Chicken Dinner was Shackler's. I believe Chinese Democracy did come out before Prostitute, which was unnamed at the time. IRS wasa the first song to leak as far as I know. I became aware of it around 2005 or so.

Sorry I meant Chicken Dinner when I used CD there. I knew it'd be confused but I was too lazy to type chicken dinner again. In hindsight it's cost me a lot more precious time...

I do rem the debate about MSG 4 U/Prostitute & be dumbfounded people couldn't hear the Axl singing the word 'Prostitute'...

Homer: "if if's & but's were candy & nuts..." eh, how does the rest of that go??

#2245 Re: Guns N' Roses » Cataloging the CD leaks » 752 weeks ago

Chicken Dinner was maybe Shacklers?

MSL should kno all this tongue

Did CD come before Message for You/Prostitute?
These were p late in the day..


I do have a cd-r sorted in chronological order but it's buried in a trunk in my parents house & I haven't retained the info. So.... sorry for you! I'm no real help here but yea fun/stoopid times.

I loved CD on those early days. Was bummed when he dropped the line 'if your ass were your head you could tell'
It had some kinda humour the later versions lost, became a little too po-faced.

Silkworms was a real wtf? Ugh gross moment.

my point was people are giving Axl shit for touring and not making a record. Well, other classic artists feel the same way and are pissed at the record industry for creating this mess.

well hold on a second - there are plenty of artists who don't feel that way, who are trying their best to make the best & most successful album they can.
look @ our very own Bono & his beloved U2. they're slaving away trying to do just that very thing. they want to be the biggest band in the world still, & make new music that connects w/people.

why should he follow the trend of old farts like Pete Townshend or Rush, whos fanbase are mostly all on their way out & not interested in the energy of rock n roll.
GnR's fanbase is still alive & kicking.

tbh i'd be surprised if AFD in this yr alone doesn't outsell the entire catalogue of Townshend solo & The Who & Rush combined, & that's just one yr.
that's the standards GnR & Axl's ambition should be aiming for. not selling as much as Empty Glass.

i think your comparison is flawed.
albums can still take off & be enormously successful - look @ adele.
the question is whether they have the energy & ambition to pursue a great & successful album.


& of course, GnR is a special case given the relationship w/the label & management. another reason why comparisons don't stand up.

They only have 2 albums.

You need them. Now.

One of the greatest British/English rock bands.

You haven't heard a rock anthem til you've heard I Wanna Be Adored, Fools Gold or I Am the Resurrection. Or Waterfall/She Bangs the Drums for that matter, pop perfection.

Saw Ian Brown a few yrs ago & he played a few Roses tunes & it was INSANE so these shows are gonna be off the charts. There is nothing but LOVE for this music & when you experience it you'll know.
Songs to live for.
John Squire was primed to be the next great English guitar hero, & he was for a while. While Mani of course went on to create a catalogue of magic in Primal Scream.

Hey wait, I got another new set list complaint!

Axl has never embraced the idea of 'less is more'. What I mean is, these endurance test sets are good but I think they could make as great an impact w/a shorter more compact set (which could also increase variety).
Just food for thought is all. Streamline it & the power'll still be pronounced & the weaker moments removed.
But that's nvr been part of his philosophy...
