I think they just got the info from the credits in the Aien cover on Spotify and youtube, which lists all 7 members of the 1999 lineup as writers (Axl, Tobias, Dizzy, Finck, Stinson, Freese, Pitman). I don't think Aien knew more than we do.

I searched for it on BMI/ASCAP, but I couldn't find it listed yet. I did find Absurd, which shows the writing credits as Hudson/McKagan/Reed/Rose, completely cutting out Pitman.

I was looking for Absurd and stumbled across this on both YouTube and Spotify

A MyGNRForum user named "Aien" has recorded his own versions of several of the songs on the storage locker leak and other Chinese Democracy tracks. The interesting part is that the songs appear to have proper writing credits, although some have been renamed.

1. Warmth Before The Cold (aka Circus Maximus) - W. Axl Rose
2. Hard School - Chris Pitman · Dizzy Reed · Paul Tobias · Josh Freese · Robin Finck · Tommy Stinson · W. Axl Rose
3. Quick Silver (aka Quicksong) - Robin Finck · Brian Carroll · W. Axl Rose
4. Going Down - Tommy Stinson
5. Recurring Puncture (aka Dub Suplex) - Brian Carroll
6. State of Grace - W. Axl Rose · Robin Finck
7. How One Remains (aka As It Began) - W. Axl Rose
8. Assuage the Pain / Take It Back / An Act Most Devious (aka D Tune / Zodiac / Me & My Elvis / Devious Bastard / Realdoll.com) - Brian Carroll · Robin Finck
9. IRS
10. Atlas Shrugged - Chris Pitman · Dizzy Reed · Paul Tobias · Josh Freese · Robin Finck · Tommy Stinson · W. Axl Rose
11. Perhaps - W. Axl Rose · Paul Tobias · Robin Finck

Just curious what everyone thinks - might these credits be legit?

Yes, I think releasing a new song every 4-6 weeks is a good way to go. They don't even have to release the album. Release 12 songs over however many months...and then the fans can put it all together as an album/collection.

That seems to be the trend among a lot of bands these days. Drop a single on Spotify/YouTube once a month or so, and after about five or six of them, then drop the rest of the album. And it makes sense the way consumers have such short attention spans these days.

Anyone remember the details on how those songs surfaced or exactly when?

I remember I got these on a bootleg tape around 1990, so they were out in tape trading circles prior to Use Your Illusion. I was disappointed that more of the tracks weren't on the final album.

Out of curiosity, how many posters that think this is a big deal are teenagers or in their 20s?  I refuse to believe posters who went through the CD era are this gullible.

I went through the CD era and this time I actually believe.

I want to believe. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

Any other band, yes, I'd fully expect them to drop a new single, and kick off promotion for the new album. But this is GNR we're talking about. Axl will get cold feet, drop the single from the set list, go back in the studio and re-re-re-re-record twenty year old songs again. Which will leak some time in 2040.

#6 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rare tapes on eBay » 225 weeks ago

Very interesting finds. I wish I had the kind of cash to blow on this stuff, and then just share them with the real fans. Fuck the hoarders.

The track list on the betamax looks like it's just AFD. Even the times listed are only a few seconds different that the album, and looking at the date on the tape, it's a few months before Appetite was released. Since it's from Sterling Sound Digital (who does mastering) and says "EQ'd for Analog Disk" I wonder if it's audio-only? I did a little Googling, and it does indeed seem that there were some mid-80s professional digital systems that used Betamax tapes. So even if you have an old betamax player that still functions, I doubt it the tape would be playable. And even if you had a digital betamax system, it's probably just AFD anyway. Still, would be cool from from a collector's point of view, if you had the cash to spare.

HasItLeaked has Guns N' Roses in the studio.

You know, with any other band, the fact that they're in the studio recording a new album might get my hopes up that they were planning on releasing a new album. But you know what they say, fool me once...

There's clearly tonnes more not accounted for.

Seeing as how the leaked CDRs were labeled "J587 85 (Robin/Tommy Demos)" and so forth through "J587 278 (The Rebel)" I would have to assume that there are quite literally hundreds of discs from these sessions. Granted, most are probably just dozens of slightly different alternate mixes of songs we've already heard, but I'd wager there are tons of jams and instrumentals in various stages of completion.

Also fascinating is that the Rough Mixes CD #1 - #4 reference DAT #2, DAT #5, B. Head CD #2, etc. It's like these were the greatest hits from dozens of different sources. Like what else would have been on those Buckethead CDs that he submitted? I wonder if it was anything else that he's already released, or they were specifically created for submission to Axl?

Okay so thoughts:

I'm SORRY

I like the album version despite the cheesy lyrics, however this instrumentally is just so much heavier. It's pretty strong.

I like the instrumental with the heavier guitar better as a Buckethead song, but I think the album version works better as a GNR track.

#10 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 3, Final Round » 227 weeks ago

I had to vote against Oklahoma because we've waited so long to hear the full Hardschool after years of being cock-teased by the Checkmate snippet, and the song we got was definitely worth the wait. But Oklahoma is still pretty damn good, and maybe I'd feel differently if I could hear the final version with vocals.
