He has more work - and offers - than he can keep up with. Gilby has his own studio and is constantly helping and working with artists on their music. Fortus is a great guitar player. But Gilby does it all. Guitar, writing, producing, mixing, etc. I believe we were talkin "No one would ever know who Fortus is havent he joined GNR" Everything you quoted was achieved by Gilby AFTER the GNR years, Im pretty sure havent he joined GNR he would still be sleeping in sunset strip piss like he was before joining. And no shame on that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was enough material that the band were rehearsing for a TBA tour to promote an upcoming album release (according to Chinese Whispers), which Axl scrapped after things went tits up because (paraphrasing from memory) "no one could play those blues riffs like Slash did". He compared the material to Aerosmith's Rocks. He wanted to do the album to keep Slash happy, and it was only after he left that Axl decided to go into mad scientist mode. Surely there's at least a few songs from that project that can be polished up for a new album...

Slash's playing was better with Izzy, Gilby and his solo band. By most accounts Slash was playing better than he ever had prior to the NITL tour then he took an obvious step back. Then he was playing out of his mind again during that last solo tour. Not saying Slash was a slouch during the NITL tour. He still was and will continue to be the highlight of every show but he still seems to lose a step with this lineup at times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love that.....😱 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Regarding the "lost album", Matt Sorum did say that they had 7 songs completed and 7 songs that they were working on. I'm sure that there is some stuff from this era that hasn't been released yet. Heck, Slash did come up with the riff of Chinese Democracy.

Gilbys website says he did 9 shows in 2018. unless he walked to each gig, not sure how in demand he is in. I didn’t say he was overwhelmed with doing shows. I specifically mentioned that Fortus was a great guitar player, but Gilby was known for his studio work He has a recording studio that is in constant use by other artists. He is in high demand for his producing work. Some goes uncredited on albums, as it’s often a matter of Gilby helping out friends. An example would be a band writing and recording an album. They are stuck on a song or are in a rut. So they go spend a day or two with Gilby and he helps them work through the issues with the song. Gilby is extremely respected in the rock world. The only place I ever read criticism of him is on GnR forums. This would be an odd thing to lie about...but it’s ok, my feelings won’t be hurt if you don’t believe me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I’m reading one of the GnR books and there is a quote from Axl pre-Illusions release where he said that he is writing lyrics for eight songs that Slash submitted. I apologize if this is common knowledge. But do people know what Illusions songs those were? I’m assuming Coma is one. The other seven are?

I don't think I've ever heard anything close to that about the CD riff. Some people believe that the fact that Slash played the same chords in a somewhat similar rhythm as part of a jam back in '88 somehow proves that Slash actually wrote that riff. It's just a coincidence as far as I'm concerned. GN'R played 400+ shows between 1985 and 1993 so it really isn't that crazy that those three chords would be played in a similar pattern in one of those jams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azifwekare Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It's totally doable for the band to gather a compilation of 95/96 and CD2 material, with maybe one proper new song, and polish it up for a 2019 album. Who's to say one wasn't already prepared in secret? Most of the hard work is already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It's not true that the reunion line-ups of bands aren't capable of releasing new songs. The best example for that is actually L. A. Guns. They released one studio album and one live album since 2016. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the writing credits I would guess those songs were: Coma, Locomotive, Perfect Crime, Garden of Eden, Don't Damn Me, and possibly Bad Apples, Dust N Bones and Get In The Ring? Could be 1 or 2 unreleased songs too.... 'Nightcrawler' or whatever that title was, maybe? I know Perfect Crime is an AFD-era song but he could've re-written the lyrics, like he did with Don't Cry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marc Canter confirmed it. Haven't heard the file you're talking about so I don't know if it's legit. If it contains any riffs that turned up on Speed Parade it must be real though.
