Title: Rolling Stones "Sway" / GN'R connection Post by: jarmo on August 09, 2006, 06:49:03 PM As you might have heard/read GN'R covered Sway by the Rolling Stones at the July 29th show in London, UK.
The song appears on the Sticky Fingers album which was released in 1971. But did you know the guy who is credited for the strings is one Paul Buckmaster? Here's the rumored GN'R connection: Acclaimed orchestral arranger and Grammy-award winner Paul Buckmaster has apparently worked on arrangements for four songs that are slated to appear on the long-awaited GUNS N' ROSES album, "Chinese Democracy". According to Buckmaster's official discography/list of credits, which can be viewed at this location, he has served as the arranger and conductor on the tracks "Blues", "Twat", "Madagascar" and "Prostitute", all of which are expected to surface on the much-anticipated CD, due next year via Interscope. http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1217 Small world.....? ;) /jarmo Title: Re: Rolling Stones "Sway" / GN'R connection Post by: the dirt on August 09, 2006, 06:56:24 PM Hmm, how coincidental. They may not have even realized it...

What was the rumored track title he described as being like 'Fire and Ice'? I thought the rumored track details were different w/ the exception of Prostitute. Title: Re: Rolling Stones "Sway" / GN'R connection Post by: sic. on August 09, 2006, 07:18:03 PM Amusingly, he was also the conductor and arranger in The Darkness' sophomore album One Way Ticket to Hell and Back, which was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, who worked on CD in '00-'02.
Axl's probably been going back and forth his undoubtedly huge record shelf, picking up stuff he'd like and contacted the production people to add some of that into his own material. Looking at their credits, the people involved in the production so far are pretty much an all-star group! What was the rumored track title he described as being like 'Fire and Ice'? Prostitute, I think.

Not to be mean, but to ask your first question, I would guess that you have not even heard the songs you are talking about.... c'mon people, at least know what you are talking about....

c'mon people, at least know what you are talking about.... Maybe I dont know the definition of orchestra. Do the horns in Madagascar and piano in The Blues qualify as an orchestra? Or am I missing something? Title: Re: Rolling Stones "Sway" / GN'R connection Post by: the dirt on August 09, 2006, 10:43:25 PM Maybe I dont know the definition of orchestra. Do the horns in Madagascar and piano in The Blues qualify as an orchestra? Or am I missing something? The Blues could easily do without any orchestration. And Nuts, you can tell very easily what on Madagascar is; all that crap going on. And I've gotta say, the song needs it.....

Well, better if "One Way Ticket to Hell" had never surfaced, in my opinion. Very cool to hear more confirmation that CD has not only been worked on, but is progressing closer to a release date as well...

Wait, didn't we have sticky fingers as a board mate here? Or was his name lies? : ;D or a year earlier? sorry I'm confused. :confused: That's the plan!!! :hihi:Title: Re: Rolling Stones "Sway" / GN'R connection Post by: HoldenCaulfield on August 12, 2006, 09:14:18 PM 'Madagascar' obviously has lots of orchestration, but as far as 'The Blues', if they put the newer, more stripped-down version on the album, I'm sure Paul's work won't be there...

Great lyrics that fit Axl and Gnr in general perfect. Here is some more info on the song....and ps, Jarmo, you stole my thunder on the Buckmaster connection! I mentioned this first when I heard they covered it in London-only one person responded ;D-I guess I don't hold as much "Sway" as you do. :hihi: Finally, note that Keith Richards doesn't play guitar on this track yet he gets a writing credit. Interesting..at least to me.
Recorded in April & May, 1970. Released April 23, 1971 on the album Sticky Fingers Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar: Mick Jagger Electric Lead Guitar: Mick Taylor Bass: Bill Wyman Piano: Nicky Hopkins Drums: Charlie Watts Backing Vocals: Keith Richards Strings: Paul Buckmaster SWAY (M. Jagger/K. Richards) Did you ever wake up to find A day that broke up your mind Destroyed your notion of circular time It's just that demon life has got you in its sway It's just that demon life has got you in its sway Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground For all my friends out on the burial ground Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down It's just that demon life has got me in its sway It's just that demon life has got me in its sway There must be ways to find out Love is the way they say is really strutting out Hey, hey, hey now One day I woke up to find Right in the bed next to mine Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah It's just that demon life has got me in its sway It's just that demon life has got me in its sway It's just that demon life has got me in its sway It's just that demon life has got me... It's just that demon life has got me...
