How many songs will be on Chinese Democracy?

[Neemo]

How many minutes of material can be put on a CD these days?

Isn't it still around 74-80 minutes?





/jarmo

As far as I know, yeah

I just went through all my copies of the "new" songs the lengths are approximately as follows:

Oh My God - 3:40
Madagascar - 5:30
The Blues - 4:30
Chinese Democracy - 3:00
IRS - 3:40
Rhiad and the Bedouins - 3:20
Silkworms - 3:20

thats about 27 minutes for 7 tracks. so that's, on average 3minutes and 50 seconds per track. Which works out to be 20 tracks in 80 minutes (@ 3.83333 mins/track)

It is conceivable that there may be 18 tracks on CD like Axl said ages ago or maybe the 15 track rumor is true and there is a song or 2 around 7 minutes long.

forgive me if this has been mentioned earlier.
Today Melodicrock posted this rumored track list, which I haven't seen before.
Interesting that The Blues was excluded, but like so many other things I have a feeling this is far from official.

Chinese Democracy . Wombosi . I.R.S. . Thyme . Greenletter . The General . Todd The Intern . Madagascar . Shameless . Catcher In The Rye . Leave Me Alone . Atlantis . Closing In On You . Velvet Rope Dope.

Neemo  I didn't know that you are the fan of Great Tubular Bells!!!  How unpredictable!

Actually I dreamed of that.....but I thought, You know in actuality a band would need songs in the length of a single...so I dared not post it.

How about trying to play and sing a song like that live,  , Axl has to leave every 10 min or so now for a breather, he would be hoarse after 1 concert, but it would be a cool show

ppbebe, I give all music a listen, loud guitars rule for me though so Dave Mustaine, Slash, Dimebag, Zakk Wylde etc. are my heros, but one can't live on meat alone, so other music gets played at my house regularly. I'm not just some metal-head

[mrlee]

the general sounds a cool title

I'm surprised people didn't freak out when Tommy said something like " this is gonna be a short album". Not an exact quote, but pretty close. CD might just be the best 8 or 9 songs Axl has.

[Timothy]

I believe that TOmmy said it was going to be 10-11 tracks .

But after all these years of Tommy saying stuff .I think it's pretty safe to say he doesn't have a fuckin clue whats going on.
