I know, so hopefully he plays again on some songs.

I enjoyed a handful of tracks from his 2010 solo album. Anastasia is also great, from one of his subsequent solo records if I'm not wrong. Of course it would be awesome if they had Axl guest sing on a song. Sebastian Bach as well. Josh Freese on drums of course would be amazing. And/or Brain. Matt too, and Steven for maybe one or two songs that are fitted to his style. Maybe he can have Robin and/or Buckethead guest on a song if he wants to have multiple leads.

I agree. I'd love a Village locker type leak, but of all the material from 2002-2010. One can dream!

That's all a matter of opinion. CD2 probably would of had similar production to the 2008 album if it was released on or prior to the reunion era. Most of these new re-heated CD songs with NITL are mixed like garbage. I assumed that was the consensus to most fans here, at least those with an ear for that type of thing. I wouldn't complain as much about the slow drip of singles if they were at least mixed and mastered well. It makes all the difference.

It’s less of a mess than the 2021 release. We can’t even tell if the drums on it are from a drum machine or a person. That’s bad.

They praise them because they are cohesive songs, contributed to by the band that created them.

The Village leaks were rough mixes. The fact they are even compared to the officially released versions speaks volumes for the poor butchering of those songs and even worse production of the final stonewalled product.

Hehe well it's working! We did get a few seconds of Robin in the official Perhaps. I need to try harder though.

Is it wrong that I would prefer the ~'99 rerecorded AFD over an actual AFD lineup tour/show?

The hell kind of a name is Jarmo anyways? Sounds like Elmo's brother or something.

She looks hella good, especially in stockings. Anyone have her number? Maybe she can hook us up with some CD2 tunes.

Right, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist.

Axl said it at least two or three times.

Please don't perpetuate CD2 songs as being CD2 songs because they were not good enough for the first album.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed!

Good to know! Thanks. He did play in Michigan on the other side of the state from me a few years back, but I opted not to go because it was in or near Flint.

I like a few of the songs from Myles Kennedy's Ides Of March album. I don't think I could stand his singing for more than an hour though, if that.

Happy birthday, Axl!

I wonder if Taylor Swift has access to or the connections to obtain unreleased CD2 material. If so, we need to recruit the hottest men here to try to date her.

I get where you are coming from, but I would argue most albums, even by the big bands, only have a handful at most of good songs. Tons of filler, with a few single worthy songs. Guns is no exception, though I happen to enjoy most of CD and AFD. I feel UYI is half filler, at best between the two CDs. I like If The World, I feel it's one of the best mixed songs they have done.

Tommy was in the band for a very long time. His word is credible. Even if he exaggerated a little, if Axl didn’t record for a year or two, that’s still a lot of recording. They can and do record while on the road. It’s not hard for them to book a recording studio anywhere they happen to be on a tour. It’s not like the band is performing 24/7 while on tour. They get breaks. They gotta eat, they gotta sleep. They rest as well and do fun and productive things while on the road.

While I enjoy every song on CD, the weakest ones to me are Chinese Democracy, Riad, and IRS. Edit: The 2000 mixes of the above put the songs a notch or two above the 2008 mixes, in my opinion.

CD wasn’t a masterpiece, you say? Get the fuck outta here! Just playin. I go back and forth, I think we are all so used to CD that something new or fresh from that era with all the anticipation sounds better.

Maybe they had a version with Axl on lead, or maybe it was never intended as a single or lead single. (Going Down) I suppose anything is possible, seeing how the first "new" Guns song with Slash and Duff back was Absurd. I believe a fan was told by Axl around that same time (late CD-era) that Axl wanted to get Silkworms out. He must really like that song. It is really fun to listen to live.

That is possible, but I believe in 2011 an album was more of a possibility than anything else, especially since multiple unheard songs were reported to have been played at the 2010 after-party. I think bandmembers have commented on CD2 being a little more strange or weird, perhaps it was Richard. So far with what we have heard from it, I agree. (Especially after the Village leaks) Maybe Axl was getting burned out by then, when putting lyrics to the Buckethead songs, thus the simplicity/repedative nature of them compared to some of the more complex/epic or longer 2008 album tunes. Indeed, Perhaps and Atlas, and Hardschool would balance out the Soul Monster, and The General types of songs.
