Re: T Minus 3 days and counting...............??
while we are waiting....A NEW SNIPPETT FROM SEAN BEAVEN
Antiquiet: Walk us through the experience of working on the new Guns N' Roses album.
Sean Beavan: Ah yes, that was a long time ago. It was between '˜98 and 2000, I think. Tommy Stinson and I became good friends, and we see each other quite a bit, so he gives me updates here and there. I have no idea what's going on now. Almost everybody involved with the project when I was working on it isn't a part of it anymore. It was Josh Freese on drums, Tommy was playing bass'¦ Dizzy was playing keyboards, and I think he's still doing that. It was a blast working with Axl. He was a really funny guy. That's probably the one thing that surprised me the most- just how funny the guy could be. When he'd come in to do vocals, he'd warm up for like forty-five minutes not by singing, but by telling jokes. He was just extremely funny and super nice.
Antiquiet: Was there any sense that Chinese Democracy was nearing completion back then?
Sean Beavan: I thought there was. (laughs) I think we worked on thirty-five songs or something. But the guy just continually creates, and as people changed into and out of the band, a lot of things got re-tracked. I'd love to see the record come out soon, but we'll see. They say it was turned in.
Nice part at the end 
I think Sean was the best producer for Axl. Sucks he left. Wasn't it because of Bob Ezrin?
Re: T Minus 3 days and counting...............??
not that I know of.....the Ezrin stuff gets WAY too much attention on this board...his opinion is no more important than any other person's opinion of "the project"....Brian May listened to a couple of albums of material in May 2000 and thought they were fantastic, as did multiple other people during that timeframe (the same timeframe Ezrin ALLEGEDLY said he only had three good songs). Buzzsaw only thinks he has 2 good songs......I think he has 9......opinions are like assholes. :sick: Just passing time......:peace:
Re: T Minus 3 days and counting...............??
ID, that is my point. Ezrin has produced some crap as well as The Wall. We also don't know how he was judging the material. Was he looking at commercial potential? Was he looking at it from an artistic standpoint? You have no idea what his angle was because he personally never spoke on the subject. His quote is hearsay from a third party and all the naysayers run with it till the cows come home around here. A quote from 8 years ago and three hundred and sixty two retakes ago.:haha:
