#17171 Re: Guns N' Roses » Brain talks Chinese Democracy » 942 weeks ago
Freese won't be on CD. His WRITTEN work might be on CD, and he'll get credited, but the actual recording will be either Brain or Frank.
Brain is a great technical drummer, but i've just never been big on his sound. I don't know if that's his artistic sound (because he has that hip hop vibe on alot of his stuff. Funky beats) It just... I could never ever get into as a Guns N' Roses sound, and I don't know why. I can dig Bucket's guitar, Ron's guitar, Pittman's keys... but Brain's drumming just, I could never get into.
Frank on the other hand, I feel is just much more of the sound it should be. He's not technically as gifted as Brain, but the sound is 'right'. There's a more rhythmic sound Frank's drums have, whereas Brain's come across as 'one of the best drum machines alive'.
GN'R don't need a John Bonham, they need a Steven Adler, if that makes any sense.
Just one man's opinion. Frank > Brain (on GN'R terms)

It's hungry.
#17173 Re: Guns N' Roses » Australia to get Democracy Nov 22? apparently... » 942 weeks ago
Technically, yeah. 22 = Sunday, and so forth.
It's still a day ahead of time across the Pacific, in comparison to the U.S.
#17174 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Starts on Best Buy.com » 942 weeks ago
Yeah, but if that were the case Tommie, they'd just have listed it from the very beginning as something like...
Chinese Democracy [clean]
Chinese Democracy [PA]
Chinese Democracy: SE [PA]
Not Version 1, 2 & 3 on Best Buy's employee computer, and Cover A, B & C on their official website.

You can thank Irving Azoff and his management group by buying every version of CD.
Seriously.
#17176 Re: Guns N' Roses » Brain talks Chinese Democracy » 942 weeks ago
I hope Frank.
I don't know who to blame, Josh or Brain, but the drums sound like fucking shit on just about every leak i've ever heard, and live boots from the 2001-02 era. I don't know if it's Josh's writing, Axl's preference or Brain's, I dunno. But that hip hop drum beat stuff, that's especially prevolent in TWAT & Madagascar is dated by 15+ years. I loved Faith No More too, but their work is still dated today.
I really hope the drums are redone on everything.
#17177 Re: Guns N' Roses » Australia to get Democracy Nov 22? apparently... » 942 weeks ago
I don't think that will happen.
November 23rd is already an unorthadox release date, that seems to be solely rooted in the Best Buy U.S. exclusive. The website even has November 25th.
I think it will be released Sunday, November 23rd in the U.S. alone at Best Buy stores only. It'll be released worldwide (outside of the U.S.) both physical & digitally on November 25th.
This has no source for the actual Universal Australia schedule, and just seems to be someone who got the RS article, and tacked on a day early, because that's the norm outside the U.S.
It would make no sense for Best Buy from a business standpoint to have an exclusive, and GN'R to put the album out two days early, just for Australia to get it on Saturday.
So what's next, Europe gets it Friday? Japan on Thursday? China on Wednesday? By the time we're done it'll be an entire week early.
It'll be Nov. 23rd in the U.S., Nov. 25th everything else, imo.

The three 'eras' idea with these albums, one being the 2000-01 album, one being the 2002-03 album, one being the 2006-07 album, is a cool ass idea.
But it would ONLY appeal absolute diehards.
The only way i'd see that working is still, if each, despite their era, featured a slightly altered tracklist. But how would it be marketable in a mass sense, if people picked up one version with CD (the track), and it sounds more like OMG, and way dated back to like 1999.
Cover/Version C has vanished, and is now down to two (unless it resurfaces tomorrow). My guess is it's just covers, if it's now down to two.
No way i'm buying multiple copies for just covers. I still think the masterstoke will be DVD's with exclusive material, exclusive to each version.
I'd be interested to know if the SKU's for a third release are still in Best Buy's system, just not on the website.
#17179 Re: Guns N' Roses » Video and tour in the works according to Rolling Stone » 942 weeks ago
Bucket seemed to remain open to returning when the album was released, and he was practically begged to return in 2006.
They'll ask again imo, if the new band 'idea' is still alive. I hope he returns. The 2002 GN'R seemed much more like a band than the 2006-07 version.
#17180 Re: Guns N' Roses » Best Buy Posts Album Artwork for Chinese Democracy » 942 weeks ago
dont think cover art is real, done by fan went to amazon.com theres a list of customer artwork this one is included
http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media … F8&index=2
Yeah, but it's the exact cover, in the exact size taken off Best Buy.
It's real. Best Buy would not put fan-made artwork on their website.
I still think that theme from the Warfield 2006 posters would make a great Use Your Illusion III with Chinese flavor, cover. I loved that shit.
