I dont have all of these anymore due to HD fuck up but

TIL remix- First clip leaked in December 2013 which pissed me off as I was hoping to use it to trade with, still doubt it would have worked as the remix's are worth less in a trade. Shortly after the clip leaked I found a 30 second clip sat on 4shared that had clips of Silk, OMG, TIL, & the other remixes.
Axl said this about TIL in 2008 on the forum chats.

“The main string melody in that section (meaning the bridge) I had originally written to a hip-hop loop as
well.” ( AXL CD.COM 2008 )

That sort of hints that the remix is probably closer to the actual original that you might expect. Vocals sound 2006 or 2010 to my ears but given that song dates back to the early 90's (Axl mentions it on the Robert John Doc) Those vocals could in therory be the oldest of the CD era.

The shackler's remix was done in December 2007

Brain: Axl is really interested in having everybody bring what they do into the picture. I just did a remix of
"Shackler’s,” - made it kind of more club. And I think he wants to put out a remix album of some of the other
songs we did. http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/arti … icleid=175

My friend Brain is the drummer for Guns N' Roses (he also used to be the drummer for Primus). He wrote
two of the songs on the new Guns N' Roses record 'Chinese Democracy" released late last year.
He and his musical collaborator Melissa Reese worked up a hip hop/club version of the song 'Shackler's
Revenge" with programmed beats and additional loops and cool sounds. They asked me to mix it. I've been
chipping away at it for a few weeks over the Christmas holidays and finally I think it is done. I'm quite happy
with how it turned out, it is pretty wacky though! (later, sometime in February) Brain called to say that Axl
Rose finally heard the remix and really likes it. Yay!.. (Sean Beresford Sunday,January, 2009)

The remix actually was posted on Sean's profile page for a short time before being removed.

If that interview with Sean was in January 2009 and Brain called him in February then it follows that Brain
and Mellisa Reese made the remix in December 2007. Which proves that at least this remix actually predated Chinese Democracy's release

Yeah even if the discs were not labeled you can tell that this disk is Bucket/Brain/Scaturro and this other disk is Stinson/Fink.

The only one that sounded like it could be hard to place main songwriter wise was Rebel, I remember Axl saying they tried to write songs in the "Old style" but that they didn't really work. Well Rebel has to be one of them, can see what they were going for but it sounds way to formulaic. RTB produced that one, there's a guy who must have some stories to tell

Hopefully they will soon

At Glastonbury it makes sense to play a mainstream set & leave the deep cuts out. The level of exposure from Glasto is pretty immense compared to other festivals, it's something that bleeds into mainstream culture in the UK in a way something like Download does not.

Smartest thing is play a set with all the hits, then when TV exposure ect leads to increased streams (which it will in the following days) THEN that's when they should release new stuff.

In a contract between GN'R and Graspop GN'R is the dominant player, I mean they can say "No we don't want to be on live streaming thanks" & if the other party doesn't like that then it's frankly tough tits. Graspop must have agreed to those terms.

In a contract between GN'R and Glastonbury it's the other way around, Glasto is the dominant force there, & they wouldn't be playing unless they had agreed to be proshot.

They need to nail this gig as much as possible.
