Twinaleblood Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I know CD#2 from the locker hasn't leaked yet and it might include some interesting stuff, but while we all wait the mighty Chairman to deliver the goods, I couldn't help creating my own "best of" cd like many of you probably did too. I gave myself a few rules: no songs that came out on Chinese Democracy, using all the other songs with vocals, using some of my favorite instrumentals (especially those who seem to sound great even without a vocal track), try to give the whole thing a decent flow. This is what I came up with (with a few notes here and there): 01. Hardschool Kinda obvious. I wanted the cd to start with a rocker and this definitely works. 02. Tommy Demo #01 I wanted another rocker to follow Hardschool and I picked this song that I didn't really dig at first, but it slowly grew up on me. It fits, after all. Kinda like Shackler's following Chinese on CD, that's how the transition feels like to me. Wonder what's the actual title of this song. 03. Atlas Shrugged Time to start slowing things down a little bit. Atlas is one of my favorite leaks and works just fine in this position. 04. Thyme / 05. State Of Grace I honestly love this little instrumental bit and it works fine to keep things mellow here. No idea if it evolved into its own song or it was just the intro to PRL (which I didn't really like), but this just sounds heartwrenching to me. I think it fits well with State Of Grace (a little masterpiece, one of my favorite leaks) so i overlapped the last note of Thyme with the first one from State Of Grace, turning the former into a sort of intro for the latter. 06. Me & My Elvis 07. Quick Song The version with guide vocals 08. Eye On You Probably my least favorite of the leaks. The first time I put this cd together I literally forgot to add it, that says a lot.09. Perhaps 10. Goin' Down 11. As It Began I put this here as a little interlude, sort of intro to the most diverse part of the tracklist. 12. Inside Out / 13. Nothing / 14. Dummy These are three tracks that share, each in its own way, a sort of "pop" feel. I worked them out as a sort of little trilogy. For 'Inside Out' I used a fixed version I made myself with that big glitch removed. Also, I somehow edited the abrupt ending so that it would have a slightly smoother transition into the first note of 'Nothing'. 'Dummy' is probably my favorite instrumental with Me & My Elvis. While I can see a vocal track improving the latter, I just can't imagine what kind of vocals might go on Dummy. The acoustic hook is simply amazing though, been playing this for days. 15. Silkworms Always felt like a closing track to me. I left out many other tracks I dig (Oklahoma, Devious Bastard, Prom Violence, Zodiac...) either because I couldn't find a "fitting" spot for them or just because I didn't want the instrumentals to overpower the vocal tracks. This tracklist of 15, clocking at 60 mins, just feels nice to me. How do you like it? Maybe you want to try to put the songs in this order and see yourself. Also, I would love to hear the tracklists of the cds you made for yourself as well. Edited October 6, 2019 by Twinaleblood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Matinator Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) I took all the songs with vocals, used 2000 intentions as the name (figured it worked well for a bunch of demos/unreleased songs) and used a modified red hand CD cover: Hard School OMG Atlas Shrugged SOG Nothing Tommy Demo #1 Eye on You Quick Song Going Down Silkworms Perhaps I was originally going to wait till rough mixes #2 leaked to compile an instrumental album but I'm still waiting lol. I was also thinking of putting together an alternate version of CD using the locker/remix discs along with the 2009 rehearsal Scraped so we'll see if I end up doing that.

megaguns1982 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) IMO only three of the leaks were worth a damn. Perhaps atlas hardschool i probably would have cared more about the other stuff if it were 2006 over again and I was still in my early 20s but now I'm old Edited October 6, 2019 by megaguns1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I don't know if 2000 Intentions is the right name but these songs should've been put on a CD re-release or 'tour edition cd' or whatever else they were planning between 2009-2011. Something like this would've been great: 1. Hardschool 2. Oh My God (w/ Buckethead, Brain and Ron) 3. Silkworms 4. State of Grace 5. Perhaps 6. Atlas Shrugged 7. Going Down (w/ Axl backing vocals) (Bonus tracks) 8. This I Love (remix) 9. Eye On You 10. Shackler's Revenge (remix) 11. If The World (remix) 12. Better (acoustic) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still stand by what I said years ago that GnR should by a server and set up a Use Your Illusion streaming service with the proshots from all the shows, plus all the behind the scenes footage. Just call it Use Your Illusion Plus (+) or some shit. Edited October 6, 2019 by rocknroll41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackparker123 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 This is the album I've made out of my favourite leaked songs, I've avoided using anything that ended up on the final Chinese Democracy. Hardschool Atlas Strugged Me & My Elvis Perhaps Devious Bastard State Of Grace Dub Suplex Silkworms Nothing Oklahoma Eye On You Quicksong Going Down Knocking On Heavens Door (Acoustic) I'll probably end up squeezing a couple more instrumentals in there but I don't want it ending up too instrumental heavy. What a time to be a GNR fan! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacha Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Of the rough mixes I stay with: State of grace - Atlas - Perhaps - Hard School: Because they are almost complete and are very good songs. Better than many in the Chinese (album) Catcher - Riad: These two songs were particularly destroyed in the CD versions. Rough mixes sound much better KOHD: Good acoustic version Eye on you: It is not up to the other songs, although I like the vocal part. I am realizing that after all this exhausting process of rough mixes leaking, I am left with quite a bit. What depress! The rest of the songs we already knew, it is interesting to listen to previous versions, but I prefer the CD versions. I'm already used to the album versions and I'm not going to change them. I don't like Silkworms. I prefer a version that I have, I think fanmade. Going down, I also keep the previous leak. About the instrumentals, it was interesting to listen to them, especially knowing how some mythical songs are, such as Oklahoma, Thyme, Soulmonster, but I find it very boring to listen to instrumentals. I don't think I will listen to those instrumentals many more times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
