Still a ton of great songs on two albums and they both nearly maxed out the time limit on CDs. No doubt! Right up there with AFD, and Chinese Democracy (I wish they did the same with CD in 2008 or so, just get it all out, then that would more or less force the current lineup to write actual new material!) Just now, DannyVinyard said: It's better than the filler UYI songs I listed, for sure. Monsters is freaking awesome. Just imagine how much better it was before it was reworked or touched by the current lineup. (Soul Monster) 1 1 1 Quote

Back in the day, I thought an epic triple album release for Chinese Democracy was on the table. Who knows how things could have played out if Axl didn't no-show Phili 2002, which de-railed everything for NuGNR. 1 1 Quote

I suppose we were fortunate to get one album. My preferred scenario would have been two albums with Buckhead and Robin Finck, which probably exists somewhere... 1 Quote

I get Slash & Duff doing their thing to fix'em up, but really, who cares. The vocals will be the same. With some different guitar & bass sounds. Always liked Atlas, but that into has to go. Monsters i liked as is. SOG is just filler imo. I was on this GNR merengue round hoping for new shit for 30 years. It's not happening Well state of grace would not be thr same vocal, that was a rough sketch and not finished. Why would people be interested? Why not? It doesn't really float my boat but if bubchanxe they make one of these songs into a great song I'm going to be very happy. Hasn't happened yet, but it's possible 1 Quote

Throw in some early ChiDem live releases too .. There's enough recorded material there to last us a life time I wouldnt. I am sick of hearing the same tired songs to be honest. 3 Quote

What are you so bitter about? Like it, don't like it... why is it so important for you to shit on everyone else that likes it? 3 Quote

After hearing the singles, I'd bet if they released SOG it would be 99% the same vocals we've heard, soaked in effects. Maybe he did some minor touch-ups like he did with Perhaps, but don't get your hopes up for a different vocal take... 2 1 Quote

I wouldn't be surprised either, I just think that song is so unfinished vocally it would be very extreme of him not to have done a whole other run at it... but, we know what he did with the others so, all you can do is hope. Would be a shame bot to give a song like that a fighting chance 2 Quote

That’s assuming State of Grace wasn’t abandoned, and if it wasn’t, it’s likely Axl recorded proper vocals for it between 2000 and 2014. (If I had to guess, I’d learn towards it being an abandoned song, which is unfortunate, though Nothing wasn’t abandoned as of 2008, so who knows!) Quote

It's possible, but it's more likely that he kept the vocals and just digitally edited and added effects. Aside from little touch-ups or the odd lyric change, the early CD-era vocals were the final ones. 1 hour ago, Tom2112 said: Ha!

evilfacelessturtle Posted October 10 Posted October 10 The State of Grace vocals sound like that guy on Youtube who mocks Axl's voice. Pray to god that never sees the light of day as an official release. Quote

But it's obviously not a final version they'd release. 1 Quote

Expand Wtf Perhaps not all, but Monsters is better than a few of those songs. It’s certainly a top tier GnR track in my view 2 Quote
