I'm not sure what your point is....? There's a ton of misinformation out there currently due to that discord chat. Your source is most likely someone who's repeating a claim someone else made. Who knows how much validity there is to any of the claims. We're not involved with the leaks in any way, so we're not "on the case". We are not and never will be a source for distribution of leaks. We are and will continue to be the most popular place on the internet to discuss Guns N' Roses. The moment something really is leaked and starts making the rounds, discussion immediately kicks up here. The leaks themselves don't happen here mostly because none of us want to end up in jail. However, the most discussion certainly does occur here once things circulate. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This song is one that allways heard when I'm doing workout (and now hard school is other). I like Scraped too, especially the fan-edit that used the drum intro of the live performances. And I love Bucket's outro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassplayer1993 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Since the leaks came out, I haven't listened to anything else. My take is this: - Paul is a much better musician than anyone ever gave him credit for. All the negative comments from ex-members were just because of personal issues. - Robin (sadly) in my opinion is a much worse musician then anyone gave him credit for. Those solos hurt my ears. - Like someone previously mentioned, these sound... like a band playing. - It's hard to be a Guns N' Roses fan - Never go on Reddit again, and the guy who claims to know stuff there is probably taking a cheap course in creative writing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a bad idea. 10 yr anneriversy remaster of CD, 3 discs, with the 1999/2000 version, and bonus disc of unheard/live stuff. That way, Axl makes money, stops leakers.

It is a bit clearer but mostly because the mix on Rock Band was different and you can hear Bumble's guitar more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted September 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) It all comes out eventually. The thing I don't understand is Rose could have put out an attractive boxset: charged maybe £60-80 for a four-five disc ''Chinese Leftovers'' set and thrown in a nice book with detailed recording session notes - none of the shite that was thrown in the Appetite boxset such as fake tattoos. It certainly would have turned a profit, marketed as it would be at the hardcore fans and manufactured in small numbers. All that has happened instead of this scenario - and will continue to happen - is this ''Zutat horde'' will trickle out by MP3. Rose in otherwords witnesses his jealously guarded life's work exposed irrespective of his own inclinations and he doesn't make a penny from any of it! He could have pulled the rug from under the leakers and horders with a release which was genuinely exciting and well put together. What an imbecile haha.

I can see whey each may not have been included on CD, but I don't think they are any worse than a few tracks that made the album cut....with that said.... Does anyone else think that the leak of "Going Down" a few years back was a better song overall than both of these leaks? I know Tommy had lead vocals and Axl sang backup on the chorus, but to me, that was a better track overall. Hardschool I don't know but Atlas was finished... The version we got was just a demo, I do believe that wouldnt sound a lot different than we have now, if it was released but I bet would be cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead found themselves in a situation recently where someone was trying to sell a bunch of demos from OK Computer. Their immediate reaction was to gather up the best sounding versions of the same material and release it online for an extremely reasonable price. The hoarder(s) got fucked. The fans got "new-ish" tracks to listen to. The band made a little unexpected money. Win, win, win. Right? I will always remain stunned and sadly amazed that things can't go that way in GNR-land. Instead of things happening like the Radiohead situation, we have to deal with bullshit like this locker thing. Then we have to wait around while everyone (the hoarders) attempt to make every penny they can off of someone else's work,fucking over the fans and the band in the process. Things could be SO much better and different for GNR fans if the organization wasn't run the way it is. I realize that starts from the top down, so I'm throwing Axl right in there with everyone else who's responsible for such a mess. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

life_247 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) I remember there was a interview/chat with Seb and Axl where Seb said he doesn’t like studio tech where you just end up sounding far too perfect. Axl countered that he like some of the tech developments to push things to the max. Id imagine on Angel Down there’s only a gentle auto-tune on it (if you are unfamiliar with Autotune/Melodyne you basically can dial up or down the fixing it does. The auto tune “effect” (IE Believe by Cher) is where you tell it to correct everything that’s not a note - think a keyboard where it can only play separate notes (and sometimes engineers genuinely play the vocal melody on a keyboard and snap it to it) versus a violin where you can slide between notes and play everything in between) - but pretty much everything recorded over the last 20/25 years has some level of vocal tuning on it. A lot of the 99 leaks sound like they are quite heavily processed by tuning and in some places especially when Axl picks up the vocal pace it’s too much and produces those robotic artefacts. Normally you’d go back once you’d finished all the takes and tweak those points to stop it happening but to my ear these songs have the vocal tuning working quite hard and hasn’t been tweaked to fit the song. One side effect of this is sometimes the robotic sound of the voice and a general loss vocal clarity (it’s harder to pick out the lyrics) EDIT: That was meant to be a reply a post but I obviously wasn’t at the end of the thread - wasn’t meant to be that random.

Most of what I would refer to as "unfounded rumors" are all coming from a discord chat room where at least two well known banned users from here are pretty much making up whatever they want. Then other people post it as fact here and elsewhere. There have been a few guesses that have true over the years, so that's probably the reason people keep hoping some of this recent stuff is true. Overall, there's really nothing solid that I'm aware of outside of a few things we do know for sure. For example, we do know that Slash recorded in the studio for GNR as recently as a few weeks ago. It stands to reason that they will be re working some of the Chinese Leftovers for whatever GNR releases next. I would imagine our "insider friends" are probably just throwing song titles out there in an attempt to have guessed right if/when new GNR songs are officially released. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
