That could be easily done and made to sound good I bet.
im new here (been reading for a while though) but ill give my opinion on this.
it depends what exactly is in the mogg files. if they are split and all the guitars have different tracks it might be doable, but i have a feeling that at least 2 of the guitars are gonna be on the same track, which could complicate things. all the rock band moggs ive seen have:
1. bass/snares
2. cymbols
3. lead guitar
4. bass
5. vocals
6. backing track/stuff that doesnt fit on any of the other tracksalso, if you want to overlay stuff from another track, you might need a source file for that too. as far as im aware, the only version of CITR with Brain May on it isnt amazing quality? isnt it the one with the skips and stuff from years back? it would be majorly difficult, if not impossible, isolating stuff from that.
The plan isn't to isolate material from the Brian May version, though - it's to overlay the studio-quality material over the top of it. Axl's vocals are exactly the same on both versions, so (my guess) if you plonk the Axl vocal track from the album version over the (cleaned-up) Brian May version, you get album-quality vocals on the track. Do the same for bass, drums etc (but not guitars) and you effectively end up with the album version, with Brian's material in place. The only place where it gets tricky is during the skips at the end and the fast fade-out...

If/when the tracks eventually leak, I'm looking forward to assembling a cut of Catcher in the Rye - overlay the clear vocal/drum/bass tracks over the Brian May demo version. Reckon it'll be doable?

Is the video available for download anywhere?

Ten posts and no snarky comment from Lofton? I'm amazed.

They should just head round to Chester Bennington's house with a hessian sack and a bottle of chloroform...
#1906 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Names Dj Ashba As Band's Newest Axeman » 848 weeks ago
the only way TWAT, Catcher and ITW would work as singles would be if they were backed up by an epic video production...NR style...which gets massive airplay partially because it is so overblown in its thematic and size...to show off the new songs and members in as epic a way as possible...
Absolutely - there's no question, in my mind, that TWAT deserves a November Rain style epic video. I always entertained hopes, when Buckethead was still in the band, that we'd get a TWAT video in which Bucket emerges from a chicken coop on top of the same mountain that played host to the church from the November Rain video. He does his massive solo, and is then beamed up to a waiting spaceship to return to his home planet, his work on Earth done.

Bugger Prostitute, they should release TWAT. That's the one with the great big epic solos that prove once and for all that you don't need Slash, it's the one with the amazing Axl voice, it's the one that tops November Rain. I mean, ideally they'd have come straight out of the gate with Better and a video as the first single, then dropped, say, Street of Dreams and followed it up with TWAT. At the moment, though, I think TWAT's their last best hope for a strong video that'll grab peoples' attention.

It's good news as far as I'm concerned. Yes, I'd like to see Robin playing This I Love and TWAT live, but Ashba's a solid replacement. He's got the emotive playing down pat, he should shut up a few of the wankers who seem to think image is important, by looking like a more typical rocker, and he's obviously more of a Bumblefoot when it comes to interacting with the fans.
I think it'll be really interesting to see how Ashba and Fortus - two fairly conventional rock axemen - interact with Bumblefoot's Zappa-esque weirdness.
#1909 Re: Guns N' Roses » Appetite '99 » 849 weeks ago
Yeah, but from the material that's available - the updated SCOM - it's clear that the AFD re-recording is very different to the original material.
#1910 Re: Guns N' Roses » Appetite '99 » 849 weeks ago
Of all the stuff that's out there, the material I really want to hear is the '99 AFD redux/CD sessions with Finck and Tobias on guitars. The versions of I.R.S. and TWAT we have from those sessions are so completely different from the finished versions, you get a real picture of how CD developed. And the AFD material is a fascinating curio - I'd love to hear studio versions of Finck's reinterpretations of the tracks.
