I've been listening to the locker leaks and that song I've gained a better appreciation for. I just love the "soundscape" aspect of it. It's a deep cut and not really accesible to casuals.
I adore the "weeee-oooo" synths in the second verse. Not sure what you'd call them, properly.

Yeah, I'd love to hear it. Even if it's just an instrumental, you could layer the vocals from… was it Rock Band or Guitar Hero? I'm sure there was an isolated vocal track for Jungle.
Better off using live vocals. Here is a clip of jungle with 2007 vocals on i just did https://www.sendspace.com/file/661ho2
It takes some work to timestretch parts to get it to work so the whole track would take a while, sounds ok to me though
That's neat. Could you chuck over the full audio of the instrumental?

I have reason to doubt the band will follow through and stick to plans.
Why? I mean, what reason have they given you to doubt them? They've just released Perhaps with a major promo push including a video.
#76 Re: Guns N' Roses » The next GNR album: Current known state of songs » 96 weeks ago
So do I…..they didn’t need a 3rd guitarist once Bucket joined Bucket lead and Robin rhythm and lead on a few songs
I'm not sure Robin would've worked as a rhythm player – plus he was explicitly brought on board as a lead guitarist, so a "demotion" to rhythm would've stung his ego.
Axl should've committed to two guitarists in 2000: a rhythm player and a lead. Either Huge/Finck or Huge/Buckethead, or Fortus/Finck or Fortus/Buckethead. And had whoever ended up taking the lead role re-record the extant guitar parts. No fucking about "honoring the material recorded by previous contributors," just make sure that whoever is up on stage is the person playing the relevant bit on the album.
With two lead guitarists you immediately create the impression that "no one individual can replace Slash," on top of which you end up with one of them standing around with nothing to do for half the songs (seriously, watch Think About You from 2002, you've got Buckethead playing chords ffs).
My own preference would be for a Fortus/Buckethead combo. As much as I love Finck, he's very much an acquired taste, plus the version of the album recorded with Finck doesn't have those extra flourishes that Buckethead adds. Basically: Buckethead is more than capable of playing the Finck solo in TWAT, but I suspect that the Buckethead solo would sound very different in Finck's hands. Plus Buckethead is an iconic figure; instantly recognisable in silhouette, the same as Slash. It's telling that all the interest in the band in 2001-02 zeroed in on Buckethead, and even years later he was the figure most associated with Chinese Democracy-era GN'R.

I was listening to Melissa’s cover of Sorry and she really needs to be utilized more
Her take on Sorry made me appreciate Axl's songwriting more.
Like you can see how he could write pop songs like that rather than just rock.
Reminds me of when Cornell did that scream album with timberland.
Wait, there's a Melissa cover of Sorry?
#78 Re: Guns N' Roses » The next GNR album: Current known state of songs » 96 weeks ago
It seems 10 or 12 songs is the bare minimum of tracks for an album these days, so to hit that threshold the band would need as little as one, two, or three more songs.
They could easily pad it out with covers, of course. Wichita Lineman, The Seeker, etc. Maybe get Duff to give the band a new solo track, whack a Slash solo on it and call it a GN'R song.
#79 Re: Guns N' Roses » Perhaps (2023) to Drop » 96 weeks ago
Song is a grower and catchy as hell. I think the biggest hurdle to this being a mainstream hit is that it’s almost impossible to make out what Axl is saying in the chorus - people like to sing along to big hits in the car and that chorus I just can’t see that happening.
People sing along to Eminem's "Rap God," I don't think this is beyond them.
#80 Re: Guns N' Roses » Perhaps (2023) to Drop » 96 weeks ago
you have Izzy singing "Y'could be mine" while Axl's singing "Youcould be mi-e-ine."
One of the best parts of that song.
It still annoys me that Duff doesn't sing the backing vocals in the outro the way Izzy recorded them on the original studio version.
