Unreleased classic GN'R tracks

[Mattman]

There's still a bunch of unreleased tracks from the old Guns N' Roses out there.  I know there's definitely "Crash Diet" and "Ain't Goin' Down"...maybe there are some more.  But do you guys think that the band should officially release these in some form or another someday?  For sure "Crash Diet" is an incredible song.  I think that they should have put it on the Greatest Hits album.

they should of made the greatest hist a 2 disc deal with the other disc having all the b-sides and un released tracks.

There is a reason they were never released, because they are terrible. Pretty much all the songs that were never relased are just not that good.

I agree most are not very good, however, I really do enjoy "Sentimental Movie". That song is fucking great, and Slash plays his ass off. I could only imagine if they took the time to really polish it, and with Axl singing. Slash is a not a bad singer by the way.

Are you kidding? I've only heard two, but I know that "Crash Diet" absolutely rocks.  Axl's voice is in top form, and the lyrics are the best the band ever wrote about drugs.

Does anybody know any more of the band's unreleased old tracks?  I've never heard of "Sentimental Movie" before.

Gonna say this for the umpteenth time...

Crash Diet has been released by a band called Asphalt Ballet--who cowrote the song with Axl, Del, and West Arkeen. West plays guitar on the track, not Slash. It's an OK song but nothing great, and I doubt that they could (or would) ever realease it for legal reasons.

Well, I've heard two versions of "Crash Diet".  One I just downloaded straight off Kazaa.  It was okay, but it didn't really sound totally like Guns N' Roses.  The second one I downloaded off HTGTH.  It had worse production, but the performance was amazing and some of Axl's best singing ever.  It sounds like Guns N' Roses to me.  Are you sure you aren't just thinking about the Kazaa one?  After all, I don't know if HTGTH would have that version of "Crash Diet" on the site if it weren't genuine Guns N' Roses.

Of course GNR did the demo version you've heard...I'm just saying that Asphalt Ballet did an official studio version of the track that has been released.

I guess my first post can be a little confusing...I was specifically responding to the idea that it should have been on "Greatest Hits." (It's not even a released GNR song and certainly not a hit by any standards).

PS: Some of you guys should really read the HTGTH faq...these kind of questions get posted all the time.

you fuckin' crazy, Crash Diet is one of the best songs EVER!!!

i cant believe they did not do it properly man, it fuckin' rocks!!!

[Dave_Rose]

Crash Diet rules I wish they released Aint Going Down!

[Sakib]

theres loads they shud release. if they polish all of their unreleased stuff, it cud make a solid album (the 1's i'v hurd).
they shud'v made Shadow of Your love an album trak and their version of Heartbreak Hotel. n e 1 no where i can download sentimental movie???

[madagas]

I would have to agree with Dave2k, those songs are pretty lame. We got pretty much everything releaseable with UYI. However, I would be interested in hearing demos and different takes/mixes of Gnr classics. 

[mrlee]

ive heard crash diet and shadow of love and they are both badass.

[Eazy E]

I'm a fan of Just Another Sunday myself

whole lotta rosie

demon bell

Never heard that one. When/where was this song perform?

[Izzy]

I'd like to hear the work Axl did with Slash and Izzy between 94-96

[astutej]

I'm a fan of Just Another Sunday myself? ?

What's with the rofl dofl? That song's a classic!

If they would've thrown some of those unreleased tracks on the greatest hits I think it would've sold even huger than it did anyway.  That seems to be the trend now with bands.  They throw a couple unreleased tracks on their compilations so even the fans that have everything the band has done will still buy it.  It worked with Red, White & Crue.
