would’ve loved to see DTJ live the way it is on the album with izzy singing 

i usually skip Human Being 

personally, for song to be longer than 5 minutes it’s gotta be really good. 

TWAT is a masterpiece all around. His best lyrics off the whole album 

at the end of the day i don’t think they should redo any CD songs. A lot of people would be mad if that was what was being passed as “new” reunion era material. however i still wanna hear the brain remix album that Axl mentioned in 2014.

I actually prefer the way the NITL play Chinese Democracy (the song) compared to the album version, and the CD era live performances. They stripped off a lot of the BS.

it sounds closer to how it was played in 01-07

I guess Axl didn't need Izzy. Seems like they tried to work something out and maybe Izzy was offended. I think it's a lot of money to give for someone like Izzy when Richard is in the band and is dependable and seems to get along well with Slash.

I think that they should have given him what he asked for anyway. Even the 1 song he released during that time (FP Money) reminded me what he can do for Gn'R even today, and Duff talked about how he wants to write with Izzy for the rest of his life not long before it turned to shit between them, not to mention his contributions to Gn'R, but I think Axl just didn't see the value.

If they do write new material, I hope they being Izzy back 

despite the tour not working out with them, I’ hope they’re still on good terms. Ik gnr wished Izzy a happy birthday this year on Instagram so it seems like it lol

Bro, you should change your profile picture 

It’s as ironic as the rest of this forum

🤣🤣🤣

Anyone else feel like slash is hot in the Vegas mix? 

Probably TSI. It doesn’t have patience so it loses I guess.

Putting Chinese Democracy as the favourite GN'R album is the modern equivalent to glueing hands to roads to make a statement. 

I guess at the end of the day it isn't a gnr album. 

_{its better} 

Loving the slowed version of November Rain in Vegas

I would LOVE some reworked Chinese Democracy tracks, especially the title track

I would also love to hear I.R.S. I find that to be the most GNR sounding track on that album but idk if anyone could beat Robins playing on that. The tone is perfect on that one

We don't exactly have many to choose from lol 

They picked some absolutely garbage songs to cover lmao don't know what they were thinking with most of the choices 

I think a lot of the album was Duff’s inspirations I think he talked about it a bit in his book 

i think appetite is the best album (as a solid project done by a real band) but my favorite subjectively go: 
 

1. Chinese Democracy 

2. UYI 2 then 1 

3. Appetite 

4. Lies 

5. SI (despite my username and image) 

it would be cool to have this: 

1. hard skool 

2. absurd 

3. atlas 

4. state of grace? 

5. CD (reworked)

6. Better (reworked) 

7. Catcher (reworked) 

8. Sorry (reworked)

I have a question regarding Mr Brownstone on Live Era… Duffs backing vocals during the chorus sound so off, it clearly isn’t Duff 🤣 I believe it sounds like Robin? Is that actually confirmed? Is it just common knowledge to the hardcore fan base that it isn’t duff?

I’ve heard that and it does sounds like Robin. Doesn’t really sound like Duff or Izzy to me but who knows 

maybe they pulled that off of the 1999 re-recorded appetite 😂

also I always thought Mr Brownstone was done really well by the 2002 band. I liked Robins playing and back up vocals. Whenever I hear Robin doing a slash solo it sounds like a Chinese Democracy version of the song compared to when Dj plays it, it sounds like a GNR tribute band.

I'm sure this has been discussed a lot but I figured I'd bring it up. I was listening to Night Train from Vegas off the album and it still amuses me that they re did the vocals. I wonder if he just didn't like how raw they were during the UYI tour? Regardless, I find his vocals in 1999 to be some of the best work he's done. Perfect ratio of rasp and clean tone. Oh My God, some of CD, and Live Era

When I watched the Kimmel interview, I remember noticing two things: 1. the bling you mentioned and 2. how nervous and out of his element Axl seemed in a more "general" interview that was not specifically about music (like the Trunk interviews). Axl warmed up, but I think they relied on the "let's pull out items to discuss that Axl's management pre-approved" more than any talk show guest I have ever seen. To be fair though, multiple people texted me after seeing it that night to say he seemed really funny/relatable/charming, so I guess the appearance served its purpose. 

I remember being so excited to see him on Kimmel in 2016 and being so disappointed he never came on. That would've been so awesome. Had my DVR set and everything 

For me:

 -TWAT

- Shacklers Revenge ( I LOVE Bumblefoots solo even though I'm mad that they dubbed Bumble on the most Buckethead x GNR sounding song on the album) 

- Sorry 

- IRS -(all of them) 

- If The World (tied with pretty much every other solo. This album doesn't have a bad solo on it. They're all pretty fuckin top tier

but it's a part of a box set and according to Slash new old music is on the way. Hardly rock bottom imo.

CDII starts now (again)!!!  

I wish we could get You Could Be Mine or Estranged with these drums and vocals they sound gnarly 

Glad they did this it sounds great

Interesting he doesn’t remember hard skool. 
 

i guess the instrumental was recorded under a different title
