE type song to get that appetite feel.

Gackt Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The problem is ChiDem and Appetite are two totally different albums, in terms of style, structure and technique. The title track especially gets away from the generic hard rock song formula with an ambient opening, layers of experimental guitar solos and progression. Bastardizing a track with Slash-style sloppy licks only takes away the artistic vision and intent just to appeal to a rockist audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Ernie Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 No I would not.Chinese Democracy is a near perfect album. On par with 'Bat Out Of Hell'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockerRoller Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I really liked that solo and the ending guitar work as well. I can tell you tried adding more adler flare with using the bass drum more than the snare and overall great job dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
