Re: The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 3, Round 1
Vote for your least favorite track. The 2 tracks with the most votes will be eliminated.
As far as the instrumentals go, try to imagine the track finished with vocals.
This is based on Rough Mixes Disc 3 only, not any other demo. There will be no tie breaker, unless there's a mass 7 way tie or something equally absurd.
Voting closes in 3 days. 19:00 GMT.
Re: The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 3, Round 1
This should be innerestin’
Kind of agree about Billionaire but I’ll listen through everything.
Must have been strange for rec execs to get this disc. First two tracks they are shitting themselves. 14 mil and this is the new GNR album? Totally Ferrari friendly though.
Re: The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 3, Round 1
I don’t wanna unfairly judge Billionaire considering it became The General... So obviously they worked on it and made something completely different out of it. The way it sounds here is not very convincing though I agree.
I’ve heard so many The General descriptions from intro to high screaming vocals. Honestly I like all the tracks here. Dub duplex has more to it than Billionaire here. Based on what Fortus said Axl might take parts from here and there and combine them. To me Dummy has the most potential. Those Radiohead tracks are another string to the bow. The leaks have everything you need for the next GNR album. Hopefully it wasn’t Scraped for a hard rock do over. But that might work too. I dream of a trailer parked outside the Safari Inn in Burbank. An RV and a slogan t shirt, tinted glasses and gin and tonic in the morning.
Re: The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 3, Round 1
I think going for 2 tracks eliminated at once may have been a mistake, but it's done.
My thoughts:
Billionare - Voted it off, it's just a loop. I'm not sure about it being used for The General, but it's just a loop here. Any judgement would be harsh.
Dub Suplex - Very cool Buckethead track. However I think it's pretty unlikely this ever got vocals.
State of Grace - This was a grower. Like mixing Into the Void with Sorry to my ears. Very cool album deepcut, but not single material.
Oklahoma/Berlin - Kick ass rocker. One of the highlights and one of we'd been talking about for years. I want to hear the finished version (which we know there is) even more now. A List.
Devious Bastard - Another very cool rocker like State of Grace. However it has a question mark next to it. Did it ever get finished? Deepcut material.
I.R.S. - Not much else to say about it. It's great and in an alternative history a decent single.
Hardschool - The more I listened, the more I like. This one verges (not deff though) on single material in that alternative reality too. It wasn 't quite the track I expected when hearing Checkmate years ago, but this is still great. It's surreal if Slash and co re did it 20 years later.
Dummy - I like it. It's something different, but it is very hard to judge without vocals. Yet another, did they ever finish this question mark?
