The official "IRS" discussion.

[Pandora]

Please stop flooding threads with requests for the songs. Soon we will have 5 different 20-page threads full of that and it will be unmanageable. If you really want them, contact people privately and I'm sure someone will be willing to give them to you.

[Saul]

Wanna know why the links were posted? Cause we're hungry and fed up and starting a revolution baby! Fuck the street teams , we are gunna come together as one like thinking unit and storm the record studios and axl's mansion and the sanctuary offices , we're gunna kick down doors , bust windows , heads are gunna roll and we're gunna walk away with the master tapes and nobodys gunna stop us.

Stand up and fight the tyranny , cover ups and silence , people will hear music this year cause we're taking it into our hands!!! PM me for details!

The revolution starts now!!!!!


LOL , not really ... These songs just make me so hyper , what a sight though , every board member bumrushing studios and record label offices? Hahaha. I've gone out of my mind and it feels so much better then it did yesterday

[jmapelian]

personally i don't give a fuck where they cam from as i have them now

who knows, the band may have let them be posted for a few hours, let as many people get there hands on them as possible, than issue the usual cease and desist orders and making people remove all links, etc........just to get a sense of the overall feedback of the songs

If anyone from the band, label, amanegement is reading this, they should see the overall feedback is very positive and there is a very large demand for new GnR material

Last night after midnight in the East Coast, there were about 100 people on this thread; not to mention the traffic on other GnR sites when this was happening

One of the guys who uploaded it had over 1500 downloads in less than 12 hours and it wasn't even on a GnR board

And as far as Merck not wanting any mention, link, etc of the leak; if the album would just be released, or a single from the album would just be released to tide fans over, or a statment of some kind with some kind of plans for the band, anicipated release date, etc., I could see fans being a bit more respectful of their wishes.  As it stands now, i'd say it's just too fucking bad it was leaked  , it's only been 7 years since we heard original material (and O My God sucked) and over 14 years since we had an album of original material

If you play the first 20 seconds backwards you can clearly hear Axl singing " Axl is Dead"

[Jonathan]

Uhm....................

[jmapelian]

well, you can listen to it backwards, and I'll just listen to it regular

[Saul]

wonder how many will try this? 

[anythinggoes]

if you listen to Jumpin Jack Flash at the beginning you can hear Elvis is Dead Coincidence

[Saul]

hahah , I just did it for a goof and I guess cause I was looking for it and all there is something there that kinda sounds like axl is dead. hahahaha   

[Saul]

*mods*

Here, here!   

[SLCPUNK]

I don't know how you can make a final judgement yet. Since it is just a demo over the internet.

[erose]

i don't see anyone making a final judgement here...

After listening both songs it?s quite clear that Buckethead is not playing on I.R.S , the amazing solo he played on the end of the old versi?n has been removed,the solo now sounds like Robin trying to emulate Bucket, anyway the song it?s superb , it?s a very different version from the  one  with poor sound that  surfaced  early on, so I like specially  the begining  with that  Blind Melon acoustic feeling , and the guitar driving end with Axl screaming his nuts.
The  clip of Better is to short to judge if Bucket?s parts  have been deleted, but we can?t find any of the freak effects that Buckethead used to add to the GNR songs , and the intro seemed a good place to add some of the funky vibe that he played so fine, but this song rocks so much , i can?t wait to hear the final version, because it finish right when starts what promised to be the best part of the song, and the best song   that any related GNR musician have recorded for the past 14 years.
Except for the drum machine, these songs must be  much more than demos , and the guitars and vocal tracks seem almost finished,  so they must be recorded or re-recorded after 2004 BH leaving.

[Pinball Wizard]

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

Oh yeah, Brain is great! I love his job at Primus! I just don't know why a lot of fans don't like him!

[JustWckd]

Its a drum machine.  Bands don't use real drums until the final cuts b/c drums are the most expensive, tedious and time consuming part of recording...

[davemason72]

hmmmm it sounded like Buckethead to me.

[Saul]

Thats Bucket doing the second solo on IRS. 

[Pinball Wizard]

I also think it's BH!

[Mikkamakka]

Thats Bucket doing the second solo on IRS.?

No, Dizzy's playing that. Or maybe Axl. But definietely not BH.
