thats what the re-release could look like I suppose?

Hope so! that would make me a super sleuth :-)

it would be good to see that hand bitch slap the crowd

Awesome. Looks like the ticket price wasnt the only thing that was inflated

to be fair, whatever amount they charge, its well worth it for such a brilliant live show.

Agreed

The Daily Mail is a dispicable rag. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2011/oct/04/dailymail-amanda-knox

Morning! Anything exciting happen in last 50 pages?

Aren't there any snaps of Axl arriving in Rio?

My mate's just moved to NY. Might have to plan a trip when that date's announced!

Thanks for clearing that up . The link to iTunes didt work for me. Would have been cool

Baz just posted an update about 2nd solo album featuring Axl. Was this already announced? Anyone know any more?

The whole album

Sorry but the mental image of somebody sat weeping through the whole album made me do a massive LOL.

well done people, so then let us vote in this poll right now

He became 4th.

MJ, Freddie, Elvis, Axl

I can live with the outcome. Would have liked it more with Freddie being first.

Greatest living singer then - not too bad.

The label still incurred cost for the other 22 tracks tho so til that value is realised your numbers are flawed. Also don't assume that no more money will be spent touching up the other tracks- that'd be short sighted fo sho.

Massive thanks to Niko and to anyone else who contributed (knowingly or otherwise) you guys are the reason I come back here every day. Looking forward to the final product!

Shame but not entirely surprising. Thanks to all the mods and admin for putting up with us for so long. Will the forum be archived anywhere or will it just vanish off the face of the internet? The band chats should be preserved at least..

I think this cover is fake. Some one has simply taken the CD cover and changed the words from gold to red, and added an image by the same artist who created the orther similar works of art. Why chop the are work. I don't think they would do that.

yes its fake.

"Some Chinese artists, loath to be branded as democracy campaigners, declined valuable offers to help illustrate the album. "I listened to their music when I was little," says Beijing visual artist Chen Zhuo . He was "very glad" when GN'R asked to buy rights to use his picture of Tiananmen Square rendered as an amusement park -- with Mao Zedong's head near a roller coaster. Then, Mr. Chen looked at lyrics of the album's title song and, after consulting with his lawyer and partner, declined the band's $18,000 offer. "We have to take political risks into account as artists in China," says the 30-year-old."

It is indeed fake but was only ever put together for fun (not to convince anyone it was a real cover). It was me that found the image having read the article and somebody at HTGTH mocked up the CD cover. I think it was probably intended to be part of the booklet rather than an actual cover.

Great work - this will be great if you can pull off a whole show!

Thought some of you may be interested to know that the Iphone version of this is down to 59p (99cents) today only I believe.

so much "news" for no news is really just NO news.

Post by Guns n roses Twitter a few mins back..

The only people who don't like OMG are the Slashite haters who want to see Axl retire.

The vast majority of the members here.

Exactly! In recent months, this place has become infested with Slashites who love to trash Axl because they want him to retire for good. Yeah, BBA, moreblack, and Nintari ... I'm talking to you!

Are you deliberately trying to turn this into another Axl v Slash thread? If not you're doing a pretty good job of provoking one.

Been to Dublin many times. It is easy to get glass bottles into the arena.

I do not believe any true Irish people were behind the bottle throwing. It was outsiders flying in on Ryanair, or English folk.

Yes, because 'true' Irish people would never throw bottles or do anything like that. BLAME THE ENGLISH!

Why would anyone want to watch a beheading. That's pretty disgusting in itself.

Did I just read something about new songs?

Haha, as in Chinese Democracy new.

Pah! mildly excited for a second, there.

Did I just read something about new songs?

I hope the lawyers are reading this bs!

Didn't axl state that irving arseoff was supposed to negotiate a settlement figure with activation before it all want pearshaped? It's one of the reasons cited by axl in his counter case against Irving a. He didn't wait 3 yrs..
