The Vault

[ManetsBR]

The Vault: a place, an idea, an entity. The Garden of Eden of Guns N' Roses. The black hole where all our material desires regarding this band go. The place where all the dreams are shattered, where all the materialized plans and ideas lies, waiting for Axl to go from this world to another so they finally see the day light. The Vault is a world where Guns N' Roses is everything it could have been, an ideal reality.

A list of items known to be in The Vault:

- The Whole Chinese Democracy.

- The Remix Album.

- '99 Appetite For Destruction.

- Pro-shot of every single Guns N' Roses concert since 2001.

- Use Your Illusion Tour documentary.

- 2006 Europe Tour documentary.

- 2010 South America Tour documentary.

- The book The Honour Of Thieves II, written by Axl Rose.

- The bird version of the Better video, as described by MSL.

- Possibly/Probably other music videos.

- Possibly Paul Huge.

Does Axl go into The Vault, and walks around for hours looking at everything he never released? Are we going to get all this once Axl dies? Did I forget any item?

I'd love to, but we are the only ones that care, it would be amazing, just for us.

[Coma16]

Not to mention all the unreleased stuff from the Slash days.

Who wrote Honour of Thieves 1?

[axlsalinger]

MTV Music Awards rehearsal.

Recordings made by the old band in 1996 and 1997, including some sessions with Izzy secretly back in the fold.

I think the Ark of the Covenant is there also.

[Estranged Reality]

it's right next to Prince's vault.

he puts axl to shame. then again he actually releases a good portion of what he does record, unlike axl.

[axlsalinger]

Prince's vault is probably bigger and crazier ... but he's also released 25 studio albums.

[ll_tj1]

I hate to say it, but Axl is likely to be much, much bigger the year he dies, than he has been, and will be, from the year 2000 until the day it happens. Whats really sad is the FACT, theres only an extremly select few people who will benefit from his death. And it's also painfully obvious whom this is. I'm not saying this is some "master plan" here. Not at all. Nor am I implying these people don't truly care about Axl. But facts are facts. Only Team Brazil benefits from his passing. Especially if they have all the contents listed in Manets Vault. There will be a catechism of activity surrounding the death of Axl Rose, on a much grander scale than Cobains, for those of you that had to listen for hours on end, on evey rock radio station, MTV, news, ect, about what a great, amazing, gifted, talented tortured soul Kurt was. And the onslaught of Nirvana memerolbilia that went on for 5 years after. If all that great material is still locked away when he dies, my guess includes the equivalent to 3-4 records, at least, just based on the comments made by Axl and everyone else who would have a good idea to how much completed material he has locked away. My guess is this scenario would be unprecedented. I don't know this for a fact by any means, just stating what I am aware of. But I don't know of any rock icon of Axls fame and noteriety, that went the grave with this much material still unreleased.

Edit-Forgot about Prince, but I consider him a pop icon, not a rock icon. I know it's splitting hairs, but there is a difference to me.

[liers]

late 90's old GnR album, 2000 intentions, 2002 Chinese Democracy, 2006 Chinese Democracy, alternative CD booklets/covers, Instrumentals from songs, CITR video.

[ManetsBR]

Let's not forget about video footage from the Chinese Democracy sessions. Do guys think there is any? It would make a fantastic documentary, that's for sure.

A chunk of the songs were recorded by his "proteges", but he also been known to let tapes roll and keep playing for days.

[ARX77]

What's crazy is that vault is very valuable.

[Tyler Drama]

There's a Prostitute video too.

[rhiad85]

Nice thread opening Manets.

I'm not sure about anyone documenting the process due, in my opinion, to the uncertainties regarding Axl's ambition and the ongoing uncertainties with the project.. perhaps some of the band members may have passed around a video camera during that time, but probably just for their amusement..

Building on that though I would be very interested in a documentary or even a podcast featuring new interviews with people involved - obviously Axl partaking would be great, but even just new recollections - for lack of a better expression - from people who contributed.. don't know what the probability of something like this ever happening is but I'd be interested..

Prince covers a pretty wide spectrum to say he's in one genre.

Take with a grain of salt, posting this for the You Tube comments on the link.

My man has unheard Slash, Zakk Wylde, Brain, Buckethead, his own stuff. Some of it has to be killer. Dr. Dre has a nasty vault too.

Wow.... WTF... Prince is eccentric.

Plus hours and hours of backstage parties footage that could be released on the porn channel. Edited August 14, 2013 by rockerman

[Spark]

All I want is to see all the treasures the vault has to offer before I die. That is all I want. I hear there's literally years of backstage footage from the UYI tours & so much more ugh!

When Axl eventually pops his clogs, whoever takes delivery of the vault will immediately take the isolated Axl vocal tracks and get Slash and Duff to lay down some instrumental tracks over them. Assuming the other GN'R founder members are still alive then, of course.
