It's a new collectors edition retrospective. Just picked up my copy today.

where did you guys find your copies?

Someone posted this on IG ... it is new (in stores now) or old?

lol yeah, no offense... i'm glad someone is able to enjoy this... but it's absolute garbage.

lol, I don't get how his is even news. file this under "duh".

I'm having a hard time figuring out when and how to watch this. will it be streaming or uploaded anywhere?

if this tunes out to be fake, i'll totally admit i was wrong. i just really want it to be real. there are parts of the some of the vocals that sound EXACTLY like axl. if that's a tribute singer... then he deserves a medal. seems really weird to me that a tribute band would actually attempt original music in the style of the band.. sort of like imagining what GNR would sound like today.

This is the tribute band involving Chad Atkins, the likely singer we are hearing in these clips:

Note that the first line sounds similar to how it is sung in one of the clips on Stephen's Instagram.

Other clips:

Granted, they don't sound the exact same, but the clips aren't perfect either.

 

lolololol that guy does not sound like Axl. Sounds like someone trying their best to imitate him, but it's far from perfect. Those IG clips... are clearly Axl... not someone imitating him. This is a piss poor example.

I hope you know that there are many tribute bands who sound VERY similar to GNR. 

ive never, ever in my life heard's axl's voice imitated that well. it cannot be done. show me a clip of someone sounding that much like axl......

Dude, you need to Calm Down.

I want new music as much as you want, but really you can't say that it is AXL AND SLASH on just a random clip. Yeah it sounds really good, but it seems like a tribute band, maybe its Axl? I don't know? 

lol don't tell me to calm down. you calm down. I'm just saying it's undeniably him. It's not hard to recognize a voice you've been listening to for 30 years.

The vocal delivery here reminds me of Bad Apples. That's Axl. Doubters are kidding themselves. Some of you just refuse to believe there could be a new GNR song in the works. "You kids are embarrassing".... well, i feel embarrassed for anyone doubting this. 

Listen to the very end of the clip, the last word Axl sings. People may be able to imitate him, but not THAT well. No freakin' way.

Uhm...not really.  Slight tone resemblence but way too much shredding and doodling to be Slash.

 

uhhhh.... he does PLENTY of that stuff. have you never heard a slash guitar solo live? come on, dude.

and this isn't Slash's trademark tone and style. gimme a break!!!

Just now, Gracii Guns said:

@nevergotochurch Why are you so convinced that it is a genuine leak?

just listen to the clips. there's no way axl and slash could be imitated that well. axl's exact voice and slash's trademark tone and style? come on. the people doubting this will feel really stupid someday.

Come on guys is a blatant fake. Thats not Axl

you gotta be nuts to say this clip isn't axl

Just now, Live Like a Suicide said:

You're the best, lol.

While there is a chance it could be Guns N' Roses, i think this information put the proverbial nail in the coffin, especially when regarding all the other evidence thus far. Thanks.

this information changes absolutely zilch.

Ok guys, I've just seen a print screen of a conversation with someone really close to band (I'm not allowed to say who, as per usual). They were sent the link of this guy's Instagram and said it is fake. I'm not sure if that's what they want us to think or if that's really not GnR, but I can guarantee 100% the converstation was with someone really close to the band.

they're just trying to cover something up. I refuse to believe those are fake. I know Axl's voice when I hear it. No one is that good at imitating him.

mods and other people doubting the "authenticity" of these clips need to get their ears cleaned. That's unmistakably... undeniably... Axl fuckin' Rose. Doubting these clips just because they've been on IG for weeks without a fuss from anyone is a pretty silly reason. This guy has 420 followers. Thats not a lot at all. I could totally see this going unnoticed. Aside from that, I don't think geffen or anyone else can control what someone posts to their personal instagram account. The most they could do is fire him or take him off the project... but they cannot make someone remove posts. It's a free country. Those clips are 100% Guns N' Roses, absolutely no doubt about it.

I just checked all the videos on his account. he's definitely working on a new GNR track. fuckin' cool.

There's a thread for this kind of thing you know ;-D

didn't know. way too many threads here to keep up with 

oh yeah, that's what we're all holding out for... the return of Gilby ?

well, now I'm not sure if I should buy it or not. if it at least has the photo on the back without the dates, as described by @filthandthefury, I could settle for that... but @-W.A.R- pointed out that the shirts with a backside on the site have a photo showing it... and this one doesn't... so I'm nervous about ordering it. I wish they were selling this shirt at the Arlington/Dallas show... but I didn't see it. Maybe they had sold out by the time I got there (around 7pm). hmmmmmm what to do, what to do....

I noticed the official store has a "from the vaults" section with some old school shirts. I noticed the 1988 Donnington tee... but it doesn't show the back side of the shirt on the site. I'm wondering if anyone has purchased this and can confirm whether or not it has the "Gnr was here" and tour dates on the back, or is it just blank? I really want this shirt but only if it includes the back side. pics included for reference.

I had no idea there were two different videos

I'm not sure if Slash has played with Billy, but if he has... So has Roky. Billy actually played guitar for an entire Roky set in 2007. Another way would be Billy Gibbons > Josh Homme > Nick Oliveri > Slash
