FAKE: cd mastering rumour (not CD)

[Almost Famous]

Or to the label... would they dare give it back?

[Saul]

mistake on my part me thinks.

[Voodoochild]

Well.. If this is the Chinese Democracy indeed, then it will not have any 5.1 sound, I guess:



But pilferk is right about the mastering of GH2. He did all the GN'R albuns besides AFD and the Greatest Hits 1, so I doubt he would do it with the GH2.

[ppbebe]

Hmm but can we completely rule out GH2?
There were 2 versions according to Ross Hafman.
GH1 was done by Uni without any approval from the very artists.

We can't completely rule out anything.  All we can do is digest the facts and draw the most logical conclusions.  Even then, there's no guarantee as to their accuracy.

Subject: Websites reporting GNR CD Being mastered

Thank you in advance for clearing this up, as the GNR world is getting pretty antsy, and if this isn't true people should know now.

Websites such as sp1at.com are reporting that George Marino has been delivered Chinese Democracy and started mastering it late last year.

Is this true?

HIS RESPONSE to thenewguns.com (which has been forwarded to jarmo at htgth if no one believes me)

This is rubbish as is most of what splat speculate on.

Has anyone here considered that mastering in CD's case could be a fairly long process? Given the rumored complexity of some tracks (orchestral backing etc), it may not be just a couple of days...

I'll say this though, regardless of Merck's reply, clearly the guy is mastering something to do with GNR... Sp1at may be speculating wildly, but they didn't plant it on that website, and I doubt a guy with Marino's creds would just make it up.

[kyrie]

And again, despite the topic of this thread being altered (FAKE) - clearly there's some truth to the rumor here. It's not FAKE, it just might not be CD, or the final version of CD... Merck's answer leaves lots of wiggle room as always.

Well, we're not gonna make people think it's CD because nobody knows what it is.

He might be mastering something, we don't know what.

thanks rainx, thanks Merck!

Merck's response is truly the best quote EVER for ANY GNR fan.

Do NOT listen to that site (sp1at.com) EVER.  THEY ARE A RUMOR BOARD AND THEY TWIST EVERYTHING AROUND TO MAKE IT APPEAR AS LEGIT NEWS AND IT'S NOT!!!

And younggunner...well said dude

[RichardNixon]

Perhaps it's the "lost" album recorded in '96? 

or

Axl reads this board and covered "Baby's got back" just for me!

His mastering something, his mastering something Gn'R. That only leaves CD  or maybe its an old entry for the Gn'R Hits 2 album that was stopped (if it ever existed )

Damn Sp1at just got burned.? Bad.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

The more and more I check out other GNR sites(sp1at, mygnr.com) , the more I like this one 

(thenewguns.com is really cool also  )

OK so merck says its not CD,maybe CD has been done and this is its follow up or prehaps a single etc.forgive me if this has already been said but i havnt read all the posts in this topic yet.and as far as im concerned,mercks word is as good as sp1ats since everything that has come from him has been bullshit so far.

[rainX]

I think it would be unfair to forget to give kudos to sp1at for finding the information on the Sterling Sound website. We don't know what it means, but it's gotta mean something.

[jimmythegent]

thats right, its sourced from a lefitlimate site and George Marino is very well known for his mastering. There must be some legitimacy here - possibly it is GH2 and hasnt been updated

I find it odd that Merck dissed sp1at in that way - why has communicated with them in the past if he feels this way?
