This is my most November Rain/This I Love type song I've done. Hope you enjoy it. You can hear the rest of my songs on the spotify link or youtube.

Is the album in the making, too?

You should really try to sell that stuff, better than quite some people which get money for it.

 

Yes I'm working on 3 new songs which along with the 6 on the EP will be the album. I'm looking to release it in late august. I'll post some previews of the new songs as I finish mixing them as they are already recorded. These are some really catchy rock songs.

How'd you do the guitars?

I plug the guitar to a preamp which is plugged to my computer sound card. I record four clean guitar tracks without any distortion. Then I quantize the guitars. I quantize everything hard to the grid to get a tight sound. I apply eq and compression and filter the bass frequencies out of the tracks.  I then run the guitars through an amp simulator. I use line 6 pod farm, amplitube or guitar rig until I find tones I like. Of the four guitar tracks I choose two main ones which will be mixed louder than the other two and then apply six different distortions or tones and then pan three to the left and three to the right with the two main ones being the loudest. I then import it into Propelerhead Reason, since I mainly work in Reason. To tie it all together I recreate the notes of the guitar in midi and apply Reason's A-list Electric guitarist. So even though it doesn't sound like it on average there's seven guitar tracks playing in the songs I record.

That sounds great, when are you going to release a full LP?

I'm recording a new EP which I'll release soon. I'll post it here.

I recorded an EP recently. I produced, sang and played everything in my bedroom. Some of these songs sound GNRish. I think it sounds really good and big for a home recording. If you want me to tell you about the process of how I recorded this, let me know.

From what I've heard of Frank I think he uses drum samples. Every time he hits a drum or cymbal a drum sample is triggered and that's what you hear.

I decided to start recording my songs. I had to learn how to record and make it sound good. I started with an instrumental orchestral and electronic record to learn basics. I then recorded a rock album which will be coming out very soon. I'll leave a track here hope you enjoy it.
 

Rest of the album (3 orchestral songs, 9 electronic):

I'll be posting the rock record when finished.

I'm in the Matt should be the drummer bandwagon. Just listen at the difference in drumming styles between the two. Matt makes the band sound huge. Frank seems like his uses triggers for drum samples for his sound, which sound kind of thin.

I would like for Axl to at some point release CD 2 as it was originally recorded without any input from Slash and Duff. For a new album I think they have other material they could use. They have the unfinished 1996 album which has anywhere between 7 to 14 instrumentals. Also there's the album Slash, Duff, Izzy and Matt recorded for the project which became Velvet Revolver. Slash said it could have been the best GNR record. There's unfinished Velvet Revolver songs like the Corey Taylor album. Slash has material for his new solo album. Axl must have some unfinished songs that might have been intended for a CD 3, as it's reported he has hundreds of hours of material and ideas. They can get together and write something new.

A solution to the drummer sitaution should be for GNR to play a single show with the classic Appetite line up in a big stadium. And then for the tour replace Adler with Matt/Frank and if Izzy doesn't want to do the tour replace him with Gilby/Fortus.

L.A. Guns resembles GNR the most.

Over The Edge is as good as anything on Use Your Ilusions:

If a reunion ever happened I think they would form a new partnership with the people involved, in which Axl would license the said partnership the use of the GNR name for $1 for an x amount of time for live performances. Since the GNR name is licensed to the new partership all revenue and royalties would go to the new partnership and any content (music, videos, merchandise) produce during that time has the right to use the GNR name indefinitely with approval from all members of the partnership.

I love For A Brother, such a great song with a great chorus, to me the best song from Libertad and one of the best Velvet Revolver songs overall.

Slash interview from 1996. He says the band has around 80 songs between him, Duff and, Axl.

But Duff wasn't involved in Snakepit?

And Axl didn't call Snakepit the best blues rock since Rocks?

How was any of it industrial with just Slash or Tobias or Gilby involved?

The Snakepit record Slash originally wrote it around 1994-1995 for GNR but Axl rejected it. After the Snakepit record Slash returned to the studio with GNR in 1996 and that's the record Axl said sounded like a modern version of Rocks.

Listen to this interview from 1996. Duff mentions GNR is working on new songs, including a song they will record for a Jackie Chan movie. Check the 6:00 minute mark.

Fall to Pieces sounds similar to the song in the Making of Estranged were Axl is whistling, its at least the same chords.

If you know what you're doing you can make a record that sounds better than CD production wise in your own bedroom with a couple thousand dollars in equipment.

I love both songs and also rather listen to them than anything on CD.

To me Asking Alexandria are the modern day Guns N Roses but in a heavier genre. They are heavily influenced by GNR.

The video to the song Closure is influenced by Paradise City and the guitar riff in the chorus was inspired by the riff in Sweet Child O Mine.

They also have a trilogy of videos featuring the Rainbow on the Sunset Strip and give GNR a shout out in the trailer.

They even had there version of a St Louis type of show:

Apparently Izzy wrote this song with Velvet Revolver when he was writing with them:

I'd give a young guy a chance. Like this guy, Jack Vincent of Falling In Reverse:

Slash said when they started VR Izzy came down and they wrote a bunch of songs which he feels would have been the best GNR record ever. I wonder if this is one of those songs.

I'd rather give a young producer like Joey Sturgis a chance. His done an amazing job with all the new bands coming up.
