The official "IRS" discussion.

[erose]

This can't be the finished mixed song because the drumming doesn't fit the songs. Please don't tell me they're gonna use a drum machine for the album. IRS sounds great but the drumming just doesn't fit the song at all!! Sounds like Guns N Roses with Depeche Mode beats lol

i thought the same, i never thought too much about drumming in general, but this song really got me thinking...

it will be better tho hence this is just a demo!

How did this all happen anyway?

Did mygnr get permission to post these in the beginning?

A new poster called "Wes" came to MyGNR and claimed that he had three CD quality songs.? IRS, Better and TWAT.

We ended up with IRS and an extract from Better.? ?Not sure if a full Better exists or if TWAT exists.

But did they get permission to post them? I find it odd that they would post them directly on their forum without permission considering how illegal that is

That's a fine line. ? MyGNR didn't post the thread. ?The links to the files were distributed by the users. ? The files themselves were never posted on MyGNR and AFAIK the links to the files were never posted by the MyGNR staff. ? Ditto on HTGTH I believe.

Obviously in any forum where posts are not queued for moderation before posting there is always an element of risk and you're always in "clean-up" mode.

It's not drums, it's beats.
When the "real" drums start to rock, it's great. Brain is very good.

Well, i think they did it over PM, on the boards.. i dont know if they posted direct links... or did thay? Anyway... kind of sad actually! We need info from the managment now! And stop this leaking! i really dont like new GNR songs leak. i want them on CD! not a poor demo downloaded from internet

[Guns N RockMusic]

Really, what can management expect? ?They give us no info and every other month we've heard it's coming soon for the past few years. ?How can they expect us to respect their wishes when they don't respect us enough to have some simple form of communication. ?No other band out there has had to put up with the shit that the GN'R community has and we're the most loyal bar none.

That's cool then ?

These games need to stop. either release the album, drop axl from the label, or shut the fuck up.

I find it odd too, especially considering that IRS has been taboo to even mention on mygnr since the poor quality leak last year. ?Now, all of a sudden, it is not only "ok" to talk about it, but they allowed links to a studio quality version of the same song. ?Were the admins allowing it to be posted until they had *confirmation* that these tracks were indeed GNR?

It's obvious this is a higher quality version of the exact same song that was leaked last year...so if Management told them to remove all IRS leaks last year for a poor quality copy, why wouldn't the same hold true for a studio quality leak of the same song?

It doesn't make sense to me unless there is more to this leak that they are letting on.

[Dont Try Me]

I guess they allowed it cause there was no stopping to it.... beyond control..

[Howard2k]

I don't think it's really a question of "permission" or "allowing".

Neither here nor MyGNR queue posts for moderation before posting so users can post what the hell they want.

There is nothing that either forum could do to stop me posting a link to the entire Chi-Dem CD if I had it.  All they can do it try to manage the posts and contact the "officials" to get direction.

[The Dog]

Did anyone who sent the songs/clips to their radio stations ever hear back from them?  Did any of the stations actually play bits and pieces of songs??

[SonofAGun]

Someone should send the clips to David Lee Roth. He wouldnt know any better and would play this thing.

[RyboFlavin]

Maybe, but I was following mygnr closely for a couple hours leading up the the initial leak post. ? There were many, many threads started by people claiming to have heard the track. ?Madison (the admin) would, within, minutes delete the threads and tell people "Do not make posts claiming to have heard the song, unless you have a link to the actual song". ?Thus, almost encouraging people to post the links to download the song. ? ?They *could* have deleted the download links just as quickly as they were deleting the other posts that came prior to the leak if they wanted to.

Maybe the site admins are getting tired of the run-a-round too and they want to push managements buttons as far as they can. ?Who knows.

While the songs are the most important thing to me...I must say I am REALLY interested to know where these came from, who leaked them and how did they aquire the songs in the first place?  how long were they sitting on them? 

My guess is we'll never really know.  Part of me feels like it was intentional (the timing just seems really coincidental) but then again it seems Axl is pretty guarded when it comes to any leaks.  I don't know.  Can anyone shed some light on to this? if not I'm just going to listen to these songs for the 1,000,000 time!  Rock on dudes.

[VRslash]

IMO the new irs leak isnt realy a leak. Axl released it. every band has thos songs they do that dont make it to CD but there alwas there. i think IRS n Better are just that. in 10 years Axl could have and probly has mastered like 5 CDs worthy of the title end less classic. i mean look at To Pac. yeah hes a faggot rapper but hes been dead for ever and new matterial he worked on keeps surfaceing. i think that these songs are from the bottem of the list and Axl let it be aired once on the radio a few years ago to shake shit up a little cause he new he has somthing special and now he throws out a good quality verson just before the release of his album. hes recreating the excitment that was here 8 years ago. makeing people want GNR so bad that cant fucking live with out it. to me a leak of the same song twice seems thought out. and two songs at once is like a gift from god. most of the time things are to good to be true. i think that Axl is the kind of person that would do somthing just like this.

[pewing33ny]

can someone send me what i'm missing.  i woke up and am going crazy because i can't hear the new stuff i've been waiting years for.

email is pewing33ny@aol.com or AIM pewing33ny

The most likely situation seems to be that these are the so-called Trunk songs. ? It was often speculated that they high quality versions might find their way onto the net someday. ? Yesterday was someday.

I don't think it's a "sneak" release by the band or anything like that.

Agree about the source.....but who leaked them? how did they get the CD to begin with? And why yesterday when the Trunk CD has been out for a few years now?  Why can't people send me CDs with leaked songs on them? haha.

Like I said, if I never know the answer to those ?s I won't lose any sleep, the fact that I have the songs is all I really care about, but it'd still be nice to know.
