#1 Re: Guns N' Roses » If GNR releases nothing in 2023, is this the end for you? » 14 hours ago
Seeing on another forum that The General could be State of Grace or at least some portion of it. Have often wondered that myself . Wouldn’t be disappointed (other than the fact it would be nice to hear something we’ve not heard before) as I think it’s the bones at least of a strong track.

I guess when I think of his vision I think of it as bringing the classic Guns sounds into a new modern era. He waited so long however , that the musical landscape had changed several times and by the time the damn thing came out, a lot of it sounded dated. It certainly had avant garde, experimental elements - it would have been cutting edge in about 1995.
Prostitute for me was the exception. It encapsulates all of those newer elements while still sounding timeless. Best song on the record for me.

Prostitute is just about the only track that lived up to the hype for me. Actually delivers on the promise that Axl’s vision spoke to

Even if we give her/them the benefit of the doubt....it's still bullshit.
Remember...it's been anything goes for years. Both Duff and Fortus recently claimed GNR does not have a set list..and has never had a set list. The show is 10000% spontaneous.
It's just a bizarre coincidence that they play the exact same songs in the exact same fucking order year after year.... and the set lists fans have seen are merely a mirage.... nothing more.
Oh the “spontaneous, no set list” trope is complete bullshit, absolutely. The last time played a spontaneous show was we 1991 I reckon

Just stop talking. It’s embarrassing.
I actually don’t have much of a problem with his comment. Compared to other artists there an ok amount of variety day to day. There’s just never anything new, and he definitely doesn’t promise anything new.
It's complete horseshit to suggest they are winging setlists or in fact don't have a setlist like the early UYI shows... it's not true and all the click tracks/samples and graphics would be pre-programmed at any rate. It's disingenuous to say the least
I attended 2 shows within days this past December; they were identical setlists (songs/order/solos etc...) bar Slash not doing the Only Women Bleed intro for KOHD the second show

Im hoping the songs were further along. We got conflicting reports on the albums status years ago. Kim would say it's moving along nicely but one of Cornell's final statements on the record was claiming they'd barely started.
My stance is the same as it was back then...I don't want Cornell solo songs turned into Soundgarden songs just to compile a final album.
Just use what the band was working on. I'd prefer a short album over a longer one where half(or more) is his solo material.
I'll buy it whatever it is....but I'm hoping they take it seriously now that it appears this may really happen.
It's unfortunate that the King Animal sessions didn't lead to more songs. It's like they stopped once coming up with enough songs for an album.....and I still say Halfway There is a Cornell solo song brought into the mix.
It’s encouraging there are co-writing credits on the 7 songs that have been listed. That seems to indicate Soundgarden collaborations as opposed to solo material. That said, I’ll take anything they produce . I feel the songs are in safe hands - they will be respectful to the integrity of Soundgarden and Cornell

If they have to...Peter Jackson could help with this. He used some crazy technology to clean up some old Beatles songs.
I'm assuming the material is in better condition than early 60s Beatles music though.
The option is there if they need it. There's no reason anymore for major bands to release shit sounding songs/bootlegs.
I think the main thing in the legal wranglings was getting hold of the session files of the new stuff that she had possession of. Session files are multitracked - so you can easily isolate each instrument including the vocals. Cornell had a state of the art home studio so there is no concern from me that they can't complete these songs properly and have them sound state of the art - fleshing out the music around the existing vocals
#9 Re: The Sunset Strip » Chris Cornell - No One Sings Like You Anymore Vol. 1 » 6 weeks ago
I really hope this approach is taken with the isolated vocals extracted and not just the raw demos released. From Kim:
“It is entirely possible, because that’s what we were doing… We definitely have another record in us. Stuff that’s written, stuff that’s demoed and recorded – certainly. All it would need is to take the audio files that are available. I’d tighten up the guitar stuff that’s on there, add other stuff. Ben [Shepherd] does the bass. Matt [Cameron] is able to get the drums he wants. We can get the producers we want to make it sound like a Soundgarden record. And yes, we can totally do that.”
#10 Re: The Sunset Strip » Chris Cornell - No One Sings Like You Anymore Vol. 1 » 7 weeks ago
Good news - hope the remaining members get to do what Kim said in a previous interview - flesh their parts out , record in proper studio etc and it’s not just released as a pile of demos
