some dude posted these on another forum.....are they real??? probably not....they're fucking stupid. but don't forget about that dude that posted the Sorry lyrics back in 2007.....stranger things have happened....

All cautions made, every chance was given, no effort spared, to save what we had

or it would take, away the light we given, once it is ours, were free from this land

dont ever expect me to turn up this late

mother fucker' in this game, its checkmate

as i then ran, as fast as i could, memories both friends, escaped from my hand

ive got a gun, now the bloods on my hands, everything you see is here till the end

dont ever expect me to turn up this late

mother fucker' in this game, its checkmate

lies that ive told, lies that ive given

lies that ive sold, lies that have driven

me mad to the top of my own head

me mad to the top of my head

at night sugar, im sorry if i turn up late

well now honey, my turn, check mate

all dozens slayed, every chance, one given, dont ever spin ,just say what we had

or it would take, away the light we given, once it is ours, were free from this land

dont ever expect me to turn up this late

mother fucker' in this game, its checkmate

All Thoughts in lane (all thoughts in lane)

every chance we gave (ever chance we gave)

dont ever spare (dont ever spare)

im here till the end (checkmate)

im here till the end

im here till the end

I'm calling bullshit as it becomes sort of poetry after the intro...and I dunno, it doesn't seem like something comparable to any of the ChiDem songs...and the punctuation changes as well. Obviously created by an amateur.

I remember hearing a clip that was a few seconds longer than the one on youtube now, and I believe it went like this:

All cautions made, every chance was given, no effort spared, to save what we had

All in good faith.....................................

EDIT:

Found it... The description says it's "All in good faith", but you only hear "All in goo- ......"

It's in the very end, and has a better sound quality... about one second.

to qoute Axl:

And Checkmate is a bogus title.

The working title is Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan Demo(?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4opU9o8oEE

EDIT: something I forgot to mention, if the song is called Jackie Chan, Why would ''mother fucker' in this game, its checkmate'' be in the lyrics and not say anything about jackie chan... I think it's fake....

0:14-0:53 is one source of the song, 0:53-0:54 is another source.

Long story short, it was going to be leaked but GnRs management stopped it from happening, however there was some miscommunication with the person who intended to leak it (to say the least).

EDIT*

Have you guys seen this footage before?

(it only goes for 10 seconds, but its the famous megaphone incident lol)

I seem to remember, that when this clip first surfaced - the leaker was trying to negotiate or even blackmail Guns management (sound familiar???), the clip was released as a "fuck you, I've got what I claim I have" kinda thing, and the title of "Checkmate" was meant as a reference to having the upper hand in any negotiations, I don't think it was ever meant to refer to the title of the track.

That's how I took it anyway, could be miles out.

Yeah and then Merk said how it wasn't GnR /Axl singing as an attempt to downplay the situation and hoping it would go away :rofl-lol:

Sounds like the first words of a highly intelligent gorilla, not Axl.

what ever the name is of the bulk of that tune is (in the clip) it sounds better than Scraped and Sorry (2 of the lowest moments on Chinese D.)

I have the full 16 seconds that includes that 1 extra second of the "all in goo-". What I don't understand is why these youtubers loop the clip and repeat the same part?!? Its pointless

I remember when some one first posted irs lyrics and everyone thought they were stupid

I suppose it’s all about the way Axl sings it rather than a lyrical “prowess” as such. There’s elements of most songs on Chinese Democracy that are underwhelming saved only by the fact it’s Axl singing.

I was working on buying the full song from a guy a couple years ago, and he played it over the phone to me..even though it was obviously garbled, the main part of the chorus said something something sacrifice..MSL and probably a few others can back me up on this..
