gunsnchalupas Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Scenario: Guns N' Roses plan to release a 15th Anniversary re-issue of Chinese Democracy. The label does not feel the album is marketable as it was originally released. They want the songs re-done with Slash and Duff. Similar to what we have seen with Hard School, Absu(backwards R)d, and Perhaps. The only catch is that the album cannot exceed 45 minutes. Times are tough with vinyl pressing. They want the album out for the holiday season. Limiting the album to a single 45 minute LP would allow that to happen. The album cannot exceed 45 minutes. All the songs chosen must have appeared on the original Chinese Democracy album. You can have one "wild card" song. Meaning, a song that did not appear on the album. This song cannot involve Axl going into the studio to lay down vocals, because let's be real here. So if it is Slither, or a cover, it's gotta be Duff on vocals. We'll assume anything from the locker sessions has vocals by now (even if they probably don't). It can be anything from an unreleased Chinese era song, a cover, a Velvet Revolver song. How would you market the album? What would the front cover be? Would you keep the name Chinese Democracy, or would you name it something different in order to avoid confusion with Axl's misunderstood masterpiece? For reference, the original album with song lengths. 1 Chinese Democracy 4:43 2 Shackler's Revenge 3:36 3 Better 4:58 4 Street Of Dreams 4:46 5 If The World 4:54 6 There Was A Time 6:41 7 Catcher In The Rye 5:52 8 Scraped 3:30 9 Riad N' The Bedouins 4:10 10 Sorry 6:14 11 I.R.S. 4:28 12 Madagascar 5:37 13 This I Love 5:34 14 Prostitute 6:15 Edited October 1, 2023 by gunsnchalupas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the question is which title will get more attention (hence get more people click on it) based on who they'd like to see naked the most, then I think Slash works better than Duff, but the best option is Axl. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausagebrain Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Let Slash be naked? What, like the time in 1989 when he ran naked across that golf course in Arizona, because he was trippin' and he thought he was being chased by little aliens? That's drugs for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
