BangoSkank Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Marc,In your opinion, what is the main reason things that are complete or nearing completion go into the vault instead of being released? I’m thinking of things like the “Better” video, the 2006 tour documentary, The House of Blues show in ’01, the Use Your Illusion documentaries.Is it Axl’s perfectionism, Beta’s influence, legal constraints from previous members or some variation of all/none of those things?Thanks.

recklessroad Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I know for sure he won't put out anything from 85 to 93 because it has Slash in it. My guess on the newer stuff 2001 2006 is the band has changed and maybe he doesn't want to push stuff that is not up to date with who is in the band now.

I mean, thats 1999. Wounds were still pretty fresh at that point. Yet someone was able to convince Axl enough to put out a live album of the band in their heyday (or at least in their original-ish form, however you want to put it). To me, thats always seemed VERY unlike Axl, since in 1999 it was pretty much set in stone that original GNR was gone for good. Maybe not forever (although its been 15 years since then) but definitely at that time with the release of OMG and the new lineup being imminent. Did that ever bother Axl that he was going back and listening to stuff that Slash played on? Or that he knew he was releasing something that people would go "yeah, thats Slash on guitar!!"?

RandallFlagg Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Which surely spells trouble if Bumblefoot has actually recorded anything with Axl or the other guys... we know he did a solo on Atlas Shrugged and he was on Going Down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Live era was something the record co made the band do. The band owed them a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooker Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Axl was wanted Live Era to come out as a goodbye to that band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was, but I could be wrong. I threw it in just in case. I know for sure he won't put out anything from 85 to 93 because it has Slash in it. My guess on the newer stuff 2001 2006 is the band has changed and maybe he doesn't want to push stuff that is not up to date with who is in the band now.That makes sense, especially given that he had all current members record over old material as they came in. The only one I don't get is the "Better" video because they still featured Buckethead & Brian. Edited August 11, 2014 by BangoSkank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
