#21 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Media » 295 weeks ago
I wonder if part of it also has to do with the media having been down that road before and not getting anything in return. When the Chinese Democracy leaks happened back in the early/mid 2000's one might have thought the album was coming soon. There was silence except occasionally to say who wasn't in the band. More leaks and the Hammerstein shows plus more touring and there only being so many Tuesdays left in 2006 made it seem like the album for sure was coming out soon, but that didn't happen until 2008. The long delayed album finally comes out and all we hear from Axl is the forum chats which were months after the album was released. Supposedly Axl turned down a Rolling Stone and Kurt Loder interview, and I thought he'd at least do an interview with Kurt Loder since he's usually been fair with him including with the new lineup. About the only promotion Chinese Democracy had was the Dr Pepper thing and that didn't turn out too well.
I'm a GNR fan, but when the band itself doesn't seem to show much interest in their "new" material I can't say I blame the media for feeling the same way.

Besides wanting to know who that woman is in faldor's avatar for research purposes, I wanted to say I didn't hate this performance. I get the feeling they probably didn't rehearse it too much, at least not everyone together. I'm only guessing because they stick pretty close to each other and look a little nervous. So maybe they just need to practice it more and get on the same page. I'm glad they decided to dust it off and hope they do so with other older songs too.

We need him to do music for a Halloween movie. Part 6's theatrical version had a guitar version of the theme in it, there's no reason why they couldn't put some Bucket in at least one of the two other Halloween movies Blumhouse is going to make. Also, Bucket's version is better than that one Trent Reznor did.

Gonna go with Nothing.

Early this morning I was listening to the Axl interview with Eddie Trunk in 2006 before the Hammerstein shows and he mentioned having two albums done and half of a third. He also said that evening of the interview during rehearsal they were working on something for the third album. All of this back in 2006!
James, if you do put a Buckethead playlist together for the instrumentals please post it. I've been on a Bucket binge for weeks.

Ideally with Oh My God coming out in 1999 that is the beginning of the 2000 Intentions promotion. The album comes out in 2000 and I'd probably put the track on there. I remember when Axl was posting online someone said Oh My God sounded like a demo and he responded that it was and it was only included on the End Of Days soundtrack because they begged him for it. I call bullshit on that. I find it very hard to believe that they can beg him for an alleged demo for a movie soundtrack and he relents, but it took so long for Chinese Democracy to come out despite being in a near finished or completely finished state years before finally being released. If Axl wants a reworked version of Oh My God then fine, we could put that on 2000 Intentions I guess.
I think Oh My God also needs to be on there because then Silkworms wouldn't be the only industrialish sounding track. I would leave Silkworms on there too. It's different but I think it makes a good album closer.
IRS would be a solid choice to throw on there to make it a 12 track album. Good song which I'd have be track 2.
Track 1 for me would be Chinese Democracy without the excessive speaking intro. Just start it off with guitar right away.
Second to last track for me should be Prostitute. I thought that was a good way to end Chinese Democracy, but we need something to come before Silkworms.

Going with Thyme as well.

I like them both, but Atlas is my favorite of the two. Voted for Perhaps.

I've heard a few people say Eye On You could be a James Bond theme song. If they got rid of the Mack Daddy stuff and added some more orchestral sound to it I think it could. It would have actually worked well for Spectre and I could imagine a nice silhouetted Bond with his Walther PPK in the title sequence.
