Title: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: D on September 02, 2006, 08:09:13 PM
I absolutely do.

Had I known this really was the time, I would've never listened to any of the leaked songs.

Although the leaks are amazing and I now know Chinese Democracy will be one of the greatest albums ever, It kinda saddens me to think that I've already spoiled half the album.


Anyone else have regrets?

I have no regrets because I got to hear them four times in NYC live. It was nice hearing them a few times before live.  I'm still going to love the cd when it comes out this year.  :drool:

The leaks were great and they promoted the new band so much that I think that... "it is what should be".

...because CD is still our dream

We dont know for sure what the track list will be but it is very possible that we have heard 8 of the tracks already. Its possible that the songs will sound different than what we heard, but if not, thats the price we all pay for downloading the tracks.

I dont regret it though. They were some of the best songs I've heard in the last 5 years.

Yes getting to hear them play Better and IRS after listening to the leaks nonstop was quite a treat.   I dont regret anything.  I didn't want to listen to it, but being such a hardcore fan, there is no way you can't listen to it.   Its just not possible.

Post by: RancidPunx on September 02, 2006, 08:19:37 PM
Hell no. We waited what , 10-15 years for new material? I think that the versions on the CD may end up sounding very different from the ones that were leaked anyway. After all the years of no information, there was no way I wasn't going to listen to them. It is pretty obvious that Gn'R were responsible one way or the other for these "leaks" Ever wonder why the only new songs played live were the leaks?

Post by: robinfinckfan on September 02, 2006, 08:21:55 PM
I absolutley think Axl ok'd those leaks.

No, I just hope none are on there or their bonus tracks and we get 13-14 unheard

Post by: GnR-NOW on September 02, 2006, 08:24:43 PM
No I dont regret it.  The demos of Better and TWAT are unbelievable, I love the live version of IRS better then the Demo, and the newer versions of CD, Blues, and Madagascar are much better now then in 2002.  So once we have a mastered studio version of these songs plus some ones we never heard, it wont make a difference because CD will be that good.

Post by: bazgnr on September 02, 2006, 08:29:14 PM
No regrets.  The leaks served their purpose, and woke the world up to the fact that GnR was back.  To me, hearing the leaks in no way takes away from the excitment of hearning the finished, mastered tracks on the CD for the first time.  I'm thrilled to know that so many solid songs will likely be on the disc, and am psyched  beyond words to hear the non-leaked tracks for the first time as well...

Absolutely not!  It gave us a taste of what was to come, and quite frankly I don't think we could have survived another 7-8 months.  A lot of people would have left.  The leaks were essential and in my opinion, breathed some fresh air into the band and into the fanbase.

No way in hell. Even if the whole album leaked right now, I would download it immediately. I would of course still buy it the day it was released though.

Those leaks are the best music I've heard since Soundgarden released Superunknown. I would never deprive myself of incredible music.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: 31illusions on September 02, 2006, 08:41:07 PM
No i don't. I would have paid money to hear what GN'R sounds like now. but i got it for free! "better" is the best song i've heard since UYI. But the other songs..... not so good.

I hate how people can sit here and say:

"Its no AFD or UYI"

HELLO it isnt suppose to be.

This is where fans fuck up and it pisses me off.

It isnt just some GNR fans though.

U go to a Red Hot Chili Pepper forum and people bitch everytime a new album isnt BSSM, I dont go to many message boards but I can imagine its about the same every where else also.

People need to realize that Axl isnt trying to do AFD again, he isnt trying to do UYI again.

The fact someone can say the album wont be better when u havent even heard the fuckin thing yet is extremely? obtuse. If u already have it judged before u hear it, of course it wont be as good as those albums but the least u could do is give it a fair couple listens.

How the hell can someone form an opinion on an album they havent even heard yet?

