Re: Who's still listening to the leaks & SR?

I was wondering who is still listening to the 9 song leak of Chinese Democracy and "Shackler's Revenge" if you have a copy of both?  I personally have to be a certain mood to listen to any of the songs.  Axl's vocals and the production can be a bit much if I have a headache or just want to relax.   

Ironically I remember when the 4 songs leaked back in 2006  I listened to them over and over again along with the live versions of Blues/Madagascar/CD.  Either I'm sick of hearing those particular songs or the remastering and remixing on the new demos have taken the enjoyment out of the tracks. 

What do you all think?  It would suck to finally get the album in late November and then be tired of it by Christmas!  I guess it depends if the 5 new songs we get are better than "Song #2" and "If The World."  If not I might consider Chinese Democracy the best album released.. in 2006.

I don't listen much anymore. I want to be able to have a slightly fresh take on these tracks when they're released. I did listen to Shackler again after BBF said what he played, but other than that, nada. I mainly listen to Santogold, couple Bucket albums(been diving into Population Override lately), some of Rye Rye's tracks, Arular, Wellwater Conspiracy, one of my 80s discs, and some Spice Girls concerts.

I hadn't listened to any of them in a long time...perhaps 1 month or smth...
Probably 'cuz i got "tired" of the leaks...
But i realised that,people this album is HUGE...i was tryin' to find the weakest song but i couldn't....Rhiad perhaps?
If u detox yourself from GN'R and then start listening to the leaks...you realise that Chinese Democracy is gonna be a great album.

i Listen to TWAT and Chinese democracy at least 3 times a day each, same with better, other then that i've gone off listening to music at the moment, since i am supposed to be studying. shackler's underwhelms me now, i was completely in love with it when it first leaked, and then fell remotely in love with it after the official release, but since then it seems to bore me.

Yeah I wore out Better, IRS & TWAT when they first leaked in 2006.  I even listened to the instrumental versions.   Along with the 2002 live versions of Blues/Madagascar/CD I guess I've heard these songs too many times.  I really wish Axl would have just dropped the album back in 06.   

I still enjoy the extended "Chinese Democracy" with the long intro.  It's fun to listen to while driving.  I prefer the original demos of TWAT, IRS and Better.  And the live versions of Blues, Madagascar & Riyadh aren't that different from the studio ones.  "If The World" has its moments.  But Axl's vocals get on my nerves.  "Song #2" has a few brilliant changes but overall fails.  And "Shackler's" sounds like it comes from a totally different album.

I'm still listening to them, but not as much as I'd like to.

I still listen to TWAT every now and then, but none of the others.
