With axl tinkering on it he fucked it up to the point the original intent of how the flow and each song sounded was gone. CD will go down in history as a mish mash or a springboard of what could have been. CD does have so much on it you can’t help think where it could go. I get the same feeling from the Natural Born Killers or Lost Highway soundtracks. But CD is still more focused than that. It’s like a UNKLE album.

It’s really a kaleidoscopic retro 90s album made in the 00s. That retro element is very GNR too. Can you give me a time stamp for what you mean when you say "the oooh in Chi Dem"? The retro 90s album comment is very interesting. I guess another example could be the outro of Prostitute. I've always thought of it as similar to the outro on Locomotive just remixed by Moby. If I'm understating your point that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm understating your point that is. Both. Retro 90s in style like AFD is 70s in style. But also like you say a lot of the songs echo old GNR songs. Each one has a older sister. Time stamp on Oooh on Chi dem 1:36-1:39. It’s not that obvious, I heard it on a live Boston 1999 vrsion i think.

So much of the mix is missed and underappreciated without a closer listen. Absolutely this. One of the reasons I like Chinese Democracy is that it feels that I still, after 10 years, hear new things when listening to it. I have really started to appreciate the production on CD during the last couple of years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
