Guest Gunns Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 This was posted in amongst posts in another thread, but wasn't talked about all that muchAtlas Shrugged, I was going to tell a little story about that song. Right now on my laptop, I actually have the old guitar solo that I played for that song, when, two days before the album was going to be mastered, I was like, let's see if we can squeeze it on to the album. I busted out some guitar tracks for it, I have my own studio...But, because the CD could only be 74 minutes max, and it would've taken it past the limit of what a CD can store, we couldn't put Atlas Shrugged on Chinese Democracy. It wasn't worth making a two-CD album with just one song on the other CD, so hopefully, on ChiDem 2, it'll have Atlas Shrugged on there. Interesting song."

PITBOSS Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 even Ron calls it Chinese democracy 2?if Chinese democracy was a 2 disc set, they would have only had one extra song for that disc? I thought there were a couple more albums worth of material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there were a couple more albums worth of material?I think he meant as a last moment kinda thing, like atlas would of been good to be on it, but it wasnt worth having an extra cd for 1 song (maybe the others weren't considered or weren't "perfected" enough at that stage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl Rose aka God Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Is this real? Can you post the source? Not doubting you, Gunns, you're always a legit poster, I just want to see the source and read the entire interview. I really have faith that at some point we'll hear this album...

Jeez Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) put it on a cd with 2 other songs and some live cuts put it out on an EP, problem solved.Maybe the song is good enough to deserve a better spot than just being randomly thrown out like that.it isnt being randomly thrown out there though. patience, one in a million, used to love her were all good enough for an EPAn EP is often seen as leftovers from an album or just a quick way to earn money as it costs less to produce. GN'R Lies was put together mainly because of the drug problems at the time - to keep the band together.Perhaps they don't want Atlas Shrugged to be seen as a leftover or as a song that "wasn't good enough" for the album. That was my point.It's said that there is a lot of unreleased (or unfinished) material left after the CD sessions. Songs that might be really great and deserves to be put out as an album which they then can tour on.Edit: How weird it would be if for instance Estranged was released on an EP next to some live cuts right after UYI...

Guest Gunns Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) I hope Ron's solo is good, because Brian may is the guy who originally layed down guitar tracks for this, and I was kinda looking forward to hearing his parts.Classic Rock had the opportunity to listen to Atlas as well as prostitute, rhiad, and silkworms back in 2007 Edited April 7, 2013 by Gunns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally.I thought that catcher should of had brian may left on it (even though axl apparently recreated the solo from multiple takes of mays guitar work) and im really counting on may apeparing on atlas, would be a lot better suited imo (even though i havent heard the song obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsalinger Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It's simply fucking crazy to think that there was likely a demo of this song in 1999, and a close to finished version in 2002. And we still haven't fucking heard it ...In 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the rush Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 So I hope Ron didn't ruin it like he ruinned Catcher.I love Ron, I even bought his normal album. But he did ruin Catcher. Totally.Couldn't disagree more. before Ron changed the solo i barely noticed there was a guitar solo. also, it flows better and hangs better on the whole. May did a poor job with the solo - i thought that the first time I heard it. I almost felt that it was not meant to be on the cd from the beginning and was just a demo type solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 ^^ Agreed. People just like Brian Mays solo because a) they fell in love with the song the way they first heard it and b) it's Brian May.BBF's solo is a trillion times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big reason the May solo doesn't flow is because it's comped from different takes May did (Axl explained this in the chats where he said that May said "that's not what I played" when the first demo track was played back to him).

wasted Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The solo of brians that ron replaced was a cut n paste solo that even may didnt really ever play or like? and feel part of that was choosen by axl out many solos may did for that song. Even the solos are composites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it since the first time I heard it. I think it's great. I don't care that it's Brian May, and I judge it based on it's own merit.Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's impossible for others to really enjoy it. I like Bumble's version as well.
