#11 Re: Guns N' Roses » More leaks soon? » 882 weeks ago
While I understand people's viewpoints, I have to respectfully disagree. While I don't think the final "Chinese Democracy" album will cure cancer or solve world hunger, but like russtcb said..many feel that the new songs live up to the GN'R Legacy. That's very telling in and of itself.
Personally, I think that the songwriting is some of the best ever notably on "The Blues" and "Madagascar".
The point is, very avid music fans like my main man Jimmy Lofton probably won't care that much about "Chinese Democracy". But as for avid, rabid GN'R fans and the mainsteam music audience, this album is nothing short of a revelation.
It's like a movie like "WALL-E" or "The Dark Knight". They satiate the hardcore base with something of substance but also show casual fans that there's more to be had than fluffy, cotton candy, fast-food type movies.
When GN'R was out there touring in 2006, the buzz was incredible. Not just by us GN'R fans, but by the casual crowd. People had a bad taste in their mouth about 2002 Botox, Mickey Mouse Axl and then they saw videos from places like Download and Rock Am Ring and were won over.
The leaks are just demos. We need to remember that. While certainly some of the songs won't change that much, the final versions will have stronger vocals and be much more organic. Then there's songs like "Shackler's Revenge" that blew our minds.
So, the mystery is still there. And I think that mainsteam audiences will eat the album up whenever it's out.

dark, wes, and MSL got what "glory" was left. Leaking the album in full now would just bring a few thank you's. It wouldn't be legendary.
You're not one of the desperate ones.

I'm hoping that someone out for glory will do it - but how much glory is left? If you're not motivated by money, you already have Time magazine reviewing CD on 9 tracks, and Shacklers will be officially released which will take the rest of the GN'R news - leaking one song at this point will not bring the leaker much of anything unless they enjoy watching a few thousand people dissect, praise, and hate on that track.
Yeah, me too.
Whoever it is, create a handle and "_____" will become a legend in the GNR annals of time....

We need new leaks.
SR will definitely leak before the game is out, GNR would be wise to release it before then.
#15 Re: Guns N' Roses » GnR @ RIR 2008? » 904 weeks ago
All I have to say is that if the album comes out in 2008, I think I might cry. Literally. Out of pure shock and wonderment.
Or maybe I'm saying that because I've been up 2 days straight. Woooppdeewooppooopooo!

If no update by May, I'm gone for good. Hold me to it.
#17 Re: Guns N' Roses » Author Marc Canter speaks about hearing CD » 904 weeks ago
I'd sell my body for a new leak even if it is 5+ years old like the other songs, but if Marc were to divulge some juicy details, I'd be quite appeased.

True Neemo. Izzy doesn't really need to, he's kept his credibility through all this crap...maybe because he was the first to leave before the train finally wrecked.
Or it's because Izzy was a no-good lying junkie wrapped up in his world of drugs and the combination of his habit, pressure from the band, and a large, highly demanding tour schedule forced himself to either walk away or be fired so he could get happy and healthy, let alone play a show.
#19 Re: Guns N' Roses » new Baz interview..talking about Axl/GnR again » 905 weeks ago
Again, I wouldn't put any stock into what Baz says. I mean, he was going on in some interview about how stupid people are for not believing the albums coming because he's heard it and it's (ofcourse) amazing. Now he doesn't even know what songs are gonna be on the album?
I know what you mean, but in Baz's defense when he was on Eddie Trunk with Bumble and others, Bumblefoot was talking how they stayed up until late in the morning listening to the album.
Baz also talked about having Axl play him the record after he recorded "Sorry". Then there was that party in 2006 where Axl played a near finished version of the album at his party.
So, Baz has heard some stuff. Probably more than what will be on 'Chinese Democracy'. I doubt Axl showed him a tracklist and was like, "okay Sebastian, memorize this or you can't be my friend".
Not to mention that Baz was hitting the juice pretty hard during the 2006 tour. And I don't expect all the songs to be like Better and IRS where it repeats the song title over and over.
So this gives credence to what Baz says. Regardless of how valid it ends up being, it's someone talking about the album which is something no one has done in a long time. And for that I'm grateful.
Hopefully we can hear something from GNR soon.

I'm sure that Brain would rather chill until the album came out than doing a brief stint in Japan. But he is awesome and glad to hear he's on the album.
I hope that the big band turns out to be GNR and that this album will finally come out around July. *Here's hopin*
