    I may be stepping on thin ice here, but I believe that in such situation, now that you've actually paid for it, I wouldn't see anything wrong about downloading (i.e. pirating) the two tracks so that you can listen to it in your devices. I mean, you've legally paid the price, so...

    you think it's pirating if you were to rip songs off a cd you bought onto your own phone/player?

    All I can say is: I have absolutely no idea. I first started poking around GN'R forums in the year 2002 and the fake insider bit has been a mainstay even since I can remember. 

    It wouldn't be a problem if GN'R was anywhere near as productive as they could be, but it is what it is. For whatever reason, a lot of people seem to link their self worth to being perceived as an insider in the GN'R world. 

    Back in the mid 90's there was a GNR mailing list that I subscribed to. Some user said his dad was an engineer (or owner, i don't fully remember) at a recording studio in LA and GNR was recording there and the album was going to be called "Sugar Fix". like 99% of the mailing list believed this person and they ate up everything he said. 

     

    I see it now with fan YouTube pages for various comic IP's etc. All trying to be the insider and using whatever tiny audience they have to try to look like they know something for clicks. The need for that type of attention will never change.

    I actually don't mind the album, but I was speaking generally. There are a few good covers on it and a few howlers too! But overall I don't mind it, but rarely listen to it. 

    To put it a different way... I'm yet to meet anybody who cites the album as their favourite GNR album. 

    Yeah it's not one I see out but something I flip on once in a while. I sure do love Axl's performance on Human Being

    I'm just saying anybody who hears a new GnR single has probably heard WTTJ, SCOM, PC, NR, Patience, YCBM, L&LD, KOHD already.

     

    Do you know how hard it would be to for someone to hear a new GnR single and not be aware of at least some of their back catalog?  Most people who hear hard skool or whatever probably have already made up their mind on GnR, of course that isn't every case but the vast majority I would say it is. 

     

    That doesn't mean there is no reason for them to make new music, or release singles or anything like that. I just don't think it's as important for a band like GnR.  They already have more music played on the radio every day than 99.9% of any rock band that has ever existed.  

    Doesn't seem like it'd be any harder than a new band being discovered. It's not only the older crowd going to GNR shows.
