Re: The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 4, Elimination Round 1

Still felt the same way after hearing them.
Nothing is garbage IMO.
Thyme is basically a song fragment and difficult to judge without hearing PRL-Thyme fleshed out more.
Soul Monster is a monster. A Buckethead epic brought to the table and obviously shot up the A list. Shocked that other than vocals, it's already finished in 2000.
Circus Maximus/Ides/Seven
Definitely big gun material. Dizzy wasn't lying.
D Tune and Curly Shuffle are the two surprises on the disc. They're verging on Soundgarden tracks.
As It Began is definitely something that got another title at some point.
Is it confirm that Seven is Circus Maximus??
Not confirmed but highly suspected with good reason. It may at the very least be the basis for what becomes Seven.
Re: The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 4, Elimination Round 1
It fits the description of Ides of March.
It does not fit the description of Seven imo.
Re: The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 4, Elimination Round 1
I only heard them a couple of times. I find it boring to listen instrumental music, even if there are good ideas there.
It's easy to forget that most GNR fans(most music fans) don't give a rat's patootie about instrumentals.
Us Bucket fans do love instrumentals and years ago we speculated that Axl was probably sitting on plenty of his stuff. It wound up being true.
As far as Axl confirming song titles, all he did was copy/paste legit song titles that were listed in the question.

This may sound terrible but in a few cases on these leaks I have preferred Not having Axls voice on them!
Me too and I'll up the ante....
If he brought terrible lyrics to songs like Oklahoma, Soul Monster, and Quick Song, I'd rather consider them complete as instrumentals as the band is on fire.
I always said Riad would work better as an instrumental and probably should've been released as one.
A further dive into the vault reinforces this.
It can't be easy for a singer, especially one so talented yet such a spotty work ethic, having to walk into a studio with finished tracks sitting there waiting for his final ingredient.
No offense to him but he may not have had it in him to complete some of them.

I think it was probably far more comfortable to twiddle the knobs every night with a cigar and a bottle of brandy rather than lay down vocal tracks. We all do it, rather than focus on what really matters we veer towards the ‘easy’ jobs. Axl needs to read ‘eat the frog’
