I guess you forgot how many people claimed to have Riyadh over the years(remember that 06 fake leak), and various people have claimed to have If the World since that setlist pic surfaced. Thats whats funny about this. No one ever has any songs until GNR mention a song title, and then everyone and their grandma is sitting on a pile of leaks. Reminds me of when that joker at frozens old forum was acting like he was in the GNR circle, they all believed him, he mentioned a title called broken, and then about 10 people said they had it. BBF(or was it Del?) said the song doesn't even exist.
dave, you have been an active member of these sites longer than I have and you should know by now that 99.9% of this kind of stuff should be taken with salt.
I'm not saying to discount every person that comes along, but you gotta remain skeptical until they can at least show a sliver of proof, and saying you have two songs that hundreds of others have claimed to have isn't proof.
I do remain skeptical but i find it funny he claimed to have these two songs then they just happen to leak out a few weeks later. Im still not saying its 100% not prostitute, from the evidence i have seen, im saying its not. Also, im more hoping its not too bc like I said while its a very good song one of the best leaks, its not the best and its nothing like I invisioned the song to be like
And didnt Youth say that prostiute was like a cross of Nov Rain and night train, I dont hear that in this song.
Probably just means there is a mixture of piano parts and heavy guitar parts. This is as close to that description as any CD song we have heard so far. I think that quote adds weight to it being Prostitute to be honest.

I'm 50/50 on this one - I don't think he says Prostitute but the lyrical theme of the song does go along them lines.
I wouldn't be disappointed if it was prostitute though - its a great song.

welcome back estrangedpaul
Haha happy you remember me from RoV. As I said in another thread i only came back coz I heard about the leaks a couple of days ago. For some reason I chose the front page of HTGTH to check for news every few weeks while I was out of the community. I forgot they don't have news there - although I guess I did only care about official news coz I'd gotten sick of rumours so I guess thats why I chose them. Plus they have a front page for news so I knew I could check for GnR news without getting sucked into the forums again. I never bothered checking for leaks (I assumed I'd hear about them if any occured) but I happened to check a general rock forum a few days ago which mentioned them.
I kinda like this song - its ok - I'm not sure it would have went down too well had they played it live in '06. If they want to play songs people haven't heard, probably better to sick to instant favourites like Better and The Blues. This is too different for most casual GnR fans to appreciate straight away.
I like the solo, the flamenco playing, the synths and the lyrics. Personally, I think he comes in way too high-pitched at the beginning and its a little boring as it drags on. Its quite different to everything else on the album.
#144 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR has a deal in the works with Guitar Hero and or Rock Band » 885 weeks ago
Thats a reference to Sweet Child O' Mine and/or Welcome To The Jungle appearing on Guitar Hero. I can't remember which one but it was one of those or maybe both. Its nothing to do with current GnR anyway.

If this is a BH song, which it probably is, and certainly at least his work is all over the track... how can they release it on CD? I know they legally could, but it's just too much for Ron to have to be faced with. Why even put it on a master setlist if BH is such a huge part of the song? Unless he's on every track we haven't heard as much as he's on this and Riyadh, I don't see why they wouldn't put a Robin or a Tommy song on the master setlist instead.
EDIT: If it is Bucket laying the electric solo around the 3:30 mark than he has been proven as the single most important member of the new Guns N' Roses. I think it might be Robin, and I kinda hope it's Robin, because it kicks so much ass and I really want Robin to be as featured as a guy can be after all the years he put in.
Its definitely Robin - I can say that with 100% certainty. The note at 3:27 - the start of the second lick of the solo is the most obvious example. He plays notes like that all the time, in fact its how he tries to put his own spin on Slash's solos.
The acoustics are almost certainly Buckethead (listen to the lick at the end) - that would also go along with the trend whereby most of the songs on CD have one BH solo and one Finck solo.

Haha yeah I spent a lot of time on these forums reading and posting - it was always interesting - the weird thing was it seemed even when there was nothing happening there was something happening. But the quiet period after the last tour was too much to take so I stopped browsing/posting on the forums. It was obvious the album wasn't going to be released anytime soon at that point because they failed to keep up all the publicity after the tour. They just disappeared as usual. It seems in the 10 months since I left the album is just as far away as before so I probably haven't missed much.
By the way, the last post is not a criticism of Buckethead, I've always been a fan of what he and Finck have done for GnR in the CD demos, just not too fond of this one. Think it needs to be more epic and bluesy - like the final solo in Estranged for example. Especially to lead into the outro. Perhaps Axl/BH thought it was better to go with something different and unexpected. But there is no structure to this solo - I like shred as long as long as there is some structure (Kirk Hammett for example or even the amazing TWAT outro). In fact, the thing I always liked about GnR solos was the structure - a beginning, middle and end.

I haven't posted on this forum or any gnr forum in a long time, since before ROV closed down. I only found out about these leaks a few days ago and i wasn't planning to post on them because i thought they were disappointing compared to all the other CD songs. However after a few listens I've changed my mind on this song - I love it. Possibly my favourite CD song so far!! The vocal melodies are awesome and i love the synth. The solo is a little disappointing - I think Finck should have took this one; the shred doesn't fit. But everything else is great.
I don't think he says Prostitute. It makes sense in the context but there was no way anyone would not pronounce the first 't'. It sounds like something "with you" but doesn't really make sense coz he says myself afterward. I don't know.
