With these new leaks, here is my suggestion for an optimal record from the CD era, an improved Chinese Democracy, if you will:

 

1. Chinese Democracy (the leaked version with the awesome bass during the verses and without Bumble's tacked-on solo)
2. Shackler's Revenge
3. Better
4. Atlas Shrugged
5. Hardschool
6. There Was A Time
7. Catcher in the Rye (the leaked version with Brian May's solo and without Bumble's chaotic outtro solo)
8. Perhaps
9. State of Grace
10. Sorry
11. I.R.S (the leaked version with less guitars)
12. Madagascar (likely a simpler version)
13. This I Love
14. Prostitute

 

This album is awesome. The best GN'R album of all times.

Nice list! Me personally would put Oh My God instead of Shaklers and Street of Dreams should be an additional song!!

[TeeJay410]

1. CD Beaven/Josh

2. OMG

3. State of Grace

4. Hardschool

5. Better

6. Atlas

7. Twat

8.  Catcher with May

9. The blues with ’02 intro

10. Going down (Tommy and Axl version)

11. Irs

12. Riad

13. Perhaps

14. Prostitute

 

And in my dream world, every Bucket track put back and every bumble track removed, Josh Freese drumming.

Although I do like everybody's enthusiasm on these tracklists and I don't wanna sound greedy cuz we've already got way more than I could have hoped for, but I'm just over here waiting for 3-7 more songs to leak so I can put together my own version of CDII/PRL.

FWIW these are all my ChiDem-related fanmade bootlegs. I had to do some rebranding on some of the songs, but I finally have enough songs to make what I like to call Chinese Democracy - Vol. II.

great man. I'm gonna try these tracklists. I'm a junkie for alternative tracklists

1. CD demo with Josh

2. Better

3. If the World (more cut down, like the live versions, no stupid siren)

4. Hard School

5. State of Grace

6. Perhaps

7. There Was a time (like the Hammerstein version)

8. IRS

9. The Blues

10. Madagascar

11. This I Love

Thanks! Same here! I actually just got rid of the Brain version of the title track from 2000 Intentions and moved Oh My God over to ChiDem - Vol. II, as the second-to-last song. Both “albums” still flow pretty well tho!

[rocknroll41]

Played around with my tracklist for 2000 Intentions a little more. This flows better:

1.Chinese Democracy (w/Freese) 2.IRS (2000) 3.Street of Dreams (2000) 4.There Was A Time (2000) 5.Catcher in the Rye (2000) 6.Riad N’ the Bedouins (2000) 7.Going Down (2000) 8.Prostitute (Version 2)

So I was thinking of compiling an alternate version of CD with the same tracklist but alternate versions ('99 CD, '01, SOD, remix TIL) when I ran into a bit of a problem.

Maybe I'm having a vivid hallucination but didn't the live intro to Scraped (not the whole song just the Frank drum part/Axl vocals) leak in 2009 but everybody thought it was fake? I clearly remember watching a YouTube clip of it.

Ditch Madagascar and throw in The Blues. I'd also cut Sorry for Oh My God.

Wasn't a leak, just a (good) fan remix.
