That’s such a shit thing to say to people when you are close with GNR management, have been taken on tour, and at worst have heard all of the unreleased material and at best have a copy of it.

My wife says I can relate anything back to Seinfeld. Glad to see I’m not alone lol

Hahahaha! Yes! This is perfect!

True. But I also don’t see him calling Universal and saying I would like to delay the release of Perhaps. And the Universal executive says “why?” and Axl says “for spite.”

Millionaire rock stars do not change a plan out of spite for nerds on the internet lol. This is not a Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

When you hit a certain point in life standing has run it’s course

And again hilarious

Also hilarious

It’s a complete waste of energy to get pissed at this point. Axl’s weird and always has been. This band will never operate normally. The guy is in his 60s and is never going to change.

Does anyone else find this all kinda hilarious? There is a website with a countdown and then it’s gone. The band says nothing. All the media outlets report it is happening. The band says nothing. Then an Italian newspaper says next week. (Italy really lol) And wait for it- the band says nothing. I’ve learned more about the inner workings of Guns N Roses from the guy who chases Axl’s microphone around than I’ve learned from anyone else in the last 15 years.

I truly believe this band makes people insane. I’ve been coming to these boards for years and I’ve seen it again and again. The greatness of those early records coupled with the insane wait for Chinese, coupled with the pockets of brilliance on Chinese and then no CD2 and only a couple of officially released singles has made a small sub set of the fan base completely bonkers. Look no further than the rolling stone article of Rick and the locker saga. I’ve always wondered are any other fan bases like this?

Wow you’re even more stoned than I am

It’s not sad. It’s the present man. And in the not too distant future this stuff will be uploaded to whatever vr/ar goggles we will all be wearing all the time

Lol ok. Something larger would break the brains of the 47 nerds (myself included) that actually care about this shit

Why tomorrow?

This is not an illusion type track. It screams CD era. Maybe that will change with how it sounds on Friday

Agreed. It is a complete song with complete lyrics. You don’t put in that degree of effort on those power screams unless you feel like the song is pretty flushed out. I guarantee those were not nailed to that degree on a single take. The end of the bridge is the only place where he seems to lose it a bit but that could be fixed pretty easy today. This song is not like nothing or quick song. It seems to be a pretty complete idea.

Eye on You 👁️ is pretty weird. The Mac Daddy part especially so. But the vocals are pretty incredible. It obviously took a lot of effort. I’m just so curious about some of Axl’s decision making during this time period. Like here’s this bizarre song that has no guitars and sounds kinda like Prodigy. This I will add some blistering vocals. This is my choice.

Why would you assume that Bach heard the village mix? That track was played for some people in 2006. I can’t imagine it was any different to the version that ended up on the album by that point.

Bring on the 2026 version of Aerosmith Rocks

Sorry was described as doom metal with a mean slow grinding beat lol. It’s more like a GNR version of late 70s Pink Floyd with much cheesier lyrics. Atlas was described as glam rock meets November Rain double lol. The first minute (which is actually quite good) is kinda like the Who. The rest of the song sounds like third eye blind hired Axl Rose as their singer and all of a sudden Brian May from Queen came out of nowhere and sprayed painted a solo onto the song. Prostitute I believe was described as fire and ice (I have no idea what that was supposed to mean) and while it’s quite good like the other songs took on a mythical type quality which it could not live up to. I hope the General is awesome. But the problem with all these songs (including everything on CD) is that they take so long to come out that they never seem to be able to live up to the myth.

Perhaps I shall be happy if perhaps leads to perhaps the second single The General

It does remind me of third eye blind. The 1st minute of the song is actually very good

I first saw that screen shot in 2011

When AI gets good enough I would certainly be interested in how the 1st VR album would sound with Axl on vocals
