no, the only thing that has ever leaked were 5 Brain remixes of ChiDem songs (Shackler, ITW, TIL, Better ("Better Gone") and Prostitute ("Blood in The Water")) of the alleged 6 songs Brain remixed back then. if you heard some "classic rock remix of OMG", it was almost certainly a fake.
Well, there was a snippet of the Bumblefoot OMG version at the time that came along with the first remix snippets. Maybe you mean that one?
#132 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who leaked these songs and why? » 347 weeks ago
Back in the very early 2000s (before The Project and the VR sessions) Izzy recorded a solo album with Duff and Slash that has never seen the light of day.
Slash said that he wrote and recorded a total of five songs with Stradlin in November around the holidays, but the songs still require about a day's worth of "fixing," as well as background vocals. Meanwhile, McKagan said that he's laid down the bass tracks for an album's worth of songs in two different sessions in November and December at a studio in Los Angeles.
"Me and Slash are just the session guys, man," McKagan said, laughing. "I just went in and did bass tracks for the first three songs in an hour and kept at it."
Izzy then went on and released 'On Down The Road' instead. Also a couple of years before 'Fire' there was talk of an acoustic album that never surfaced and I think at some point there even was talk of a Rarities collection.
Izzy from a Q&A with the Izzy fan board back in the day:
6. Is there any chance that some unreleased projects (acoustic album, Slash/Duff album etc.) will see the daylight some day?
yes,i have a few ideas.....06/07 release of some cool stuff possible.
10. How did you find out about the "Like A Dog" petition on the internet?
e-mail from somewhere?.............i`m thinking of releasing entire catalog of solo materials,1993-2006,plus out takes and some bonus material.looking for a cool label to make this happen
unfortunately none of that has ever materialized

Not really surprising, is it?
Although they reintroduced Black Hole Sun...yet again...

If GNR were behind the "Zutaut locker" story I dont understand why an izzy tape would be in the same locker. Thats the one thing which makes me think the locker story is real.
What Izzy tapes?? That's the first time I'm hearing of this. I'm assuming they haven't leaked yet? What's on 'em? the lost solo record with Slash & Duff, JuJuHounds2?
#135 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Context of How Old Some of these Tracks Are » 347 weeks ago
Well, a big hit is relative. By 2000 the musical landscape was very different than it was in 1991. There were no more really guitar heavy big hits by then anymore. That said, I don't know why Perhaps or The Blues - given the proper promotion - shouldn't have done fine enough commercially as a second single. Would they have had a huge impact on the music scene? Fuck no. But they could have performed more than well enough so that every one could have moved on with their heads held high. Songs like Oklahoma or Soul Monster on a subsequent release clearly wouldn't have been chart toppers. Not suitable for the masses. But they would have done well in the Rock market. Velvet Revolver didn't have mega hits either. Contraband was still a #1 album. No reason why Axl shouldn't have achieved at least that same level of success with these wasted/lost songs.
#136 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Context of How Old Some of these Tracks Are » 347 weeks ago
I agree. Even by 2008 the world was listening with different ears already. That's why the stuff should have come out then. Soul Monster or Zodiac in 1999/2000 or even in 03 would have blown people's minds.
#137 Re: Guns N' Roses » DJ Ashba Recalls GN'R Fans Insulting Him After Taking Slash's Position » 347 weeks ago
Love him or hate him you gotta understand the power of the internet.
I believe him when he says he has thoughts about suicide, you can never know what's going in ones mind.
Absolutely. The internet can be cruel and I believe him when he says he had a hard time. I respect that. Not liking him or actually not liking him in that band, that spot is no reason to mindlessly insult the guy.
While I don't think he is demented or whatever people wrote about him, I nevertheless hated the showing off and posing. I don't think it did the band any good.

‘Leave Me Alone’ was a semi confirmed title at one point?
I think that was the working title for Soul Monster
#140 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tracks missing from the leaked CD's » 347 weeks ago
Didn't Axl mention a track named Cuban Skies in the chat?
