Like work stuff he didn't need anymore and he just left it there. And it makes sense: why keeping the cds and stuff if he wasn't involved with the CD project anymore? I don't think he'll be calling the cops for some cds he left behind 18 years ago, he doesn't even hold any rights to the music on them. UMG/GNR would have the right to demand those discs back though. It’s technically still their property. It’s not the same as reselling a normal CD. I would be pretty tight lipped about owning them and the fact that the word is out about selling them, it gets in very murky waters if they find out who possesses them. If they secretly get in on the deal somehow, they could get law enforcement involved to confiscate them potentially Edited July 26, 2019 by guitarpatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cleared out his shit to use it for some else? And then some random person buys a used locker from Geffen? The story sounds like nonsense, but holy shit those 3 seconds sound like Axl not sure what to think 🤔 it doesn't necessarily have to be in the Geffen offices. it could have been in company storage, forgotten about and never looked at due to any kind of lock, and then sold off without a thought. i mean hell, i bought an old rackmounted server from my local school that still had tons of shit on it. this kind of thing isnt out of the realm of possibility for corporate entities Edited July 26, 2019 by dadud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I actually came into this discussion a bit late....I have heard the 3 seconds....for the sake of argument let's say it's a legit Axl song. Why are we considering it to be "Atlas" and not something else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had your hopes up at all, I implore you to lower them back to 2004 levels, for your own sake. Once again, nothing to see here folks.

Why are we considering it to be "Atlas" and not something else? Pushing aside the information about the 15-20 CDs of material. We’re considering it Atlas because we have to assume that’s what the leaker has it labeled as. At this point there’s a lot of stuff to doubt and a lot of stuff to believe in. At minimum we can agree there is a very good likelihood that the 3 second clip is legit. So if the clip is legitimately a new song there’s no reason to lie about the name. On that note, I have seen all the leaks from the Trunk show IRS until now. In between then and now I have seen A LOT of fakes. But this is the most convincing yet far fetched story and I’m inclined to believe it. Even if for the mere sake of having something entertaining going on in the GNR fanbase. Hell people thought better was fake when the intro clip leaked. I’ll just let it ride and see where it goes personally. I’m not getting my hopes up but I’m not going to cast immediate doubt either. Weirder things have happened in this community. Edited July 26, 2019 by Grayfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was from Zutant’s personal storage locker, it wouldn’t be his to sell. Even if it were sold on an auction. They could demand it be returned. If it was UMG property that was auctioned off by them or through an agent, then maybe the buyer would have a case.

Gold top 78 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Personally I don’t care about anything from nu Guns era so I’m not too bothered about this. Give me 96 sessions or some leaks off the next album and I’ll be excited. But I understand the interest from fans of the era and it’s making good reading. But one thing that’s apparent through this is that it’s time GNR started being a “band” instead of a “brand “ and give us music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not too much to disclose currently to be honest. I do know for a fact that everything mentioned about the locker, the sale of the discs and so on is all 100% true.

That story seems fishy to me honestly “Hey Intern Chad, go clean out Zutaut’s old locker. Throw away or keep whatever you want. If you see a bunch of band CDs, you can keep them or sell them. “ Its odd how the story keeps changing. First a guy bought a storage until and sold the contents on Ebay. Now it’s a personal locker and he sold the CDs on another platform. In one version he didn’t know much about GnR. Now he is getting $15,000 for them.

Not a difference in difficulty (besides file size), they just might choose to keep the lossless files for themselves and leak the lower quality files.

I like posting here, and I'm not trying to get banned. I'm just a skeptical person that tries to look at every situation from every angle. You're a person with a lot of power here; I'm a nobody. But again, for the sake of argument, let's say there are people being dishonest about stuff trying to get more songs, trying to get more info etc etc. Maybe one of the good guys is trying to get to the bottom of things and it would help them to have a person in a position of power like yourself to back them up? This shit goes deeper than JFK man....it's a mystery wrapped in a riddle wrapped in an enigma.......we are through the looking glass here people!! Trust no one.
