I hope this happens. Love to hear some more 2001 music.

I'm talking about this version:
You can see the comparison there - it's an entirely different vocal take - and one with a much more classic Axl Rasp sound than the released version.
I'm after the full version of that - not just the clip.

Agreed. Season 1 was great, Season 2 was great too, but I felt they rushed the situation, Underwood becoming Prez. Season 3 sorta dragged a bit for me, and while Robin Wright was great at her part, I felt her inclusion into her political position was a bit too forced. I liked her better as the charity head and Underwood as a Congressmen. I finally finished it but didn't bother with Season 4 or 5, a friend told me what happens (new President) and I laughed, can't imagine how the storyline went but I'm glad I didn't bother.

What do you guys want?
Personally I want the full version of the "This I Love" Remix where Axl uses rasp vocals against a synth style backing track. Not the 8 second clip but the whole song.
Wouldn't argue with a high quality version of the bumble-era version of silkworms either - also the full song...
Do you have these?

For me if i want to see something new then play something new, if you're going to play YCBM then play it how it goes. hahahah.
I thought the 2001 band came alive on the (then) new songs - would have liked them to play more of the album in that era.

This is what I was talking about with Pitman....
Have a listen to that stuff he plays over the intro...it drowns out the entire guitars...it just doesn't work to my taste...would be cool as its own thing in a different song...
#917 Re: Guns N' Roses » LEAKS THREAD » 444 weeks ago
That's interesting...I never got into Foo Fighters so can't really comment...although it's not really a big guitar solo band is it.

Using the 2001 line up I would have gone with:
Old GNR songs: All leads by Buckethead, Robin on Rhythm. No pitman on these.
New GNR songs: Robin and Bucket can alternate leads as per the album. Pitman ok on this stuff.
The weird bit is Axl made this new industrial band then only used it to play the old songs weirdly. Listen to what pitman does on YCBM in 2001 at rio - it destroys the whole song.
It would have made more sense to either move forward for real industrially, or if going to play classic GNR as a new line up - hire people who play blues guitar and are also guitar masters like Slash....eg Doug Aldrich like i was saying. It's just so wierd the way it went down.

Personally I thought his guitar chops improved between 2002-2006 as well...but maybe I was just a little more used to his interpretations of the songs.
Matt was right when he thought Robin would make a good rhythm player.
He as ok on the 3 new songs they played, but he just didn't have the skills to be the lead guitarist in a guitar heavy band like GNR on the old material, and replacing an inspirational guitar-hero to many players like Slash.
If they'd replaced Slash with someone more like Doug Aldrich with the chops, stuck to 2 guitars, and maybe toned down pitman's synth so that you could still hear the guitars a little, then I think the new band would have gone over a lot better.
#920 Re: Guns N' Roses » The worst recordings » 444 weeks ago
I have never understood why people don't like the Rhiad vocals....sing it in the shower...it's kinda awesome...really hard to sing that high so much for me...hahah....In seriousness I like that song though - never get why most people hate it.
But yeah GNR is one of those bands where I like every song on every record. Pretty much the only band like that really for me.
Of course there's things i'd improve - like the studio KOHD could be more like the 1992 live version, the LALD screams could be more like 2002, I'd put a 2006 opening "Do you know where the fuck you are" on Jungle....and I'd drop the drum machines from the CD tracks and use only real drums....
