  1. What I find interesting is we never realised there were two separate orchestral pieces being used as the intro from 2006 to 2011. Monsters was used in some 2010 shows, we were hearing parts of Soul Monster all that time and never knew. Although the strings out of context do sound quite similar from both songs.
  2. Lotusflow3r was a late career masterpiece that sadly went by without much recognition. A genuinely well put together album unlike Planet Earth or 3121 which were more collections of songs. Prince spent a long time on Lotus working on the tracklist, and the mixing and mastering was spot on. Boom and Dreamer sound absolutely mental through big bassy speakers. Some of the guitar work is insane on that album. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't listened, it's a really tight album. I think something happened behind the scenes though as after April 09 he sort of disappeared and stopped promoting it. Came back in the summer for a handful of shows then went again. Shame, with proper promotion and a big tour it could have been a really big album for him and Crimson and Clover might have done well, it had a nice (online released) video.
  3. Now we're talking. There really wasn't anything Prince couldn't do. And listen to the almighty thud of Michael B, who in an alternative universe did secure the role of Guns drummer.
  4. We don't know the vocal was done in 2010 and I highly doubt it. I'd say 2007, maybe he was still deciding how to sing it, working on different styles. The remix was made by Brain around 2010 wasn't it though. The crap about Axl being in the studio every year thing... 2008 he was AWOL, 2009 the same until the tour. 2010 they were on the road all year, 2011 at Rio doesn't Tommy say something to Axl like "dude I haven't seen you in a year". 12 they were on tour all year and band members repeatedly commented that they wanted to record. And so on. I dunno why years later there's this "Axl was in the studio every year recording vocals" myth.
  5. He was correct though. Axl said they were hoping to put out Silkworms soon, in 2013. And it turned out it was their next release, just 'soon' in Guns terms means 8 years later. But it did turn out to be their next single.
  6. As ever, thank you! Lost count of how many times I've read 97 onwards.
  7. I'd put money on the last time Axl recording vocals for Guns as being 2007, that last session adding bits for Chinese. Described as him bouncing round from song to song. Aside from Rock the Rock of course, which I thought was great!
  8. And the dozen or so songs Ashba wrote for Guns. I can't understand why they waste their time, they must know deep down Axl isn't going in to a studio anytime soon.
  9. It's not that bad to be honest. Its far better than the thing they put out for Hard Skool
  10. Not particularly. The first thing I thought was the reunion was confirmed was how we'd never get CD2 now and it'd be many many years, if any, to wait for new music. Which was accurate.
