MANETS.FOREVER Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) http://www.4shared.com/file/SvjlW6jJ/Alt_CD_Scans_300dpi.htmlThanks to GNR-Evolution's russtcb.Axl's letter on the credits:"In spite of... not in spite.This album wasn't made so much for myself,money, ego or fame. It was made because Riad and those like him exist, no one seemsto care or have any idea how to approachsuch a complex reality and unfortunatelywe all suffer.My thanks for any and all of the good thatcame before, goes without saying. My apolo-gies to anyone I have unintentionally con-fused and those that I have mistakenly offended.If absent mindedly, we left anyone out, oursincerest apologies, we'll make it up to you.For Beta without whom none of this or anyother imagined would exist. No one workedharder, suffered more and endured morenonsense often saving the entire effort longafter the bell when no one else knew how orcould.In memory of Sharon Maynard.There are many I miss, many I don't, someI'll remember, others...This is how I spent my summer. And how with the help of many others managed tosave my own life. If something here works for you, that's more than we could hope for.Please take care of yourselves and withinreason each other. I wish you the best, moreof whatever blows your skirt up and lesstraffic."Punctuality is the thief of time"-Oscar WyldeLove,Axl" Edited May 30, 2011 by MANETS.FOREVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Just a little trivia I found after looking through these (thanks by the way!)..On the "Thank you" pages, left side, there's a song "Stardust" mentioned under Robin solos and Axl initial vocals. I can only assume that's an alternate name for The Blues / Street Of Dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that's an alternate name for The Blues / Street Of Dreams.Interesting - The below thread is from three years before CD was released. This thread contained *fake* "promo images", one of which listed "Stardust Tears" as the new name for The Blues / SOD....http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=29909&view=findpost&p=485981Merck himself declared the images to be fakes, and the creator of the thread later confessed to faking them.Did the 'faker' unknowingly guess a working title for SOD? Did GN'R see the fake title in the promo images and like it enough to consider as the new name for the song? Are the new images actually fakes as well from the same guy?Another mystery added to the GN'R bulletin board mythology.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose Your Illusions Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) LOL Axl thanked the IRS and the FBI..and Sorry For You was apparently the original title. Edited May 30, 2011 by Lose Your Illusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquor & Whores Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) now that's a proper booklet... at least it looks better with more details about the songs & foreword from Axlhaven't checked if the lyrics 're alright, thoughhehe: one mistake already found in the credits: "Tommy would like to thank"...

Midnight Rambler Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Great artwork! Liked hearing axls thoughts on china as well. What he said about erin everly's former brother in law is pretty full on. Sounds like a pretty dangerous guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't go into it but just check past threads. Christ, you can see a pic of the artwork hanging on the wall in the Axl trolling Beta post. Although it is odd that they spelt Oscar Wilde's name wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
