Re: Best song so far?
I agree completely. CD was a leaks album + bonuses to fill the disc and was nothing like what it was supposed to be.
By 2002 he claimed it was 18 tracks and 10 B sides. Pretty ambitious and I laughed at this claim years ago but I'm no longer laughing.
He clearly had the material to work with. Fan speculation of a Chinese Al Capone's vault is embarrassing in hindsight.
Re: Best song so far?
One more thing with 20 years of hindsight...
It's shocking that none of these sessions leaked in 2000-04. I don't mean into hoarders hands...they already had them ..I mean the general public.
Audioslave's songs leaked a year or so before they released it and at that point, CD was highly anticipated. Other artists and bands material was hitting torrents back then.
Instead of complaining about leaks in 2006, should've thanked their lucky stars that the whole shit and shaboodle didn't surface years earlier.
Re: Best song so far?
He said he always was it as a double album. In hindsight, he should've just released it all on one disk.
18 songs + 10 B sides is an incredible double album.
It would've been GNR's Tusk. An ambitious smorgasbord of deep cuts with a couple moderate hits.
These leaks totally rejuvenated me as a fan
Me too. My interest is back to that late 90s-early 00s period which is when this stuff was relevant and should've all transpired.
Hearing the material he was working with instead of speculating on whether the vault is empty gives you a much better perspective on those lineups.
Re: Best song so far?
Indeed it does.
This was long overdue. The rabid fan base always deserved to hear this stuff and not just a precious few having access.
My other favorite band, Soundgarden, has tons of demos and the world didn't end with fans listening to them. Only hardcores care about this stuff. If it's ever released, the people listening already will buy it.
Plus we're not getting any younger. No more perfect time than now to hear it all.
