raska27 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Someone asked about the origins of Crash Diet, Just Another Sunday etc on one of the other topics.Given they are well known songs, but the origins aren't so well known, I thought it deserved its own topic.The songs originally came from a West Arkeen Demo tape that he recorded and used GN'R members on some songs. It seems at some point someone has taken the songs GN'R members were on and bootlegged them as GN'R Demos.Below are pics of the original tape and some info that I grabbed off the net when the tape came up on ebay a few years back.Maybe Marc can shed some light on when this was most likely recorded, I don't think 89/90 is correct as the seller guessed, I suspect earlier. I remember a Slash interview when he said Crash Diet was from a very old demo from 86 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 My guess is early 1987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 My guess is, 1985-6ish, at the Hell House. Slash talks about Del having an old tape recorder or four track in his bedroom there. Numerous GN'R members stayed over at various times.One of the non-GN'R songs, 'Walk on By', made it through to The Outpatience's Anxious Disease (1996) by the way, West's band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hell House was from September 1986 to early 1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I wish whoever got the tape would upload a better quality Crash Diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 A year or so ago I was looking for videos of West Arkeen. I came across one and in the comment section was a guy claiming to be the guy recording the video. He said he was good freinds with West and that he (West) had a bunch of demos to be used by Axl and Slash only if they reconciled. He answered a bunch of questions from people and imo, was legit. Anyways when I joined here I asked Marc if he'd ever heard of this tape and he said he hadn't. I believe someone else close to the band was asked about it to but I can't remember who.

31illusions Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I've had most of those demos for many years. From my experience with collecting GN'R demos, Daisy is correct.Another song in dispute is "Ain't going down" which is a UYI demo 1990-ish.

It's missing from that tape, so it's safe to think it could there under a different title (Bring it Back Home is listed as Bring It Down Home. And the one listed as Too Much Too Fast has always been around as Too Much Too Soon) Edited March 28, 2017 by Twinaleblood fixed typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
