An interesting thought

[GNRBABY]

I think it will be on the album, no reason for it not to be. The Blind Melon issue with soup was a bit different, only because there is sooooo much hype surrounding "Chinese Democracy" - it should be on the record and I think "Better" will be the 1st single on raido with "The Blues" as 2nd single

I still don't follow.? Keep in mind other examples;

Led Zeppelin - The song "Houses of the Holy" doesn't appear on the album proper. It was recorded during those sessions but not released until "Physical Graffitti". And, that song rocks!

Dokken (A lesser example) - The song "Back for the Attack" was stricken from the album by the same name. It wasn't strong enough.

It could happen, it's not impossible like you're saying. My gut feeling tells me it will be on CD because the band had persisted to play it live. If it had been dropped from the current NY/CA and Euro 2006 tours then I would be more inclined to agree with you.

Efish, what the hell else did you "hear" about the tracklist?

[Bumblefeet]

I think that CD(the song) is good even if it is a slight copy of TNT

It will be interesting to see whether songs played way back in 2001/2002 are going to make it on the record. As unthinkable as it may seem, I could see Axl dropping even Madagascar from the record just because it has been circulated so much over that past five years (wow, can you believe that song is already five years old?). The only reason I say this is because he did say that they have a whole bunch of songs and even if they are not as good as Madagascar, Axl might want to make it so that the entire album is fresh.

If I had to put money on it, I'd bet that Madagascar will be on the record, but I'm just saying that with the large amount of songs Axl could pick from he could leave it off.

Or they could give us 13 new songs plus the ones we heard in 02. That would be better.

Chinese Democracy will be on the album. They have played it on both tours fairly continously. Plus they have clearly worked on the song a lot over the last 4 years, what with the new intro. I was never a big fan of the song live. Thought it was a bit generic. But the studio clip did sound amazing on the Boston Promo. IRS, Madagascar, Blues, Better, There Was A Time, Sorry will be there also. Assuming The General and Prostitute make it, that is already most of the album that we know. The one slightly annoying thing, is that we will already have heard nearly half the album before it comes out. Maybe they should have left IRS off to make room for some more brand new songs.

It shows shows how good the album is going to be that they can consider leaving Catcher In The Rye off.

I think that chinese democracy (the song) will be featured on the album as it is the title track ..... other wise there would be little point in calling the album "Chinese Democracy"

Maybe so, maybe not. Foo Fighters released an album called 'Colour and the Shape'. The title track was dropped from the album and ended up on a single, Monkey Wrench or Everlong.

from what ive heard of CHINESE DEMOCRACY (the song) so far i think it sucks ultra ass, but an 'insider'(not a fake one) said it would be track 1.

yeah i was that insider

Nope, it was BIg boss from sp1at. and i dont think he guessed, like you did.?

but sure, most of what he's said before was bullshit but i think this time he's telling the truth.

Wait a sec. This email was sent in July. It says CD "will be announced at the end of next month," i.e. August. Which didn't happen. Which pretty much puts in doubt everything else that BigBoss said. Even if he's right about the November release date, he's just repeating what Axl said on the Trunk show. So basically that post is bullshit.

[babydolls]

i am aching to hear the studio version of t.w.a.t and interested in Rhiad studio - as its the only new song that I really didnt like much when I heard it live in 2002.

I used to feel that way too. It's grown on me more through the years. I especially love the part from "You think you got it all locked up inside" on.

Going back to CITR - didn't Fortus reply to someone's email saying that it WOULD be on the album?!

I'm sure there's a massive thread with all his replies on and it was in there.... obviously things change, but I'm optimistic it will be on there - I'll be gutted if it's not....

I think Axl even said (a long time ago) that songs like The Blues or Madagascar wouldn't be on the album but would be B-Sides Or might not be on it

Is that right or am I mixing things up ? I'm almost pretty sure I've read that back in the day.

Altough these days I'm sure Madagascar will be on it. Axl & the band know that the fans like the song.

I think Better, TWAT, Madagascar and IRS will be on the album. Not sure about Chinese Democracy and Rhiad.

And it's a shame that Catcher In The Rye is apparently going to be missing ...

[Longpig]

He said something along the lines of they're not playing any SINGLES, not that the tracks wouldn't be on the album.

And as for CITR - I think ti will be there, but with Brian May's part re-recorded by Robin/Richard.

Oh yeah, that's right My bad

There's so many things/speculations arround the album that I'm getting confused