Better,The Blues and Madagascar are better than every song on AFD except WTTJ,PC,SCOM and RQ in my opinion. Although I would much rather hear Maddy and The Blues over Paradise City.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: nygiants82 on September 02, 2006, 09:20:52 PM
Absolutlely not. My wife probably does since I play them in the house or in my car all the time though! But seriously, these are just the demos and it is always cool to have a demo in addition to the final version. I also think that these songs were leaked intentionally. I believe Axl wanted us to have them.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: GnR-NOW on September 02, 2006, 09:23:28 PM
Can anyone honestly say, they never listened to the leaks other then being at a concert when the songs were played?


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?

Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: badapple81 on September 02, 2006, 09:29:26 PM
No regrets.

'Better' still amazes me everyday and really kept my interest alive. I almost wish Maddy and The Blues studio were leaked before I heard them live so I could really appreciate how great those songs probably are, I can imagine that the live versions just don't do them justice.

Bring on Chinese Democracy!

I dont regret it at all. Those leaks really were great. They were the best thing that happened in the GNR world in my 3 years of lurking/posting here. Im still gonna love democracy when it comes out. But the leaks were really cool, and i still listen to them all the time.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: killingvector on September 02, 2006, 11:12:03 PM
No regrets. The leaks made the time pass by much faster and embolden my passion for the new band from the nadir that existed when Buckethead left.

Yes there is no question in my mind about that.  He mentions them in the rollingstone interview, then bam! they are the only new songs they've played live after that.

WE have heard plenty by now, we've got a pretty good idea now what the album will sound like. It ain't the classic GN'R, and it never will be! But i will buy it and listen to it 50 times a day, just like i do all the new songs. so dont paste me as a "new GN'R" hater cause i'm not. But to think it will be "the same" or "better" or "the best album ever" is just being crazy. I will take AXL singing in any incarnate of GN'R over none at all.

I dont think u are a new gnr hater Im just sayin, listen to the entire album before declaring it isnt on par with AFD or UYI.

If people defeat it before they even hear it then it will have no chance of livin up to the hype.

I have no self control over stuff like this. I suppose I wish only like three songs were eaked and played live so we would have more to look forward to.

I dont regret it, as I fucking love the songs. And it has made me more anxious for the album. But what I'm gonna do is when the release date is announced I am not gonna listen to any of the new material until the album comes out. Except of course the single. That way the songs will sound fresh and new to me all over again. Damn, just talking about having the album is making me so anxious right now.  :drool:

I may regret not being able to get a full cd of new songs for me to listen to, but the leaks definitely made the world of GNR a lot more exciting when nothing else was going on.  Overall, I think it was worth it.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: Locomotive98 on September 03, 2006, 01:22:37 AM

Better,The Blues and Madagascar are better than every song on AFD except WTTJ,PC,SCOM and RQ in my opinion. Although I would much rather hear Maddy and The Blues over Paradise City.

Heh heh, does the D stand for deaf by any chance?

There is a certain freshness you acquire when you listen to a song the first couple times. THe more you listen to it, the freshness goes away.

I regret listening to Better, because I miss the freshness of it. I listened to the song played backwards and since it was completely different, yet similar at the same time, I felt that freshness again. But who knows, maybe I'm crazay....

Post by: supaplex on September 03, 2006, 02:07:09 AM
i don't regret listening the leaks

but, if someone official said: "ok, a few demos of new songs are out but we want you not to listen to them because we have a whole european tour and then the album is definitely 100% coming out this year" maybe i wouldn't listen to them. but then i would download the bootlegs and i would hear the new songs anyway.

it takes away part of the surprise when cd comes out but i can live with that.

and people listened to the leaks because in the world of gnr nothing is carved in stone and it could end tomorrow just like that and we'd never get the chance to hear any of those songs.

I sure as hell Don't. Cuz i think the songs we've heard so far from this album (live and leaked) arent really the "BIG GUNS".. i mean would Axl really let his best tracks leak? idonttinkso.

I just like the outro but that's it. The rest of the song sounds too "metallish" to me (both rythm and lead)... I don't know...
I also think it lacks structure and coherence, it's all over the place but at the end this is not really coherent. and all this useless guitar shred and unproper transitions...not good. Where's the flow of the old material?
I hope it will not be the 1st single.

