CD Leaks Discussion Thread **NO LINKS, NO ASKING / HINTING FOR LEAKS**

[DieselDaisy 17,700]

It is probably one of the ''New Line jobs''. New Line were acquiring the rights to Jackie Chan films from the mid '90s onwards, dubbing them (with Jackie himself), re-scoring and re-editing them for American audiences. Jackie himself was filming in a lot in places like Vancouver and Melbourne so it was a real push by him to target western audiences. You have Rumble in the Bronx which is the best of the bunch, First Strike (Police Story 4) and Mr Nice Guy.

Oklahoma City Bombing happened in April 1995, friend

So you're saying Axl waited 3-4 years to write an instrumental song about it?

Really?

I hope you’re just playing because you know shit about doing a record i guess. Just bcause the INSTRUMENTAL is called that way, doesnt mean the lyrics are about that as Axl himself said it was renamed to Berlin, as with lyrics.

Also Shacklers was named by Buckethead, Brain and Scaturro in Giant Robot, then used in guns, whose lyrics are about Another shooting else Axl liked years after.

Has anyone compiled a list of leaks by week/date/month when they have leaked?

Axl wrote the lyrics during the lawsuit with Erin/Stephanie. He said the bombing just happened, so many innocent people hurt, and all those woman cared about was making him suffer

That was never confirmed - in 2000 the track was still an instrumental when Axl played it for a Rolling Stone reporter

Almost finished compiling my 2000 Intentions album after meticulously listening and comparing the multiple versions of songs from most recent leaks. 

However, often found myself turning up the volume, (song volume levels differ) and find my ears are ringing. 

Did anybody use a programme to conform the song levels/volumes? 

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

I used to use a program called MP3Gain for that. I'm not sure if there are better programs now, but that's what I used. If nothing else, you might Google that program first and see if it's still a good one to use.

Poor Axl

Did anyone else notice the amplitude range for the KOHD acoustic leak is much lower for the right channel than the left? I balanced them out with an audio editor and it seems to sound much, much better.

Not sure if this was deliberate or a mistake when the file was created. Every other leak I opened in the editor was already balanced between both channels.

You must have the first leak of the song, the ones that Numbers leaked on GNRevo. Those were all ruined on purpose. 

It wasn't until the Chairman started to leak that we got the original rips from the CDs.

I recently revisited the CD leaks and I thought some of them were pretty good. If you guys are interested, I made an album tracklist below that flow cohesively.

It's a very rocking album with fast paced rhythms, great guitars and no ballads. It begins quite organically and then it slowly turns into a weird futurist hellscape. I like it better than CD actually.

CDII

1. Atlas Shrugged
2. The Rebel
3. Quicksong
4. Going Down
5. Oklahoma
6. Hard School
7. Mustache
8. Tonto
9. Perhaps
10. Soul Monster
11. Curly Shuffle
12. State of Grace
13. D Tune
14. The General

(No Devious Bastard and no Zodiac because they don't fit)

^^^not bad. I also recently did a fresh listen of all the recent leaks. If I were the band, I would use these songs for CD2:

Hard School, Atlas, Perhaps, State of Grace, The General, Quick Song, Berlin (Oklahoma), Soul Monster (Elvis), Zodiac, and Mustache. Also, I would hope they throw in Seven and Down By the Ocean, since we haven’t heard those yet (and I would like to hear them).

is soul monster the same as elvis and me?

No, just that one-minute, potato-quality cellphone recording that Evader used as the template for his artificial version.

who needs the real Axl, when we can just use Artificial Axl!

Do you have a link to what Evader did on youtube for the general?

@RussTCB is it against the rules to post Evader’s General in here? Even tho it’s technically not a real leak?

Unfortunately, yeah. His mix is based around the chord progression from the cell phone clip of the actual song, so we can't allow a direct link :/

It's just an assumption based on the Elvis reference.

We have nothing to suggest that 'Me & My Elvis' is necessarily the same as 'Elvis Presley and The Monster of Soul'.

I get the feeling the whole "[working title] became [unheard song]" thing is just people wanting there to be as little unheard material as possible. Without confirmation it's all just assumptions.

I'm assuming just shite talk. Yes, on top of everything else we have to deal with people getting a kick out of trolling around.

I'm all for having a laugh! but that should be at the expense of the band, not the fans of the band! we're on the same team
