Voodoochild Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The accoustic sounds are a lot like some Northeastern Brazilian music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavgnr Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 An interesting take on the original....but new music's where it's at honey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraMPD Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Love the acoustic sounds and the heavy beats but otherwise... dreadful...Sounds like whoever mixed this was high. Reminds me of My World type of "experimentation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettytiedup88 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I really hope this is not a legit release. Its completely pointless, its disjointed, doesnt flow and is a million miles away from the reason I love this band. Sad day if it does turn out to be official.

rjm631 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Was at the bar gossip for pre Gnr concert party and whatnot. Heard versions of shacklers, better, and blues that I never heard before. There was a lot of acoustic in the blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Now you see why Axl says we're not ready to hear his new music yet? People would flip out for a "stripped down" remix that took away half the parts in each song to make it sound simpler but they've got no patience for the experimental.I really hope this is not a legit release. Its completely pointless, its disjointed, doesnt flow and is a million miles away from the reason I love this band. Sad day if it does turn out to be official.If that is legit it's awful.

It's not the stripped down feel of the remix that people are having a backlash to.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 You will all love it eventually. Like Shackler's Revenge, everyone hated it to begin with. These songs grow on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) All right, I just downloaded this and played it out of my big speakers. It's legit. You can tell comparing it against fan remixes and demos and stuff. Also sounds a lot better on the big speakers. I do have a lot of weird experimental tastes, but I think you might find yourself liking it after a few more listens.Also played it right after the original. There's a ton of parallels even in the stuff that sounds totally different. That hip hop beat is pretty much the same drum pattern as the original. The wedding organ thing is substituting for the synth in the original. Edited February 11, 2012 by Flayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If it's a fake, it's a damn interesting one anyway. It sounds like the same style as Tonto. Also, I've now decided I like "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpster4183 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 couldn't someone have just took the vocal tracks from rock band and just make their own remix? It sounds way to low budget to be legit for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think that remix is flat out awful. They ruined the song.Wow, it's bad. That can NOT be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR Chris Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Flayer, I gave it a couple listens. It's SO bad. It doesn't flow. I've seen other Gn'R remixes or mashups or whatever that sounded much better. Even that guy who mashes VR with Gn'R and Izzy/Slash solo stuff.My, oh, my. I didn't necessarily want remixes, but I wouldn't mind them if they were still straight up GUNS N' ROSES type stuff.Yeah, Axl at one time said we weren't ready for some style of songs that they were working on. But at the same time, I think that's not giving fans enough credit. I know a shit song/remix when I hear one, and that "Better" is it. I think it woulda been cool had Axl recorded different versions of Appetite back in the late '90s rather than doing a straight forward re-record. I like the "Mr. Brownstone" intro they do at live shows, for example.Anyway ...Please don't let this be real. From the metal-sludge link, it gives it a little authenticity, b ut at the same time, someone could have seen that link and then remixed Better to fit into the storyline that all that material was hacked/stolen.

axlsalinger Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It definitely sounds to me like it's professionally mixed, and something that Brain would do. Can't say I love it but it is interesting ... while it plays at one point it says Guns n' Roses - Chinese Democracy: The Remixes. Could this be an upcoming release? Or a companion disc to a CD re-release?Where/when?It appears on top of the pic in the youtube video at 0:44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