Post by: Dont Try Me on September 03, 2006, 04:30:54 AM
I don't regret listening to it. I enjoy them every time I hear them. Especially Better, love that voice and Finck's outro.  :D The schredding parts doesn't strike me as special or anything, but there are allot of people who do like that. So there's best of both worlds. That is what I like about the current Guns N' Roses. This band is versatile and there's something to enjoy for all.

Naw I agree with him somewhat. Some people treat Better like the second coming of Christ (I did the first time I heard it.. but it was mostly excitement over hearing new material.)

It's a good song.. but it's not THAT good.

Yeah. You know I was in holidays this summer, I listened to "better" on my MP3 Player... but after a couple of listens I went back listening to the
87-93 erea material. No need to say more. It means what it means...

If you went to a concert this year or have listened to bootles then you have heard all the leaks being played live anyway (with exception of citr)

I don't "regret" listening to them and I still won't just because the length of time the album has taken, the album we still don't have.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?

From what Axl said to Rolling Stone Magazine, we have heard what he considers his "big guns." In the interview, Axl was asked which songs he liked the most and he named The Blues, Better and TWAT. So, according to Axl's taste, we have heard the best material that he and the band have written from their ten years of being couped-up in a studio.

regreting it? yes and no. yes, cause now i know almost half of the new album (if they end up being on it). and no, cause the tracks are fucking awesome.

and to ge ta lil bit of topic, since some say it's no a4d or uyi.

a4d sounds different than lies, than uyi 1 & 2 that tsi. and CD will sound different again! that's the good thing about axl, he doesn't copy himself.

I agree. Some of the songs we have heard so far maybe reminiscent of old guns songs, but I think CD will sound very diffrent to the old albums.

And the fact I currently listen to the newer songs as much as if not more than the old ones means that it has every chance of standing up to the older albums IMO.

You know I am beginning to think that the right selection of tracks for the album will be critical to its success. There is a lot of variety to the new songs we've heard, and getting the right mix maybe more difficult than we appreciate. Whilst cretain songs maybe stonger, they may not fit in so to speak and are therefore being reserved for future releases.

hey don't ever post here but this thread and some of the posts in it got me thinking

some of you guys said you thought axl knew about the leaks and another said we were serious fans so could'nt help but download and listen to them

ever thought that maybe axl released these "leaks" as a treat and a bit of test of the water for the tour and stuff knowing that we download and discuss it all for him to read, after all we know he at least used to read the forums after him mentioning the names at rock in rio. maybe it was his way of letting the fans in on what was coming knowing the diehard fans would be at the concerts able to sing along and get into these new tunes??

just a thought but you never know

It depends on if the studio versions is better or not. Of course the quality will be better, but maybe the song itself isn't better.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: nesquick on September 03, 2006, 08:26:11 AM
- IRS: will be Rock monster. When I heard this song live, there was a kind of "wall of sound", powerfull and energetic as hell. Groovy.
- Catcher in the Rye: The most underrated demo because it was leaked into the wrong pitch/speed. When we get the real deal, believe me, it's gonna be one of the favourite's Guns N' Roses song for many people... and I'll be among the 1st ones.
- TWAT: I have no idea about this one because The bad mix/sound quality make it sound like a mess. I need a proper sound and a proper mix to judge it. I can hear the enormous potencial though.
- The Blues: already a classic.
- Madagascar: very good song. The studio version may become a classic, we will see that.
- Chinese Democracy: good Rock song. The 06 version is better. I love the new intro.
- better: The Outro saves the song for me. Contrary to many people, I'm not mad about that one. It bores me quickly. Way too many "metalish" influences and shred/fast guitar playing to me. Lack of structure. incoherent songwriting. It's like a song in different pieces, like an incomplete puzzle. Unproper transitions. The Chorus needs double voices and/or backing vocals to be stronger. My biggest wory is about the guitar playing it's... well... "blah". Where are the magic and subtilities of the Slash bluesy-Rock guitar playing? Where is the Classic-Rock vibe and sound? The answer is simple: in GN'R 87-93 there was a guitar-hero,? in GN'R 2006 there is not. That's it. I can hear it in that song. Not bad, but not my favourite one.

no regrets....no new material in ten years, hell, yeah I am gonna download...

