papashaun Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm sure someone knows the answer.....I've read that both Axl does some of the backing vocals on this song, which is not 100% clear, but does resemble him, and that obviously Slash is on this track.....as well as other GnR members throughout the album.....But is this the last time we've heard both together on an official Studio Cut? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. And it’s obviously 100% Axl. 95’ voice or 96’ voice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 This song for some reason always gave me the vibe of like, Wanted Dead or Alive but if someone more badass than Bon Jovi wrote it 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the "I hear a scream in my neighbourhood" or a lyric similar to that and then Axl does a scream and very evil laugh, but it also is very low in the mix. Definitely him though.

Tom-Ass Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Does anyone know if Slash only played the lead on that song? Who is on vocals? Do I hear Eric Dover in there too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) The person who sings in this album is called Michael Shotton. West does backing vocals. I found an excerpt of an interview with the bassist of the band, James Hunting, after West Arkeen died but it is written in Spanish, so I have no idea what's the original source of this or when did it take place. "The whole story is tragic. The album is all that is left, as well as many other songs written by West, that will probably evaporate due to legal shit and the people who are fighting for his legacy and his copyright. His lawyer Harmon Kaslow was called right after West body was found by his sister and I. Harmon quickly arrived and removed a couple of things, including a tape from the answering machine and a fake ID, also the album's master tapes and he left. I haven't seen the guy since then. Thanks Harmon for all the help! What an asshole!" "I had already met Axl at the Stones show in Atlantic City when Izzy and him were jammin' with the band. I had also met Slash. They came to do their work separately. That was it. I know this was not clarified with their management because later it became a problem.... conflict of interest?" "The new GN'R album was planned to be out soon... There are tracks with Izzy singing with the band live on the studio. Great material that will probably never see the light of day. Harmon has never called the members of the band back but he's cashed in on royalties for all of us and West too. So guess who's got all the money? I hope these answers satisfy you because they are long but the story is longer and much more complicated."

Blackstar Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) ^^^ Really tragic story and impressive information about the mid-90s GnR album. But I wonder if it's a mistake in the interview and he was talking about the new Outpatience album? I did a little research and Jamie Hunting is playing with Roger Daltrey now. He was also in the band Union with Brent Fitz (before he had played with David Lee Roth among others). Maybe @Gambit83 could ask him for an interview? He may have a few interesting stories to tell.

Chester 524 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I have this cd. it is axl and slash.

Tucknroll Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Ok I just listened and heard the axl scream. I guess it is him. Just don't get having the best rock singer in the world and not using him more or turning him up some. Still can't hear him other than the scream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Free Bird Posted April 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2018 This forum... on every fake cover people think it's Axl and when IT IS truly him some think it's not Axl. Izzy plays Slash's solos in 100% Slash manner Duff wrote Steven's drum parts... hell, how is this even possible when Axl and Izzy wrote it all? 1 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder if it's a mistake in the interview and he was talking about the new Outpatience album? No, in the Spanish version of the interview it says "the new Guns album" but when he mentions an album in the beginning of the paragraph "the album is all that is left" he is talking about 'Anxious Disease', which is the only album they ever released. All that first paragraph is about The Outpatience album. Then he is asked about how the GN'R guys got to participate in it and there he mentions how he met them and that, apparently, them writing and recording songs with The Outpatience was something that the GN'R management did not know and did not approve at the time. Also when he says Izzy was singing live in the studio, he means with The Outpatience, not Gn'R. 18 hours ago, Blackstar said: Maybe @Gambit83 could ask him for an interview? He may have a few interesting stories to tell. Yes, I agree this guy could be an amazing guest for @Gambit83 podcast! The interview I found is a bit longer than what I posted, he also talks how he formed the band with West and how they looked for a singer together. ---- Another thing I want to add: it is definitely Axl who sings in that song, there's no doubt about it even if it is not credited. The rumor has it that Axl and Slash didn't know they were going to collaborate on the same song. Like Hunting said, all guys went separately to the studio, so their collaboration was put together afterwards, without telling them. Some say it was a subliminal message from West Arkeen because he knew Axl & Slash were having problems and he wanted them to fix their differences. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vloors Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Axl is on it. I remember either it was a axl chat or interview he said he did backing vocals seperate but didnt know slash was going to be on the record or he would of never done it. Slash had already left gnr at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this from some weird one page website and they didn't credit anyone, besides the interview excerpts are mixed with the article comments, it is not a Q&A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vloors Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 And here and he lended his vocals as a guest on the recording of The Outpatience's (a band created by West Arkeen, a GN'R songwriter and friend) song Anxious Disease in 1996. Slash guested on guitar on this track and as such it is the last song they performed on together. According to a person who was involved in the process, Axl and Slash's parts were recorded separately as both would not have contributed if they knew they'd be on the same track.
