    Beggars was written during the GN'R tour though and Duff has a writing credit on it, so that jam probably was really the basis of it.

    Going by the publishing shares, Slash seems to also have written most of the lyrics to I Hate Everybody (But You) and part of the lyrics to Back and Forth Again and Doin' Fine (I intend to add a "bonus section" to my writing credits thread about VR and Slash's other bands.

    You're probably right, I heard Slash play Anastasia's riff years before it came out during a solo somewhere.

    But if Axl wasn't at soundcheck (which he usually wasn't), why not jamming on a song written by Slash, Duff.

    Soundchecking Beggars on a GNR gig doesn't mean it's necessarily intended to be a GNR song but it could be of course.

    Axl rejected the songs because they were too much southern rock. Beggars was the most Southern Rock -ish song on 5 o'clock if you ask me. 

    They were probably working it out in soundchecks, that's all.

    Don't shit on my dreams, man.

    The sad thing is, I read the “ridiculous” question, I spent about 5 minutes truly thinking about it and in the end I actually struggled with which answer to give 😂 (I went with ET!) 👽

    Exactly!  When I first thought of it I thought it was an Absurd (pun intended) question but the more I thought about it, the more I was undecided and I was like... Actually, this is a good question.

    Here is last year's Hard Skool thread for reference. Initially it came up only for people in USA, then people in Canada started getting it, and later in the UK, while it was still not coming up for people in other countries:

     

    I am legitimately beaming that someone remembered this.  I was so so proud I figured this out and it out my theory was correct.  

    You unintentionally made my year!

    See, the other Fan Website also called me an idiot for suggesting Axl pass the torch to a 20 something year old and Mentor him. I don't get why my suggestion seems so weird to other Posters...

    You don't see the utter absurdity of coming to a fan site and wondering aloud if the lead singer should just pick a replacement?  It's so plainly insane that it is difficult to find a way to further explain why it's insane.  The question itself is the answer.  It's like explaining the color red.  

     

    Your follow up doesn't help.  WTF do you mean by not retire, just mentor?  Is he going to have a 20 year old follow them around on tour?  "See how I sang Jungle right there? Now you try Jimmy!"

    I'd like to think this is trolling, but across the internet you see the social media generation has been getting 50 likes for "I had breakfast today" for their whole lives and are living under the delusion that their every thought is important, and that no thought should ever be unexpressed.

  6. I think it would have either been a disc of "My World"s or it wouldn't have happened.  Not sure why anyone would think Axl would have tinkered less with absolutely zero other people involved in the project.  Neither outcome is good.  I've often wondered about "If" Axl had gone solo, but I don't think it would have changed anything.  We might not even have CD.

    I didn't accuse you of trolling. I just asked, because I don't get this result and I thought there might be another explanation for this, e.g. someone who listens to GnR a lot on Spotify so every search brings up GnR. I don't have a subscription to Spotify, btw, so maybe it's that.

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across like that, I was just saying it like "I promise I'm not trolling."  I'm a huge fan and it would be mean as fuck to troll something like that.  Like "From one fan to another, I promise I'm not fucking with you."
