Re: Riad
Got bored and made a remix of Riad on Audacity. Got rid of all the Ahs in the song and some other stuff

Re: Riad
Interesting. I love Riad(the demo) but always considered the "ahhh...ahh....ahhh's" to be placeholders that he never went back to. Song always felt incomplete to me even though I do think its one of the strongest tracks so far from the CD sessions.
Bucket owns this song. It was a travesty removing his solo from the album.
Re: Riad
Ya Buckets solo was a ton better. This is a song that i would like to hear done again with Slash and Duff. Maybe slow the tempo down so Axl has more time to breath. When you listen to the acapella and look at the waves on audacity you can tell how much he cut and paste the vocals.
Re: Riad
Interesting mix. Certainly rocks the song up a bit and moves it into traditional rock and away from the EDM-type stuff.
I personally still feel it's the weakest track on Chinese, and frankly hasn't aged well. Axl is STILL the weakest link on the track imo. Oh My God & Silkworms both are FAR superior songs imo.

Wow I feel really differently about that. It's the vocals that I like about the track. When I try to sing along I notice there's actually some bad ass highs and powerfully delivered lines amongst it all. It's quite hard to sing I think.
I guess i'm not the fondest of the industrial mixing and all the different instrumental sounds on this - but the vocal take really nails it to me.
I would love to hear this type of vocal on a more traditional rock song.
For example a song like VR's "Big Machine" that is fine musically but a little bland vocally, to me take something like Riad with great vocals but too progressive for me synth wise and write it over Big Machine's bass and gutar and it would be great!
Re: Riad
I tried to remove as many of the sound effects as I could and get it as basic 5 instrument song I could. I agree the vocals are what made me listen to this song over and over, the chorus just sounds...emotional?
When I looked up the lyrics I thought that Riad n The Bedouins was, Slash, Duff, and Matt. It really makes sense when you compare the lyrics to things Axl has said about them. It kind of goes along with the journey of the whole album.

True those Ahhs could have been swapped out for a nice high pitched guitar riff.
