Popular Post NicoRourke Posted July 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2016 There are so many things to listen to on Chinese. I want to isolate every single part and listen. So many different things falling into combination here and there during one song. Damn I love that album. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Un42nutzly Posted July 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2016 Album doesn't get enough credit. It's a masterpiece musically, and I bet that video just scratches the surface. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Too bad no one ever cared for having Axl explaining more things about this album. I have so many questions about it and the songs and the lyrics and the whole China thing, zero answers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ive heard all of these before and the TWAT acoustic guitar is just amazing, the whole instrumental can be used for a movie score. The bucket solo of SOD is not hidden, its the outro solo which is now played by Fortus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6lake sa66ath Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 They could write a novel about the making of this album. In fact I wish someone should. So many stories behind it's development, recording and subsequent release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyman Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ironic that Baz's voice is auto-tuned considering how much shit he and Axl were talking about it during that 2006 radio interview 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Nobody actually uses autotune nowadays. Probably melodyne. I assume they probably made that way to achieve a certain effect. Seeing as it can be done to sound much more natural than that. Edited July 5, 2016 by Jw224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never read this one, maybe a few parts, but it's so long and I don't have time. Also, not very handy, maybe that person who compiled all that could make a PDF kind of file and make it easier to go through and read. That'd be great!

Under Finck's TIL solo is one of the most beautiful orchestrations by Beltrami that is completely buried in the final mix. Thankfully those Rock Band multi tracks allowed fans to hear all the cool shit buried in the songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikosgnr Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Such an amazing stuff for such an underrated album. Personally just LOVE it. In my ears, CD is Axl's masterpiece, with perfectionism in high level. TWAT on the video is just awesome. Reminds me the clean version of CD I already have.

cremefraiche Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Very cool. The meticulousness that went in to the recording and production of this album is Brian Wilson-esque. What an outstanding achievement for Axl, the catharsis is palpable throughout. Such a shame the cynical internet generation didn't even give it a chance when it was released. Makes ya think that if they released the EXACT same album with the current line up it'd do a lot better commercially and critically simply because it's slightly cooler to like GNR in 2016 than it was in 2008. Definitely one of my all-time favourite albums, top 20 for sure. Edited July 6, 2016 by cremefraiche 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Excellent album. It's amazing how much is going on in each song and it's cool to go through each layer in the songs just to see how cool it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willl Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Very cool video! Thanks for posting, I'd only ever noticed 2 of these. ("I Love You" in Prostitute and 3 vocals in Shacklers.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
