Wouldn't it be cool if the above three songs leaked in EP form on release day of new Terminator movie - with the movie artwork as the cover.

Dj wasn't that bad at first, and with Axl sounding as good as he did it was easier to ignore him. Fast-forward to 2011-12 and Axl seemed to have given up, Dj's stage antics and "social media personality" had become grating, Bumblefoot was in his pissed off emo phase (after dealing with a fuckin' car wreck), the shows had become stale.... but that line-up did have potential at first. Yeah, agreed. I didn't mind Ashba at first and liked his Ballad of Death solo. Axl's vocals were the best they had been (in my opinion, I know many will say 2006) since the Illusion era, and they were playing most of the new album. Then 2011 came around and Axl's vocals got progressively worse until the end of 2014 and Ashba became insufferable. I didn't even bother seeing them in the UCAP tour when it came to Toronto as I couldn't justify paying what they wanted for tickets to see a show that was pretty much a repeat of what I saw in 2010 and 2011.

Axl seemed to be trying to make a point busting out some killer vocals, bringing back yesterday's, twat, prostitute. It felt a little bit exciting again. Still have not heard yesterday’s live. Love love love that song. Fingers crossed it’s in the current set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Quick song just has Axl humming and mumbling melodies. Me and my Elvis is bluesy but no vocals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Was trying to find the pictures again of the 15 CD's from the locker because I always forget to save them, and I see a LOT of people spamming Eddie Trunk about the leaks; I don't get what people are expecting him to say about it that would be interesting.

UYI4 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Supposedly if you read across the Internet there are far more songs than we realize that people have in complete lyrical form. I think several more of those songs from storage have vocals because if you read the listings/pictures some of them show no vox. But a larger chunk just have song titles and time and then some other random number and date. I remember some interview somewhere with maybe tommy or someone who said they had an A list and B list and it was something like 60 songs. Someone elsewhere had stated there was another disc with song “dragon” on it. That disc is supposedly chuck full of finished songs. I just hope we are lucky enough to keep hearing stuff like this. I also hope the band releases it (ALL FINISHED TRACKS) in pure form someday one way or another. I’d buy it all in a heartbeat. Never know what to believe anymore. But seems to be some truth to all of it in some way. Edited September 15, 2019 by UYI4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having around 20 or so songs to work through isn’t horrendous output if it’s true there’s not much else. I’m sure that number was different by 04-06 after Bucket arrived 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Pretty happy with this track listing. In particular I feel Atlas is a better follow-up to TWAT than Catcher, which I've always felt "clangs" on the final album: Would have likely been my favourite album of 2001 had it been released, even though I wasn't really a GNR fan at the time Rereading Chinese Whispers for the bajillionth time, what's interesting is that in both 2001 and 2002 Axl said that the first album would be 18 songs. If they were sticking with 74 minute CDs and just one disc for the first album, that'd be an average of just over four minutes per song. Maybe he was planning on using the epic ballads sparingly per album? Quote "With 18 songs, the group's next album [...] which will be released in June [...] is a collection of songs, which, in Axl's opinion, are as good as 'November Rain'. Among them 'Madagascar', included in the show on Sunday. The CD will include a tribute to John Lennon [Catcher in the Rye], and another [song] about child abuse." (O Globo, 01/16/01) Quote "There's been some concern. That if we play five or six new songs, then there can't that many more on the album. Au contraire, mon frère. We're just playing the songs we're not considering putting out as singles or anything. So, you'll get 18 songs, and about 10 extra tracks. And when that, when the record company feels that has run its course, then you'll get it all over again. By that time, I should be done with the third album. So we'll see if all goes well boys and girls." (Axl, Docklands, 08/26/02) Quote "He admitted not feeling happy with the show last night, and gave some details of the new album: he already has 36 songs practically ready (one dedicated to John Lennon, another about child abuse), and there is a possibility that the album is double , in the style of Use your illusion, one of the compacts would be named after Chinese Democracy and the other would be called PRL" (O Globo, 01/16/01) Or maybe that O Globo interview could be interpreted as 18 tracks across 2 CDs, one called Chinese and one called PRL, but ultimately the same album?

TheSeeker Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Let's update the list. Axl said 26 tracks were "nearly done" in January 2006 and we can narrow those down to these 23 songs that we know have confirmed vocals: Atlas Shrugged (demo) Better Catcher in the Rye Chinese Democracy Going Down (demo) Hard School (demo) If the World I.R.S. Knockin' on Heaven's Door (demo) Madagascar Oh My God Perhaps (demo) Prostitute Riad N' the Bedouins Scraped Shackler's Revenge Silkworms (demo) Sorry State of Grace (demo) Street of Dreams The General (fan recording) There Was a Time This I Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) So for someone who hasn't kept up over the last couple weeks... what's the thinking on the impetus for the leaks? Do people think they're from official sources to gauge fan reaction? Or did someone sitting on them just get sick of not sharing them all of a sudden?

grkgunner Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I hope rerecorded Welcome to the Jungle comes next since we know it was on that list.

djones1225 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I've put together a 22 track boxset type of thing together 2 CDs worth of shit, from 9 demos no alt takes, put '99 going down on the list of demos & 01 Madagascar. The other 13 is Oh My God EOD, after that is all the leaks, then the 5 leaked remixes from Brain & Melissa with 2013 leak of Going Down. Run time is like 1 hour & 37 minutes. With alt. takes, TWAT & The Blues leak last year (which is the same take as the leak this year but different production) drums up of Atlas, it would be 27 songs.

JimmyMick3 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Three dollar pyramid is out. It’s a instrumental of ‘Better’ basically. As It Began is out there too. Basically another instrumental but it’s piano driven. Sounds pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azifwekare Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 So when the instrumental version of Better leaked all those years ago, we basically had Three Dollar Pyramid. Still interesting. I would love for Bucket's original Shackler's Revenge to follow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnrjanus Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 It is remarkable that no news outlets are talking bout this. It is buzz. But as pointed out by Trunk, it's not his place to speak on this chaos leakings The management is keeping a lit on it and i believe are persuing every action thats availeble for them. Even within time for the tour etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
