For those who have met the bandmembers....their fav song on CD

[Death Cube K]

IRS is hardy any good.
it sucks.
why cant you people see that.
I like the rest, but irs SUCKS.

I didnt know your opinion qualified as the truth. Im sorry. 

[Mikkamakka]

Mercky Merck said a while back that IRS, amongst other leaks, is a song not in the top 10 being considered for inclusion on Chinese Democracy.

Fans and bands not necesserly agree which are the best songs.

BTW it's a bit scary that Axl said in 2001 or 2002 that 'the songs we're playin' are not the big guns' and later that 'Better, The Blues and TWAT are my favourites', so I guess that these supposed to be the 'big guns', which isn't a good sign. (I don't say that these songs are bad, I like Better and TWAT while Blues is an OK song, but I expect(ed) the whole album to be much better than the songs we've heard so far.)


Back to the topic: I wish they'd talk more about the yet unheard songs since it's always interesting which are the musicians' favourites.

outside the venue at hammersmith, i heard chris pittman say that there is a new version of silkworms and it sounds "out of this world"

[oneway23]

He's only saying that cause he wrote it....come on...

[nyd]

Izzys favourite is Chinese Democracy, though he admitted he had only heard the live version. He said he likes Better too. Hasn't heard any final versions yet.

They could redo that song with nothing but farting noises and it would still be worlds better than the original.

silkworms grew on me, it an OK song, wouldnt put it on cd, a bonus track on a single or something, did axl write the silkworms lyrics??

seems to me CD will be a big mix of songs through all three albums (if that is still the plan) of input from all members on all types of music

[michaelvincent]

Wasn't it said that in the later half of the 90's that CD had a more industril feel to it?

They really need to do a Beatles Anthology style release of all the different CD outtakes.

[Led Roses 06]

IRS could be such a good song if Axl just took out all the "OH'S OH'S!!" I could never see it being good enough to release as a single though. At best it would be a solid song on CD and a good live tune but i wouldn't take it or want to see it taken any further.

i love silkworms! so i hope that comment about chris was sarcastic id love it to be true!

[Gargh!]

I really like IRS, but There Was A Time would make a better single IMHO.

Of course, for all we know the songs could have changed since the demo leaks.

[1badapple]

Slightly disconcerting. Or maybe the confidentiality agreement gone mad. Better, T.W.A.T and Madagascar are fantastic... I'd hope the others were the weaker links on the album.

there is no confidentiality agreement. that's another bullshit rumor the press made up.

Hi ,
Thanks for taking the time to write to me.  I apologize for the
lengthy
delay in responding to your email.  I've been trying to catch up on my
website emails while I'm on this tour.  Not that easy though, i'm still
only at April and I've only got 2 more weeks left on the tour!  Sorry
about any confusion or concern i caused by taking the dates off of my
site.  I took them down at our management's request.  They didn't want
there to be any confusion in case any of the dates were changed.  Hope
you were able to see some of the shows.  I surprised to hear that I am
bound by confidentiality agreements, i didn't realize.  Yes, Axl does
come to rehearsals!  Lately i've been listening to Wolf Mother, Wolf
Parade, Arctic Monkeys, My Morning Jacket, Black Mountain, Magic
Numbers, Millionaire, Calexico, Secret Machines, Guillemots, Raconteurs
and Jamie Lidell.  What are you listening to as of late? 
thanks,
richard


this is the message i sent him (months ago):

> hi. how are things going? good i hope. I was wondering why the Guns N
Roses tour dates have been pulled from your website. Are you still in
Guns N Roses? I know you're bound by confidentiality agreements and
whatnot, but can you please shed some light on some Guns related things?
Like who IS in the band these days? Does Axl partake in rehearsals? Will
we hear more new material on this tour and will we hear more Illusion
Era material on this tour?
>   
>   
> i was also wondering who some of your favorite bands are? Are there
any newer bands (bands that have come on the scene within the last 3-5
years) that you are particularly fond of?
>   
> thank you very much for your time.
