Yeah, agree with the ones above, it was a nice way from Axl to tell him that he is fired. I am courious what would have happened if DJ would have accepted the invitation hmmm, but im happy he didn't. I don't hate him, i just don't like him musically in GNR, maybe his solo projects are good but in gnr he doesn't have a place.

Slash: We did change the intro... that was actually just some idea, something that came actually from another piece of material, and it just somehow morphed into the intro for that song because it was so cool.

What is Slash talking about? Isn't the Better intro just the rhythm part underneath the solo? 

The intro of live version of better appears in the demo of the song

Too bad we don't have any good proshot live performances from 91 with all those songs :/ all I want is Perfect Crime, Dust N' Bones in good qualitt

We have a high quality audio version of Dust n bones from live era. 100% no re-recorded vocals

We should post spam evader's version on tweeter with this hashtag and also tag axl, maybe they will see.

The chances of me as a Romanian man to become the queen of England are a million times higher than Guns doing a halftime show sadly. Though a short medley full rasp 15 minute show would give guns more mainstream attention and it would be perfect to get attention for a potential album release. But that's in a perfect world, we are in the GNR world. 

Only if nowadays Axl would have that voice. In the end i feel like you can't have it all. I love the 2009/1010 era, i think it might be my favourite after not in this life time era. What is a mistery to me is 2011-2014 era, what the hell just happened there.

Ashba > Slash. Fight me IRL.

You, Me, 3pm in front of the school 

One of my favourite songs from the album, i love it. Especially if you can relate, somehow, to the lyrics. Musically i love it, though i kinda preffer a bit the earlier versions that were more stripped down, i still love the album one as well. Deffinitelly in my top 10.

If you buy the Locked N' Loaded box set and put on all of the rings, do you get Thanos-like powers which enable you to force Axl to release new music?

Comment of the day 

Im in both camps, i love an album like appetite, pure hard rock songs in your face but at the same time i love chinese democracy as well because it has all those weird things(scraped and riad are too weird 😂) but i love the fact that you can feel axl's pain and sadness. From jungle i can instantly switch to twat or prostitute. I would love a double album to please everybody, a pure rock album and cd2. I would die for an afd-like album, but it has to sound hard rock, slash's latest sounds soft imo, appetite has some agression that i love. 

A thing i have noticed, maybe it's just me, but when he sings in either mickey or normal voice in words where the letter "s" should sound sharp he pronounces it like it's a "sh", example: shweet child or in better: "inshide shomeone like you now" and "replay the part you shtole my heart". 

Maybe it's just me, but it does sound like that. 

Also, i am not feeling that the mickey voice is that bad overall, i mean i believe that it's the same vocal style he used in early years where he had a clean high and sharp voice. Related to that voice, did he ever use in UYI era the clean high voice not the raspy one? I've listen to all the bootlegs and couldn't find any recording where he would use that voice. The voice i mean you can hear in Back off bitch at the beggining of the course and 1 verse before, in these lyrics: "And taste the flame, Back off bitch, Back off Bitch"

I personally would have loved to have seen an Axl/DC release, but I know the majority of their hardcore fans wouldn't have been happy.

 

It would be cool to have a live album or a dvd with a concert from the tour with Axl. At least that, it would be nice to have pro recording with Axl singing the ACDC tubes. I love ACDC, not as much as guns, and it would be the perfect combo.

if management team had common sense they'd negotiate with izzy before having him fly out and leave upset, but then again that makes too much sense. 

Common sense and gnr, nice one 

Tge new single reminds me a lot of Shadow of your love, maybe it's just me. But it sounds cool, not a huge fan of Myle's voice but it's pretty catchy and good.

Fortus isn't just a replacement. He's a real part of Guns N' Roses. And I accept that.

Totally agree.

Izzy was scared that his amp may end up muted again.

On a real note though, i dont think that izzy showing up and leaving is true. I believe the money thing, the fact that they dont split the loot equally. Personally i like richard a lot and i don't feel the need of izzy as much for the songs as i felt for slash and duff. I love izzy, and as for steven, he clearly makes a huge difference in the sound of the songs. 

Related to Adler, as much as i dont like frank's weak and kinda feminine style i feel like he is a better choice from a long tour perspective than Adler. I love stevie, but i think he is not able to do a full tour, 3+ hours nights from 3 to 3 days. 

For a special night, a big broadcast, only the AFD5 playing a 15 songs set with only afd era stuff and full rasp Axl would be the best thing ever. But its just me wondering at 2 am insted of sleepin' 

Nope, never as a whole, i feel like i out grew appetite and lies into chinese and some uyi tracks, (dead horse, locomotive, estranged, 14 years), because i can relate to them, somehow, but I still love and listen to Appetite. And i'm almost 20 and started listening only an year and a half ago. I will listen to GNR until i will die.

Both back and working normally in the uk, yesterday CD was glitched.

Perhaps Axl pulled it with plans to replace it with how he always intended  it to be eg. a triple album with proper artwork etc.

Pure speculation obviously but makes sense instead of a standard remaster like AFD and considering the upcoming anniversary.

If thats the case i'll be the happiest person ever. Hopefully you are right, but knowing its GNR, idk, it wouldnt be the first time we are dissapointed, so no big hopes.

Checked just for the record and the album is still up on Amazon Music, if somebody uses that.

I would be, honestly  

EDIT: Both CD and DC(alt) are gone in the UK as well.

Personally i love that era of gnr and this is an interesting piece of history. Not the most positive one, the VMA's were a disaster. What would be cool, The Joint shows or a 2002 gig where Axl uses more rasp at least on the CD songs.

Obviously not available as an IEM bootleg, but Houston 2016 is probably my favourite show of the entire tour.

I've listened to some bootlegs and in this one axl is on fire. Coma was the best.
