CD Remix

[EmilyGNR]

would be best if a remix had new vocaltracks. i don't like the vocals on madagascar studioversion

that would hands down be the best case scenario. theyd basically be new songs at that point.

i like the idea of duff and slash putting their spin on some songs. people could get the more traditional gnr sounding CD they always wanted, at least on some songs.

We always wanted?  Speak for yourself.  Were the Illusions traditional sounding compared to Appetite?  No, it was different.  Just like Chinese was different from Illusions.  Even with Slash and Duff back in the fold....if your expecting something to sound like it did 25 years ago, you may be dissapointed.  Maybe they WILL create something that sounds like something 25 years ago, but I would expect something different, like GNR has always done.  GNR isn't ACDC, and never was. 

Well said! I enjoy AC/DC but there is no denying they are the very definition of formulated Rock.

I remember when the Illusions were released some people were even complaining then that it didn't sound like Appetite- and that was before the internet was popular!

I assume that they have not yet released the remix album because there also songs from the second half of Chinese Democracy on it.

you could be onto something with that! if that were the case, i wonder how and when it would be released? If CD 2 is indeed the second half of CD, maybe someday well see both halves sold together as a set. That sounds like a good time to include the remix as part of the set.

It's just a guess, but I think the remix album is Part 3 of the trilogy. With remixes from the first and second half of CD.

i can see how my post might have given off an unintended sentiment.

i love cd how it is and was never one of those people complaining it didnt sound like old guns. id love to see slash and duffs spin on things though (or honestly, anyones spin on things for that matter. huge evader fan). if some of it happens to sound more like classic guns (which is what most people seemed to want, and who i was referring to by "they"), that wouldnt be a dealbreaker for me, and id be happy for the people that could find a new enjoyment out of it.

in case my opinion of cd isnt obvious based off of everything ive ever said about it, its my favorite album. and by a large margin.

Sooo......... the previous posts were deleted because when Axl decides in 100 years to issue ChD remix, the sales will be affected because somebody on a fan internet forum mentioned a remixed twenty-second snippet of an already known and heard song? Ridiculous.

[Voodoochild]

That was from the Revolver Magazine interview in 2014, don't remember him talking about it on TV- do you have a source, or link?

Not right now, but I'll look for that later. I think I saw on YouTube

Yeah, I didn't find it. I think I'm getting old and mistook it for something else, sorry. 

[jarmo]

Ridiculous.

Yes you are.

Care to elaborate? I don?t see any harm in talking about stuff on a forum, whether it?s an old short remix teaser or anything else.

[jarmo]

I do.
As far as I know, those tracks don't belong to you or me. So it's not up to us to decide when they should be released and how.

That kind of discussions only lead to you and your friends requesting info on how to obtain whatever it is you're trying to discuss.
It quickly becomes stupid and therefore it's better to just say "no". 

Anyway, maybe that makes no sense to you, but I believe those tracks belong to somebody else and I have very little interest in spreading copyrighted material, that's possibly intended for future release.

Fair enough.

2 disc set.

Disc 1, the rerecorded Appetite that Axl did with Bucket and Co.
Disc 2. Chinese remixed with contributions from Slash and Duff.

A weird but oddly fitting way to bring the two eras together.

Not something that would happen in a million years, but still.

very cool idea!

disc 3, live tracks done in the same way (chinese stuff with duff and slash and appetite stuff with bucket and co.)

[norway]

Anyone hear think that CD remix would include the '2nd half of chinese'?

[SharkOfLargo]

I kinda like the idea of a remix of CD, but only if Slash and Duff are involved in it.  I'd be very interested to hear the differences they'd bring to the record.

However, despite liking the idea a little, I'd much rather hear a new record from the band.  I have no doubt that there is a ton of material they could record to make many records, not just one.

I'll be keeping everything crossed for some sort of official release in the not too distant future.

Leave CD as is... A great fuckin? album.

Now, lets move on.

ChinDem Remix Lost

 

[Wooody]

I agree with this.
I actually believe there must have been a version of the recorded song with clean vocals instead of the raspy one.

Something tells me that Axl read online comments online like ''Axl give me some rasp!" and changed the vocals on Madagascar.
BIG MISTAKE.

[D-GenerationX]

Still have very little interest in remixes of an 8 year old album.

Slash and Duff on the tracks adds at least something of an interesting angle.  But I still think their time and effort could be put to better use.

Such as, for example, if you wanted to put Slash and Duff on the as yet unheard CD II.  That makes more sense to me than yet another version of 'This I Love'.

[jamillos22]

No way, Slash and Duff should create new music with the rest of the band. ChinDem is a different approach, different era, different band? If Izzy?s in, I think we?re about to hear some great new piece of art!

[GeorgeSteele]

I'm down for a remix, but I don't think the timing is exactly right just now.

Sure, ideally. 

But we know Axl's pace.  If they are starting fresh, when does that come out?  2025?
