#92 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2019 tour date announced » 336 weeks ago
And the new music dance has been going on since 1994! They just took a break on November 23rd 2008. If you recall, axl was pimping “ the second half of Chinese” in the chats of December 2008 with “same bat time same bat channel” quote. Instead of a year, it has now been a decade! Honestly, it is unbelievably illogical that ANY of us waste our breath and energy on this issue.
it's even crazier that the same "2nd half of chinese" is still being touted in articles about the band.
"I've heard some magnificent stuff that Axl has -- really cool stuff he's been working on," McKagan said last month. "So I'm excited about the possibilities with that, of course. I don't mean to get anybody rabid. Our day will happen when it happens, that's for sure."
axl had a few days of creative output in the late 90s and other than a collab with bugs bunny, hasn't done shit since.

Brain actually turned in a whole bunch of "weird" songs, one of which led RTB to ask, "What is this, reggae?"
what's the story here?

2020 should be an exciting year. 
#97 Re: Guns N' Roses » LEAKS THREAD » 347 weeks ago
I'm curious if somewhere out there exists a sort of directory of what has leaked and what versions there are. For example,
TWAT:
'99
AntiquietIRS:
'99
'02
MSL
AntiquietSo on and so forth for each Chinese Democracy era song. Does such a thing exist?
do yourself a favor and just get the instrumental versions of each song.
way better album without axl's ariana grande auto-tune vocals.

west arkeen was a big part as well.
it's a shame the songs he co-wrote aren't available on spotify -- some of the band's best.
i'd stab somebody for an acoustic demo of the garden. same for the original rendition of it's so easy.
In an Eddie Trunk interview from 2006, Axl said that Duff and West originally wrote the song as an acoustic "Hippie Ya-Ya" song, and that it was Slash's decision to turn it into a rock song.[3] McKagan stated that West taught him about alternate tuning, leading the song to have a more distinctive sound, saying "without open-E tuning, that song wouldn't have happened", that's why West has songwriting credit on it."[4]

the short answer is slash, but what makes guns such a great acoustic band?
gnr lies, late show '88, cbgb's, the acoustic sets in '93... some of gn'r's best shit as a band is when they were playing acoustic guitars
move to the city, november rain and new work tune were the top highlights from the otherwise unimpressive afd boxset.
imo, gnr's acoustic songs capture the natural vibe of the band -- bunch of drunk fucks goofing around having a great time. that's one of the things i feel is missing from chinese democracy, contributing to the record's main problem of just being a debbie fuckin' downer. bucket's spanish guitar on if the world is nice, but it wasn't enough.
not sure if i'm in the minority with this, but you ain't the first is one of the band's best songs. it's also one of the few gn'r songs regularly in my rotation today.
i'd love to see the nitl lineup do an acoustic-only set in the future. i wish that damn saskatoon show was still available somewhere. the acoustic set on the couch was unreal and i only saw that once before the cia took it down.
how the fuck did guns never do an mtv unplugged show? for a band that regularly misses opportunities, that was one of the biggest. theirs could have been better than stp's or alice in chains.

finck talked about how frustrated he was working on instrumental songs with no titles.
personally, i'd LOVE to hear those. those guys killed hundreds of hours in the studio waiting for axl to show up. i can only imagine they put together some monster instrumentals.
i want to hear what they jammed on after taking this photo:
it really is crazy... the amount of material recorded by guns n roses compared to the amount of material the band released is absolutely disproportionate.
is there any other band like that?
zombux is right though... we're never gonna hear shit. it's just really unfortunate because axl assembled a mutant team of the world's most talented freaks and we only heard a fucking fraction of what they put together.
