sidman69 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Today I'm taking a look back at Axl's first LA band Rapdifire! Anyone surprised none of the songs especially closure never making it it's way to a GNR album? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdeyahlxp Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Because Kevin Lawrence wrote the songs and thus they were his? He probably would've suid Axl if he recorded it for Gn'R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL the liner notes for Madagascar, what a mess: http://aln2.albumlinernotes.com/Chinese_Democracy.html It doesn't (or didn't) even feel like a band anymore.

BillC Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Does anyone have a pdf of the 35 page document on the history of Rapidfire that was written by Kevin Lawrence's lawyer? It was released online to the public years ago but all links appear down. The gentleman that runs the Rapidfire Facebook group releases snippets here and there but doesn't appear to want to send a copy (understandably, as it provides content for his page). I would love to get my hands on a copy of this to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 35 page document was in the thread if I remember correctly. Cool, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