1. I think Axl ok'd the leaks.....c'mon, people,

2. there is no guarantee that you will EVER see the album, it's been promised before, by Axl.....

I am curious, if it doesnt come out will you be sitting here saying "does anyone regret NOT downloading the leaks?" ?besides, they are just demos anyway, 2 of them were different live anyways, and Madagascar, the Blues and Chinese Democracy are different everytime they start a new tour. Don't worry, the album, if it comes, will be a surprise.

I can't say I regret downloading the songs at the time, because I was so anxious to hear new songs like everyone else here. I mean, I freakin LOVE this band like no other, so any new material that surfaced after waiting so long, I just had to hear!

It is a bit of a shame if the album comes out and I already know half the songs, but I think hearing studio versions of Maddy, Blues and CD will make me VERY happy regardless :beer:

I regret listening to a degree but if I didn't hear them I would have been even more impatient.. The con is I am tired of a bunch of the songs already so cd won't be as fresh for me..

Post by: thelostrose on September 03, 2006, 10:26:44 AM
You know I am beginning to think that the right selection of tracks for the album will be critical to its success. There is a lot of variety to the new songs we've heard, and getting the right mix maybe more difficult than we appreciate. Whilst cretain songs maybe stonger, they may not fit in so to speak and are therefore being reserved for future releases.

the right selection really could be a tricky one. just an example: although i totally like each song, uyi 1 isn't really coherent (especially the first half). first don't cry, then perfect crime, you ain't the first, bad obsession... i mean, what did they think? i can't see a continous thread.
in 2006 GnR/Axl will be judged even by that since the expectations from fans/media are somewhere between 'awesome as hell' and 'it'll sound like shit'.

nonetheless... i (still) can't wait ;)

anyone else thinks - after a release date is set - he/she'll won't d/l before the release?

I have that feeling too. I cannot imagine for one minute there will be better songs than better, the blue, TWAT, IRS, Madagascar. The other songs just might be fillers. Then again, woudln't it be amazing if there were better songs than the ones we have heard.

I'm looking forward to hearing the tracks that never made it onto CD. The tracks that might appear in the future on a CD2 or CD3? :)

This is exactly my concern too. I would have no problems with the leaks being a part of the album....if they album was 30 songs long. If it's 13 or 14 songs and we've already got 1/2 of them, it would be a little dissapointing. If he puts only a couple of them on it, it would be much , much better.

I doubt it. The live versions were trying to sound as close to the leaks as possible. Thus the leaks represent near complete versions of the songs. I cannot imagine the band playing versions of old leaks just to the fool the fans? :hihi:

they changed quite a bit more than just some additional drumming or soundeffects...  look at IRS for example...  there`s a new solo, a new intro and the sound of the song in general changed (ie. orchestration/ the keyboards were dropped/ piano/ different outro...... or twat, they didn`t change the structure of the song or the lyrics or anything like that (which is perfect anyways imo...), it`s just the details..  the chorus is heavier (which sounds a lot better now), the intro changed and they added drums to robin`s solo (which are clearly missing in the demo version.....)

but the most important aspect is the quality... i seriously can`t enjoy listening to the leaks, because of the crappy qualitiy....

i can`t wait for the final versions : ok:

The songs arent gonna sound that much different, the quality is gonna be much much better, and that will make a world of a difference. Better is almost identical to the leak. I.R.S is the most different with the new intro, new guitar solo, and the keyboards. TWAT is the same except with a new intro, maybe the drums will be there during Robin's solo, but that isnt different anyway cause they were there in the '99 demo. All the songs have changed a little bit with the exception of Better in my opinion.

With that said, I aint complaining. I like all the changes in the songs. They all kick ass and the record will be worth it to me, and thats all that matters, is if I like the record. Cant wait.  :drool:

I sure as hell Don't. Cuz i think the songs we've heard so far from this album (live and leaked) arent really the "BIG GUNS".. i mean would Axl really let his best tracks leak? idonttinkso.

gawd, i cant wait to hear "prostitute" . . .

