Free Bird Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Rovim said: I wonder how many tracks Slash and Duff reworked exactly. Do we actually know that it was 6 tracks and that's it? or that was just the number Slash thought would actually see the light of day. IIrc he first said they've got a lot reworked and then later after HS and Absurd were released he talked about another 2-4 songs. But it seemed like he was unsecure about it like it could have been more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is so far fetched right now that I kept my mouth shut lol I don’t think it’s that far fetched. Maybe not a full studio LP but an EP with 4 tracks and 4 live tracks wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. If the plan is to actually begin the process of a new album next year now would be the time to get everything out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Whipwreck Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Out of all the completed Village demos that didn't make CD, this is the one that would benefit the most from the instrumental being reworked The first minute or so is very promising, sounds like it's building to a massive chorus but doesn't really go anywhere after that. It has a Southern rock feel that Slash can really enhance, it's in his wheelhouse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "I'll be the last..." chorus is pretty cool but that section right before kinda messes it up for me. I'd love it if they somehow changed this particular part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be four songs, which is highly unrealistic and too much to expect from GN'R. What would stop them from doing another Hard Skool EP thing, where you have Perhaps The General and Atlas + live cuts? It doesn't have to be another song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 A re-worked Atlas Shrugged would be awesome. If it doesn't happen for whatever reason, so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Pretty sure hasitleaked has posted about new GNR songs before (I wanna say at least a year or two before HS and Absurd were released). There's zero reason to expect Atlas in November. If it happens, great. But we've probably already heard the best version of the song. My only hope is that whenever they do release it, they include another unheard song as the b-side (Seven, Cuban Skies, etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rework of it can ONLY make it better lol, it really can not be made any worse it's already bottom of the barrel out of the vocals village leaks. Not sure they can save a song this bad but it's better to hear them try than not get anything at all.

I don't have much faith that decades of tinkering, and replacing Brian May with Slash, have improved the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicDwolfwood Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Nah. The fact we're getting two songs out of them this year, is like seeing pig fly or something lol. The best thing to do is have expectation on the floor, that way you're not too upset if nothing happens and or are happy if you get something. such is being a Guns fan.

I believe that what Axl meant by saying the second half of Chinese was completed for a while almost a decade ago means with full vocals and lyrics and the number of tracks are comparable to Chinese Democracy. I'd love to believe that there are usable vocals for songs like SoulMonster, Oklahoma/Berlin, Quick Song, Zodiac, Real Doll, Inside Out, but I'm not that optimistic....

Sounds like background music for a detergent commercial I doubt it ever got an overhaul like Silkworms did. Maybe more like SOD or TWAT where they added some parts, but both of those songs were overcooked by the time CD came out. I can't imagine an extra 15 years of tinkering made the song better and I doubt Slash will have a solo/tone that fits the song as well as Brian's. Maybe I'll be wrong, but I expect whatever version of Atlas that gets released will still just be mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
