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

Josh was such a wasted opportunity that Axl let it slip. His drumming on "Oklahoma" was top tier. 

 

I love his tracks more than Brain.

Rick posted a photo of a sheet of paper titled 'Subject Masters' with 25 songs on it, with a couple of new titles on it. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Do we have any more information about this? 

[Finck2006 116]

From the instrumentals they have a lot of potential specially

Tonto

Me & My Elvis

D Tune (this probably will have other name now)

Curly Shuffle (this probably too)

Zodiac

Quicksong

Mustache was pretty cool too!

Axl’s career, writ large. 

[F*ck Fear 1,070]

After a few months if not listening to GNR at all, I went back and listened to the leaks with vocals.

State Of Grace and Atlas Shrugged are my top two favorites. 

Both songs are in my top favorites from the CD era.

Don't forget Oklahoma

Really want to hear a finished version of Nothing.  Love Axl's vocal melody and the way he's singing in his natural voice.  The song sounds like the love child of Patience/D'yer Mak'er/Rod Stewart.  Some improvements would be the addition of guitars and real drums.

"Nothing" feels to me like the grown up cousin of Just Another Sunday

I've been playing that a lot the past week or two. Love his voice on it.

No, because it was all fake. He put that list together to make it look like he still had something left. Rick can't be trusted.

In the picture it looks like it's really a sheet paper from an old fax. So the fax is probably real (I don't think anyone would think of making a fake fax!) but the information given about it (i.e. that it was supposedly the track list of a "21st" CD) was fake.

The date on the fax is obscured - there's no reason to do that unless it's fake

Or because the date wouldn't fit with the claim about a 21st CD etc.

The date isn't exactly obscured. It's supposed to be on the top left part of the page that is not visible in the picture.

...so you're saying it's obscured

The dumbest part is that it's easy to change the date on a fax machine to whatever you want it to be, so whoever made the "fax" up was just plain lazy

 I don't know, I just think it would be too... imaginative? for the person we're talking about to think of making up a fax page and not a simple document page.

Is that Rick guy still on here? Last I heard he was getting sued for the leaks. There were rumors from Brasky and Chairman that someone had CD2 and I was wondered if Rick knew something we don't?

No one had that "Pitman disc" that they all claimed to have.

Rick has an account on here but hasn't posted in a while. I believe he's active on social media though.

On second thought, I guess "Dragon" could be an alternate title for Jackie Chan/Hard School since Jackie Chan was Bruce Lee's stuntman in "Enter the Dragon"

I still love these songs.

I’d love to pay for them. I’d also love to pay for instrumentals of each take. 

Zodiac is such a monster. It’s a giant electronic space robot roller coaster.

Me and My Elvis is a hallucinogenic trip inside of a haunted house and a hall of mirrors. 

Just incredible stuff.

Exactly! Thankful for the material.

I can see a music video of "Zodiac" with the 2002 lineup in some gothic night club and Buckethead doing the robot dance next to strippers. Lol what could have been...

Zodiac is my favourite of the instrumentals - by far. I noted earlier it sounds like something from Marilyn Mansons Mechanical Animals.

Yeah, its so amazing that i havent heard to it for months. Only Atlas and this Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit clone has hit potential

Imagine being so deluded as to think your personal listening habits are an accurate measurement for the quality of music.

[ezosk 43]

Hardschool

Dub Suplex (a simpler version instrument-wise, maybe)

MaME

Atlas

Oklahoma

Going Down (Duff on vocals, w. a killer Slash solo)

Zodiac

Perhaps

State of Grace

Devious Bastard

 

+1 or 2 songs from scratch would make a killer album.

I was looking a thread from 2014 about a guitar workshop/Q&A Fortus had done in Australia (I think that was the main interview that had generated hope then that a new release was imminent).

http://www.mygnrforum.com/topic/209727-aussie-fans-an-intimate-workshop-with-richard-fortus-nov-20th-2014

From a post by a forum member ( @rhiad85) who had attended the event and asked Richard a couple of questions:

Quote

Some other small bits of info - quoted the “Checkmate” song (aka all cautions made, every chance was given etc), but [Fortus] didn’t recognise it. 

If Richard was honest there, it means either that Hardschool hadn't been revisited for a long time and wasn't considered for the follow-up to CD or that Axl replaced the lyrics with new ones. A third possibility is that Richard didn't pay attention to the lyrics of the songs.
