foghat43 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Pretend you are the producer who finally convinces the original AFD (or UYI) lineup to get back together to record one album. But due to deadlines, there is no time for the band to write new material. So you have been given the task of pulling 14 tracks from the entire catalog of post-Guns material and the band will re-record those tracks for the album. You can pull tracks from any of the original members' post-Guns work (Snakepit, Velvet Revolver, Chinese Democracy, Izzy solo, Duff solo, etc.), but you want a good mixture so no more than 4 tracks maximum from any one album. So for example if you chose Slither then the original lineup would re-record the song with Axl on vocals, if you chose a Chinese Democracy song it would be re-recorded with Slash and Izzy on guitars, etc. And assume that Axl's voice is in top form and that the band members can deviate somewhat from the original songs to make it their own (for example, it will be Slash playing a Slash solo on TWAT not Slash trying to copy Bucket's solo note for note). What 14 tracks would you pick?I took a stab at it...Beggars and Hangers On (Slash) Train Tracks (Izzy) Better (Axl) Dirty Little Thing (Slash) Starlight (Slash) Catcher in the Rye (Axl) Shuffle It All (Izzy) Fall to Pieces (Slash) By the Sword (Slash) Loving the Alien (Slash) There Was a Time (Axl) Sweet Caress (Izzy) Back and Forth Again (Slash) Prostitute (Axl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
