Axl is good, but a genius? No, I wouldn't say so. 1 album in 30 years, some pretty ropey performances in the past 10 years, and many many many missed opportunities in that same time frame. A genius knows when to pull the trigger and deliver the goods! Axl was a bloody superb vocalist and an underrated lyricist. But he is also the main reason for the breakup of the first era of the band, as I understand it. In his prime, a bloody brilliant frontman. 

And how the hell anybody can get overly excited about a shitty phone recording of an unreleased track... well I'm guessing you might have been drunk when you posted that! Hahah!

Being an opportunitist and being productive is not what makes a genius...at all

I think it's decent

I think Radiohead did something similar with In Rainbows Disc 2 etc. It's definitely a good way to keep up engagement etc. As well as to let fans in on some element of the creative process; to try and see why some songs maybe didn't work in the context of that particular album. 

I've always thought it was madness that Staircase was never included on the King of Limbs but I guess it's slightly too smooth perhaps compared to the glitchy atmospheric IDM on the main album. 

Agreed on SP. I actually enjoyed their previous album, haven't got round to listening to their new one yet although the reviews and comments like the above don't give me much confidence but I'm sure I'll find something to like. 

I guess I'm part of the minority who love it the synth pop/rock sound can be weird at first, but it really grows on you after a few listens. It's modern but it's not '' pushed'' modernity like in CD' s case. 

And Billy's melodies are top notch anyways.

This is the same establishment that uploaded a YouTube playlist labeled "Hammerstein 2006" and rather than having any video of, you know, performances from Hammerstein, it was a playlist of the studio version of the songs they played. They can be. 

I'm very wary about this because we've been through this song and dance before, but if they post something cryptic again tomorrow, that would be 3 days in a row, which we know for them is unprecedented. Maybe then, there might be validity to something, anything coming. 

Wow I missed that

But for me it isn't that much of a trolling it's just a very cheap thing to do... We can never know whit this band and with the first axl pic anyone could think it's just the elections but there's been silence long enough anyways😀

If this is bout election I am gonna flip

Then I'm out 

But I think they must know how easily fans can misread this so that would be dumb or trolling and they can't be that big trolls

You know things are fucked up when a band has to announce that they will release live footage soon. Other bands just do it. 

That's just not true.
