This.
Give the musicians their chance to shine after decades of waiting.
Prove the critics wrong.
Give the fans what we have been begging for. The market research has been done: We will pay dearly and happily for a thorough Chinese Democracy box set.
Don’t worry about packaging and perks. It could even be a lossless FLAC or AIFF release, without any manufacturing costs. Just get us the music.
$1,000 for 20 or more CDs worth of outtakes, demos, rough mixes, etc.? Take my money.
Re: Atlas Shrugged (2023 ) - Rumour
I always thought Atlas was one of the radio friendly tracks off of the entire CD album (including leaks). No surprise there. I'm betting they go with the deep cut as the b side.
They still have a few more songs after that that they could release. At some point, we are going to get an album of this stuff. There's just too much that's either been finished or close to it anyway. Whether or not it's a box set or just an album (or two ) is anyone's guess.
Now, I'm skeptical about whether or not they could record a new album from scratch. It's totally different with doing that vs Slash/Duff adding their touches to the CD songs.
Uh, I'd point out too, that the Village sessions are still out there and easily found. I remember someone here said that their HD crashed and those songs went with it too.
Also it'd be a shame if we didn't get to hear Brian May's stuff on Catcher (ie the stuff that made the song great and not that shit that ended up on CD).
Re: Atlas Shrugged (2023 ) - Rumour
Yes, definitely. I would actually pay more for a bare bones, digital release than an actual box set, because that would likely mean more actual songs to listen to.
Exactly. And there are hugely successful examples of digital releases being major successes in recent years from Dylan to Taylor Swift, hell, even Beyonce’s “Lemonade.”
Drop a shit-ton of digital tracks for sale. Charge whatever the fuck you want for it. Put the ChiDem era to bed once and for all, in a way that proves it was/is actually a highlight of GNR’s history.
All of us fans will finally be satisfied and ready to move on to the future. No more begging and searching for leaks. Finck, Pitman, Brain, Bucket, Bumble, and the gang will get the satisfaction of their work being heard.
This clears the deck for 2025 and beyond.

Very encouraged by how they’ve transformed Perhaps into a very good song. I see more potential with Atlas so can’t wait for this

I mean perhaps was already a good tune. And vocals were there. The Atlas vocals we heard were a mess, maybe another demo had a better vocal take or hopefully a later take with more rasp and grit.

Re: Atlas Shrugged (2023 ) - Rumour
Yeah vocals are a mess on Atlas - as they were on Perhaps and Axl seemingly has re-recorded parts of Perhaps and he’s the star of the song.
I was very underwhelmed by the Perhaps demo but maybe it’s just I’ve heard a finished mix now that I’m so impressed by its transformation - or maybe I’m just caught up in the moment that they are finally doing things like a major act should.
I’ve always thought the bones of a great song are there with Atlas so am excited
