patiencepatience Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I, like many of you, have mixed feelings about CD. On one hand I love a lot of the songs and on the other can't stand some of the choices (esp how over produced it is). No idea what is coming next but how would you feel about a remastered version of Chinese Democracy with Slash and Duff added in? I'd be curious how much that trio could accomplish with some of the amazing canvases they could color... Madagascar, Sorry, This I Love, Better, Street of Dreams, If The World.... Also wonder if they were to do three or four new tracks, would they supplement with rerecords of some of the better CD songs? I for one would welcome it. ? Just a thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AlexC Posted June 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2017 No need. The guitar work on Chinese Democracy is excellent as is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) seems more likely they re-work Chi dem, Better, TIL for a Best of cd or you get that via a live blu ray. The live shows seem like the best way to present all the new versions, like of heavens door, rocket queen, the seeker, the ACDC covers, Godfather solos, Double talking Jive, Coma - I'd buy that live album for that stuff. I would definitely be interested in Slash doing all the guitars on CD. Maybe even Fortus on rhythmn. Keep the drums. Theyve done it live though. Chi dem Better TIL Sorry Twat Catcher that's a solid side of a GNR album. Edited June 29, 2017 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. this is absolute nonsense but if we had a GNR reunion and these guys were willing to play axl song, then it should be fun to have slash, izzy, duff and a drummer (hoepfully) steven rearrange those songs and play those songs the GNR way some of those songs are so horrible that they are probably beyond salvation others would definetely sound at least good with GNR rearranging them and rock n rolling them they would also have to ask axl to stop using the unlistenable clean bee gees mickey whatever voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I look at it like what if Axl brought Catcher or TIL in in demo form and Slash helped with it, then it would be considered real Guns like Nov Rain or Estranged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 They should re-do UYI 1 and 2 w/ new mixing, Adler drumming and turning up the volume on Izzy's guitar. Call it "Illusions: RAW" As for CD - meh. I don't know if Duff and Slash can really do anything interesting or different enough with those songs. Catcher in the Rye would be the most obvious one to re-do. Maybe "If the World" also.

Agree. And if they decided to throw in some VR songs...Fall to Pieces with Axl, done guns style. I would LOVE to hear what that sounds like.

Yeah, and...those feel legitimately like original guns tracks. TIL actually is from the classic era and would have been on the 96 album anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jw224 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I don't think they need re recorded. Either use some unreleased CD tracks as a base and build, or make totally new songs. I love CD, mind you, but there's no need to re record it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Nah, as has already been said, maybe CDII tracks but nothing thats already been released. This is at least the second "re-recoridng" songs thread this week. I don't follow how/why this is even a thing? Also, the thread name says remaster. Id say the mastering on CD is really good. Im not speaking to the production (which i dig but am not referring to). The mastering is a high water mark in the art of mastering, imo. For it to have such warmth, depth and resonance with all thats going on. For it to have analog feel in the digital state, and most impressively for it to come out in the middle of the loudness wars and not have any peak limiter issues is just incredible!! It breathes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely agree, it's was and still is a standout when it comes to mastering. Especially considering the time in which it came out. Definitely doesn't need a remaster.

I would LOVE to hear what that sounds like. It would be interesting to pool all the "solo" stuff and re-record. But yeah why not just write new stuff. I think if Izzy came back with a few songs, Slash's material, Duff songs, Axl songs. But it seems they have left it in the past and Axl has a bun in the oven. It's GNR that has all this material backed up. To me a record seems easier to do at their age all the travel must suck. To really get out there and tour is heroic. I can see Axl having material, but there's not a huge market for it. It has to be something they really want to say at this point. CD II does seem like a good starting point. 3 minutes ago, Silent Jay said: Only if the NuGnR re-recording of AFD gets released. Finck plays AFD and Slash plays CD. The alternative Best of.

F*ck Fear Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 As much as I'd love new material if they re-recorded Better, and This I Love and put them on a Best Of compilation, that would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Slash (around 94-96): “At one point [Axl] said he was gonna do a solo project, then he decided his solo-project he could do with Guns, which I was like, after doing all those videos and this and that and the other, I was like: No. No, I don’t wanna get involved in any kind of Stephanie Seymour ballads or any of that sh*t” http://uproxx.com/music/the-story-behind-axl-rose-and-slash-not-speaking-to-each-other-since-1996/ Axl wrote TIL in 93 so it seems likely that one of those Seymour ballads on his mind was TIL. Do we call this maturity on Slashs part that he plays it live now? Would it be maturity for him to now record a version of TIL instead of new music or different unreleased music?

Sunset Gardner Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Chinese Democracy should be laughed at then flushed in a toilet. slash and duff shouldn't touch it, axl's mistakes are his own. Edited June 30, 2017 by Sunset Gardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
