Pretty Tied Up for Izzy’s return.

It makes sense the leaker of CD II is called Rick.

I still feel like this is some elaborate trolling of me. Tracks line Quick Song and Zodiac actually exist? CD II is coming soon.

#404 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rough Mixes Disc 2 » 299 weeks ago

I thought Tonto was a Fortus solo song or something?

Pablo Mora if possible. Divide the plazas.

Anyone else intrigued as to whether or not Paul Huges’ fingerprints are going to be all over this ?

Depends if these leaks are some of the tracks on the album. I expect Fortus to have some credits.

It's strange seeing early90s! Fortus doing jangly indie stuff while dressed like an extra in Friends and thinking "yeah, no way that guy would've been bought in to replace Izzy." Look at him now!

Fortus played on All About the Benjamins for Puff Daddy. He’s done a lot of rap session work. So I think that flexibility could be a strength. I mean Slash should cover Benjamins. Fortus also looks like Ron Wood and played in Thin Lizzie. As a studio asset and Izzy body double it’s hard to find a better fit.

#407 Re: Guns N' Roses » When will we hear more vault material? » 299 weeks ago

I feel like these leaks came because people think they are about to lose value. Maybe because Slash and Axl have new material or this stuff is coming out. It could be meant to clear the decks so they move on to their final rock destination.

They wanted hard rock, Axl doing nu metal was heresy.

Rhiad is the very antithesis of nu metal. All of Chinese Democracy is. The Blues is about as Classic as you get. Nu metal bands play down tuned guitars and no solos. I never understood that comparison.

Yeah nu metal is too specific. But that is what people were saying. Riad is more RATM maybe, but it does have a cyclical riff of a Korn song but it’s more compressed like Holy Bible era Manics - then Immigrant Song was the stronger vibe overall, I never pinned Riad that well.

Chi dem was more like RATM or MM playing Nirvana. But people used nu metal to cover all alt rock styles. It’s more what CD wasn’t than what it was so people would say it sucks it’s just nu metal. Nu metal was used as a negative pejorative But if CD is one thing it’s not one thing. Each song has about 5-6 things going on. The Sgt Peppers of Alt Rock.

Shackler’s might be the most nu metal, Korn Zombie but it also reminds me of YCBM and I got this Muse thing from some of the guitar. It’s all so blended to say that’s just numetal. That’s something the recent leaks don’t have as much, they are mostly in one style per track.

They wanted hard rock, Axl doing nu metal was heresy. For some. I rationalized it as not being the songs, but the sound that people didn’t like. GNR were the last bastion of hard rock or classic rock, some hated alt bands and nu metal then Axl made an album with Alt rock guitarists. There’s about 17 sub genres of new Guns haters.

Chi dem isn’t great here and Twat is a little off. The looseness worked on Riad, The Blues maybe Catcher and Atlas and Perhaps are fine. I think a lot has to do with changing production values, in 2000 all these would sound about right, they are rough mixes after all. I’m not voting the song, i’m Voting on the version.