From what Axl said to Rolling Stone Magazine, we have heard what he considers his "big guns." In the interview, Axl was asked which songs he liked the most and he named The Blues, Better and TWAT. So, according to Axl's taste, we have heard the best material that he and the band have written from their ten years of being couped-up in a studio.

I think you are putting together two pieces of information and assuming they are connected. Maddie, Blues, Rhiad, and CD were not considered big guns. Axl in no way said that Better and TWAT were the big guns; he merely said that they were his favorites at the time.  It was in no way an indication of the quality of the remaining setlist. Prostitute and This I Love have been considered to be very strong tracks in their own right.


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: codenameninja on September 03, 2006, 02:50:54 PM
One thing is for sure, the recording quality of the sound will be the best of all the Gn'R albums released so far due to modern technology. AFD is the poorest recorded Gn'R album of them all, with TSPI? being the best. I'm not saying the new material will be better though.

The album may even be recorded 5.1 surround sound for full on versions of the epic tracks such as the Blues? :beer:


Title: Re: Anyone regret listening to the leaks now CD seems imminent?
Post by: Scabbie on September 03, 2006, 02:56:21 PM
I don't think Axl would have released all of his 'big guns' before the album. I think there's much more to come.

As I said before how the songs fit together could be important therefore I wouldn't be surprised if he holds several big guns back for a future releases.

Finally, there is often big divide over what people's favorite songs are, therefore whilst Better might be one persons favorite song the remaining songs on the album maybe more to other fans tastes

I agree, I hate seeing the song called maddie, its Madagascar.  As for hearing 7 of the 13 tracks that supposedly will be on CD, definitely wont make it boring when the CD comes out.  Hearing mastered versions of these songs will be unreal, although it'll be tough to top Better, I think its awesome just the way it is.  But after hearing the 06 versions of CD, Blues and Madagascar, the mastered versions will be unreal.

I tell you, Madagascar will probably sound HUGE. There are tons of guitar subtilities that we will hear clearer than ever on the record.
The 2006 version is a little bit different, Fortus has added his touch on the chorus guitar riff, and it sounds better. They also cut the the hip-hop beats when the speech arrive. Once again, another improvement. all those minor details, when you add them, song by song, improve the quality of the new tracks.

I honestly dont believe we have heard the Big Guns yet.

Just because they are Axl's favorites doesnt mean they are the Big Guns.


A lot of artists sometimes despise their biggest songs and their favs are sometimes the more personal type songs.

So just cause those are his favorites, that doesnt mean they are the best.

That song rocks so much, I listen to it all the time. "So bittersweet this tragedy..." Oh my god, I almost cry when Axl sings that on the live versions that can be found on Youtube.

Axl and management authorised the leaks, no question. The leaked songs are being performed live, hence the reason why they were leaked in the first place. So if your a hardcore fan I see no possibility of avoiding material which is now woven into the fabrice of the live shows, short of burying your head in the sand. Anyway as other posters have mentioned Axl would not be stupid enough to reveal all the supposed big guns before the official release. Having said that though Better is obviously a song that is considerd to be one of the best and many expect it to be releases as a single. I have a sneaky suspicion however that none of the leaked songs will be released as singles, hopefully we will be all blown away by some monster that has yet to revealed and lies dormant. I like a lot of the new material, CD, TWAT, MADI, Better, parts of the BLUES, I think IRS is not the best song ever and as much as I like BETTER I would honestly be very dissapointed if this was one of the strongest singles on the album, Im hoping that theres half an album that wev'e yet to hear which lives up to the mysical hoorah surrounding CD.

I don't regret listening to them one single bit.  You have to listen to them because with these guys you have no idea when the album is ever gonna come out. With normal bands you can hold off listening to the leaks because you know the album is coming out.  Had I knwn theat Chinese Democracy was coming out the fiurst week in June I would never have listened to the leaks. Not knowing when the album is coming out is my reasoning for listenning. Too bad the songs aren't nearly as good as I  had hoped they'd be. Though they are just demos so I'll wait and see.
