  1. I was at the MSG show. I couldn't believe how good he sounded and also how loud the band was. Seemed way louder than GNR who I saw that same year.
  2. I remember seeing that sometime around '91 Guns made the press sign something that gave GNR the right to review any interview theat was conducted with the band before it was printed due to a fear of being misquoted. I've always found it interesting that the bad press campaign seemed to swing into full gear even more so after that contact was given out to the press. If you're from a magazine and want to write about Guns because you know they'll sell units you will probably choose to write the negative slanted article that doesn't involve direct interaction with the band so they don't have to get approval over the final edit.
  3. What's the latest, who has heard it and can we confirm any changes from the leak we have?
  4. That's cool. I don't remember hearing that. Was that said at the same time that Axl first showed the picture from the stage?
  5. I said this in the original thread, I get a ton of late era Faith No More. See "Stripsearch" if you want to know what I'm talking about. FNM toured with Guns and we know Axl had a hand in picking opening acts that he liked, so it's not a stretch.
  6. I don't mind the new version. I'm happy to have the demo as well and prefer the drums and the opening on the demo but Im a fan either way. I always thought the school bell was a nod to Alice's "Schools Out". The only thing perplexing about the song to me is that I've never actually heard the term or phrase "Hard School" before. Hardcore, old school, sure, but never together.
  7. So fucking cool! Really amazing to get to see the work that's involved, and to get to hear what Axl heard before he came up with the vocal melody over the music. That does give a whole new appreciation for the work. Now seeing Slash do the solo live twice, do you find it weird that he doesn't preform it closer to how the recording is? At least the recording we have lol. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
  8. Wow thats a lot of info there. I need to re-read those Canter chats!
  9. I may be way off here, but during the Axl chats, when one of the users asked him for his thoughts on Contraband, he made a point to say that it was a good question, but it was going to take longer than he had the time for to give a detailed answer. And I always thought that maybe Axl felt there were some of those songs on that album that should have rightfully been Guns material? Especially when you factor in that Izzy worked with the guys involved in VR at the beginning. I wonder if there were riffs and ideas that made it onto that album, that were born in some of the last official 90's GNR sessions. Just seemed to me that an answer of "creatively uninspired" or "not really what Im into at the moment" would have been easy enough. By not saying something like that, you can kind of read between the lines and see that Axl did dig some of the stuff. Evidenced later on by his willingess to sing "Slither".
  10. I guess the part that makes it so interesting is how specifc it is in refrencing Duff's album. But of course you WOULD add those types of details to make someone believe.
