don't forget Brain - he and Bucket were a good team.
Yeah, I like Brain through his work with Bucket, but theoretically I would probably prefer Josh or someone like him.
It would depend on the musical direction they would've taken after CD / CD2, I suppose.

Ok, you can forget Pitman.
I know everyone hates him but I really like his solo work and the ambient/synth on Chinese.

Freese is better on the industiral type songs, where as brain is better for the ballad type stuff

Live and Let Die. Album version is sterile. Has no feeling...has no balls.
You're so right on this. Live, it's killer. But the album version is just empty.

Same can be said for KOHD album version too, that song was always better live from 86-93. It did get a little bloated near the end espeically now with the awful 12 minute version with 88 solos in the middle.

the only good KOHD the Nu GNR did was the stripped down BH solo version. Once BH left KOHD went to shit for NU gnr and even the semi reunion gnr.

It depends of what you mean, but in terms of production it's the CD tracks which stick out like a sore thumb. You can blatantly tell how old some of the songs are and that the process of recording spanned over multiple years - derived from studio to studio.
I have always divided the songs in categories as to how good/bad I believe they are when it comes to this.
Tier 1:
Chinese Democracy
Street of Dreams
Tier 2:
Better
If the World
Madagascar
Riad N' The Bedouins
Shackler's Revenge
Sorry
This I Love
Prostitute
Tier 3:
Catcher in the Rye
There Was a Time
Tier 4:
I.R.S.
Scraped (if only for that dreadful cut and paste job)

Did you even listen to the guitar only stem of scraped. Its even worse hearing where everything was cut and pasted.

Same goes for the vocal only track

the intro is OK, but it should never be a part of the actual track, it should always have been a separate track. now it's ridiculous to play the song and wait for 1 minute until it actually starts.
yeah I had to set my itunes to make the song start at 0:59. I think the intro is cool - but you only want that build up when listening to the album in full not as part of a playlist or something.

1:11 is the best place to start, you don't even need the intro tease either, that is only cool for when its live. But for a song its dumb IMO

For what song, I would go with Sorry. Sorry has amazing music and the chorus is awesome, but the lyrics are so juvinile they pretty much ruin the song.

I love Going Down. Would have been cool on an album. Maybe Duff could sing it?

Its a good song its just not a good GNR song if that makes sense.

Baz also talked about The General, but that song never made it to CD. And Checkmate wasnt on the tracklist either.
Nobody - at least in public - mentioned Going Down before it showed up as a setlist option in 2011.
Guess we ended up with the majority of the CD already spoiled because those were the songs being worked on and more "out there", bouncing between the band, TB, engineers and execs.
I am going to guess that going down was an outtake from one of Tommys solo albums that just so happened to have Axl doing backing vocals.
It sounds like something that would have fit perfectly on VGH.
Nah, Bucket originally did the guitar work and i dont see him on a Tommy album. Tommy mentioned a long time ago he had written a bunch of stuff for GN'R and there was debate on whether he did the vocals for any of them or not.

Oh good to know, the song never would have fit on a GNR album, it doesnt fit GNRs style, CD or classic gnr for that matter.

yes, totally forgot about Baz talking about Sorry. now - was he talking about it, because it was going to be included in the tracklist (that's the case I think), or was it included in the tracklist, because he was talking about it? classic chicken-egg thing, LOL.
and yes, about the titles, we might probably never know. that era is 20 years ago, and probably even Axl doesn't care anymore.

Unfortunately i have none. Years ago i was talking to someone who absolutely 100% had jackie chan. they also claimed to have a brian may atlas shrugged and an early version of prostitute, all sourced from the same tape as irs, twat and catcher. Was he telling the truth? who knows. I'm inclined to believe them though.
Prostitute from that era should be interesting. Wonder if the piano was more proeminent and if it was Robin on both solo spots.

I verified that it was an old-GNR session song in 2007 and someone else told me that post-CD release.
Not that it really matters besides our navel gazing.
Cmon, its fun to talk about it. Did you mean the band rehearsed the song back in 2007 or that it got some studio work?

The first two are the same 1999 demo. The second is the 2006 leak (probably from 2004 sessions/mix).

yeah the only difference between the first and second is the 2nd video is just the cleaned up version. Like how CITR has the orginal hissy leak and the one that someone IMSORRY maybe cleaned it up and took out the hissing and all the pops

I think technically first Sorry thing was from HTGTH poster demolition posting the lyrics. And then we connected the dots later.
I remember that, it's hilarious in hindsight. He/she was hounded off the site and either got banned or deleted the account.
One of the great mysteries of the GN'R forum world.

Well of course they got banned because team Brazil knew the lyrics were real and didn't want the song leaking so the person got banned before they could share it
