F*ck Fear Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 CITR sounds like Brian May / Richard FortusIRS - Buckethead / Axl?If Catcher In The Rye was written in 1999/2000 like what I've read, Fortus had nothing to do with it.

War Of The Roses Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 CITR sounds like Brian May / Richard FortusIRS - Buckethead / Axl?CITR is 1999 or older. So Richard wasn't even int he band. Paul Tobias however was.Brian May is for sure on Catcher, confirmed by Brian himself.CITR sounds like Brian May / Richard FortusIRS - Buckethead / Axl?If Catcher In The Rye was written in 1999/2000 like what I've read, Fortus had nothing to do with it. He joined in 2002.i love these moments in which im righthttp://youtube.com/watch?v=4xPWxkig6aEfortus used that riff earlier,so if richard joined in 02, and that riff was made in 99", brian may couldnt have made it because that riff was made by richard, so CITR was made in 02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I can't find the interview anywhere where Axl was talking how they tried a new approach on the songs on chinese democracy. I remember him saying that instead of writing the lyrics first (old gnr) they now wrote the lyrics last. And then he said something about him being able to sit down and write lyrics till the end of the world or something? Anyone else remember that? Can't find it anywhere...

BrianD Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Axl wrote all of the lyrics, most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackamo! Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Axl and Pitman write most of the songs, at Axl's mansion.Plus the other guys get their chance.Stop giving Axl so much credit though.And I don't think Brian May wrote any lyrics, he just played.

Vadin Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I think most of the guys have contributed to the songs one way or another.. Even bumblefoot.But, for instance, Axl could have written I.R.S on a piano.. the rhytm in that song fits a piano very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Kid Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 The songs (except any written in the last year or so) have been written and rewritten and tinkered with for such an extent over the last 8-10-12 years that who knows who's actually on any final version and gets credit.Some of these things might be like that old theory about the car. If you buy a car and gradually replace every part on it, is it still the same car when you're done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel of music Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 i'm just guessing here as we all are, i think Axl wrote all the lyrics (and maybe some music, like piano parts) and then the other guys wrote the music, but i don't know how did they share it, all we know for sure is that Robin wrote Better's music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Well let's revive this a bit too...http://www.htgth.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=120In this press release about Oh My God Axl says "All the lyrics were written by myself".http://www.htgth.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=28Axl: "I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it. That's kind of tough. It's like you got to go in against these new guys who kicked ass. You finally got the song musically where you wanted to, and then you have to figure out how to go in and kick its ass and be one person competing against this wall of sound. Why I chose to do it that way is that, you know, I can sit and write poetry 'til hell freezes over, and getting attached to any particular set of words... I felt that I would write to those words in a dated fashion, and we really wouldn't get the best music. "Oh My God" is a perfect example. When we finally got "Oh My God" where it needed to be, then I got the right words to it."Also in that interview Axl talks about 70 songs that they've been working on etc.... Given the context it really makes me think that the band wrote the music and then Axl wrote the lyrics. At least in a majority of the songs.

AndyBandy Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 If Robin is responsible for the guitar riffs on Better, then I have a whole new level of respect for him! Along with Axl's vocals, they just really make the song. Should definately be the first single! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I agree, better should be the first single, it's a great tune that's melodic with a heavy part and also very catchy...ther's a vintage axl vocals that will draw old gn'r fans,and it sounds modern with robin's bluesy solo....what more can you ask from a single?

slashplay Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I'd say Axl has most of the lyrics, but there has to have been a little bit of input from other members. I also feel Izzy will be on the record in terms of lyrics, in some way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
