Original 5 are untouchable. I can dig the UYI lineups too.

Currently I'm reading Slash's book, halfway through that one. 
And in my tempo I'll get through one book a year, so I'll let you guys know in 2.5 years after I'm finished with Slash's, Steven's and Matt's.
I should be done with these books in 10-12 years.
Books in reading order (Done with Duff's)

Guess soon is not the word then.

This just dumped into my mailbox. When I ordered it, it said release 23rd of June 2022. 
Anyone else gotten a hardcover of this yet?

Let us know if there are any differences with the PDF leak from a couple of years ago!

I Hope we get Atlas and Perhaps as the next two singles Slash mentions.... just to get this stupid shit over. Hopefully more new stuff comes afterwards and it will be brand new to our ears (for the most part).

Do you think its possible Matts book has been scrapped or re edited so it doesnt conflict with the UYI aniversary box set? It got me thinking mmm...

Tiny bits of good news, looks like Pele wrote this article, wtf with the mr rose and mr mckagan bs?

If its gonna be out by summer anyone knows when should they announce the release? anyone remember the AFD boxset was announced before its release date?

They have played plenty of different songs on the NITL tour, my only complain would be they should shake the order a bit. Change openers from time to time, change encores, change de order, etc.

Regarding the Slash release, I really don't think it matters or will steal any of his thunder.

Yeah I agree, still odd. Hard Skool was released 2 months ago they could have dropped the lyric video next friday for example and wouldnt change anything. Maybe the 3 hour meeting wasnt enough to plan it. 

IT was a fun lyric video... odd that its the same day as Slash single release. Hopefully they announce more stuff soon.

Awesome, they are doing more US dates before euro tour!

Anyone has any idea when Absurd vocals were recorded? it wasnt in 99 for sure.

His insider sources were clearly correct.

Yeah sure were, I hope if we get an album of 99-2006 era songs that atleast some of them arent on the village leaks! To make it fresher!

Pele must be estatic!

Thank you for your response.

But, like I said in another post, it seems it's different in the case of indie bands with no label, where the ISRC code is assigned by the digital distributor upon the songs/album are sent. But in the case of bands that are with the label, the labels assign the codes before the music is handed for distribution, like in the example of AC/DC: the codes were assigned in 2019, the singles and album were released in 2020, the code for the first single ended in ...43 and and the code for the second one ended in ...41.

Yes you may be right. It makes sense with ACDC they had the album ready to go by 2019 and then pandemic hit and ruined their original release plans and tour.  When you have a full album ready the ISRC codes are in correlation, as they are probably registered at the same time. With GNR Abusrd and Hard Skool were probably not registered digitally the same day thats why there is a gap, thats what I was trying to explain, in any case I hope the album comes out sooner rather than later!

I'm not questioning what you say, but just for clarification:

1. Are you referring to the ISRC code or the UPC product release code? Because the ISRC codes seem to be assigned before a song/album is handed for distribution and they are not related to the release date.

2. When you say, "when I uploaded a complete album all the tracks correlate one after the other, if for example that album had a single that was uploaded months prior it will use that original ISRC," what do you mean exactly? That the single had, for example, an ISRC code ending in ...12 and the album tracks ended in ...13, ...14, and so on? Because if so, that's exactly what we've been talking about. Or do you mean that the songs you uploaded as an album had all the same code, which was the code of the single? In this case, it's the UPC code.

3. How do you explain the blank spots between Absurd and Hard Skool?

1. Im referring to my own experience doing this uploads and to the ISRC codes, and yes they are assigned to a digital track each time you send one to distribution. You can tell your distributor you want the track to be released in two weeks or 4 months, its up to the artist to decide (or label).

2.  I mean that if artist X release a single called "absurd" lets say october it will get its ISRC code, and if the same artist then sends to distribution a full album that has 10 tracks and 1 of them is "absurd" the other 9 tracks will recieve fresh new ISRC codes and the single "absurd" will use the same ISRC code it got when it was release first as a single that way the track can keep its streams and stats.  

3. I cant explain them for sure, I suppose other artists send their digital releases in between yours and get assigned other numbers maybe? 

Hope this helps, im rooting for a new album BTW! 

I work with bands and I upload their tracks to the digital platforms. The reason the ISRC number from Absurd to Hard Skool has a gap is because they where uploaded at diferent dates to the digital distributor. From experiencia when I uploaded a complete album all the tracks correlate one after the other, if for example that album had a single that was uploaded months prior it will use that original ISRC. 

Im hopefull a new album will come out next year but this ISRC conspiracy is BS, sorry

Axl on fire on PC! This puts to rest theories about his voice. Bring a new album motherfuckers! 

So Fine was played once, wish Duff did that one.

I like Hard Skool, im happy it has been oficially released. Listening to Slash in a new GNR tune is awesome! I have no beef with Axl releasing the best songs from the CD era with Slash and Duff as they bring the GNR sound I love.  I would like to forget the 2001-2014 period really, it mostly sucked! I hope they release CD tracks live with Slash and Duff (Sorry, Madagascar, TWAT, CD, Better). After this a proper new record would be awesome but im not sure it will happen. Oh and Absurd is ok, I was baffled as to why they released it first but whatever.  Keep the tracks coming with 99 Axl vocals or not! 

Im loving this song! 

Cant wait till midnight! GnFnR! 

Da Zika!
