Yeah, Axl slips and falls about one time per tour. It's no big deal most of the time.

No, there's been a bit more variety from show to show. Live and Let Die, Hard Skool, Reckless Life, Brownstone, Walk All Over You have also been among the first 6 songs, Jungle was the 9th song at one show, etc.

The pre-chorus, iirc.

Absurd was soundchecked with Axl before the first show of the tour (there were no recordings, but there were pictures - ofc we didn't know then what song the Medusa graphics were for). Presumably Hard Skool was soundchecked then as well, but Axl had soundchecked it before anyway.

When they were soundchecking Hard Skool without Axl, they sampled the "aye-aye's" from the studio track, however Axl sings them live. So it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll use a backing track for part of the Perhaps chorus live (although they've been doing it on Locomotive).

Not true. He soundchecked Absurd and Hard Skool, as well as the new covers that were added to the set (e.g. Slither and Black Hole Sun were soundchecked with Axl before they were played).

I can't say whether the IG account you're referring to is legit or not (even more so if there's any truth to what he says), however, regarding Beta, I have noticed that she has been sharing quite a few of his posts for at least two years now, so I don't think it's a case of her "falling for it".

That was the worst GN'R documentary ever. Just Eddie Trunk, a couple of other journos and Stump from the St. Louis riot saying the same old shit (and not even accurately). It didn't even have any re-enactments except a couple of scenes.

Yeah, the post I linked to was a comment in the thread about that Rolling Stone interview. We had discussed then about why that would be wrong.

1983 is most likely correct, because she graduated from high school in 2001 (evidence here). Moreover, her professional and romantic relationship with Brain started around 2006, and she would have been too young for that had she been born in 1990.

They have all travelled together (on their leased plane) since 2016 when they've toured outside North America. In North America Axl usually travels by tour bus.

Yeah, it's been there for a long time, but the performer tag on ASCAP doesn't mean anything.

Well, hopefully this mythologized song gets released sooner than later so that everybody who has been waiting for it for so long gets closure Meanwhile, Perhaps soundcheck has already been picked up by music outlets https://consequence.net/2023/06/guns-n-roses-perhaps-soundcheck-tel-aviv/

No. That was another soundcheck.

I'm curious about whether Axl wrote a new second verse in the meantime or it's the same, repeated verse as in the version from 2000.
