it seems answering the one-post-wonders is usually throwing peas against the wall, as they don't bother checking basic facts :facepalm:

Don't make Tony cry, zombux.  You're teaching class today, but I didn't know it was a Catholic school.  Please don't yell at or hit the students! :P

A lot of those names reminded me of bootlegs I no longer have, which reminded me of the trips I used to take to go look for them, which THEN got me thinking about the people I was with when I got them, one or two of whom are no longer with us, so, thank you very much for that nice trip down memory lane...I appreciate it!

yeah good times!

Someone's been brushing up on their "Chinese Whispers" reading! :lol:

All those years that I had bootlegs from flea markets when I was in middle school & high school, I always assumed all of those songs were Illusions takes, especially because it fit with the narrative that G n' R were between drummers, so, OK, of course, they had to use a drum machine on the demos, right?  LOL  Only later did I find out most of them were from 1987 at West's house.

I think that was a pretty widely held belief, the first place I ever saw it was back in the day on an album called "Unwanted Illusions."

This was pre-internet, so unless you were an insider, so there was no way to know where they came from outside what the bootleg said.  I didn't know this was West Arkeen until I read it on this site.

keep in mind that some of these "titles" (like "Too Fast To Live" for example) were probably created by whoever pressed and sold those bootleg discs

I remember other titles like

"Meat and Beer Jam" -- which was Aint Going Down instrumental if I am not mistaken

"Sweet Lorraine" -- which was actually "November Rain" if i remember correctly

"Axl's Blues" (a.k.a. "Cop Rap") -- for the Blues Jam they did in Madison 1987

"The Avengers" for another live jam

and a few more

love those bootleggers!

:headbang:

 

This.  You think the guys pressing these things dreamed for even a second that song titles that they basically made up would go down in GnR lore and be discussed 30 years later?  Crazy.
