Covers everything from Steven Adler being fired to present.  Lots of footage I had never seen before, and I. Thought I'd seen it all.

I doubt that Axl canned vocals for soundchecks.

If he did, why they do some songs without any vocals?

He can barely make it thru shows now, he's going to be using voice up in soundcheck which he never participated in at the best of times?

WOW Axl's sounding really strong on this!

 

 But he sounded good on the Hershey soundcheck too... so we'll see what happens in the concert.

 

Praying for an improved vocal performance.

 

There is almost no chance that's anything but a canned vocal

Wise decision.  I'm waiting for Axl to just call it a day and retire at this point.  They have NO intention of doing anything as far as new music goes.  That would actually require effort

the only show i will consider going to is indianapolis.  Axl in the homeland

The July show in Chicago, Wrigley Field is ON!

A studio version of the godfather theme would be nice too.

Glad to hear brand new stuff from him, even if it is a cover

Where do I begin? (Theme from love story)

In rolling stone interview 1993, James Hetfield said 

There wasn’t much that was normal about your summer tour with Guns n’ Roses last year. In fact, in your nightly opening video, there’s a shot of Kirk Hammett mooning the camera and saying, “That’s what I think of the Guns n’ Roses tour.” What did you think of it?
That’s Kirk’s way of saying something . . . without saying something. Actually, he should have wiped his ass in that video [laughs]. It’s not too pleasant to look at every night.

Did I enjoy the tour? [Long pause] It was different. It was a good idea. We really had no idea what was going to come with it. They’re a different type of band – and I use the word band loosely. It’s a guy and some other guys. We were out to show people that there was something a little more progressive and hardcore than Guns n’ Roses. And to go about it our way. But it was hard going on, dealing with Axl and his attitude. It’s not something we’d want to do again.

Sadly to Matt the drumers never will have equal status like an frontman and guitar player.

Don Henley or Phil Collins are exceptions

Mostly because Axl said it.

Matt also conflates two different incidents that happened months away from each other: escaping Missouri to Illinois after the riot and Axl escaping Chicago to avoid arrest. The latter happened in April 1992, when they played a show in Chicago and cancelled the next one because they found out that Axl was going to be arrested. There were no charges filed against Axl right after the riot, the charges were filed about a month later and the arrest warrant some more months later after Axl didn't go to St. Louis to face the charges.

Excellent point!

I enjoyed it, easy read.

One thing

In his memory of the St Louis riot and driving to Chicago, there's no, and hasn't ever been, waffle House in Bloomington, IL.

Small point, but if you want to name drop an Illinois city, be accurate about it.

Also, reading this I'm 100% convinced the slash letter where he called Duff spineless, etc, is legit.

I'm done with Guns

enjoy the millions you earn from the tour, boys, but you have turned your back on the fans you obviously didn't care about anyway

This is beyond ridiculous now

Not another penny from me to pay for this bloated monstrously

Hard school is easily the best song of any from the entire Axl solo era

Hard school is FAR better than Atlas Shrugged

I kept thinking, how many times am I going to hear the same lyric.  Over and over

It's fantastic except the guitar solo is very average.

Why this was left unheard is a real mystery

Chip away at the stone...aerosmith, much better LOL

Duff can redo Tommy's vocals on Goin Down

Probably the best song i heard from them in the last 5 years

Fun interview to hear

Never did find out why it was the Dr and Axl haven't spoken since that tour.

really interesting stuff guys!

Good interview

got both CD's the morning of the release on my way to senior year of HS.  Remember when i walked in the store back of bitch was playing on their sound system.

Heard up to Bad Obsession on the drive to school and the rest is history.  Very exciting moment 

good stuff

never knew this existed back in the day

i listen to sirius XM daily, i don't think ive EVER heard a single song from Chinese Democracy played

that picture is fake/photoshopped, 100%

Too many things wrong with it to be legit

This should answer all your questions on OMG:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/axl-speaks-out-250465/

Axl's writing is nearly incoherent.  He needed to know how to use better punctuation or basically how to not write in run on sentences.

How did the guy get Axl to come out and take the pic?
