Zakk Wylde: Unreleased GN'R tracks in Duff's vault!

[requiem156]

I hope the stuff that Zakk Wylde did with GNR is released one day. Zakk doesn't just shred, he writes very soulful, bluesy riffs on the guitar. His roots are with Sabbath and Zeppelin.

Actually his roots are with Skynyrd, the Allman Bros. and Sabbath.

Black Label Society - that's some soulful, bluesy stuff all right.

Yupyup!

Haha Duff's vault eh.... anyone up for a little trip to El Casa De Duff with a blowtorch and black balaclavas?

[CheapJon]

If you can outlive the band, you'll hear it all.

i hope and think so too.. just look at all the new jimi hendrix releases after his death that he had recorded..

if that was what you meant

[The New Fiona Apple]

We should raid it!

[mikegiuliana]

to think new gnr could have been zakk and slash

[chad_er33]

i don't think you could have 2 kick ass guitar players like that in one band.  it would be hard deciding who would play what solo's.  lots of egos.  Both of them are great though.

[DeN]

of course i talked about the demos.

(ok ok i have the complete Checkmate song 5.56 mns in 320 kbps mp3) 


anyway, since the mid 90s a number of bootlegs of Led Zep have surfaced,
who are believed to have been sourced from demo tapes stolen from
Jimmy Page's house....so maybe we'll see the same for guns, or maybe one
day Duff will put that online, who knows...

Once/if "Chinese Democracy" comes out, it would be stupid if someone didn't approach the idea of putting out some sort of a disc with all this stuff...hell im sure it could even make up a box set from all the possible recordings. and im sure many different music fans all across the board would love to hear it, just think about who has collaborated with Axl in the years leading up to now, or whenever CD comes out

and re: Zakk Wylde's period in GNR, I think I remember reading somewhere about Axl was playing more guitar during that time or something..and how his guitar rig / pedal setup was like a spaceship or a jet

[Neemo]

I'd like to here that shit....Zakk rules, but since Axl has part say in what is released and what isn't then it prolly will never see the light of day

[Megaguns]

That would be some cool shit to hear. Surely it will surface some day, like the beatles songs did decades after. Hopefully in my lifetime.

[Bumblefeet]

Axl said what Slash recorded back then was the best stuff he ever heard from him...

but did we not get to sample some of this in its 5 o clock somewhere/ was some of the riffs ans stuff in that taken from late gnr stuff b4 he left, no?

[Butch Français]

The main question would be if any vocals were ever recorded. I remember this from along time ago, but dont remember if Axl mentioned the progress.

right, my guess is there's no vocals on them. or if there is, it's probably Duff singing.

listen to the very last piano ballad on the last BLS cd, that solo is amazing.

You haven't heard The Hangover Music, have you?


BTW I don't understand why it was moved to the Dead Horse since none of us knew before that Duff has the recordings.

God I LOVE that album!!

My recollection is that everything Zakk did with the band was limited to the Autumn of 1995- which was they were actually all back together for the first time since the UYI tour.

I'm guessing the line-up was: Axl, Slash, Duff, Matt, Dizzy, Paul Huge and Zakk.

I believe Axl said that having Zakk around brought some really interesting and great material out of Slash- but Slash HATED the dual lead idea.

1. Axl didn't actually ever "jam". He probably just listened to the guys jamming from time to time.

2. I don't think Dizzy was a part of the Guns N' Roses songwriting machine. He just did piano arrangements, didn't write songs.

3. Paul Huge was an asshole brought in by Axl from nowhere who contributed to Axl's kicking out Matt Sorum (after Matt said to Huge sth like: hey, don't ya ever say sth like that 'bout my friend [Slash that is])

None of the GN'R (apart from Axl) liked him, neither did they know him well. I remember I read somewhere that Slash wasn't even informed about Paul Huge recording a guitar track for  Sympathy For The Devil.

Paul Huge's name did not come up as being part of this jam

God I LOVE that album!!

Me too.

Origen, I think the Zakk sessions are from 94. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure it was just a brief period in 1994/95 after Gilby was gone.

then will it have a southern rock feel to it?

as at that time wasnt he doing pride n glory?

[T_Roxie]

Man, from what Zakk says in the article, it sounds awesome.

This stuck out tho..."as you'll read-that no one should bet on the Axl/Slash partnership breaking up just yet!"

Hahaha... if only he knew what he was saying.  I wish it were true.

Go listen to Book of Shadows which  his solo album and it is an acoutic ablum. Also Hangover is another one but not as good.. BoS will teach you that Zakk a soulful player. Way Beyond Empty, Heaven and Hell, Sold My Soul, Throwin' It All Away, Road Back Home etc.. All amazing songs.

And the stuff he was writing with GnR was hard and heavy. Not southern rock.
