mystery

In a lot of cases I think why keep this amongst yourselves but there's a chance the band would come after people leaking stuff that was supposed to come out on a proper CD II. I'd just be curious how it stacks up to CD I and if the sound is generally the same.

There's a certain point where the years pass and stack up on each other where this feels more and more true. Why wait 8,9,10 years to release new music when you could have struck when the iron was much more hot between 2016-18? The situation reminds me of System of a Down who haven't released an album since 2005 where the other members have basically said that their singer Serj Tankian is the main reason. The difference with Guns is none of the members will ever say its Axl. If Axl wanted to record music the rest of the band would be on-board. There's not much tension or issue with this now because they're older and have made more money than they ever did in their prime while seemingly coasting.

There's some big names in there where it feels less like lesser acts have to resort to this and more that its a broader promotion. Are Nickelback, Janet Jackson, Rod Stewart, Shania Twain, and Snoop Dogg/Wiz Khalifa not great selling acts?
