  1. Impossible exercise but here's an attempt: 01. There Was A Time 02. Better 03. Madagascar 04. Shackler's Revenge 05. Chinese Democracy (but it has to be the version with more bass from the Locker) 06. Monsters 07. The General 08. Catcher In The Rye 09. Hard Skool 10. Perhaps 11. Sorry 12. I.R.S. 13. Oh My God 14. Prostitute 15. Street of Dreams 16. Absurd 17. Scraped 18. Riad N' The Bedouins 19. This I Love 20. If The World
  2. Amazing song when you get over the Nirvana similarities. And Bucket's solos are immense. I keep listening to them over and over.
  3. The default answer to all these wishful hypothetical "do you think" questions regarding GN'R is "No".
  4. Very few had Live? Like A Suicide when Lies was released. After all, LLAS was only printed in a restricted number and came out before Appetite, Lies came out after when GN'R was a big band. Additionally, I think most people who bought Lies, especially those who already had LLAS, knew it was a collection of LLAS and four new acoustic tracks.
  5. Lies was an album, more specifically an extended play album (EP). It wasn't a long play album, though (LP). Well, I suppose that is a matter of definition, what I am talking about is an LP, like 8+ songs bundled together and released together. As for whether they will release an album with new music written after Slash and Duff rejoined GN'R, nah, I don't think that will ever happen, I lost hope in a record with new music in 2016. That being said, GN'R keeps surprising me.
  6. Is this thread only for people who believe the band will write and release a new record? What about us who simply hope for albums with the remaining CD era songs?
  7. We know he rigorously does warm-up and cooldown techniques for every show, and we know he has worked with a coach irregularly over the years when he has felt is was needed.
  8. Yes, a new release is a new release. If the argument was that Swift releases MORE than GN'R, then there would be no comment from me. But since the argument was that Swift, unlike GN'R, releases new music, then I will point out that I disagree on the very fact that we just got new music.
  9. Yes, that's totally different to saying that GN'R doesn't release music just a few weeks after they did just that. That being said, I am sure Swift has her haters, too.
  10. AI or AI. I use some algorithm from Google, typically. The problem is that it typically don't distinguish between different voices, and you have to listen through everything to make sure punctuation and all the words are correct. I have been waiting for the newer AI software to come.
  11. Further to my previous post: the verdict fell in August 1989 with the Stones shows in October. So it is not unreasonable his uncle tried reaching out to Axl as a result of the sentencing.
  12. Yes, seems like it from that quote. If I remember correct, the murder happened in 1984 but investigation startet in 1987 after a witness of the murder came forward, with sentencing in 1989. It sounds weird to me that Axl wouldn't be told in 1987 of the alleged murder (the body was not found), still, his family wasn't normal. That his uncle would reach out to him in 1989 was possible also to inform him that a person (Faulkner) had been found guilty. As far as I know, the body was never found.
  13. Yeah, Axl himself talked about what happened to his father: Like I found William Rose. Turns out, he was murdered in 84 and buried somewhere in Illinois, and I found that out like two days before a show and I was fucking whacked! I mean, I’ve been trying to uncover this mystery since I was a little kid. I didn’t even know he existed until I was a teenager, you know? Cos I was told it was the Devil that made me know what the inside of a house looked like that I’d supposedly never lived in. So I’ve been trying to track down this William Rose guy. Not like, I love this guy, he’s my father. I just wanna know something about my heritage....weird shit like am I going to have an elbow that bugs the shit out of me when I get 40 cos of some hereditary trait? Weird shit ordinary families take for granted. [...] he was killed. It was probably like at close-range too, man. Wonderful family..... [Kerrang! April 1990]. As fas as my history work goes, it is just an interesting anecdote. I would probably write more about it if I could figure out when Axl was informed of the murder and how it affected him at the time (like what show he is referring to). Axl was most likely informed in 1987 since the press talked about the murder (Sep '87) back then.
  14. It's finally time to publish another chapter, the 38th, in this massive undertaking: (52) 38. MAY 2017-JULY 2018: MORE TOURING AND THE RELEASE OF APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION: LOCKED N' LOADED (a-4-d.com) This chapter deals with the period spanning May 2017 to July 2018. Not much happened here; the band continued touring, Dizzy finally released his solo album, and the band celebrated Appetite for Destruction's 30th anniversary by releasing a remastered version in various packages (including the Sound City demos) about one year too late. Fernando didn't manage to get many fans among the fans and Alan Niven and Doug Goldstein were not impressed. It is slow progress now because I have to transcribe a lot of interviews. The good news is that you can now read many of the great interviews Brando and Sid have done over the years (all interviews can be found here: That's a fucking lot!). I have also spent quite a bit of time re-arranging and updated older chapters, adding more quotes and images and generally improving language and structure. While doing all this I have realized what a gargantuan project this has become. If the entire history section was to be printed out in books it would be a bigger book series than George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (but perhaps not as entertaining) and thrice as thick as the bible (but hopefully make more sense). In short, it is a ridiculous endeavor. I hope people enjoy it and that it can be used as the source for anyone wanting to learn more about the band in the future. The index to the entire history section is here: THE HISTORY OF GUNS N' ROSES AS TOLD BY GUNS N' ROSES
  15. I disagree. The average quality of the newly released songs is higher than of Chinese. And then comes unreleased bangers from the Locker leaks that would further make a follow-up better than Chinese.
  16. I don't think this will affect GN'R's plans, whatever they might be, and if they tour again I don't think this case will affect ticket sales significantly. I think it will blow over and soon be forgotten.
  17. There might be some info here: OCTOBER 2006 [?] FRANK RECORDS FOR CHINESE DEMOCRACY
  18. The consideration on who would sing on his record likely took place in the second half of 2008 while recording of vocals seems to have happened mostly in the first half of 2009. By then the final legal battle between Slash and Axl had just ended (it was dismissed in August 2008) and maybe Slash was ready to normalize relations with Axl, or maybe he was bitter about the legal wranglings, who knows. Regardless, Axl was definitely still not entirely over it in late 2008: And positively opposed to Slash in early 2009: So yeah, I don't think Slash seriously considered reaching out to Axl and ask him to sing on his record in this period - referring to wanting the record out "in this millenium" was just a little jab at Axl.
