The Other New Song Titles Axl Confirmed (CD2)

[sofine11]

Does anyone think we'll still hear these songs?  Ron stated in an interview that he recorded on "a good handful" of tracks that did not end up on Chinese Democracy.  Does anyone think that during the down time DJ has done some recording and put his mark on any of the songs listed below, or possibly others?

I know there's no reason to believe that a new album is around the corner, but I do hope we'll still hear these songs some day, especially when you consider that Axl said he views Chinese Democracy as a double album, meaning we've only heard half of the equation!

Axl confirmed all of the below songs but 'Beta's Barn', which Chris Pitman stated is his favorite unreleased track.

Atlas Shrugged
Thyme
Seven
Soul Monster (Leave Me Alone)
The General
Silkworms
Beta's Barn
Quick Song
Down By The Ocean
Berlin (Oklahoma)
Zodiac
Ides Of March
Oh My God (newer version)
Jackie Chan (Checkmate)

Dang I had a thread either here or another board listing all the song titles that were confirmed (most of them in the Axl chats)... and I sure hope we'll see them!

Also, the full title of Soul Monster is the coolest sounding thing ever. Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul. Sounds like a sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep

Anyhow I could do without Silkworms and Oh My God since we've heard them already but I'm more than ready for the rest.

You know what I always thought would be cool?  If Axl rereleased Chinese D as a double album, with the other album cover(s), new art, & corrected lyrics and new album all in one.   I think that would be an amazing sendoff to the Chinese Democracy Era. 

That said, I would take new GNR music any way I can get it. 

[Gavgnr]

Man I would love to even believe that one day we will hear the other half of the Chinese Democracy sessions.

Chinese is, for me, the finest album I have ever heard and it's amazing to think there's 12 or so more tracks just sitting there waiting to be drooled over! lol

At this point I'm just hoping for at least one new song at Rio 

Anything else would be the stuff of dreams

The TRUE...

Not My Interesed

 

[sofine11]

to think there's 12 or so more tracks just sitting there waiting to be drooled over! lol

My thoughts exactly.  And what's cool is that this time around, other than maybe Silkworms, we have no idea what these songs are going to sound like.   

When CD came, although it was amazing, we heard many of the songs live since 2001, not to mention the leaks that followed.  Axl's done a good job of keeping the followup album underwraps.   And yes, the thought of 12-14 brand-spankin-new GNR tracks is a lot to take in.

Have these titled been confirmed?

I think I heard of Atlas Shrugged being mentioned in an interview a decade or so ago.

[sofine11]

Yes, Axl confirmed all of those titles during his chats.   

Edit: Though he did say the titles are subject to change without warning, ala The Blues/Street of Dreams.   Also, there's allegedly A LOT more songs than what he confirmed here.  We really have no idea what's going to go on the next album when/if it comes out.

[Stoned_In_L.A.]

Yes, Axl confirmed all of those titles during his chats.   

I see ...

To answer your first question, it would be nice.

When was the last time Axl mentioned releasing these songs?

When was the last time Axl mentioned releasing these songs?

During his chats in December of 2008, right after CD came out, he talked about some of the songs, like how they were trying to get the mix right on Atlas, Silkworms doesn't have the same chorus & has a lot of guitars, Soul Monster was the band's most "Black Sabbath" moment, and teased that we may have heard parts of The General somewhere. (Later it was confirmed that they play part of The General as the intro music when they play live.)

Axl told a fan that he was considering releasing it "Same bat time, same bat channel next year.(2009)" But obviously that didn't work out.

He was asked about it again during Del's interview a few months later, but seemed to not want to talk about it and didn't say much, stating that he doesn't know & doesn't care when the next album's coming, as he wanted to concetrate on Chinese for a good bit.   That was the last time it was brought up. 

It's been only rumors since then.

titles change..I recallCircus magazine running an article w/ song titles "Why do you look at me wehen you hate me"-Get In The Ring, "Keep Smiling"_Dead Horse etc..

[Halo69]

 Nice thread 

You also have those made up song titles by MSL.

[shadyklyde]

Not that its confirmed or anything but he said There isnt a track called Checkmate, and then made a wink face. Idk how i remember that from all the way back then lol.

Anyways, i hope new Guns tracks do get released. That would be great.

[Spirit]

Not that its confirmed or anything but he said There isnt a track called Checkmate, and then made a wink face.

He then said the working title was "Jackie Chan".

[Jacksnazzy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Axl said that was a bogus title.
