WILL CHINESE DEMOCRACY CONTAIN ALL ORIGINAL SONGS...

[floppyfish27]

Thinking today driving into work and really hadn't put much thought behind it before today... (no comments please)
I was wondering since the track list is not 100% certain if there will contain any cover songs. 
Putting some thought behind it, I do not want any covers on this album, I do want all original music and down the road on let's say the 2nd or 3rd release we can look at a cover or two.   One in mind is "Sailing" which I noticed they had played twice this past year on tour.   I enjoyed the way they covered that song but after so long, I am greedy and want all originals... Would it disappoint if there was a cover on there? 

where does everyone else stand on this subject?

IMO, There will be no covers. After all these years, they better be all originals. ? ?

[AxlsMainMan]

"Sailing" is the only cover Id even be remotely interested in hearing on Chinese Democracy.

[BLS-Pride]

Well with recent rumors.. I'll take a cover song over songs that Axl had to work with a song writer for any day of the week.

[BumbleFinck]

I think it's be cool if they did covers as b sides...but I don't think any should be on the album

[cotis]

I don't think Axl has spent 14 years recording covers

[COMAMOTIVE]

I definitely don't want covers on this record. Maybe, if it's two discs, or 16 + songs, then I could live with one, but even then, it'd have to be something really ass-kicking such as " Achilles Last Stand " or something like that.

I'd much rather have a studio cover of "Sailing" on CD, than "Oh My God"

[freedom78]

While I love the covers they've done in the past, I'd rather see all new material.  I agree that covers might be interesting as b sides, though.

[floppyfish27]

That's where I was on the fence at first... they do a great job covering but we've all waited too long for so called covers..     b side... yeah ok.... or like I said 2nd or 3rd new album release.. fine.. one or two total.... go forward from there..

[Risico]

I wouldn't mind seeing Sailing pop up - That was a cool song.

Anything else though, no way - The GNR catalogue is comprised of way, way, way, way too many covers already.

[gokken]

I agree, if its gonna be a cover on the CD I would love to hear Sailing. I actually hope that Sailing will be on the record, not on the cost that they remove one of the original songs though.

[WARose]

there could be a hidden track....

liquor and whores or...sailing for example. i wouldn`t mind at all

[axlisking]

i think there will be one cover song if and when cd comes out

[floppyfish27]

That would be a disappointment if there was a cover song on an album we've been waiting 4 for so long.   

as Risico said earlier,  "Anything else though, no way - The GNR catalogue is comprised of way, way, way, way too many covers already. "

I would have to agree and that is why I said maybe on the second or third release we could see one or two..

i second that motion, although i'd still prefer neither.  a cover would kind of reduce the epic mystique of "the legendary chinese democracy."

[Orgasmatron]

Doubt Axl would put covers on an album he's slaved over for 9 years or whatever it is.. Besides, in '02 didn't someone say there were no covers on it?

[1badapple]

I'm hoping for all originals. If they wanna include a couple of covers on a bonus disc or something, that'd be cool.

[GNRreunioneventually]

all the tracks on CHINESE DEMOCRACY are original, the track list that we got not to long ago that had, what like 14 songs on it, i think that will be it or something like it. Even though it was only a rumor.

After 16 years between original materials, and with 2 covers on that no less, and a full album of covers, I'm thinking it will be all orignal
