    Yes, some of Axl's comments suggest that he always saw Richard as the one to have the "Izzy" role (only as a guitar player/performer, obviously, not as a songwriter), and that had to do even with his physical resemblance with Izzy.

    The question is why he wanted two guitar players for the "Slash" role. I think that he hadn't planned it that way originally, but when it happened to be able to have both Robin Finck and Buckethead, he liked the idea of having two lead guitarists, one of whom would be a shredder for the "gimmicky" and "impressive" stuff, so he stuck with it after Buckethead left (although the fact that Bumblefoot was brought in at the last minute might mean that Axl had second thoughts).

    Fortus was Axl’s initial pick to replace Finck before he found Buckethead.

    Perhaps brings up an official GnR Apple playlist too. My bet is between 10-11 am eastern time a Tweet goes out with a link in a fairly unceremonious fashion. The (magic 8) ball is in Universal’s hands now and not Team Brazil. It should be pretty status quo rollout and lack the fuckery from yesteryear. 
     

    Perhaps I’m wrong, but barring some miraculous I wouldn’t get expectations too high. 

    Hey hey

    Axl ran out of creative juice. Happens to most artists as they age. The difference is that most of them continue to churn out stuff that they know is mediocre just to keep their business going.

    I doubt he ever did anything else with Quick Song. As far as Berlin goes, he probably did have lyrics, but never got around to recording them (like the Silkworms chorus).

    Wasn’t “Oklahoma/Berlin” supposedly on the setlist for the HOB comeback show and replaced with “Riad” at the last minute?

    It’s absolutely incredible how this fucking band conjures new ways to be this fucking disappointing. 

    And how they treat any rumblings about new music like they’re nuclear secrets and have everything scrubbed form the internet, because God forbid the fans have something to get excited about. 

    Team Brazil can kiss my ass. All of the blame for that falls on them.

  6. I’ve lost faith in these two songs dropping. The fact that they stopped soundchecking Perhaps is a terrible sign. 
     

    I guess “plans changed” again. 
     

    I really do hate being a fan of this band. 
     

    Make it make sense. 
     

    At this point, the hoarders need to leak the rest of whatever is out there, because it’s the only way that we’re going to get anything “new.”

     

    I’d be more than happy to be wrong about all of this, for the record.
