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?

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

then answer me this... would you be disappointed if it did...    that is where I am going with it all...
peace!

I hope there isn't any covers,
because people are already starting to get sick of the leaks, and even a few don' want the leaks to be on the album;
so I dont think anyone wants Axl to have any covers...

'nuff said.

Or he could release a cd after this of all covers titled the Lo Mein incident
wow im an idiot

I would assume it's all original. No one knows for sure. I wouldn't be disappointed if it contained a high quality cover on it.

[Mr. Redman]

Eh. Who cares? Axl does what Axl wants to do. Deal with it.

[bazgnr]

I'll be disappointed by a cover song, no matter how good it may be.  After such a long wait, I only want to hear new, orginal GnR music.

If there were to be a cover, count on axl to choose something that the majority of the general public will not know very well..

[Robman?]

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.

what are you talking about? "recent rumors" 

Have you heard any of the new songs? I guess not...

Yeah you're right.. I never heard any of the new songs or saw the band in 2002. Why am I on a Gn'R forum?! I don't even like rock and roll.

Yep, thanks for confirming.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Why do these little fan boys feel the need to try and start shit with me?

[doooodickiebr]

all original

Yes, infact I do know what I'm talking it about.

Its you that I'm having a hard time understanding. Your orginal post indicates that you would rather hear a cover than a song written by Axl Rose. You also state that Axl has written all of his recent songs with a songwriter. This is most likely not the case, and your post fails to elaborate on that point, hence my original question - "what are you talking about?"

I regret to inform you that none of these "fan boys," as you put it, try to "start shit with you." The negativity of your orignal post encouraged me to respond and ask what you were talkiing about. My post was met with sarcasm on your part, therefor resulting in sarcasm on my part. You overlooked my orginal question with your remark - "Do you know what you're talking about?"

[BLS-Pride]

Bro please. Show me where it says all songs written with help of a song writer and your little case is valid. There is a rumor that Axl was working with a song writer(s) to help out on some songs.. Did I say all? No I did not. I'm sure you read about it at some point and I'm sure you knew what I was talking about but this is just you trying to get attention or whatever just like all your other bullshit posts. So, this is over and to not ruin this thread anymore I'm done with you.

And its a cover song over a song Axl needed to hire help for.. How did you miss that? Oh yeah you starting shit.

[Robman?]

I had just left this thread, then you edited your post 

I think we should have left it at the sarcasm 

Please link me up with the rumor of Axl hiring help. Plus, if someone had an idea to go along with an existing one, to make a song better and more engaging to the listener, I'm all for it. Theres no point being against a good song, no matter who its written by.

Please link me up with the rumor of Axl hiring help.

Well, you know that's not possible here, don't you.

exactly, so its not true.

[acdcUSSR]

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

Dude, I was seriously thinking about this today. Sailing would be a great cover for the album. But that's it for now...

Doesn't mean it's not true, it just means the powers-that-be here have deemed it unmentionable. We couldn't talk about the Harley ad, yet it posted on Harley's Web site for a day at least. We couldn't talk about the Del James article, but it was on GNR's own Web site.

No, sir, just because we aren't allowed to talk about things here doesn't make it not true.

Is it true? I don't know. You don't know. Only Axl knows and maybe a few others.

I agree. I might be true, it might not. We'll see.
