Popular Post sidman69 Posted January 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2019 Last friday we chatted with Dave Dominguez about his time working on Chinese Democracy in 1998. He shared some stories about also working with Slash on the Curdled Movie soundtrack a few weeks before he quit GNR. He also recorded with Duff and Izzy as well. He also chatted about visiting Axl's house and what those early recording sessions with Mike clink were like in the late 90's! Discussion starts around 10-12 minutes into the interview. Enjoy! We've got another big interview coming next week with someone who worked with GNR back in the day! 8 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pele Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Interesting re. This I Love. He says he had the original version with the old band and it's a completely different song. He says it ended with Axl whispering 'I love Stephanie' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pele Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Dave says the only songs he really remembers were IRS and Oklahoma (and Axl playing the original recording of This I Love). He mentions Oklahoma twice but they don't ask if there were any lyrics/vocals..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisrocks Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I love this podcast and the insight into Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalibusMostWanted Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Great interview. This was probably the dude that originally leaked the Halloween party details to the New York Times or Rolling Stone back in the day. Didn’t one of those articles mention Axl dressing up as Barney? Also, around the 48:20 mark, when everyone is talking about Axl playing video games, all three guys mention “it could have been his ____ room. It sounds like they’re saying his “alley” room... What room are they saying / talking about? Edited January 17, 2019 by MalibusMostWanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallex78 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I wish he could’ve shed some further light on the stuff that Slash/Izzy/Duff/Taz recorded, or worked on, and what it sounded like... Wasn’t that rumoured to be the best sounding GN’R album, instrumentally? Edited January 17, 2019 by metallex78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that is some Prince level shit going on there lol Prince did the exact same thing with a song called Wally, had an emotional recording session and that night when it finished asked the engineer to erase it Would have loved to hear the old lineup do TIL, with Axl's 90's voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a time to follow orders and time for disobedience. This was the time for the second. I am sure Axl would love to have the original recording today. Use pro tools and delete that last 5 s of Axls vocal, but do not delete the whole song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumandraisin Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 A very interesting insight into the non-start of 1998. It was until late 98 that Prostitute, Madagascar and a few others started to come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd always be out late a-drinkin' You'd always let it go down Now she's gone, why you bleedin'...let it go You gotta know better now you're older This ain't the end of the world So get off your ass and get over her Let it go Let it go Whatcha dyin' about, ya gotta let it go No need to be crying for her man, come on now You should know Now time has passed, you're an old man Way up there high on the hill Back on the streets it ain't changed much Yeah I know Let it go Whatcha dyin' about, ya gotta let it go No need to be cryin' for her man, come on now You should know 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t that rumoured to be the best sounding GN’R album, instrumentally? i believe that this "best instrumental GNR album" talk (slash) came from different sessions that izzy, slash and duff did many years later. if i am not mistaken it was a bit before velvet revolver but i can be mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 50:30 I "hear" something like "Where do you come from?" but I first had to find a list with all his songs to compare it with ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_nummers_van_Elvis_Presley ) Could this be the song ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeperilsofrockNRollDekednz Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks for the posts. Those guys are true GNR fans with quality research. The problem with being a busy parent is that I don’t get much time to watch the interview so any synopsis and bullet points are much appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
