The price put me off pulling the trigger, I'll see if I can snag a copy further down the line!

Did anyone indulge in Record Store Day? Pulls for me: Faces BBC Sessions The Replacements Not Ready For Prime Time TV The Stones self titled

It's a win if they are heard in any form, however part of me would be disappointed if they were released under his own name and not Guns N' Roses. It would go against everything he has said since the band disintegrated in the 90's, but it's better to have them than not - which I don't think we will, I reckon they'll still be drip fed under the GNR banner.

Bizarre behaviour.

I’d be more interested in another acoustic type show. That L’Arc performance in 2010 was absolutely top drawer, I hope that the pro-shot sees the light of day as that would more than scratch the itch. Rose Bar was great too, but in true GNR fashion, the acoustic show we have professionally filmed is Bridge School.

Forgot about that! Odd that it was registered as one track, I seem to recall people thinking Monsters was initially the orchestral part of The General or something.

Has there been any mention of the title Monsters other than the file name on the leaked track? Time will tell regardless when it officially drops, keeping 'Chicken Dinner' in mind here! Phenomenal tune. Phenomenal vox. More of it please, Axl!

10 years since they done this in Vegas.

100%, it's definitely in his wheelhouse where he can sound top tier. Hopefully we hear it soon!

The Replacements done something similar with their 'Songs for Slim' release. They wanted to generate as much money as possible for Slim's hospital bills etc. The record ended up getting released via streaming platforms then did eventually get a physical release in a limited run also, so I'd imagine it may be something similar? So I guess it'll be a unique first pressing of the record they've got in the can. Time will hopefully tell, just hope that it's not another 7 years!

Potentially getting this along with the Michael Schenker song in the same year will be pretty sweet, very curious to hear Axl’s relatively current studio chops on a proper song.

Is soon still the word?

Managed to pick up one of my holy grails. I’ve been after this for literally decades and after a couple of blows when I was working in the Middle East late last year, where two appeared for sale that were bought, never worn and boxed away for 23 years, I thought I’d missed my chance. As absurd as it may seem to some, that 2001 incarnation of the band is probably my favourite, with them largely responsible for the groundwork for the entirety of the Chinese era.

I'm pretty sure @FRANSAD has done something similar, taken an acoustic arrangement but put Axl's actual studio vox on top

I'm usually not into Slash's solo projects but this is decent, great to hear Brian sounding on form aswell.

Stuck 4 albums on last night. Philly boot is great, Manchester, Werchter and Madison Square Garden are all really really good quality.

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.

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.

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.

Always wondered that myself, as Roth’s vocal approach was, let’s just say, vastly different to the first run

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.

Duff's oozing of extreme level's of Punk would be out of place in AC/DC.
