ManetsBR Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 In you opinion, what were the most exciting leaks? The leaks that made you think "Holy shit, this album is going to be really amazing."I thought of doing this topic after checking the Most Replied Topics Ever, so many excited posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) All the leaks made me think that But I was probably most excited in 2007 when we got CD, The Blues, and Madagascar for the first time. It was great to [eventually] hear the "complete" versions of Better and TWAT, too, after only initially getting snippets.edit: In short, The MSL Saga >>> Antiquiet Edited May 10, 2013 by RickRoses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I listened to Shackler's for about 3 hours straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdHeartBreaker Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Surely the first batch?Better was a hit all on it's own on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyrie Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I guess I'm in the minority here - I really, really disliked the leaks, mostly because I heard some of the new stuff live in 2002, and again in 2006, and live, it sounded great! When I heard the leak of Madagascar (my favourite song from CD) it was a huge let down - it sounded flat. The finished product with proper mastering/quality sounded a lot better. I'm not even sure how far off the leaked Madagascar was from the finished product - I haven't gone back to listen to it - but whether it was quality alone or subtle changes in the final mix/mastering, it sounded a lot better on the album.Same goes for Catcher, TWAT, etc. (which I didn't get to hear live til 2010), The stuff that leaked did little for me; hearing the tracks live did though.

ManetsBR Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 My favorite 2006 leak was Catcher, I think I heard it about a billion times back then It was so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Madagascar was weird, I think mostly because the vocals weren't what anyone was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The easy answer would probably be the huge leak initiated by Kevin Cogill just before the release of Chinese Democracy. I would be more inclined to say the very first leak which came through Eddie Trunk (well, ultimately Mike Piazza) and was of course, IRS. Eddie pulled all the tapes of that particular show and there was a subsequent scrambling by people like Darknemus to track down one of the many people that would record Trunk's weekly broadcasts.

Guest NGOG Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) When Better leaked I remember thinking man, GNR have arrived with this one. Unbelievably catchy; artistically weaker than the rest of the record but had Axl opted to do an album of Betters, he'd be rolling in it right now. And by it I mean money and acclaim. Still can't believe that song didn't really get over. Nowhere near as much as it should have anyway. Edited May 11, 2013 by NGOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting Star Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) CITR was exciting cause it was the first leak I listened to, but my fav leak has to be Better. I was really impressed with this song since the first time I listened to it and I still love it. Edited May 11, 2013 by Shooting Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 For me the first leaks or live stuff Chi dem, Blues etc was just confirming that they can still do GNR, Better really was the they can actually pull this off moment, with TWAT and Catcher they basically had an album they could put out.But then Shackler's really rocked my pirateship for 10 hours straight. An it was pretty exciting waiting to hear Chi dem on the radio and Bumble's new parts I really loved. The weird thing was having the DJs and Slash kind of joke about it afterwards. It was surreal. If the World was another eye opener.Scraped and Sorry were the two that I loved on first cd listen. I didn't really get into TIL and Prostitute. TIL is a very Axl moment. Prostitute is the masterpiece epic that if life was eternal we'd be playing in 2050. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
