tim10101 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Thought this for a while... Yes we have heard rumblings of new Best Of with a coupla new trax, my idea for a bit has been What If those 'New' trax are CD era songs with Slash N' Duff contributions?? Makes sense to me now with that mad new Better intro and input by those two legends on the CD era stuff Sure not 'new songs' per se, but hey great new Slash n Duff versions?? What do you awesome peeps reckon?? Oh n yeah first time post, lurker since 2011 PLUS we had rumors of Slash n Duff in the studio for a short while maybe re-touching those very tracks???

CD is The most known song and this i love and better is The most popular Edited April 11, 2016 by jettesnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 They've also got TWAT down as an alt on the setlist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I think it's not gonna go beyond just a live thing for Chinese Slash. It does feel like Slash will have no problem adding his ideas and leads to the CD ll material or at least some of it. There Was A Time, Catcher, and I.R.S the most interesting to hear live from Chinese that we haven't heard with Slash imo.

tim10101 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Slash n Duff were spotted recording in a 3 month time frame... so me it makes sense its to the CD additions for the new Best Of .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Sounds very Axl. Plus two new songs. 1 CD myth and 1 Slash/Fortus song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim10101 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 No, not 'NEW' songs for us die hard, but New for the casual fan. Hence the CD songs reworked live. Id bet there on the new Best Of Two CD set lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I think there's no need of a new best of...I'd rather hear new(old) songs instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkaruFunk Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Well Chinese and Better were singles from CD and they were a live staple since 2009, so it makes sense to include them on a new Best of. That Greatest Hits release form 2004 or so is quite lackluster, it's way overdue to put out an upadated version. Add a better tracklist, cool artwork and a track like Atlas Shrugged and you have an instant best seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 These tracks don't need to be change at all. Chinese, Better, TWAT and This I Love are already perfect as they are in Chinese Democracy. In my opinion, Fortus and Slash solos are a step down to what Robin and Buckethead were doing with those songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I wouldn't let TIL anywhere near a "Best Of" album, it's not even one of the best tracks of ChiDem Make the top 3 from the album Better, Street of Dreams & There Was a Time, then we're talkin' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'd be totally fine with GN'R 2016 versions of those songs being included on a Best Of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpax Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The theory might be correct, cause these songs are definately a best of CD. But a new greatest hits would be a a disappointment. I would prefer a new album, CD 2+3 or even a triple album all at once (3 different CDs) - in my opinion its the only way to top UYI 1+2. or a s&m metallica type album.

Would be totally down for this. Also, hearing Slash re-tool some of the Chinese songs so successfully live makes me stoked about the idea of him getting his hands on the CD2 tracks. Would definitely bring them to the the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be lame AF. Who gives a crap about greatest hits albums. Everybody on the forums - aka diehard fans - already own EVERY GnR song. Why do we need an album that has songs on it that we already own? Greatest hits are cash grabs. A band with five studio albums in 30 years should release a NEW album. Not greatest hits or remixes. That is just idiotic and a slap in the face to their fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Any new compilation album is a cop out, IMO. Firstly because nobody buys physical albums anymore, so really it's just a page on Spotify with the tracks rearranged, and secondly because they have such a lack of material for such a classic band (yeah I'm sure it'd sell 100k physical copies the first week or something -- what's the point). Either do this tour and end it, or become fucking vital again and make a record. A Best Of would suck. Edited April 11, 2016 by Ant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano09 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Honestly, I think it'd be disrespectful to the people who wrote and recorded CD songs so re-release them redone by Slash and Duff. It's not like they're just demos, they were finished and released, leave them as is. I do think we'll get some sort of greatest hits package though, even if it's something just thrown together on the cheap to capitalize on the nostalgia.
