Brian May talked about Axl being emotionally attached to Robin’s guitar work so it makes sense he left that part in. He’s definitely not doing it for any other reason than he wanted it in there
I agree. The solo and off time lyrics in Absurd are not mistake's they are choices. I get people thinking they are bad choices but a song doesn't get to the point of release without those things being caught by producers or engineers if they are mistakes. Even in a band that seems chaotic like GN'R.

Ok so I folded and gave it one listen.
I like it, still hard to judge for sure untill Iv'e hear the HQ version. Sounds like at least some new vocals & drums sound different too.

After 15 listens the other people there must have been ready to kill you lol. How did the production sound? was it an improvement over the last two?
I got there about an hour before closing. After the song played the second time in a row, people started looking around and looking annoyed. So I went outside to the patio, which was completely empty and quiet, and had a better quality speaker than the speakers inside. So I hit outside in the dark sitting under the speaker for the next 13 listens. I could see through the window that people were getting pissed, but nobody could see me.
Production sounded great. I could never listen to the demo again. The finished version is so much better and I really liked Slash's solo.
This does seem like something that could only happen with a GN'R release. Like I say i'll wait for the HQ version to listen, but if this was The General I would be looking into how to crack into the jukebox archives lol.

I'll wait to listen to the proper version

I am officially done with GNR Reddit. It's unreadable at this point. Another "insider" troll started a thread with fake Atlas artwork today, claiming the single was supposed to be out this week. I don't give a shit about the trolls, I give a shit about dozens of comments seriously questioning if it's legit and upvoting said comments. This is why the forums are still way better despite their decrease in users. The trolls know better than to bring that shit here or they'd get exposed in 2 seconds.
Frustrating isn't it

Really, why do you think that? Circus Maximus is basically a kind of abstract instrumental. Those two songs are completely structured. Didn’t he also say Seven was the best of the bunch?
Listen to Brain at 1 min in
He says Seven was a jam based off of Ben Hurr. There is admittedly no Ben Hurr sample in Circus Maximus but the place Circus Maximus is where the chariot race was shot in Ben Hurr. It's a weak link I admit but i wouldn't be surprised if the locker leaks version is a jam that got turned into Seven
Who knows

Saw someone say Dummy was Cuban Skies, was this just a guess?
The funny thing about those Bucket demos was how different Shacklers ended up, which sounds like a hybrid of other demos (Prom Violence) but Sorry is pretty much the same as the demo
I believe someone from Mygnr sent Dummy to the guy at stevehoffmanforum who claimed to have been played Cuban Skies and he said they were different. If I remember right that guy claimed it had flamenco style guitar in it.
I don't think Curly Shuffle is Seven I think Circus Maximus is. We know Beltrami worked on Seven and actually wrote a guitar part for it and I dont think Curly Shuffle lends itself to an orchestration
But who knows for sure

The “Remarks” section says 10:00 - 45:00, but the box also says it is Take 1.
Does that imply a 35-second or 35-minute version?! Or does it reference a measure of tape length?
P.S. Even the person who hand-wrote the notes knew to write Guns “N’” Roses unlike whoever in Team Brazil approved that stupid “Guns And Roses” keychain …
I'm not too sure. I saw this yesterday and meant to post it but didn't get chance, it does show that the song was around in 99 where as the locker leak version is 2000. Given that one was instrumental I doubt that this one has vocals. Most interesting part that stands out to me is "Tape 900" also while names like Critter are known I ain't heard of Jer Blair before. May of 99 means that it was recorded a year and a half into to the CD sessions which started January 98. So this song is at least almost as old as Oklahoma and Ides Of March.
We seriously need someone who works for universal to hook up a private tour of that room lol
(edited with new info) Jer Blair is in fact J.J Blair who was an engineer and producer and was working at rumbo at the time. He has worked with Rod Stewart & The Who & Johnny Cash
