AxlRoseCDII Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 For anyone who likes full albums, you know how having a sense of cohesion is. Since we’re getting a bunch of singles along with leaks, a lot of us are compiling our own CDII collection. I’m trying to order mine and wanted to see other opinions. 1.) Hard Skool 2.) ABSURD 3.) Perhaps 4.) Atlas Shrugged 5.) The General 6.) Monsters 7.) Going Down 8.) OMG 9.) State of Grace 10.) Nothing I think Hard Skool works as the best opener, being a commercial song with a ISE like bass start. Nothing works as the closer due to the mellow elevator like music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I've listened to this playlist a couple times today: The General Monsters Oh My God (1999) Absurd Perhaps (2000) Hardschool (2000) Atlas Shrugged (2001) Going Down (2006) State Of Grace Throw Tonto and Zodiac in there and you've got a great album in 2002, and an album CD nerds still would've loved in 2011. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbinson Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Where the hell is quick son? That sounds a killer track as well as Berlin. A lot of killer instrumentals on the village leaks got to see the light of day? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie6 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 A CD II release would have been amazing after the CD tour 2009-2011. End of 2011 , after Rock in Rio where they would have played Hard School, they release a live DVD for Xmas . Fans =Happy 2012 - CD II = Fans super happy 2013 -2015 CDII Tour . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimisbatman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Thyme seems to be the obvious album opener for me. And including: SR remix General Monsters Perhaps 2000 Atlas Drums 👆 Hard School 2000 Me & My Elvis TIL remix Oklahoma Edited October 28, 2023 by jimisbatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) SIDE A 1.Hard Skool 2.Absurd 3.Perhaps 4.The General and Monsters SIDE B 5.Atlas Shrugged 6.Berlin 7.Seven 8.Quick Song (renamed to No Words to excuse the gibberish) Just put that out and call it an EP. I would throw others in there like Curly Shuffle and Me & My Elvis, but I don’t think any of those actually have vocals. State of Grace’s vocal track is not good enough to warrant a release. Eye On You grew on me but it doesn’t fit the GnR vibe. Nothing is just a sketch. Cuban Skies probably has vocals but I bet it’s stupid.

At least it has vocals, & proof of existence...not just a track with no vocals like the most of what the village stuff was End of days version is mint, leave it as it is, I'd still rather hear a studio Wichita over Better 2.0 or whatever it would be called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ain't heard them so they can't have? Otherwise how could you know? We need to be more open to the fact, there's growing evidence that lots of other recording occured after that small window we have access to 99/2000...a lot of it we know little about....03-05 is especially a big mystery....Axl was obviously still tinkering and working hard on things up until at least 2008, that's a full 8 years of possibilities....by the law of averages at the very least, a bunch of those early demos have vocals at this point...finished vocals? That's another question....but one assumes if as Axl said CD2 was ready to go by 2014, it had to have at least 10-14 tracks....
