    You people blow my mind. These songs are ok, but nothing close the the magic of the original GNR. VR is 100times better then this. Contraband and Libertab are great albums.

    Its a good thing the songs fell into the hands of someone good. Back when people had other leaks all they did was hoard them.

    How long did you have these songs before you released them?


    Only as long as it took to upload them and post the piece!

    That link is down, but I'm curious to know whether it's New Song #1 or #2 on the tracks we've got. I can't tell which is If the World, and which is This I Love. Anybody know?

    hmmmm...not as bad as people are saying...props for trying something different....best idea would have been a solo record...then a real GnR reunion.

    OK I figured it out, thanks. If anyone cares, here's the rough lyrics to "New Song #2," possibly called This I Love:

    
It seemed like forever and a day.
If my intentions are misunderstood,
please be kind, I’ve done all I should.
I won’t ask of you what I would not do.
Ohhh I saw the damage in you,
my fortunate one... the ending of you.
    Why would they tell me to please… in my face…
When all of the reasons they don’t ask all over themselves that give way [not right at all]

    It’s not a question of whether my heart is true.
Streamlined, I had to pull through.
Look for a new beginning, on you.
Ohhh I've got a message for you 

    Up and away is when I’ve got to do[?]
Give what you have, what you might lose.

    What would you say if I told you that I’m to blame?
And what would you do if I had to deny your name?
Where would you go if I told you I loved you, and then walked away?
Ohhh yeah...who should I tell if not for the ones that you could not save?

    I told you when I found you,
if they would doubt you, you should be careful and run away [?]
Now they surround you and all that amounts to is love that you [something] for fortune and fame.

    [awesome Robin Finck solo]

    If my affects are misunderstood,
and you decide I’m up to no good,
don’t ask me to enjoy them just for you. Ask yourself what I would do to bring you down, myself, to live with fortune and shame.
Ohhh ya.
You should have turned to the hearts of the ones, but you would not stay [?]
I told you when I found you,
all that amounts to is love that you [something] for fortune and fame.

    [More sick Finckery]

    Song 2 isn't This I Love. Somebody who plays on This I Love confirmed that Song 2 is something else. I don't think Song 2 or Rhiad and The Bedhouins will be on Chinese Democracy. If The World will be on Chinese Democracy though. That song is utter perfection.

    Looks like Mr. Firecloud got some FBI activity!

    Last week, the Internet was rocked when California blogger Kevin Skwerl
    posted nine newly leaked Chinese Democracy tracks, including three
    previously unheard songs allegedly from Guns n' Roses long-awaited album.
    Skwerl - who used to work in the distribution department of Universal Music
    and is now a Web designer - runs the blog Antiquiet, and says he received
    the tracks from "an anonymous online source."

    Yesterday Skwerl was surprised to find himself face to face with two FBI
    agents who paid a visit to his day job. "It was kind of an ambush," Skwerl
    tells Rolling Stone. "When I came back from lunch they were waiting in the
    lobby for me. It's a little creepy they know where I work." Two young FBI
    officers, who Skwerl describes as "Mulder and Scully types," questioned him
    for 15 minutes about where he got the tracks and made plans to visit his
    house at 7:00 a.m. this morning.

    "I wasn't sure if they were going to come by with a warrant and trash the
    place, like in the movies," he says. "It was nothing like that." The FBI
    officials wanted to see the original files, but Skwerl erased them last week
    per instructions from Axl Rose's attorneys. Skwerl ultimately gave them
    second-hand files that are now widely available on the Internet.

    Last week Skwerl's blog crashed from the traffic flood that resulted from
    his controversial posting. "My host contacts me and says, 'What the fuck did
    you do?'" I go, "Uhhhh. I posted some music." He goes, "What exactly did you
    post?" I go, "Uhhhh. [Meek voice] New Guns n' Roses." He goes,
    "Motherfucker." Before long his cell phone rang with an unfamiliar 323
    number. "It was a really cool guy from the Gn'R camp that was a middle man
    between someone who was very angry and me. He was trying to reach out and see if I'd go without a fight, which is more or less what I did."

    Skwerl agreed to take them down, but a cease-and-desist letter soon followedthreatening possible legal action. "I'm not so worried about that," Skwerl says. "It's a legal grey area since it wasn't for download, it wasn't a
    finished product. We aren't sure who owns the recordings. I feel like I
    might survive this."

    yeah, we got a lot more attention than we bargained for with this whole gnr thing, but in the end it looks like we'll survive. As for the tracks, which have been taken off antiquiet (our site), you can find them here:

    When they came in your house, did they yell, "FBI! Get down!"
