Gordon Comstock Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I wish there was a good quality recording of the first Wembley 2006 show, where they played Sailing, Back In The USSR, and Sway with Izzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the Beatles could, Elvis didn't, Hendrix, Clapton. I'm pretty sure Axl has mentioned he can but I'm not sure about any of the other guys. McCartney eventually learnt to read music and even has a sizable discography of classical compositions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassplayer1993 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 It just hit me now... For some reason with all the locker room discs and amazing ideas with no vocals... out of all of them... I mean there's tons of great ideas. Hell, even proper vocals for "Quick song" would be nice. Axl chose to lay down vocals for "Silkworms". WHY?

Since these disks were filled with work-in-progress mixes and ideas, I am sure they were just one set in a long line of CD sets being made to send to each other for reference periodically. In this particular period of time Axl may have just happened to have more fully fleshed out ideas for Silkworms and was working out melodies for the others and waiting for good enough ideas to lay down onto tape At least that is my own theory anyways, I definitely wished there were some versions of Zodiac, Quick Song, and Soul Monster with full vox on those disks!

Yea, but Axl only played 5 new songs live in 2001, and one of them was Silkworms... off all the songs he could've played to show off the new band, like Hardschool, State of Grace, Perhaps, TWAT, IRS, etc... he played Silkworms. I think he legitimately thought it was one of their better rockers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU HAVE BUCKETHEAD, why play silkworms.. no prostitute, no TWAT, no ITW :/ Also, am I crazy for not hating the Yellow rock in Rio jacket?

Nah, the jacket is just associated with a bad show. If it had been a great show the jacket would've been praised and probably a petition started to put it in the Smithsonian alongside Fonzie's leather jacket. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by that time, TWAT didn't have Bucket's outro solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant, by 2001/02, they we're saving stuff like TWAT, Prostitute, Catcher, IRS... for the actual release. Obviously, that didn't happen.

Manfisman Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I was listening to Madagascar today. What a fucking great song. That MLK speech on the middle part is genius. Axl got a lot of shit for the OTGM lyrics but not that much praise for this. Listen to that middle section today, I think it really speaks about the times that we are living. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
