Re: Chinese Democracy Official Tracklist
I like the piano and love what May did - although if FInck can play in-key and melodic on it I'd rather have him, just to keep continuity. Bucket on acoustic would be cool, but I like the straightforward poppyness of it.
We'll see what version we get.

Re: Chinese Democracy Official Tracklist
For years I begged for a reworked CITR with Finck on lead and Bucket playing acoustic. Get rid of May, and tone down that damn piano.
Its a beautiful song bogged down by its music.
You say that like the leak has been around forever when it's only been around for 2.5 years.
Re: Chinese Democracy Official Tracklist
I just think the song could use quite a bit of improvement. It is a masterpiece(lyrically anyways) and hopefully is able to stand out among all these other ballads. The musicians on the track do not rise up to Axl's standards. No wonder he blew off commenting on the track.
If its the 1999 version only polished, it'll get lost in the shuffle of these other tracks.

I classify 2.5 years as years.
Its felt like forever.

LOL, well the last 2.5 years have flown by for me. Maybe it's because I was in college during most of that time.

Yeah, but it doesn't take that long to start thinking things like that about even a finished song, much less a demo. Maybe that's not how everybody listens to music I guess, but I do it too.
Really, that's gonna be a big hurdle for them to get over with all us diehards. We've already decided how we want a bunch of these "new" songs coming out to sound compared with how they sounded while they were working on them. When in reality I would assume they were considered mostly "done" when they were laid to tape or played live.
I guess you can consider it a "hurdle" when we're mostly gonna buy the album either way, but it's something a lot of us will bitch about.

As you know I expected it to be a low key affair with very little promotional effort by GNR, but their total silence is truly baffling. I can see why he might wait another week or so and have a couple interviews in RS, People,etc. and doing a tv show or two, but at least have someone, ANYONE update that official site.
Maybe they have a certain date in mind for a formal announcement, and they're sticking to it no matter what.
For all the secrecy over the years, its a bit ironic that he's going to be the last person to reveal the details on the release.
it's not only the lack of promo........
right now people that aren't totally familiar with gnr are going to their site after hearing of the recent hype and the first thing they see is a bunch of negative bullshit.
and a very unflattering picture of tommy and axl.
change it back to the rock band news if you do not want to add something new

I've been cultivating a theory that somehow time has slowed down in Axl's world. He actually thinks only a few years have passed, and it's now the mid to late 90's. He doesn't realize the internet is even anything to be concerned about. He thinks they just got done with the two year tour for the album that's about to come out. Brain's drums weren't really set up in the studio for very long. etc...
That's really the only way it can all make sense.
