Whick leak are you talking about? Never heard about that Kevin B tape.

That one was just a 30 second snippet. He still has the full rehearsal tape in his property.

I didn't know where to post it, but I found another detail about the early gigs. 

"In another change, 'Mama Kin' replaced Tracii's much preferred 'Sweet Emotion'. The rest of the set was the usual stuff already in the setlist." - Raz Cue, The Days of Guns, & Raz's, p. 212

Based on Alan Niven's quotes, according to which Bob Clearmountain was mixing the songs while Axl was living in the studio (which we know it was in late 1990 and at least until Christmas), the dates of the Q Sound mixes kind of fit. But on the other hand, like I said, Clearmountain's mixes are not known to have circulated and Alan Niven (where those tapes came from) claimed that he destroyed them.

Is the "Axls advanced copy" bootleg of demos the same as the DAT source?

no I don't think so. Bob's mixes are very early ones and Axl's Advance Copy is supposed to be very late ones. someone correct me in this pls, if I'm wrong.

I posted this on discord but wanted to share it here too:

I’m starting to wonder if maybe the reason the Pasha demos were left off of the AFD box is cause that’s where LLAS comes from. So maybe the band/label thought it would’ve been weird to only include the non-LLAS songs that were done at Pasha.

I have a feeling that eventually that full session will get an official release (probably only after the band is 100% done, tho).

EDIT: that is unless the original Pasha Master tapes were destroyed in the 2008 geffen vault fire (didn’t think of that until just now).

ok guys, to clear up the widespread confusion at least a little bit, the time has come for me to share my - still provisional - table. using all available sources I could find, I tried to collect as much information about GNR (including Rapidfire and Hollywood Rose) studio sessions and recorded tracks, as possible.

80's era is not perfect, but pretty well done. 90's era is a mess, I've only been able to find little relevant info. and of course Chinese Democracy era is a total mess, so I just sorted the known releases and leaks into a chronological order.

MASSIVE credits to everyone who helped me putting this sheet together!

any informations is always subject to change. YOUR OPINIONS ARE WELCOME!

Great work on this thread, very informative! Big thanks to zombux for all his efforts!

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask the question but does anyone have more information on the Alan Niven cds that were released back in 2005 or whenever it was? I've finally got around to sorting out all my old downloads and I was hoping to slot in the Alan Niven material in with the Appetite remaster. I have the program 'Spek' on my laptop so I decided to run the files through there and it shows that the FLAC files I have cut off at 16 kHz, indicating that their true bitrate is something like 128 kbps. Now, I'm not ungrateful - to hear these tracks is amazing. I'm just looking for any information on whether the files were ever truly lossless when they were shared. Going by the pictures from the ebay listings they look like your average early 2000s home mixtape cds so I'm doubtful that the original source cds were lossless. 

I also checked the Q Sound and Ruff UYI mixes and they're truly lossless, which is awesome. I haven't checked the Niven Marquee files yet but I assume they'll be lossy just like the CORNCHUCKER, JUMPIN' AX FLASH and UNDER MY HEAL releases. 

 

Thanks in advance for any additional info!

I recall listening to the Boston/Albany radio promo with the Chinese Democracy and Madagascar snippets over and over and just imagining what the rest of the album would sound like.

I can't find it online and it's entirely possible it's a sped up and modified version of leaks out there.  From my memory the radio promo doesn't sound like any of the leaks I've heard so far.  Have the base tracks for the radio snippet been leaked?

to my ear, the 3 promo snippets sound like again a more refined and "processed" versions of the Village leaks - if we look at the timeline, it kind of makes good sense. the Chinese Democracy intro riff sounds pretty much the same as the older leaks, just more "processed". I think Madagascar and The Blues have some additional guitar layers over it, but my memory doesn't serve too well on this. 

I think what they did was, just kept tinkering with the tracks in the Village studios since late summer 2000 to February 2004 - sometimes they actually worked on that, sometimes they didn't do anything.

I think some work was reported to be undergoing after the VMA 2002 before the US tour kicked off so these snippets might be "samples" from that time in the studio, or also these could be "samples" from slightly earlier time before the Asian tour 2002 kicked off at Hong-Kong. we will probably never know.

I think both had Richard Fortus overdubs. The Blues has his take on the outro solo (which was added live between the European and US Tour in 2002), which obviously was replaced by a more straight forward approach from Buckethead in the album.

slightly corrected Pasha sessions info.

tweaked notes to re-released Hell House tracks.

 

edit: one more minor update - added more notes for independently released Hell House and Sound City tracks

We know that aside from the Duff and Slash additions post 2016 everything dates from 2006 and before. Weren't the leaked Bumble tracks along with Going Down and Omg from 2006 when he was sending tracks back and forth. 

The song is identical to the Bumble leaked version aside from the Slash overdubs and what sounds like some Duff fills.

Brain is the only credited musician from the former members. What makes you believe that Paul Tobias, Chris Pitman or Robin Finck are still on the track?

literally anything can be hidden behind "Guns N' Roses" credits. I believe the old layers are buried there in the mix. in the beginning, there's something which sounds like Buckethead killswitch (could have been re-recorded by Fortus of course) and Pitman synth (again, could have been re-recorded by Melissa) - I mean, it could have been re-recorded completely note to note just with different lead guitars, who the fuck knows.

@zombux there is a Tommy Stinson interview from last year where he mentions that Brian May had played on Rhiad. See here (it was posted in an older thread, also):

 

yes, that also got to me. so that means what - we are wrong and Brian May actually hasn't played on Perhaps?
