I dont think the 'take a step back' speech is from Rio. I think its from a 1993 arena show. Or overdubbed. Because, the sound quality sounds similar to Coma (Omaha 93) You can hear someone in the crowd saying ''i am already'' with a american accent after Axl asks to take a step back. Its unlikely the crowd in Rio was silent enough to capture one dude with a American accent. Axl said that the show just started and in the missing audio from Rio where it could be from is towards the end of the gig. We have quite alot of uncirculated shows from the Spring 1993 tour. Unlike the rest of the UYI tour is quite well documented.

There was a rumour that GNR management stopped paying Robin and Tommy without Axls knowledge (in order to make the band split and reunite the classic lineup) Robin had been offered the NIN 2008 tour and jumped ship, Tommy stayed. Is this true i dont know. I heard it on a deleted episode of the Appetite For Distortion podcast.

In 1989 Axl was with Erin right? Are there any other stories about Axl cheating on her? Just curious.

Ah, Too bad. during The Pretenders set in Madrid this year, i saw Frank with his wife on the side of the stage and i waved to Frank and he waved back, and later he was pointing at me while talking to her, and both of them were all smiles. Not that it matters but its a fun memory for me.

Anybody if Fernando was at the F1 race?

I found it weird that Melissa who usually posts alot on insta has been quiter than normal this tour, and hasent made any posts about her absense. Not looking good. Hope Fernando gets the Rick Dunford treatment

Call me crazy if you want, but i think they will at least try to write and record a new album in 2024. Slash said so last year, something like ''next year we are releasing a cuople songs, and after the tour we are going to the studio'' He was right about the rest. Perhaps and The General are well received. The tour was their best in years. Its all going to the right direction.

Love em

I actually also think that Billionaire could be an early version of The General

This was released on cd. (format) The only level headed comment of the day.

Yeah, Get Out The Door and Just Sixteen are probably his worst lyrics ever. Mary Mary not much better. Overall his lyrics were awesome

I love the album. Dave Kushner said that for Contraband they wrote like 50 songs and picked the best 12 or whatever, for Libertad they just recorded the first 14 songs they wrote and just went with it. He said it was a mistake, probably was. I think the reason for the flop was that Contraband was the one of the hardest rock record of the decade if, not the hardest. Libertad is quite poprock ish. I think the first half of the album is excellent Let It Roll-American Man. Then its hit and miss. A few harder songs. A la Do It For The Kids, Dirty Little Thing, Sucker Train Blues in there and it would have been better received.

Well obviosly the vinyls exists by now. And of course there are conciquenses if someone leaks it. Thursday i asked my local record store if theres any chance i could get The Rolling Stones cd a day early. I was said, no chance. He will get banned by Universal for all new releases if he gets caught doing that. Its normal business.

Also possible that they are waiting for The Rolling Stones to have their momentum before promoting The General.

Hellfest last year too.
