Apollo Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I remember when some one first posted irs lyrics and everyone thought they were stupidBecause they are. Some of the worst lyrics Axl has ever written. Song wise and groove wise - IRS could have been the "hit" that the album needed to bust out. It is catchy, but still has some aggression to it.But the lyrics are just ridiculously bad.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..Wow. So some "fan" out there actually has this full song? How in the world does something like that not get leaked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippin Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) It was a guy whose father was some kind of sound engineer for Universal, but it was right around the time Skwerl got busted and he disappeared..

How in the world does something like that not get leaked?As far as I know, no one EVER posted IRS lyrics before the song was leaked.What people DID do was try and decipher the garbled Eddy Trunk recording and try and make out what the words were. THOSE were hilariously bad at times.Once the 2006 leaks happened, first the 2004 IRS and the 99 IRS, it was clear what the lyrics were.No one ever posted lyrics claiming they were IRS, because if there were, there wouldn't have been dozens of pages of "let's figure out the IRS lyrics".

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIABzOU37m0That video was posted November 7th, 2009. Since the first time I saw that particular video (in 2009) it has had the same description.The description of the video is:"Motherfuckers in game, it's Checkmate"Guys, it's apparent to me that the lyrics pertaining to the term "checkmate" have been floating around for several years, and I would put my money on at least part of what was posted in the OP, is accurate.

suckerpunched03 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 One guy told us he had songs and posted the refrain. He got roasted and never came back. I'm not gonna dig looking for it. As far as topics to decipher irs lyrics, well we would still have those if a booklet hadn't come with CDYesterdays, nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagarin Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Checkmate was what the leader called the upload. As in, I gotcha. This was like - last debated 2 years ago. Should be forum common knowledge.As far as topics to decipher irs lyrics, well we would still have those if a booklet hadn't come with CDNo, IRS lyrics were not ever, ever, ever leaked. The song was leaked. Lyrics were deciphered. IRS lyrics were never, ever posted online.The IRS lyrics are actually easy to make out, once we had a decent MP3 of them. They are even easier to make out because of the multitracks.Would you like to hear what the Eddie Trunk leak sounded like, the very first Internet leak?(BloodyRoses worked this over... remember, it was released in like 4 or 5 parts) Turn your speakers downNow that I know the lyrics, it's amazing we couldn't figure it out.Such forum attempts produced things like "maybe like I just stepped in myself" or "maybe like I just stepped in my shit" for... "Feelin like I've done more than my share"NOW - Another PERSON once posted some of the lyrics to ANOTHER song (I believe it was Sorry) on HTGTH, they ran him the hell off, and bam, guess what, years later, he was right. You'd have to go through hell and high water to find his post now.But I saw it.Never IRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagarin Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 It's easy to forget how short term people's memory can be, especially of things happening on the Internet. "If you didn't see it, it didn't happen."This won't be the last thread about the "song" called "Checkmate" and lyrics that contain "Checkmate".

suckerpunched03 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Gnrx closed shortly after the tour aborted 2002. The guy running the site was pretty much like, "Fuck this". He said he would open it back up if and when cd got a release date. At least I think ... That was almost 8 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzi your illusion Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 My god that "I.R.S" leak brings back a HUGE smile to my face. As bad as the quality was it honestly restored faith and made me hate myself for ever doubting. The first time I heard it when Buckets guitar comes in backing Axl's huge scream it was as good a feeling as I have ever had as a fan of this band. I must of listened to that rough copy 1000 times, that brought back some good memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
