Caedo Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Oklahoma is mentioned as being instrumental on the CD's from the leaks, while all the other instrumentals just had their titles, which tells me that a version of Oklahoma with vocals had already been recorded, it just wasn't in the Village sessions leaks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Duff on vocals? Either leave Tommy on vocals as a cameo or have Axl do the vocals alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc this that song is a "14 years" alike song. And so.... we dont have Izzy, but we have Duff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 As much as i like going down I dont think its anything great enough to the band release it these days, specially leaving Tommy on vocals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I can't understand some people's thoughts at all - do you really believe that they even consider releasing a song with Stinson on lead vocals on the next Guns N' Roses album with Slash and Duff back in the band? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear the song I can (and really like to!) imagine Duff's vox all over it, I just think It fits well with his singing style - and in my mind It sounds good.

Popular Post Nick85 Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) After yet another opportunity to drop a single and/or make an album announcement has been bungled today, I would like to take a moment to show appreciation to both Tom Zutaut and Kevin Cogill without whom we'd have ZERO new music to listen to. We'll always have Hardschool, Atlas Shrugged, Perhaps, State of Grace & Eye On You. Which together, make a great E.P. from the CD era.

The instrumentals are a cruel tease though, would have hoped the band would be reworking some of those so we could get versions with Axl's vocals/lyrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 As for Oklahoma.....I would HOPE that there really are lyrics cause that's one song that Axl actually described as being "inspired" by the time he was sitting in court being sued by Erin Everly on the same day of the Oklahoma City bombings. BUT.....it's always within the realm of possibility that there never were any vocals. I'm not trying to be negative; just pointing it out. Maybe after court he heard the instrumental track for the first time and said "Yes, I like this one....it's a keeper....let's call it 'Oklahoma.'" Hopefully not....but the only reason I even say that is cause when it was played for the Rolling Stone reporter in 1999 it was only an instrumental. If he had supposedly written something or been inspired by that day in 1995, why was it still lacking a vocal track in 1999? And then changing it to Berlin at some point in the next decade. Weird. I really hope there are lyrics and we get to hear them someday. That's probably the most anticipated GNR song since "This I Love" since it's the one we've known about the longest at this point but still haven't heard. Just hearing the instrumental after all these years was very cool, but it needs vocals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimisbatman Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Just finished watching the live stream of Miami, and during Chinese Democracy I noted the screen had the red hand cover and the logo from the antiquiet leaks. 1) Was the red hand cover Axl's preferred cover for album? Because someone on here noted the bicycle cover image was on the big screens pre-concert 2001, so, 2) why not have the bicycle image on the back screens during the song live now. 99.5% of the casual gnr fans will know the red hand cover exists.

Never thought about it, or paid too much attention to it; and given I'm still putting together my ultimate CD from the recent leaks, I'm trying to piece together the most accurate version of the original vision as possible, and questioned why he was using those graphics to depict that era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryfon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I almost creamed my pretty pink crotchless panties when I heard there was new music. I'm a downloading motherfucker. I shouldn't have bothered. 20 year old B-sides and instrumentals don't do much for me but it was nice to hear Axls voice again and finish listening to Checkmate.

jackparker123 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 If we get to the European tour dates with no confirmed album release date I really hope The Chairman comes good with his "hard drives galore" quote, so the fans get something new for their money.

TMAC20 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Am I the only that thinks the reason the band shutdown all YT videos and such is because the band had already recorded a albums worth of material with Axls old voice - hell I have no clue just asking I heard “ Hard School “ for a minute and don’t remember any of it - never heard another leak Slash has stated recording is done but don’t know what to due with it Maybe the leaks costed us a album Just my opinion but what the hell do I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 You don't know jack shit as to when or if this band will ever release even one new song. Same as the rest of us. I'm sure this thread will be locked or merged in a matter of minutes, but no, in my personal opinion, which has no basis in insider knowledge, the leaks had no effect on any kind of upcoming release. Since there never was or will be one. A for youtube videos getting taken down, that's all due to one or two pyschotic eunuchs that have made it their life's mission to make everyone as miserable as them. And they're succeeding.

AxlRoseCDII Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I could see Guns using the leaks as an excuse for no new music. But realistically new music probably wasn’t going to happen either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
