I know, if you go to my post above I said the only professional part of his playing IS his paycheck. But the whole argument was "it's unrealistic a professional drummer would need lessons" when it's indeed feasible because his drumming itself is not professional but completely mediocre and even Slash and Duff said he sucks balls but they have to live with it for Axls sake.

No, it is not at all feasible that they had to fly out a professional drummer across continents to multiple cities to 1) relearn a song he played drums on 20 years ago and then 2) teach it to the current drummer, who regardless of whether you think he’s good, is a professional drummer who knows how to play a simple fucking drum groove.

Did they have to fly out Adler and Sorum to teach Frank the old albums? How about the ChiDem stuff? How did Frank learn it without them flying Brain out to teach him those ones?

Is this the beginning of Axl's weight gain?

Brain clearly needs to spend a couple more weeks teaching Frank the song.

I’m sure Axl has written lyrics in the past 5 or so years. That’s what he does. He’s a writer. It’s reflex for a guy like that.   
 

I’m also 99.99% sure none of it will materialize into any recording/new material. Axl today strikes me as a guy who just writes for himself. A lot of people write music, paint, whatever their art of choice may be, for their own gratification. 
 

But I also believe that he wants to release the tracks that were ready for release since 2010 or whatever year for CD2. Those songs were made with the intention of releasing them. 

I am of the opinion that between tours...

Axl does not sing a note

He does not play a piano key

He does not a write a single word

Of course, no one but Axl can know the exact reasons for that. But I have a theory: he *doesn't* want to make any new music. He's releasing the few songs that are Slash-able in his vault as a promotional method for touring. For what it's worth, he does seem to genuinely enjoy performing.

Bingo

Also, I think John can't sing like he used to :/ I noticed this 1) on the album 2) at the show I went to 3) in The Heavy Wing performance from the Apollo. Makes sense as the guy wasn't doing any vocals for basically 10 years?

Bummed with the choices for the Sirius XM videos, hope more are coming?

Someone could post a recording of them taking a shit and someone in here would say it’s The General

Considering the song started out without this absurd excuse for a chorus, I don’t think it was intended in this way. But maybe 

Axl once said that if he wasn’t a singer, he thought he’d make a good lawyer.

Now this is something worth getting excited over

Eddie is competing for best song of the era for me so far.

Why isn’t red panda or any of the other nonsense people have been searching to test this theory showing up then?

I would say either 1) not enough of us are searching the REAL fringe ones like Red Panda or 2) it's capturing data from Google/Microsoft and seeing that there are many more searches and "real" results for real songs like Atlas Shrugged than there are for Red Panda

For the record, I want to be wrong!

Pages back people mentioned using there partners Spotify accounts to check, people who don't even listen to GN'R and they were getting results.

Today I was watching the Woodstock Netflix documentary on my living room TV. Episode 1, spends 15 mins talking about James Brown's performance

My girlfriend then went on the computer 10 mins later, visits Youtube, and on her recommended is Woodstock 99 James Brown performance. She has never searched anything related to Woodstock 99 or James Brown.

My theory on these instances is that your partner's phones hear the words you're saying (we know this happens) and are feeding this data into Spotify's search algorithm. A lot of website's search engines are powered by either Microsoft or Google, so this wouldn't be out of the ordinary. I however can't prove that Spotify does in fact rely on Google/Microsoft data.

You're telling me that GNR fans are the only fanbase in the world who search for unreleased titles for their bands? And bands like Rolling Stones which are arguably bigger than GNR? Nah man, that's a silly thing to say. Just because we receive less music doesn't mean we are the only fanbase who cares about this stuff.

RS fans are 1) too old and 2) haven't been driven insane by a clown circus band that leads them on for years

I proved a few pages back the Spotify algorithim doesn't do this with literally any band's demos. All unreleased Rolling Stones songs in an article (that didn't end up being released or a live track) did not prompt anything with Rolling Stones. I went through about 20 other demos of popular bands and artists and nothing prompted them either. The only possibilities is these searches are "trends" and what is being searched for the immediate moment, which if the titles start disappearing, we'll see shortly, or Spotify specifically has carved out a algorithim niche for Guns n' Roses fans. 

Because their fans aren't lunatics who search their demo names into Spotify for no reason!!

This is a plausible explanation. The problem with it is that it doesn't apply to all the titles that have come up. Taylor Swift has a song called State of Grace and there are some very famous songs with Perhaps in their title. I would also think that there are some other people besides GN'R fans who would search for "Atlas Shrugged" (because of the book) or "Atlas" (as Metallica has a song with this word in its title).

It's going to make these suggestions only to GNR fans. I don't listen to GNR on Spotify much, so none of these at all come up for me. It knows you're not looking for Taylor Swift's State of Grace based on your listening patterns.

Boomers,

100 of GNR's literal top 1000 listeners in the WORLD search random words which are almost NEVER searched otherwise

The algorithm finds a commonality between the 100 users searching this very strange search term

It makes suggestions based on that

So happy to hear a guitar-forward song - this is what I wanted when the reunion was announced. Unlimited Love was good, but didn't scratch this itch.

whats yours? 

Just listened to that. Closest I've heard to studio I think.

Are there any examples where two people from the same country get different search results? Like one getting SOG and the other not? 

None of this GNR nerd nonsense shows up on my girlfriends phone
