At Glastonbury it makes sense to play a mainstream set & leave the deep cuts out. The level of exposure from Glasto is pretty immense compared to other festivals, it's something that bleeds into mainstream culture in the UK in a way something like Download does not.
Smartest thing is play a set with all the hits, then when TV exposure ect leads to increased streams (which it will in the following days) THEN that's when they should release new stuff.
In a contract between GN'R and Graspop GN'R is the dominant player, I mean they can say "No we don't want to be on live streaming thanks" & if the other party doesn't like that then it's frankly tough tits. Graspop must have agreed to those terms.
In a contract between GN'R and Glastonbury it's the other way around, Glasto is the dominant force there, & they wouldn't be playing unless they had agreed to be proshot.
They need to nail this gig as much as possible.

It's quite possible when you think of how TWAT was largely extended to incorporate some bucket. And atlas of all the demos seemed like it needed something else structure wise to me to bring it to the boil. Like its a great song but it sort of didn't quite yet amount to what it might to me.
It's interesting that bumble said he played on it too I think.....which would also suggest there's a version with more guitars than what we heard from the locker.
Ron worked on it in 2008
"Atlas Shrugged, I was going to tell a little story about that song. Right now on my laptop, I actually have
the old guitar solo that I played for that song, when, two days before the album was going to be mastered, I
was like, let's see if we can squeeze it on to the album. I busted out some guitar tracks for it, I have my own
studio... (Bumblefoot, Eat More Heat, March 2013)

Shit I just listened to that with headphones on loud and got freakin goosebumps.
It’s be criminal if that song never sees the light of day (or if S & D ruin it)
I guess we can only hope that when and if it's released it leads to older versions leaking.

I have a feeling that when we finally hear it, I'm gonna have the same feeling I had when I finally heard Oklahoma....
Why the fuck wasn't this on the album?!?
And why was scraped there instead? lol
My answer....
Chinese Democracy had been reduced to a leaks album...but they needed a few bonus tracks to fill out the album...so we got Scraped, Sorry, and This I Love.
I'd like to see the tracklist in an alternate timeline....Ron wanted Atlas Shrugged on the album, Finck had to lobby hard for This I Love...so either other songs were in contention or it was going to be a leaks album straight up.
Speaking of alternate track lists....I've always wanted to see the 2002 track list when he said it was all ready to go.
I have a feeling it doesn't match up with what we got.
I love Fink but ill never get him pushing for TIL. It was for sure an album filled with songs that leaked, I gues Skwerl has to take some blame there. I wanted Atlas on too, some people find it boring but I think it's great.
If you want a track list in a different timeline then Zodiac has to come into play. It was explained to me years ago that there is connective tissue between each record (at least in Axl's mind back then) In the AFD liner notes you see the lyrics to YCBM, it connected it to UYI. Then if you look at the album before Chinese you see the Zodiac cypher saying FUCK EM ALL, not surprised he wanted a song on there called Zodiac, there's a book on the subject by Robert Greysmith who he is apparently a fan of.

The video mentioned AI stem splitters to isolate different instruments.
Which programs do you recommend? Do you get better results using a CD vs. an MP3 or are they pretty much the same in terms of final product?
It has been 20 years but I wonder if this Blaster guy is still around and has those three songs.
Thank man, I use https://www.lalal.ai/ It does cost money but it's been pretty good for the locker leaks. I have decent sounding accapella's/ instrumentals, drum tracks from all the locker leaks. A few pages back i posted the Perhaps accapella. Use WAV or FLAC files if you can
In terms of splitting the cell clip obviously it doesnt work as well and it's impossible to get rid of all the crowd chatter without damaging the audio you want to keep.
May i suggest trying ULTIMATE VOCAL REMOVER? it does fairly well with ripping vocals from any song that i want to convert to Aixl vocals. im sure someone with some technical mixing knowhow could maybe clean up the background noise from the cellphone clip more, if it works better than lalal.ai
Ill check it out when i get chance

Nice work mate!
I think that The General is a song about 7 minutes or something like that, but there are not too much vocals recorded, I think It is principally a lot of instrumental, that also makes sense on why It's in the setlist.
Thanks man, I don't doubt that there are words that are wrong, but pretty sure at least a few of them are right.
