Really? wasn't "chicken dinner" a 2004 version?

[abaraxas]

dunno but i agree his playing on the song chinese democracy,IRS and Rhiad sort of ruins those songs for me
(lucky theres the antiquiet sss)

[Max_Power]

I have all their 'demos' 

[chacalula]

i personally love his solo stuff,but i hate his job in cd...

he ruins song like catcher,riad...

[Max_Power]

Why can't they use just 1, really talented guitarist, or tone that shit down a bit. Having a their guitar player is really, really unnecessary

[abaraxas]

seems dumber when Buckethead had already recorded his parts-why get someone else to replace them,playing pretty much the same thing???

Axl's a cock tease

I just can't agree with you guys on the song "Chinese Democracy". I love what Bumblefoot added to it. He made that song a lot better in my opinion. And about Riad, Buckethead is still the one soloing in it. So I don't know what you guys are talking about. (I don't have the demo)
I also like what he added to IRS. Although I think that song could be better, I still prefer the album version over the demo I had.

And no Max, Chicken Dinner was not a 2004 version. It was Bumblefoot soloing in it since the first demo came out in August 2008. The leak already was Bumblefoot.

Id heard the song chinese democracy since it was played in 2001-and then when the album comes out its got all that stuff tacked onto it?
Franks drums also ruin that one for me.
The leak of IRS doesnt have all that noodling all through it-what I presume is Buckethead had a little hook thing that totally rocked thats now mostly buried in Rons noodling that for me-goes nowhere.
Rhiad: the solo before the outro is different-it jsut isnt as good as the leak.
I dont see the problem in leaving the recordings alone-I would accept Ron as a member regardless of whether he played on the album or not(I mean he didnt write any of it-did he?)

No, Chicken Dinner was the Rock Band version of the song.

I agree, the version with Josh Freese (?) Was the greatest, and Axl's voice sounds more raw and pure than the version with his whiny screechy voice layered on top of it.
I loved the very first version of IRS, the one with the acoustic guitar in the beginning, Riad as also one of my favorite songs before Ron came in.

the only songs ive heard with josh have been irs,catcher and twat

[Max_Power]
