Karma +1 That should be on the homepage when the new site is unveiled Should probably start work on that

Four discs = approx. 4 hours of music @ 1hr per disc.

Whenever Axl steps into the studio I'd wager everything will be recorded, and I assume Axl records a shit load of demos at his home too even if it's in a rough format. Even if Axl has only worked one day per year for the last 10 years there is going to be at least 100+ hours (80+ discs) of recorded shit locked up somewhere. That would be Axl working at the slowest rate possible too, 1 day out of every 365.

My guess is that the four discs are four finished versions of Chinese Democracy, each containing the occasional different track worked amongst the expected includes like CD, Better, Madagascar, The Blues and IRS. Axl can rework songs, mix up the ordering of songs and generally take this project in any musical direction he wants. Buckethead presumably sampled hundreds of hours worth of guitar fills and solos for the album alone, with any and every genre of music Axl may have wanted.

Certain people in his circle have no doubt heard plenty of this material, and they will be the ones who give Axl feedback on each version of the album.

Axl can 'cut and paste' Chinese Democracy to his hearts content but there will only be one disc labelled as Chinese Democracy. We just have to pray that Axl marries some golddigger who will shamelessly press and package hours of this material as "Special Edition" releases of the album a few days after Uncle Axl pops his clogs

Will have to get this Thanks for the news

Hopefully it won't be the last chat with a band member I did suggest to Ron that he call Axl and tell him how awesome this site was but he didn't reply to that one lol

Think it lasted for around 3 hours, probably pushing 4 hours. Started around 8pm and were still chatting away at midnight lol
