I knew when I said overproduced it was wrong when I hit "post." Oh well, CD is wayyy too cluttered. The nuances, like the noise under the killer riff during the solo (and absent samples) of Madagascar is fantastic. That would have fit Buckethead's solo PERFECTLY. The sound is so much lighter and crisper. The sub bass really hurts the song.
And the guitars aren't the problem, its the number of guitars, on top of a whole bunch of other shit that's going on, that kills the songs for me.
I need to hear the rest of these. I hope Axl releases a new mix of the album.

The maddy re-mix sounds great.
These re-mixes really make me wish Bob Ezrin was on board for production of CD. Not even as the main producer, but at least product control. He knows how to layer a song - and the songs on CD are way too dense.
These songs lose so much by over production and too much everything... 
And add another reason why any pre-Bumble/Frank leaks that are floating around are so important.

You can get 2 pro shot concerts from 2006 on youtube. Some of their best shows on top of it.
I don't think the leaks ruined CD for me. It was a bummer that some of the demos were better, but I've come to terms with Ron's contributions and I really dig CD, even the title song.
I'd be real upset if I only hear future releases with Ron and the DJ guy replacing Buckethead and Robin. I want to hear the original 2001-2004 line ups material, how it really sounds. I'd even like to hear the original version of Shackler's Revenge.
Leaks won't hurt my experience with the real album.

I think Axl knew how much TIL teetered on cheesiness. It probably, from what I understand, was pretty personal to him. Maybe he was insecure about it.
*edit*
The studio version of Madagascar just comes off bland to me, compared to the live versions. I sort of agree about the sampled quotes, but I really woudn't mind if it was just the "I have a dream" quotes sampled and the others were dropped.
#11145 Re: The Sunset Strip » A Nightmare on Elm Street: Introducing the New Freddy Krueger » 913 weeks ago
Just got a hold of the script review of NOES remake and here are the basics:
Freddy IS a child molester... sort of... But more on that in a second...
Freddy hardly speaks. No comedy. And he's not a janitor in this one. He was a gardner at a preschool, where he was beloved by the kids, until.... So, he's not a child killer who gets off on a technicallity like in the original.
The new Freddy is really, really, really pissed off and angry.
One of the strongest aspects of the story, according to the review, is Freddy's backstory that's told in dreams and flashbacks.
The big twist is... The little kids could have been lying that he molested them. This is the mystery of the film Nancy has to figure out.
And Freddy's killings are supposed to be pretty gruesome.
With no spoilers given, the reviewer said the script is pretty strong.
I'm pretty friggin interested in this.

You know, believe it not, I think there's a chance they could focus on Freddy being a child molester. I know this is his first film, but I have faith Samuel Bayer is going to try and follow the dark and perverted tone of the original and try to make it more edgier. I have a felling he's going to want a "serious" career in films and, like James pointed out, I don't think Freddy the comic is going to show up.
That's why the NOES franchise did nothing for me. Freddy scared me when I was a kid based on 1 and 2. After that I only watched the movies because I knew sooner or later I was going to see some boobs. Freddy was lame.
#11147 Re: The Sunset Strip » A Nightmare on Elm Street: Introducing the New Freddy Krueger » 913 weeks ago
I actually really like Jackie.
They need to run with Freddy being a pedophile, not some lame "Child Killer." And Jackie Earle looks the part. Fucking creepy.
After one and two Freddy became a joke. I say make him completely evil.
If you're going to make a re-make like NOES, turn the origional on its head.

Ah, if you only would have responded with "Axl's hair." So close... 
And I agree. TWAT should be played more! 
#11149 Re: Guns N' Roses » Please Play TWAT more when a tour happens » 913 weeks ago
Nah, your original post was better. The non edited version.
