  1. That’s cool….it’d be awesome if this was somehow a catalyst for Clink getting involved with GNR somehow. Unlikely but you never know. 🤞
  2. Mike Clink producing….is he doing the whole album or just that track though?
  3. I’m fairly sure he could do a good job in the right circumstances….not 1991 level obviously but a rare outing would be fine.
  4. Ooft - perfect quality. I wonder what source this is from? It still boggles my brain that no soundboard or IEM has leaked/been released. 😤
  5. Both are well played (DDM solo was bad though) but what shines through is that even with a competent singer the songs don’t hit the same without Axl. This isn’t a comment on how he could do it justice in 2024…just a fact that when you replace him with any other singer it just doesn’t sound right. 🤷🏼‍♂️
  6. Nah man - it’s really easy to be a part time front man like Todd and sound good like this. At this tempo and in the right circumstances Axl could easily replicate it - early in the set etc etc. One thing that’s missing is the lack of any anger in the delivery. It’s kinda just spoken - Axl might be able to add more of that. It’s the tempo that’s key….if slowed a notch it offers more breathing time. However it’s still very cool to hear it in any form, done well and actually shows it COULD happen in the future.
  7. I think he did a good job. However - while I agree that breath control is key here it shouldn’t be forgotten that Kerns only sang lead on THREE songs so had plenty of gas in the tank. I’m pretty sure if Axl was to have a go early on in a gig he could do absolutely fine. One thing that was missing from Kerns (and probably from Axl if he did it) is the palpable anger that the original has. Obviously it’s a 30 year old song etc however it’s quite telling how different it sounds ‘speaking/singing’ it like Kerns - it didn’t have the bite and rage.
  8. Of course - absolutely no idea if legit or not. I took the response as the person was fed up of folks asking questions. 🤣
  9. I got a response:- I have absolutely no information about this item other than what's written on it. This version feels like they were experimenting with a Nu Rock sound, which made sense given the vibe of the 2000s and 2005. Check out the clip here: I removed the link because….well you know. It was a 10 second clip. I won't be answering any more questions about this item. But thank you so much for your interest.
  10. Message sent. Just said I’m interested in their history and how the locker leaks were well publicised….but there are also loads of fakes etc. Might as well ask.
  11. If you look at the ‘contributor’ seems like they have a mix of bands….and a CD from 7 months ago? https://www.discogs.com/release/26870636-Guns-N-Roses-Chinese-Democracy-Extended-Intro
  12. Wow - good find. So with no real issue with space there still isn’t a place for ‘Monsters’ so that to me says it’s gonna be on a future release.
  13. Might not be necessary but they may actually want/choose to do it. Folks should be under no illusion that there would be hype and likely a spot at the top of the charts…..but then it drop’s pretty quickly. No different to most artists really. However - in terms of legacy/discography it expands it (something Axl has lamented), give fans something cool and gets the band some attention. Folk will look back and see nothing other than a number one album…not for how long etc.
  14. Yeah - I’ve always bought into the notion that there WAS more material. The thought that he wouldn’t have captured any studio vocals for years and years just never really seemed believable to me. Clearly record company politics put a spanner in the works for CDII.
  15. Monsters is just all kinds of awesome. Give it a killer video and release it on its own as a single and I think it does well. Very well. I don’t think it’s impossible to have an Atlas Shrugged / Monsters release at somepoint which would give us 6 songs. I can absolutely see there being more now that we just don’t know about….will they compile it as a single release though? I hope so.
  16. Sadly - this is very true. 🤦‍♂️ I’m a longtime fan - but I understand it’s a song. By a rock band. Not life n’ death!
  17. It’s a bit of a nightmare….but hell - some folks need to calm down. 🤣 There are more important things in life - it will appear at somepoint.
  18. To be honest - more selects would be fine (better than nothing). The selects we already do have shows there is footage from loads of gigs - another option is to do a ‘Flight 666’ type release that Iron Maiden did with each song on the release from a different gig. On the DVD/BR chuck in some footage of the band hanging out/travelling etc.
  19. If they used some of the footage for the pinball machine then that at least gives some kinda hope that it may see the light of day at somepoint (this means they must have the footage and it’s not like the film crew retained it due to the disagreement). If they really are going on hiatus at the end of this run for a while (to hopefully work on that new material) then a release while they are off the road would be a good stop-gap. Summer/Autumn 2016 was peak reunion - as vocally Axl was on fire and the band was running on adrenaline and that energy of the reunion. There is no downside to a potential 2016 gig release.
  20. TBF - I was completely uninterested in seeing Pretenders in Glasgow (sick of hearing Brass In Pocket on radio all the time)….however they were pretty good live and Hynde still sings pretty well.
  21. Slash seems to have added a little change onto the end of the riff which is pretty cool and works. The solo played at soundcheck (if it’s the real one) is not very good though and a downgrade on Fincks. Still think it’s a cool tune with catchy hooks which should get lapped up by rock radio.
  22. Don’t think ‘fluke’ is accurate. One could argue they shone brightly for a time and burnt out but that’s very different to a fluke which would be getting lucky with a few singles or something.
