UYI2 was 14 tracks also... 6 of which were ballads.
In comparison to AFD & UYI1, it is ballad-heavy, I just figured because it's a 'hard rock' album, that if GN'R were going to throw a hidden track in, they'd want 'rockers' to counterbalance the ballads, meaning they'd rather go with 8 rockers & 7 ballads, rather than 7 rockers & 8 ballads.
I personally don't care. The ballads already on the album are epic. Music is music, and as long as it's good... bring it!

Slash should be frustrated with that question.
It's pretty pointless.
Slash knows, what we all know... only Axl makes that call. When Axl calls him, and asks, Slash will think about it. But until then, NOTHING will happen.

I watched Obama's victory speech. One of the most moving things i've ever seen in American history.
But my whole back-thought throughout the entire thing was.... 'I hope he means everything he says'.
If Obama backs up everything he says, he'll be a historic icon imo. But if he's full of hot air, it'll be an empty box of Apple Jacks for the rest of history. A guy with all this flash, all this 'amazing', but with no substance.
I hope Obama means everything he says. It was very moving, and i'd hate to know after I voted for him, he won, and his moving speech, that it was all for nothing.

I was kidding with my response. Capt. is right, Chris said Silkworms won't be on the album.
As for a remixed OMG, like I said, I was joking. This album seems to be loaded with stuff we've already heard, so I joked that if there's a hidden track, it'll be something we've already heard.
But for there be a hidden track, my guess is it would be a rocker, with the album being so ballad-heavy, and considering the fact the album already finishes with THREE back-to-back-to-back ballads.
I'm just curious at this theory of a hidden track. Prostitute is such a phenomenal album closer, how would a track un-earth itself out of that smooth heavenly synth close? Seems to me it'll be a rough transition - for anything, unless it's another ballad that's kind of a sister song to Prositute that can kick off through Prostitute's outro.

Even Slash would tell you Bucket is a better technical guitar player than him.
#16766 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Liner Note Discussions *EXTREME SPOILERS* » 940 weeks ago
Knowing this album, it'd be Silkworms or a remixed-OMG.

Pitman has nothing to do with AFD, Lies, UYI 1+2....that doesn't make him on par with Axl - even if he happens to do a lot on CD.
Considering the fact that those are old albums with old lineups, you pretty much missed my point.
Judging by the liner notes, Axl, Chris, Paul, Freese & Bucket are the MAJOR contributors to this album, which will (at this point) be the 'legacy' of new Guns.
Yeah i see what you are getting at. I don't want to get into the whole name debate...but to me that's one of the factors about releasing CD as a "GNR" album - what comes with that branding is it's association with the other records. My point is that in a CD store in December of this year GNR will have 8 records for sale: AFD, LIES, UYI1, UYI2, TSI, Live Era, Greatest Hits and CD...so i guess I was just questioning the phrasing of pitman as equal to Axl to the GNR brand...as he will habe played on 1/8th of those products in the marketplace and Axl peformed on 8 of 8. I guess what i'm saying is that one factor of CD being released as it is is that - that even if its a fantastic record (which i think it will be) it becomes part of the overall GNR legacy.
In terms of contribution to the album, I guess I see the point you are making, in that he is clearly relevent from a songwriting perspective. I'm just saying to the overall brand and concept in terms of the wider public...he's going to remain unknown.
You're not entirely wrong on that. As far as the brand name goes, the only marketable icon on the GN'R roster in the new band is Buckethead.
But then again it was always that way. New Guns duo is Axl & Bucket, an the old was Axl & Slash.
Duff, Izzy... were never really marketed. And drummers have always been treated as 'employees'.

Wink is right on his statement though. "Try so hard to prove they can fill Slash's shoes"... that is a classic dumb old Gunner statement.
Hate to break it to you, Buckethead doesn't have to prove he can fill Slash's shoes. He's a better fuckin' guitar player.

Give me the good 'ole days back in 2004 when I was 19, being begged by the kids my same age to vote Kerry, to end this illegal war in Iraq. The children, the blood, the lies, don't let it continue... oh my.
Bush/Cheney 2004 - FUCK YEAH
