Guest Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I may as well hurl my CD version of the album off a cliff this is Chinese Democracy. The Blues even sounds amazing..... I fucking hate The Blues but not this version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THELINESMAN Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If this came out in 2000 or 2001 it would have been number one. It's so unique, so different and yet melodic with brilliant lyrics. What a shame. Well done Axl, if someone stopped you releasing this they are a big fool.

username Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Wow. Just wow. This should've been it back in 2000/2001. Fucking awesome. It could've been HUGE. And based on what we've heard from Rough Mixes 2-4 a followup would've been done within a year. Fuck, can you imagine releasing a triple-album with this stuff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s fully Axl`s album, it`s not GNR. So CDII could have other left tracks from 2008 release and OMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Haven’t had the chance to listen to it all yet, but listened to Atlas. That version is cool though I prefer the versions on the Atlas disc. The harmonics at the start is beautiful Edited September 24, 2019 by Dean Harmonics not harmonica, fucking auto correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapidfire Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The bass in this album is what the final release desperately lacked. Really cool to hear the "Axl's vision" version of CD. A really solid album! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If we still don't get a version of Silkworms with a chorus by the end of these leaks then I officially give up with that damn song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
life_247 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Wow I was wrong about these discs - someones done some funky stuff to those previously released leaks, they're like mono'd or something. These sound like they need mastered and thats about it! Just so we're all clear (I'm sure someone answered this before) - this is actually the second attempt at the album. Sean Beavan / Youth did the original version of the album with Josh Freese (which also has leaked out there and sounds very raw, very different). This is the result of the Roy Thomas Baker sessions where they effectivly re-recorded the whole album I believe. But this is close to the album that they were looking at releasing in 2001 with that tour that got binned. However is there no Bucket on this disc at all?

kok Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It needs more Bucket (one week`s work) and this would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's Axl, Robin, Paul, Tommy, Josh, Dizzy and Pitman. Edit: Production should be Sean Beavan. No Roy Thomas Baker yet.
