Shaolin Punk

Interesting that the chords and part before the original song had to have been recorded to fit as it even plays the main lick in a clean tone just before the original kicks in, question is was it done by slash?

Wowser.... That guy must love looking at himself.

Cringetastic

Looking at the current vote, there are 2 people who need to be named and shamed.

I'm the Welcome to the Jungle guy.... Sue me :p

I prefer all the other songs.... Maybe that'll change in time, maybe not 

Great topic! 

Actually for me, in Think About You alongside the acoustic arpegiated pattern in the chorus, I always loved how the chord sequence at the end perfectly sets up the right tonality for the beginning of sweet child. Great musical/dynamic moment!

I'd prefer something completely new, written by the current lineup that kicks ass and that nobody has ever heard of.

There's zero chance they'll be getting any more cash cow money from me until they pull a new album out of the bag, until then I'll invest in a band that cares about giving their fans awesome content, like Metallica do.

Yeah, my bad, I meant LALD.

Cool cool, thanks for clarifying!

Just now, Ak1nney said:

No. It's just a delay/echo/reverb like the intro to Jungle.

In Absurd? I missed the LALD one so can't comment... But in Absurd it's 100% a sample

Are the LALD screams enhanced? Thought I just saw Axl pull the mic away half way through one..

Slash is looking cool tonight. His get up reminds me of his look at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

I know that Melissa triggers samples of Axholes scream in Abturd, maybe she has a pile of them waiting for certain songs!?

It made me confused the first times I listened to it too. But I think Axl is Into those kind of things in music, small things that sounds "off". The industrial scene that he obviously is a fan of is full of them. Slagging each other off because you differ in your subjective taste in music seems pretty unnecessary, no?

Agreed about the sagging off, but I went on the attack against whoever 'norespect1982' is because, well, it seemed kinda deserved lol. 

It could have been an artistic choice regarding the badly placed vocal paste, but it just doesn't seem to work at all

You “don’t get”. You are not an artist, presumably not a musician, have no musical talent, not really in a position to judge the artistic choices of a band that has sold millions of albums and say that they have let a mistake slip through. If you don’t get it than thats your problem. Personally that off beat timing of “screaming fucking banshee” is one of the best things about the song. It’s chaotic, frantic and aggressive. I love it.

No. You don't get it kiddo, it's cut and pasted out of time. It sounds shit and detracts from the pulse of the music. 

Your comments are ridiculously dumb. 

Judging by your comments you're probably a substandard musician too, like 'that guy' in many fledgling bands that just can't 'get it' with a difficult rythmn... and then gets angry and storms out. I bet that's you. 

Ouch.

None of the options fitted what I'd make him do if i had the final say.....

Make him finally get properly fit and healthy, like a long-distance runner type healthy, with stamina.... and force that weak bitch to do some actual singing practice - you can tell he doesn't sing between tours.

You've got one job, Axl.... just do it.... remove that gluttonous lifestyle and finally kick some actual ass again.

I'd definitely love to see footage from them in the recording studio in the box set

I believe it says something like "Music by Scarly" and "Noise by Slash". No reason to get excited unfortunately.

Aha, I just went back and saw that part - well spotted!

I don't know what it is, but I believe I can hear some piano in that which is very unusual for Slash's regular music 🤔

My thoughts exactly, I recorded it just in case

Yo yo yo - does anybody know what the music is that's on Meegans Instagram story?

It says 'noise in the background by @slash'... 

Doubtful that it would be some kinda snippet from Guns, that wouldn't be very smart, but I didn't recognise the song

What are the guitars after the green bc rich ?

BC Rich Mockingbird blonde and red, as far as I can tell (there's a definitively shaped top 'horn' on the body)

Gotcha. Seems like there's always so much cloak & dagger going on with GNR tracks. It's crazy to me how a band with so little output can still have unheard stuff from the early days. 

Oh well, I appreciate the info. Here's hoping more stuff for us to listen to comes out

So true, man! It's only second hand info from some lurking on my part, but that's how it seems to be - but hey, if it gets us some unheard UYI outtakes/Mixes/Anything, then I'll be a happy bunny! When i heard the Coma clip i was stoked and hopeful for more of the vaulted/hoarder stuff to come out! Fingers crossed hey!

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but what's with the supposed secracy around these? 

From what I know this was part of a power play between some people infighting and someone leaked these clips as a result, which may have an effect on the full tracks becoming available, hence the hush hush nature of it... But they're out there now so who knows what will happen next!

Been mega busy at work, but let's give it a try.  I'm willing to give the vocals a shot. Only have an audio interface, garage band & an SM58 and can't mix for sh**. 😁 I'll DM you tomorrow since I am at a wedding today.

Sounds good! I'm busy with work too and I'll have to write the song into a jangle-swaggering acoustic thing, whilst keeping it on point, but it shouldn't be difficult and we can keep it at the same or similar tempo, as its not too bad. It'll just take time to put it all together and we'll see what happens

Okay, any great acoustic arrangers in the house? 🤘

Actually I'm pretty good with acoustic stuff and have the facility to record quite hq stuff - inbox me up

Awesome work, @username!!!

Very interesting to go through

Tough vote. I went with Coma though purely for the structural dynamics of the song. Loco has been great to hear, but the former gets it for me...

They should down tune Coma so Axl can stop eating his own throat trying to sing that high for that long in the coda...
