Sixteen years ago, I was managing a music store. A week or two after the release of that album, a gorgeous and beautiful young woman came into the store. I looked at her and told my coworker five words: 'new VR album, track 2.'

By the time he found the CD and cracked up upon revealing that track 2 is 'She Mine,' I already had her number.

Anyhow the album is indeed weak, but it still has some gems- The Last Fight, Can't Her Out Of My Head is a great cover with one of my favorite Slash's tone, and Gravedancer is also decent.

I was unaware of Messages until I listened to the album on Spotify, and to this day, it send shivers down my spine..

That would be a dream,right?

But maybe it’s not something they “can” or “ know” how to do.. (you can very well add Archer’s “Can’t or won't meme)

You know, even Appetite wasn’t recorded live or first takes only, but it was pretty fucking close to it!
Then the Illusions with all its overdubs and Slash/Axl’s perfectionism… fuck, even Live fucking Era had Axl doing overdubs!

I’d pay a small fortune for a “bare bones” version of Chinese.. a simplified vocal -2 guitars-bass-drums (plus whatever the fuck Dizzy and Mellisa add) album..

Is it legit?
The vocals sounds  too much similar to the AI versions people are making

That is... interesting..
I've skipped through some of the songs and while some sounds good, I'm not sure about others ( used to love her for example), I mean I'm not sure if the AI is needed there.

Anyway, I'd love to know more about the process.
Is it some kind of filter/ voice changer effect?
A ML module with lots of live concerts generating a new version of each song?

The idea itself is crazy and amazing

That would be amazing!

Seriously though, she's not a new mainstream artist or the latest sensation so that comparison is not fair,  IMO.
