My assumption is that the dates are just mix dates and nothing should be read into them in regards of the recording dates. The May tracks were from November and I assume all vocal tracks on these discs except the guided vocals of Quick Song, existed in some form in 99.
As for Bucket, he supposedly only met Axl for the first time on Christmas 99. Therefore he can't be on them. The non Bucket mixes from March must be before August 99 (when Finck left for a while).

I still love this version of There Was A Time even without Bucket. Although obviously Bucket took it to another level at some point after this.
I was almost tempted to vote it off tbh too. I think in this form, the first verse comes across a little more self indulgent. ...But it's just great musically either way.
I voted off Atlas Shrugged, albeit with great hesitation.

I find it hard to believe that any version of this with vocals from 2002-07, isn't one of the best tracks in the back catalogue.
This one was surely meant for classic rock radio in an alternative timeline.

Speaking of which, are we sure Brian May is there, cause I can't hear him?
The dates line up. Both Atlas and Catcher mixes are listed on the same day and more importantly it sounds like a Brian May solo.
Doesn't sound like Finck to me at all and Buckethead wasn't there.

Really looking forward to it.

I'm not sure on this vote.
The Blues, Catcher in the Rye, Perhaps and Chinese Democracy are the best versions of each available. Madagascar might be too.
I really like this version of Atlas, despite not being too fond of the first leak.
That leaves Prostitute and There Was A Time. TWAT is my favourite track on the album and one of my favourites in the entire back catalogue, however this isn't the best version of the track. I can't say that about the other tracks. I actually need to think on this one.

Any update on Down by the Ocean or any of the Izzy songs Axl got?
He asked them for either 2001 or 2000.
Axl only ever confirmed that Down by the Ocean was a title of an Izzy track, he never said if the tracks ever got used. If they were, they were probably used post these rough mix sessions.
