    Just release the Chinese leftovers as an Axl Rose solo album, in all its industrial / electronic glory just as Axl intented.

    And then create a new guitar driven GnR album from scratch.

    This...... Is magic. Totally agree and would be a legendary move. 

    Someone tell the janitor, to tell Fernando, to tell Axl that this is what the real fans want.

    Holding out hope for a 2039 Chinese Democracy boxset with all the Finck/Bucket versions of Soul Monster, The General, Seven, etc. (1 year after the 30th anniversary since both the AFD and UYI boxsets missed the 30th anniversaries by one year as well).

    If this doesn't happen, I'll be a millionaire by then, and will purchase CD 2 somehow

    Hopefully Perhaps is the first single from the forthcoming album that they will finish up in Oct-dec.

    In that case it means that Aburd/HS is not part of the new album but Perhaps is and it makes sense that they waited to release it as they have worked on the album during and before the tour. 

    This is of couse just hopeful thinking, but there can be some truth to it..

    No truth mate, there's no album coming. They'll sale off into the sunset off their high saling tour, with NO plans to record anything new. Sad but true. Sorry.

    Brain's drums on the disc with the three versions are fucking amazing, I wish they mixed Axl better on that disc. 

    Aside from Perhaps having two verses repeated, it's solid as is, IMO, I suppose that works for that song. 

    I sure as fuck hope they keep Brain's drums on Atlas, and with Perhaps, I assume they will use Brain's take instead of Josh's take. Unless Frank did drums for either. They mixed Brain's drums on Absurd far too low, IMO. It's painful listening the the 2008 album, then the two new singles and comparing the quality of mixing. The 2008 album being mixed pretty damn well, except for the bass IMO it needed 1-2 dB boost but aside from that it and the mastering was wonderful. 

    The entire CD 1-2 with no Bumblefoot (Bucket's parts restored) with Tommy's bass cranked up a bit, oh that would be the bee's knees!

    This sums up my thoughts precisely. Loved album mixing/mastering, really quality and highlights the haphazard approach to recent 2 songs. 

    Atlas drums up 1.5 is simply stunning and perfect as is, so not looking forward to there eventual remix of it. Always thought that if the Hardschool VL version, had the same drum mix/ treatment it would sound better imo, although with saying this, it's still my fav version. Also, Perhaps is fine as is. Just needs to be mixed to 2008 standard Imo.

    Higher than an actual album being released in my opinion.

    It's pretty crazy that we've never had a proper leak of The General when you think about it. Especially considering all the Chinese Democracy material that's leaked over the years.

    Those 2019 leaks were an incredible time to be a fan of GNR.

    Hope your right, CD2 leaks could be better too. Axl was on form in those years, very melodic music. 2019, I was hanging on the forum day/night, brilliant memories

    Possibilities in order of likelihood …

    1. an album is never formally released, but CDII castoffs trickle out as singles, as HS and Absurd did, with guitars and bass re-recorded by Slash and Duff. I reckon this is the most likely course of events. 

    2. no album is released at all until Axl dies 

    3. an album of CDII material is released with slash and duff re-recording and reworking the guitar/bass. 

    4. CDII cast offs cease to be released and they start trickling out new music written by the band as they are now.

    5. as above, but a full album of brand new music is released. 
     

    on this scale, I think between 1 and 2 is likely. If we are to trust the band (which I don’t) 3 has a narrow chance of happening at some point, though I don’t think it will (personal opinion). Anything else, personally, I think is pure fantasy. 
     

    im aware some people will say regarding number 2, we know Perhaps is in the pipeline, and SOG and Atlas Shrugged are probably getting similar treatment… so nothing else ever again isn’t likely. But in terms of an album, I think it’s unlikely we’ll get one in the bands lifetime. 
     

     

    What's the liklihood of CD2 LEAKS?
