Yes, Slash and Fortus have mentioned before about working during on the GN'R songs during lockdown. But they had started before that (and before the leaks).

So knowing Slash's speed....I makes me think there's probably quite a few more than just 6! The 6 he was talking about was probably what he did in Lockdown....which may be (just guessing of course) in addition to ones he did in 2019 and before....

There is evidence that work on unreleased CD era songs had started way before the leaks happened (at least a year before). Most notably:

- In September 2018, when Slash was touring with SMKC, he told Alan Niven that Axl had been "in isolation" picking CD leftovers for them to work on. Niven mentioned it in an interview in March 2019.

- In April 2019, Slash went to Axl's home studio with his gear being set up by Caram.

So I think either those were the songs that were done or getting worked on before the leaks occurred, or other songs were originally prioritized to be released as first singles, but the fact that Hard School leaked and got a positive response changed the plans slightly as far as the order of releases was concerned.

Well in Slash's most recent interview he was ask to list to his lockdown projects and he had a bunch and he made sure to mention working on the "Axl songs..." So it may have started then but it continued past March 2020 it seems....

Question for native English speakers:

As a non native speaker, although I think I have adequate comprehension skills in English, I sometimes look up a word or expression, even if I think I know what it means, to make sure I fully understand what is being said/written.

So when Slash said (in the recent Classic Rock interview) that a new GN'R record has been "on the books" for a while ("and should start coming together"), I looked it up, e.g. here:

 

But I saw that everybody in the other thread interpreted it as been "planned" or "thought about", and I was wondering if it could mean what one of the definitions in the dictionary says

It's not about getting hopes up or anything like that (I don't do that - and I'm generally neither optimistic or pessimistic), just a genuine question

On the books to me means, something on the list that needs to get ticked off (hopefully....or plans changed) 🙄

New interview a bit focused on the guitar gear, but not so much. He restated that GNR would be working on a new record.

 

He was a busy boy in lockdown! Like how he remembered at the end to mention, working on the "Axl songs"...so if I'm the interviewer I'm like....Cool that was memorable enough to remember for you ...what haven't we heard damnit???

His voice lowered when he mentioned (almost under his breath) that he wanted to get a new Guns record out....so my thinking - Slash will be talking new music with Axl and if the vibe (and let's face it, Axl is pretty to the point) was FUCK NO....he wouldn't, even unprompted like here, still mention it as a thing on his list to tick off....

However, ladies and gents, time is of the essence! Will they live long enough to make that record? Or will us and A.I do it instead? 🤔

He also nodded to Guns and Conspirators material in that random German interview last week too...something will come, ONE OF THESE FUCKING days!

I didn't like Perhaps when it leaked but the final version completely changed my opinion on it. I'm "meh" on Atlas Shrugged right now, but it could be good in its final form. State of Grace though... god no. Sounds like one of those videos mocking Axl's mickey voice and wavering pitch.

Ya....but it is singlehandedly responsible for the best GNR cover ever!! 😵

I think I read somewhere or watched something where Prince or someone he worked with said he recorded a version of Bad and sent to Michael saying “this is how it should be” 😂If that version still exists it’s absolutely criminal that we may never hear it. 

That's the hearsay/story....

60 songs....or 60 ideas?

My exact thoughts when I first watched it! 😂 It’s a shame Prince couldn’t agree on the line “your butt is mine”.. the world missed out on an incredible collaboration there! 
 

 

To think the video would of been legendary!!! Probably one of the most viewed pre 2000 video of all times that would of been!!

Yep....but rumour has it....in th afterlife of both we may get something. It's rumoured Prince did remix Bad and did something with it, at least...whether that's still in the vault, time will tell. Would be amazing thought though, huh!?

Awesome videos! Love that extended Thieves jam. One of my favourite songs, especially the remix version 

 

Agreed bro 👊....probably Prince's most MJ like dance....Way You Make Me Feel vibes at points 🤪

That noodle went on forever.  Felt like half an hour and I love a long Slash noodle. As long as there’s just one.   Myles said he was getting a great vibe from the Brum crowd, although I didn’t feel it myself where I was.  But he seemed really in tune with it and said so a few times.  

Really? Interesting. He seemed a bit confused and flummoxed in Glasgow at the lack of atmosphere....

Perhaps because he was used to electric crowds in the past there....

i like it.  It sounds a bit harder than past stuff.  On par with the General IMO, neither are game changers, but will make most fans happy that something is out.  Check our Sebastian bachs new one, its awesome

Ya....new Seb came up in my feed...away to blown my ears off to that now....🤞

Dizzy should sue....it's all the rage!

When it zoomed in on Slash at the end....I had a terror flashback and blurted out....CLOSE YOUR GOD DAMN LEGS !

We feel generally speaking that despite the best efforts & F'N attempts from those who would wish to position themselves as shall we call them ..... "insiders" That "digs" or otherwise negative assessments on the character of either myself, Guns (as an entity either in part or whole) serve only in the long run & the F'N short run as well in all honesty to be nothing more than an attempt to "sap" or "cloak" the energies of all involved..... At the expense of both myself......and you the fans....

I say fuck that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We sat down..........

Idea's on my (our) website were shared back N' forth N' by both myself &  ""Interested parties" in a 3 hour meeting some years ago.... Fernando took the ball & walked very slowly with it, passing it to a dedicated team who understand the cutting edge of the "world wide Webs" Fernando had wanted (to his credit) to be part of the website (designed to promote a sense of progressive healing & serenity) however his computer, phone, wifi roota, & F'N otherwise assorted electrical paraphernalia's were taken away by the F'N PO PO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We feel the book will happen at a time best in the interests of both myself, Guns, NuGuns, management, Previous management, Bookshops, online retailers, Print setters, & cover artist A, Cover artist B, Cover artist C, Best Buy, Wallmart  ect, ect. As soon as all those assorted parties fall into place and shall we say otherwize "click" You will see it...

PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW M'F'N' VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

Most biographies has gosth writers.

I don't think Axl's will....he'll want it direct from the horses mouth in his own indelible style....I miss his long essays he used to wrire us...was the last one just pre Hall of Fame? 

The estate are celebrating the 20th ani of "Musicology" of late and 

posted a remaster of a forgotten b-side to Cinnamon Girl...

Quite an apt song, as on my monitor while I type this are two massive court cases side by aide which really showcase that division...

Prophetic as always....sadly. 🫤😵

Fun ditty....

This song SLAAAAAPPPPPS.

I have it on 45...it was used as the b-side to one of the Batman singles, and I collected them all back in '89.  I was in 6th grade.  I had no idea what this song was about.  I was just singing all these filthy fucking lyrics all the time and it wasn't til much later I realized what I was saying.

When two are in love (when two are in love)
Their bodies shiver at the mere contemplation of penetration (let alone the act)
Let alone the actual act when two are in love
The thought of his tongue in the V of her love
In his mind, this thought it leads the pack

 

Tune....Video not available though ?.....

Do we think this tour will swing and set sail EU/UK shores....or perhaps due to recent touring...no?

I know it's hard to divorce ourselves from being rock fans, but yes, despite breaking into the mainstream from time to time, he is not a household name. Could you name everyone else who was on the Oscars this year? Or last year? To most non-rock fans, he was just some guitarist, one of the long list of people involved in the show at some point. Wolfgang Van Halen was on the Oscars, too. I'd imagine most young people had no clue who he was despite him being on a mainstream platform.

Put it this way, I'm working with a singer who is a metalhead and she didn't know who Slash was. There were better odds already being into a related genre, and yet, nope.

Maybe some don't know the name but show the image and i'd wage that 7/10 know that top hatter!! 🎩
