Hi Rodger2023. Really cool stuff! I think it works a bit better for Fall To Pieces than It's Not Over, but both are very interesting takes. If you or anyone else with some AI skills would be willing to chat about the software and the process involved, please send me a PM.

Vocals are center-channel on both tracks, so they can be mostly-isolated. They are very clear on Monsters. On The General, they are about 60% clear, going into effect-mode in the "My only regret" and "Of those who" sections. I think that was intentional, and clear lyrics aren't meant to be heard. Could be wrong.

I got most things wrong with the rebuild, but am pleased with what I thought I heard of the vocal melody. Playing one on top of the other, the screaming section almost kinda sorta sounds almost sorta similar. Almost.

Glad these are out. Hopefully my anxiety level will return to normal.

I suspect he may actually still consider himself one, but may no longer capable of being one for at least this one reason... The dude has been center-stage for more combined hours of insanely loud rock concerts than the rest of us have collectively attended. How great could his hearing be at this point? What he hears and what is actually there may be two completely different things, and odds are he wouldn't even recognize it if they are.

How about adding GNR as the headliner to that, and make it like a 8 hour event, where Axl just pops in when he feels like participating? Imagine the insane setlist going from Soothsayer to Slash, to GNR, to Bumblefoot, then a little LA. Guns, then more GNR (featuring X, Y and/or Z), etc (for hours), and then capping the show with an encore featuring everybody playing together. It'd be glorious madness to see Bucket, Bumble, Finck, Slash, Tommy, Duff, Adler, Brain, etc all jamming together on one giant stage, with all grudges from the past flushed down the toilet where they belong.

Maybe they thought I got everything wrong. They wouldn't be the only one. Even my most trusted advisor thought I was losing my mind with some things I thought I heard in the clip (like Axl speaking before the screaming verse).

Anyway, the gatekeeper of the extended clip said there really wasn't much of the song that could be heard - suggesting that the rest of the file was worse than what we already have. If that's the case, I really don't know if I'd have the same patience with it as I had years ago. But if they feel like sending it to me, I'll be more than happy to evaluate it.
