  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.
  11. Is there any reason to believe that it's actually true and exists, and not just GNR fan-fiction? Even though I am so interested in it I would read it even if it was fan-fic lol.

  12. Someone here once posted the demo of "Eye On You" set to the Interstellar trailer and it was pretty epic. Anyone still have that? I searched to no avail.
  13. What are the "L" and "V" next to the titles? Implying thay Lyrics and Vocals are still needed?
  14. I do love Back To The Moment but as a whole I am more partial to the first record.
  15. Wow! I had no clue about this. Thanks for that. I don't think I ever heard that. That's really interesting. Definitely one of my favorite Slash solos in that song.
  16. For the guitar players on the board, in the 2nd live performance of General, was Slash's solo more faithful to the recording that we have, rather then the first time around?
  17. This may have been discussed before, but do we have any clues on what the 3-4 songs off the first Snakepit album were that Axl wanted to work on? Also, there's that Axl quote where he mentions that he was told he wasn't allowed to change anything in regards to lyrics and melodies. Does that mean Slash had written the lyrics and presented them to Axl as they currently appear on the finished album? That seems unlikely. Surely the tracks weren't sung by Eric Dover and then presented to Axl for possible contention for the next GNR album. Any ideas on these two questions? My vote on the possible songs would be for "Beggars and Hangers On" , "Back and Forth Again", and "Lower". All 3 are really excellent as is, and I would have killed to hear a '95 version of Guns rip through those tracks.
  18. The part that I don't really understand is how Bucket wouldn't have any portion of royalties on TWAT. I mean I get that Axl may have written the basic structure of the song, but wouldn't the solo be worth something? I'm not sure how something like that get's factored in. And you would think if it's really up to Axl's discretion, then surely that solo above almost any other one would have scored Bucket some points?!?
  19. I thought especially for the first time it sounded pretty good. And the video with the alligator is fucking awesome.
  20. I dont think it makes sense either to release something with Bucket. I think it's possible though that what we heard is an older version that was leaked by someone who figured that the value of the track they had would plummet once Guns released the finalized track officially. I don't think that's totally out of the realm of possibility. For the record, I love Slash and couldn't be happier to have him back. Just throwing out possibilities.
