How many and which tracks do you guys think will show up on the album?

[Thorned Rose]

I think they will have IRS, Maddy, TWAT, The Blues for sure, I think that it will be at least 14 tracks too...

I think I remember somehwhere them saying about 13 tracks...

What do you guys think?

[ARC]

Definate-

Madagascar
IRS
Blues
Better
TWAT

Maybe-

Chinese Democracy
Rhiad & The Bedouvins
Oh My God

No way-

Silkworms

[Thorned Rose]

Oh yes, I forgot about Better. It is a good song, but I want the full version, anyone have it?

[ARC]

There is no real full version on the Internet.

The best we have is 2:06 long.

[Thorned Rose]

Could you PM me the longer version then please, mine is 1:20 sec.

Thanks

[Eric]

I doubt Oh My God will be in it-by the way, played it in the other night at a local bar and a lot of people who aren't necessarily guns fans like that song.

[F*ck Fear]

I think the album will have these tracks for sure.
The Blues
Better
IRS
TWAT
Madagascar

Other possiblities could be
Chinese Democracy - It wouldn't be the first time a band didn't put the title track on the album

I don't see being on the album
Silkworms
Oh My God
Rhiad

[Chief]

the blues
there was a time
madagascar
better
maybe C.D.

those are my feeling anyway...  i hope that we get the most amount of previously unheard songs on the cd though. i wouldn't mind if all the songs we heard were on a bsides disc which was mentioned before, and we have all new ones to hear!!

[Thorazine Shuffle]

I'm still holding out hope for a double album myself.

[BrokenGlass]

I hope Chinese Democracy is on there. I really dig it and can't wait for a proper polished version.

[Wando]

Better, There Was A Time and The Blues. I really don't beleive the other heard new songs to be on the album..

[HoldenCaulfield]

I'm 100% confident that 'Chinese Democracy', 'The Blues', 'Madagascar', 'Better', 'IRS', and 'There Was a Time' will be on the album. 'Riyadh'? Maybe. 'Silkworms'? No. I'd say the final count, UNLESS it's a double album, will be 12-13. Some of these tracks are pretty long, and you can only put 80 minutes worth of recording onto a cd...

[Negleyjj]

Better, There Was A Time and The Blues. I really don't beleive the other heard new songs to be on the album..

I'd be disapointed without Madagascar... IRS has had pretty good reviews from most too, but I guess I could live without it...

Tracks - Definite:

Chinese Democracy
The Blues
Madagascar
I.R.S.
Better
There Was A Time

I include CD whereas a few of you didn't. Why? Silkworms was played live in 2001 then dropped for the 2002 tour, whereas CD was always a number in the setlist, which tells me it'll be on the disc.

Tracks - Likely:

Catcher in the Rye
The General
Prostitute

We've heard so much about CITR, including from Axl himself, I have to believe it'll be on there. The other two are rumored to have leaked and just haven't surfaced yet, although I take these rumors with a grain of salt because one isn't confirmed IMO and Eddie Trunk is foggy about the demos he heard.

Tracks - Maybe:

Riyadh And The Bedouins
Ides of March
Seven
Leave Me Alone
Thyme
This I Love

Riyadh was dropped from the setlist like silkworms, but I think it fits the sound of the album better than Silkworms does from what we've heard. The other titles are stuff Beltrami worked on, plus This I Love we've known since what, 1994? I have the issue of RIP magazine somewhere where Axl talks about writing it.

Tracks - Unlikely:

Oh My God
Silkworms

Oh My God, which I like, was released already on the End of Days soundtrack, which sold quite well, so I see no point in including it. Silkworms, which I like blasting at full tilt to piss off the neighbors, just doesn't seem to fit in... it would be the My World of CD, although it's much better than My World.

Tracks - Highly Unlikely:

Cock-a-roach Soup
Suckerpunched
No Love Remains
Friend or Foe
Zip It
Something Always
Hearts Always Get Killed
Closing In On You
Strange Disease

I think most of these are B.S titles... however Jarmo had This I Love listed in with these and said Kerrang was the source cirica 1999 (noting they probably came from the net), this is just wrong though, whether they included it or not, Axl spoke about This I Love to RIP magazine in a lengthy interview back in the early-mid 90s.

Tracks - Almost Certainly Not:

Atlas Shrugged
Quick Song
Zodiac
Eulogy for a Broken Heart

I tend to believe that these names are either bunk, or tracks that have since be renamed. The lyrics of Better lend themselves to the title "Eulogy for a Broken Heart" but who knows...

From Sp1at - whether you like them or not.

"'There Was a Time', was not regarded as a memorable song by Paul Buckmaster, but it is a song that is personal to Axl, so is likely to feature on the new album."

I tend to believe this, although I find it memorable - I just don't like the opening much. But the climax of the song is killer.

CD better twat, blues maddy.. Irs for filler??

[Irish rose]

I dont think IRS will be on the album...I'd say Better, the Blues, Madagascar, There was a time, and Chinese Democracy are dead certs, although I think the latter will have evolved quite considerably from the version we heard in 2002

IRS is almost certainly on the album, Merck even alluded to it when he said "there are 10 strong tracks on the album" or whatnot - that kinda implies it's on the CD.

[jimmythegent]

we've got 4 class songs so far IMO

Better
TWAT
Chinese Democracy
The Blues

Sorry, Madascar is a weak, bloated, over-earnest dated sounding affair and IRS is an average to mediocre rock song (certainly not in the 'earth shattering' category)

Silkworms and Rhiad can take a running jump

I think he said it wasnt even in the top 10 or something to that effect...

Its so difficult to say what songs songs are gonna appear on the album, they could have evolved so much...

[Origen]

Tracks - Almost Certainly Not:

Zodiac

Isn't Zodiac ment to be one of the Big Guns ?
