2020_Intensions

I don't count random single song releases.

Izzy, like Axl, has also seemingly retired from releasing new music. Axl in 2008, and Izzy in 2010. Interesting coincidence.

Right. And 2010 was the rumored (and Axl-given) date for when ChiDem 2 would release, along with the remix album. We also know ChiDem for all intents and purposes was finished and ready to go in 2006 (and 2002 really), so 2007-2009 is the most likely timeframe for when the remix album was worked on.

I'm not sure about that. But we do know the remix album was worked on around the same time ChiDem was released, so most likely those vocals are from around that time as well. Definitely not after 2010. And since Axl planned on the remix album being released along with ChiDem 2, we can strongly infer he recorded those vocals specifically for the remix.

I don't. We know he rerecorded the vocals for This I Love specifically for that remix. And there's no other vocals used in those remixes from unreleased songs. It's actually, based on what we know, and the information we have, very likely that Axl simply recorded that line specifically for the Prostitute remix.

Yeah that's what we ended up assuming you meant lol

You're all forgetting the most IMPORTANT factor to these desires. Axl writing lyrics and recording vocals.

Yup, which is why before I made that point I said "commercially" to distinguish his creating and playing music personally from creating and playing to be released for the public to hear. Who cares what Axl is doing musically in private, for himself? I sure dont. I only care about what he's doing or will do that I'll be able to hear.

Highly doubtful. I remember in the China Exchange interview he talked about interest in creating film scores, which I think he would be really good at considering the instrumental movie like quality of many GnR songs. But that was now back in 2016 and most likely has gone nowhere. I think, as far as commercial ventures goes, it's clear Axl has been creatively retired since 2008. Singing on a cartoon show does not count, as many hear like to think it does. Releasing 4 songs that are over 20 years old and pretending that they're new I think is the strongest evidence towards his creative retirement.

This, or recorded specifically for the remix, are the most likely answers, a lot more than coming from an unreleased song imo, especially considering I don't believe there are more finished unreleased songs from ChiDem.

I still dont understand how The General & Monsters helps to narrow down where Blood in the Water vocals comes from. We have literally no information regarding this. How do we know that's even from an unreleased song? Axl could have recorded that specifically for that remix, like how he went back and recorded This I Love.

Yeah kinda confused as to what he's talking about. I thought it was obvious that it instrumentally was a remix of Prostitute. I haven't seen anyone discuss Blood in the Water in regard to The General or Monsters either.

Huh?

The one thing I always loved about the BD Sweet Child is Axl's vocals I think they're so cool after it switches to the "new" recording

Yup, and as far as I remember, this was basically all there was to it, and we heard nothing else since until now.

They're very seriously trying to figure out how to get the sound just right. Or whatever lame ass excuse they had for delaying The General

Remember, Axl lives in his own world where time move differently than ours. Don't complain, be grateful there's a chance you'll get something, even if you dont! He doesnt owe you anything!!!!

Ever since that rumor I've been so excited at the idea of this - Like "Live and Let Die" this is a song that GnR would knock out of the park covering

The chances of that happening are almost the same as a new album of new music

Such a kiss ass lmao

Huh? There are some great lyrics in CD ... Gross

I like Absurd. Liked it even more when it was Silkworms and more experimental. But to say it could replace a song on CD I think is ABSURD

Your opinion on this is so garbage dude it's unbelievable. Calling Absurd a "punkish rarity" LMFAO

Fun little idea I thought up. Let's say you want to introduce a friend to GnR who either hasn't ever heard any of their music, or only casually knows of the hits like Sweet Child, Jungle, Paradise City. Instead of tasking them with listening through a whole album, you put together an EP. What four songs would you have somebody listen to to give a good taste of the band? Mine would be: 1. Perfect Crime 2. It's So Easy 3. Yesterdays 4. Hair of the Dog

You would imagine wouldn't you? Unfortunately, I think the likelihood is these songs never were worked on beyond what we have. Those instrumental demos are some of the rawest shit I've ever heard. There is no way an album comprising these songs, in a complete and finished state, were not released to follow up ChiDem. I hope I'm wrong.
