GNR123GNR456 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 can someone put up a link for the clip that we know is GNR? i wa son you tube and cant find a 16 second clip? Thanks!!!http://www.youtube.c...h?v=IIABzOU37m0Its Looped twice.How is this good? I love Axl and all but this sounds no better than any generic rock song you'd find today. Obviously its only 16 seconds, but why is there a thread for THIS?How is this good? I think the main reason this song has stirred so much up in the GNR fan community is it sounds very much like a vintage Appetite style rocker------one that has the promise of a killer hook, some vintage Axl screams, and some of that Appetite filth all rolled into one. Personally I love this clip and can't fucking wait to hear the entire song. This clip, coupled with bits and pieces from the Axl Chats, as well as encouragement by several of the songs on CD (Better, Sorry, TIL), all lead me to fervently believe that Axl's still got an Ace or 2 up his sleeve and we've not yet heard the "Big Guns"-----and I would bet $$$ that this song is one of 'em.P.S.... Guns should open Rio with this song.......what an entrance that would be!!!!!!!!!!Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They already have the intro in the beginning, so they can use that and go right into the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nambis Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 actually, the intro music is from The General, not checkmate/jackie chan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Until the song 'The General' comes out let's stop using that name for any unnamed song! NONE of us know what piece it is from, and let's stop pretending we know what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest siliconmessiah Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think this stuff need clarifying:1. The GNR-live concert intro has been officially confirmed as part of "The General".2. The above has absolutely nothing to do with the "Checkmate clip". The check mate clip however, has been rumored to be called "No Love Remains".

axlweave Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 guys when it all comes out "Checkmate" "Jackie Chan" is actually a track that is called Blood In The Water and it will be on the next album when its released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) 3. the "checkmate clip" was confirmed by axl to have a working title of "Jackie Chan."I don't recall Axl directly confirming that - he basically said "you've heard bits of it somewhere" and the fanbase assumed (whether correctly or otherwise) he was referring to THAT clip.

Spirit Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Man, this makes me wish Axl comes back to the forums for a little chat... B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellyzero Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah maybe if he could talk about the music this time like he tried to before (let's talk about catcher in the rye). Probably not though because all the dicks would have to take over the chat and then he'd leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinaleblood Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I know it's a bit OT and of course I'm not trying to cupcake anyone, but I've just seen this and it made me laugh HARD:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbrV-uG_Giw&feature=fvstHe even added the crowd CHEERING during the chorus.

Twinaleblood Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Ahahah absolutely, I think I watched it 10 times in row Btw, it'd be cool to know when Checkmate/Jackie Chan was recorded and who plays on it. I sent the clip to Brain a couple of years ago asking if it was him or Josh Freese playing, but got no answer unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I wonder why we got full leaks of IRS and TWAT and just a 15 seconds excerpt from Checkmate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbrV-uG_Giw&feature=youtu.beAlright, that was pretty good. I can't believe it's been over 5 years since we first heard this clip. Somebody out there (i.e. some hoarder) must have the full song, it had to leak from somewhere. I'm still hoping we get to hear the full song some day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
