Like the vocal delivery Every version of IRS uses the exact same vocal tracks as the one released on CD. The same is true of ALL of the demos. The actual vocals are identical on every single version, even Oh My God. Exceptions being the few lines changed at the end of The Blues and of course the This I Love remix which appears to actually have been re-recorded. There's no difference in the rest of the versions as far as the vocals go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedHook 72 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) 13 minutes ago, WAR41 said: Wow these reviews of the leak have me excited. To me the cream of the crop on CD is TWAT. Sounds like some of you think it may be on that level. I agree, TWAT is the best song on Chin Dem. I was surprised it was not released as a single after Better. Sadly, by then it didn't matter anyways. The whole thing with releasing Chinese Democracy as the lead single and Better two weeks later messed it all up. The fact that the Better video didnt surface until years later sure didnt help much. But yeah, TWAT deserved a better fate. It screams hit single, and would have been a better choice than Street of Dreams Edited August 28, 2019 by RedHook 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stress Fracture 815 Posted August 28, 2019 Catcher is the one song where I’ve never seen any love for the final version. It was one the most popular of the leaked tracks, really well written and simply ended up sounding like an unpleasant, stodgy mess buried under layers and layers of production and overdubs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WAR41 328 Posted August 28, 2019 Heard the 1 minute version with various clips. I'm intrigued by Atlas, but still for me it isn't on the same level as TWAT. But obviously I'm judging based on 10 seconds. Hope to hear the full version soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been waiting a very long time to hear what that sounds like, and to know that its finally in play is amazing TBH I guess AFD '99 is a hoax. Not that it's not real but I can't imagine someone outside the camp has such a thing as full AFD 99 studio album. Correct me if I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I mentioned it in a previous thread, but they re-recorded YCBM and Patience in place of Anything Goes according to Axl. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, the guy who got ahold of the discs claims there’s also an acoustic KOHD on there, tacked on at the end I believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just listen to the Big Daddy version. They surely didn’t play it like that in 01-02. Id be interested in hearing that band’s spin on it. Just like Taylor Swift claiming to re-record her first few albums to cut people out of revenues, it’d be interesting to see if these versions lend you to believe that was going to be the attempt there or if it was more glorified rehearsals as claimed Edited August 28, 2019 by guitarpatch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyMick3 28 Posted August 28, 2019 Atlas sounds great from this medley. Why on earth Axl decided to release stuff like Riad over this is baffling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He then totally walked that back much later and said that was never the intention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
