The vinyl sounds the same. Clipping is a bit less sharp imo but it still sounds bad.

Axl spent quite a while picking his preferred mix and master for Chinese Democracy. As flawed as that mix was at least you could listen to it and enjoy it. It's entirely possible he's over it and just doesn't care now, which is a shame. Don't really see another explanation, the mixes are glaringly bad and I assume he listened to them before they went out. Maybe he's just deaf.

Fans love getting annoyed at their own self-hyping

Honestly the whole shaming other people for their purchases thing is incredibly lame and I see it constantly in this fandom. Like you said, it doesn't make you a better person and it's incredibly lame and annoying behavior.

Lol, the backing vocals are Axl. Your opinion is not law, deal with the fact some people like the song and stop repeating yourself.

If Slash didn't want to work on these songs they would not be out and GNR would probably still be touring. I don't understand why some people think Axl is forcing him to do stuff lol.

Honestly I've heard some fanmade mixes that bring the orchestra up and I think it works better as a subtle thing, coming in when needed

You're so much better than everyone who likes the track, for sure!

I like the song. Just a shame that it sounds like utter crap.

Very much doubt it.

I seem to have hit a nerve here for some reason, I didn't tell you how to feel about it.

I really don't understand how you can listen to that sharp clipping and say it sounds "great", honestly.

Yeah the drums are clipping like hell

Yeah, perhaps was clipped in the mixing stages it seems, as the master isn't clipping. Can definitely hear what you're describing. Popping and clicks all over everything.

Yeah the leak is pretty much what we're gonna get imo. It sounds bad because of the mix and master.

I like the single art for The General. Much less cheap looking than Perhaps imo. Probably because it's simpler and there's less shitty graphics on it.

Not particularly. I'm not so attached to the band in a way that I care enough. If they put out something and I want to get it I will. The whole it being released digitally thing isn't something I really consider a problem and I expected they would eventually.

I've always liked it. Not really sure why tbh

I feel like you need to ignore a lot of stuff on purpose to not think that Amber lied about at least some things. Anyway, I don't think this thread is about that, lol.

The General and Monsters (and maybe Perhaps) are the only ones from the reworked tracks that actually sound like Slash belongs on them and isn't just pasted on.

People are really desperate to take sides instead of just being okay with not knowing. Going out of your way to paint someone as a money grabber when you know nothing about the situation is very strange.

They'll probably try to settle this privately and we will hear nothing more about it. I'm not seeing Fernando's position changing or him leaving.

I really enjoyed it. There are some parts that have been cut that I liked from the demo but they were very unfinished so I understand why they were taken out. From lyric sheets from the 90s it seems they were going to cut the same parts then, anyway. Quite emotional song along with the video (including some silly beatles style humour that ngl didn't click on my first watch but works when you're in the mindset for it) I think they did a good job. Love that they included the footage of them working on it in the 90s as well. Something I've wanted to see for a long while.

This isn't really true at all. If a vinyl has the same master as the cd (most vinyls nowadays) it will sound pretty much the same as the digital version. I own many vinyl that sound exactly like the cd. There can be subtle differences just due to the nature of the playback (different cartridges, turntables, stylus etc) but I wouldn't say that means it sounds "better". There isn't really a rule when it comes to this stuff like you're making it seem with this post. Obviously if a different, better sounding master is used for the vinyl (or cd, works both ways) then that's where the main difference will be. Not saying there aren't examples of vinyl sounding different than the cd due to the nature of the format, I just don't think it's a rule or something special about vinyl.

Has it leaked basically posted the fake 4chan post again. I know they legitimately do have contacts but I think they were duped this time around.
