marco beltrami talks about the work he for GN'R (old 2003 interview)

[GNRreunioneventually]

hey all

just came from CD.com and found this. Just wanted to pass it along -

IGN: Since we're talking about rock musicians, what was the deal with you arranging some orchestral sections for the impending Guns N Roses album?

Marco Beltrami: That was sort of just work for hire. I guess they'd heard some of my orchestral music of mine. I met with Axl and he played me these songs, asked me my ideas about them, and I told him what I thought they needed. They gave me four songs to orchestrate. A couple of them I did more than orchestrating, I actually wrote some melodies and stuff. It was a fun project. I really enjoyed it. The music was eclectic and at the time that I was doing it there were no lyrics on the songs that I was working on. People ask me about the album and I really have no idea about the release. I thought it was coming out last September. I'm the wrong person to ask about that.

IGN: He came to you with the tracks then, so you weren't ever in the studio with the musicians or anything like that

Marco Beltrami: No, they had finished tracks. On one song I actually wrote a guitar part, but they pretty much had the band tracks down and then I added orchestral stuff on top of it.

IGN: What songs were they, by chance?

Marco Beltrami: A song called "Seven," which is the one that I did the most work on, I actually did some writing on. There was one called "Thyme," one called "The General," one called "Leave Me Alone."

July 18, 2003 - Here's Part 2 of our interview with composer Marco Beltrami, whose most recent work can be heard in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

I'd say that info is a bit out of date.

Never heard about it. Unless it was from some fake insider like people interviewed by Splat, I don't there's really a source for this work on Rhiad.

It may have, tho. IRS has some cool orchestral work too.
