IMO, they don't have to release a cover album, but I wouldn't mind if they did. And I love Wichita too. Ideally, I wish they just release anything in a proper manner - I mean, in album format. They don't have to expect that every song will be loved, so release whatever they already have and move on. From when they released Absurd to now, they could've already released 2 albums worth of new songs (and I'm including CD era tracks here too). The best way to deal with all the pressure is to release it.

Acoustic Appetite cover (whole album)
Voodoochild replied to gavgnr's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Very impressive. I didn't hear the whole thing, but the parts I've heard were pretty good. I mean, I understand the thing with Axl's imitations, but the guy is very talented in his own right. I almost feel like he could do better by not trying to imitate Axl's voice and go with a more unique approach. The acoustic renditions were very good too, the guy is talented. I do think it would be better with a more different arrangement, as some stuff was too close to the electric guitar version. -
So do we know if the guy singing is any good? He said he wrote leads for Madagascar and TWAT and I 100% believe this is what we heard in some parts of the Village demos, which are horrendous. I doubt he played the acoustic rhythm guitar on TWAT. It's an important part and integral to get it right with timing, tone and all.

Thanks for sharing this info! It's really fascinating! Maybe the lack of interplay between drums and bass is only some editing fuck up? Arguably, Duff recorded his parts after the drum track, but maybe he played following a different version/arrangement. My theory is that this was a heavily edited combination of real drums, samples and fake drums put together by Caram and Axl for some reason.

It may be the case indeed. We sure don't know if he started working on something already. My comment about his lack of awareness was based on his live performances. He often struggles to sing something that he thought he could, or just ignore the options he considered (like Perfect Crime, OMG) probably because he found out he wasn't comfortable singing those.

Yeah, it's the connotation. It's based on personal opinions, which is fine. But it's rather not "literally" leftover if Axl didn't consider it that way to begin with. I don't love everything that has been out so far, but I can recognize this. I understand that. The thing to me is that I 100% believe that he has enough recorded vocals, and that's the catch: Axl wouldn't throw away years of his own work because Slash and Duff rejoined, one thing doesn't have to do with the other. It's art after all, and it's not fair to disregard it if he can just do what he's doing: repurposing it with the current lineup. The problem, again, is the timing. Axl takes forever to do it, he thinks he'll be forever young and able to sing. He's dealing with the band as if he could just prioritize those old work and, when he feels like, he can *start to think* about recording new vocals. Obviously, time will show that he'll regret that.

If you have a lot of spare time, look at the old New Album thread and see how many people thought that GNR wouldn't even release the CD-era stuff (I refuse to call it leftovers, when it's clearly not the case). Hell, there were people arguing that Axl didn't have any vocals recorded for other songs past the Village sessions. I know it's easy to get skeptical with this band, but the reality is just that they take forever to do things, but they eventually do anyways.
