Ok, well it's at least based on his writing then. I still think that was more or less how it happened, though.

Well then either they lied, weren't aware of it, or someone imitated him.

Huh?

But other than it not being "a warm-up exercise", the rest is pretty much the same - i.e. Slash coming up with the riff while messing around, then Izzy adding chords and Axl following up on that. And if they weren't around, Slash wouldn't have presented the riff to the band. I wonder what was originaly said in that Slash's book (don't remember) and whether and why it differs from what he told Trunk way later.

Axl's handwriting, so that's probably how it went down. "The general. Monsters. Bears. AI. Make it happen, Fernando."

When we turn to our subconscious.

That's James, that's the point. But it's a bad photo.

Very different types of recording and sound, so not the best comparison...

Ha, that’s rich. A guy with 10 posts comes to a forum and lectures people who already had been fans when this guy didn’t even know what music is, and who have been on the forum for decades, that they’re old and should fuck off, because they didn’t like a crappy lazy AI video from a band with a 62-year old singer that doesn’t release shit, has tons of money and all the possibilities in the world, and became predictable as hell. Maybe you should get some reality check; and maybe it’s you who should be doing the fucking off, probably back to some Ministry forum or wherever you came from, Mr. Señor Peligro, Bush’s alter ego. Think about it. This thread is fun!

This thing's gonna be terribly, maybe even ridiculously obsolete in 10 years, if not sooner.

It’s an Axl demo from a quarter of a century ago when he was apparently in a dark place, reminiscing (?) and all that. Listen to Monsters, though. That’s a great fucking song IMO. Alas, we just can’t expect the man to suddenly break his habit of keeping the best stuff in the drawer.

Unless you're their contracted photographer. In which case watch the fuck out. Cause you're in the jungle, baby.

Aaaaand we're at comparing this with November Rain. Where do we go, where do we go now, where do we go

Oh. I'm avoiding the Tax Office then.

Do we have any theories on this?

Yeah, I don't even count that. That would be awesome (although less work for Axl once again... Is that good? Idk)

My take is Monsters + Atlas would be better. Plus, if you want State of Grace, that would mean Axl actually having to go and record something new in the studio (unless there are versions with other vocals we haven't heard). Which he surely hasn't done for the demos they've released so far.

This is gonna be a goldmine for memes and all sorts of fun at least!

Well, I'm not disappointed. Because I didn't expect much.

For a band with such a poor release history, anything released is special, even the mostly shitty Selects.

Shut up and take my money. At least it's not AI.

Ha, I can already hear the Youtube comments. Good on you, Axl! Wait, that wasn’t Axl? Did they play Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door? And SCOM? Huh, what’s SCOM?

I thought the agreement was it's an AI video for The General?

Folks, it's barely over midnight in the US, give it a while...
