  1. I'm pretty sure @FRANSAD has done something similar, taken an acoustic arrangement but put Axl's actual studio vox on top
  2. I'm usually not into Slash's solo projects but this is decent, great to hear Brian sounding on form aswell.
  3. Stuck 4 albums on last night. Philly boot is great, Manchester, Werchter and Madison Square Garden are all really really good quality.
  4. Russel Nash posted it in the end of that first thread Blackstar posted - fella is actually American. I’d assume it’s most likely sampling or use of lyrics.

  5. Too many question marks over that 09-14 CD run and how much activity there actually was away from the stage. That wasn't the fella I'm thinking about though - the chap was a lot younger than Axl and was practically an unknown. Threads did pop up on here about it at the time after it was discovered - I'd guess around 2012? The fella must have been in his 20's at the time or something like that. It made no sense for the collaboration to take place, but what actually does make sense in GNR world?! Someone may remember what I'm on about and be able to provide additional info from what I'm forgetting.
  6. The one that always sticks out to me is Baz raving about a song that Ashba and Axl had written together - people speculate this was just instrumental, but we don't know for definite. So that, at the very least, is post 2009. There was a relatively unknown songwriter from England that was credited on a song with Axl after 2010 - I don't think much was known about the recording, it had a title we'd never heard before, but still every chance it's using samples of a Guns song where Axl is the sole writer or something. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but someone may be able to fill in the blanks here.
  7. Always wondered that myself, as Roth’s vocal approach was, let’s just say, vastly different to the first run
  8. DLR sounded great on that VH run in '07, would love for them to drop the recording they made during that tour, but I won't hold my breath.
  9. Duff's oozing of extreme level's of Punk would be out of place in AC/DC.
  10. Some great stuff on that album, I imagine being scalded by the brothers during that failed ‘96 reunion was enough to get the creative juices flowing! John 5 said if you own a physical copy of that album, then it was most likely made by Dave himself as they were sorting the cases etc at his house!
  11. It was a great listen. I've been delving into Roth's solo stuff of late. Somewhere Over The Rainbow Bar and Grill is up there with his best, really looking forward to hearing more of this as yet unreleased album with John 5.
  12. Two juggernauts colliding. One of the greatest collaborations that has ever graced a stage. It was absolutely surreal, a very unusual time in the rumour mill as Axl’s vocal chops from 2011-14 left a majority thinking he didn’t have the upper register in his Arsenal anymore. Hearing those rehearsals in Portugal was fucking insane. Thunderstruck was the first I heard and you hear that high piercing voice splitting through the guitar. Fucking insane. When all is said and done, it’ll be one of the landmarks in Axl’s career that will back up the claim that he is the greatest frontman of all time.
  13. Merry Christmas, mother fuckers! All the best to you and yours.
  14. Live Like a Suicide original pressing Appetite For Destruction, original banned cover and a couple of copies of the 2018 remaster Lies, uncensored artwork UYI I and UYI II, both original and remastered Spaghetti Incident, standard pressing and orange variant Live Era original pressing Chinese, couple of EU pressings, couple of US pressings A few variants of the GH release All the records and singles included in the AFD boxset. All the records included in the UYI boxset. I've got a fair few 12" singles and the majority of the original 7" singles, but not all.
  15. Axl owes it to himself to finish the vision he had for Chinese when those sessions initially kicked off. It looks like we’re past the point of seeing an album of these songs dropping, but I’d have cherry picked the best from the sessions and released the rest as B sides.
  16. Better? Mickey? on the studio version?! I'm sure a 24bit version will appear on the likes of Qobuz upon release, hopefully!
  17. He was pictured in the studio with NIN, if I recall correctly, before the release of Chinese and their socials announcing his return. Axl was asked about his status in the chats that December and I think was still under the impression he’d be involved with Guns
  18. Yeah, the artwork for Now and Then was disappointing, not really befitting of the last single that wraps up their catalogue. The Stones are notoriously greedy cunts, so it was to be expected that there would be unlimited amounts of variants for their die hard following to pick up from! That said, promotion for the album has been what it should be for an album from a big act and they're showing how it's done - their logo even made it onto Barcelona's football strip!
  19. The Paul Smith alternate artwork of Hackney Diamonds is going for £120+ on Discogs. Absolutely mental - it's my favoured artwork, but think I'll keep mine sealed going by how much it's jumped up since I was in Saudi. I picked up the Faces reissue of their catalogue from 2015. Out of print unfortunately but got it for £125 which is a steal. What a band. Rod divides opinion but vocally, he was up with the best in the 70's, especially the majority of his work with both Faces and solo. Have yet to get through them, but will hopefully spin one this evening. Ron Wood - what a man.
  20. I was completely oblivious to the Satan laughing crossover from War Pigs - suppose that is further fuel to the fire if anyone is still on the fence about Monsters not being the same song as Soul Monster/Leave Me Alone etc etc. I've not listened to The General all that much, maybe a handful of times, but Monsters has been played regularly whenever I've been on the go. I think it's one of the best songs in the GNR catalogue and the bass line is top drawer - I'd have loved to have heard Tommy's efforts to see how they compare, as you can bet it'd have been every bit as good, but even still, delighted that a song of this standard is going to be gracing us officially at some point.
  21. To think it's practically half a record already officially released, it's pretty mental all things considered. I've not even attempted playing what we have back to back yet, I imagine it would be quite sonically jarring given the difference in mixing, but I do hope we get a cohesive package at some point soon, but I imagine it's most likely going to be continuing to drip feed these songs over the course of a few years and then the band looking at starting from scratch for a new album, sadly - I'll happily take whatever we're given though! Oklahoma/Berlin and Zodiac will hopefully be enjoyed in the not too distant future. The Village Leaks are full of intriguing instrumentals that would have made a great follow up to Chinese had they been worked on - which is possible given the timeline of the Village sessions is from 2000/01.
