merck is lying about checkmate not being axl or gnr

[vik]

if its not GNR who is it?

I'd buy an album of those guys anytime.
love the tune ...

Yea...same here.

This sohg sounds very AXLish to me, so i think Merck is a liar. Ofcourse i can be wrong...

And yes, drums really sounds like Matt Sorum

[zombux]

if its not GNR who is it?

I'd buy an album of those guys anytime.
love the tune ...

same, I still think its gnr though

hehe hell yeah it sounds great! too great not to be GNR

[Axlander]

if checkmate is catcher in the rye i have the song on cd and i can tell you brian may is doing the lead and that it is about 99 to 2000 and you can download it from limewire it about 7 mins long and it is great quality

No, Catcher In The Rye would be Catcher In The Rye.

[chi_dem_is_here_again]

could just be a uyi song we never heard of who knows

[Arcade Roses]

I think it might have something to do with the old band.
the drumming sounds matt sorumish.
I think we should try contacting old band members such as matt or duff, to see if they had anything to do with these.

Not sure if you saw my little theory in the other thread, but i think that the song could infact be:


The General.

The lyrics indicate a battle, or a war to me.

'No effort spared" showing determination

the idea of saving something, i.e theres a reason we're fighting for.

An army officer is a General right?




And those drums.....well i remember Uncle Axl informing us that The General is brains baby once.






But who knows, hey?

It's not "The General".  "The General" was only first mentioned in 2002, and since Brain and Buckethead weren't in the band then then it would be a pre-2000 version of the Russian Intrigue epic.

Trust me Brain and Buckethead are all over this song.
