Rindmelon Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Working my way through some old interviews to see any info on sessions from 96ish era. Was wondering if there was any info on songs from back then that they could in theory revisit if they were thinking of a new album. Few interesting parts maybe, not enough to justify it's own thread so i'll leave it here. Hard Rock (France) - 1996 by The Hard Rock Staff https://web.archive.org/web/20030406165801/http://www.gnrunlimited.com/articles/hrduff-96.html HR: OK! What is the status of Guns N' Roses today? Duff: We rehearsal every night and I play bass! Axl is playing the rhythm guitar, and it works very well! We work from Monday to Friday, ha, ha! There's me, Axl, Slash, Matt, Dizzy. There's also a friend of Axl who helps him to learn to play guitar. But we play, and it works! HR: Is there something concrete that came out from these rehearsals? Duff: Yes! Some songs are almost finished.

There was no sound. There was no nothing. We didn't play. We tried. Matt and I did play. It was cool when Slash joined for a week. Even when Zakk Wylde and Slash played together, there were a couple of songs in which there was a natural progression and they were very rocking. You can imagine, they were really hard songs. As hard as I like them, yeah! But I can't tell you what they sounded like, there was not a definite sound. (Duff) How was it like working with Zakk Wylde for that brief time? I liked it a lot. He's a good guy. He's the funniest guy I know! You can't help but liking him. I worked with him and the guy is a genius. When he sits at the piano and starts playing, he can bring tears to your eyes. When he was 18 he was like the champion of his state playing the piano. (Duff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now fallen down the Rabbit hole of looking into the missing 2001 shows from The Joint in Vegas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the effects added to this version are everything people have complained about on Absurd and The General…and Perhaps. the stripped down version was much more definitive.

SimoTheFish Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 It is not real. It is a fan made remake from old GN'R demo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That Bring It Back Home video is so obviously fake, I worry about everyone that believed it could be real Now... Holiday Absurdity, in the other hand, is pure genius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday Absurdity, in the other hand, is pure genius The title of Bring it Back Home video on YouTube doesn't help. It should be clear that it's not an unreleased song, but rather a fan remix/rework. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now fallen down the Rabbit hole of looking into the missing 2001 shows from The Joint in Vegas. I find that 97-98 period very interesting, exactly what was worked on and how much work with Robin was actually done in 97 before Tommy and Josh joined. Was anything recorded before Duff left with Robin I wonder. Could there be earlier version of Prostitute and IRS etc then we were aware of?

Oklahoma was bought in pretty much fully written at the start of 1998 according to Dave Dominguez who was one of the first engineers when CD sessions started. Suggests to me that a version probably exists with Duff on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leaked instrumental was from 2000, and I believe the Rolling Stone said they heard an instrumental of it in 1999. So later in 2000 or 2001+ is when it most likely got vocals. Zodiac 13 is the mystery, as one of the versions from the Village leaks (from 2000) was labeled as no vox (or something similar) but the 2001 mix (which I don't like as much as the 2000 mix, piano intro too quiet and Robin's beginning of the solo is not there). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma surely got vocals, just because of the change name between 2000 to 2008 when Axl confirmed as Berlin seems that was reworked or finished during that time , my personal holy grail with Me & My Elvis which I think is probably not finished. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's likely, but on the other hand, Axl could've just thought of another subject and or theme for Oklahoma/Berlin before having penned the lyrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
