Link?

Have y’all noticed that Mitch Lafon has been insinuating on Twitter that a new album or some sort of a release is imminent? That and the weird cryptic GNR tweets......probably nothing as usual 

0.0 chance of it going on in a “normal” fashion. If it’s outdoors it could potentially be modified to allow for social distancing but that would limit capacity. While a vaccine should be available by next summer the covid thing will not be over by any means. But I could be wrong🤷

holy grail up on eBay 

While I own a few lithos I’m not an avid follower of the lithograph community. What makes this particular one the holy grail? 

Does anyone else find it ironic that the band is doing a cash grab vinyl release of an album they sued to prevent the release of in 2004? 

Superb. Man Axl was something back then 

Saw them twice in 06. Hammerstein and MSG. Axl really was incredible during this period. Fall 2006 is when CD really should have been released. It was the perfect time. 

20 years old and still hasn’t seen the light of day

Yes, that was ridiculous.

doesnt mean he’s wrong in his tweet though.

He’s not wrong at all. But it is hypocritical.

Because he’s saying that people shouldn’t travel around the USA during the pandemic. That’s not even a political statement. Nor is it woke. If one were to ignore this they might die. That’s why people should listen to Axl.

Nor should they perform stadium shows for 100,000 people at the onset of the pandemic.

Dude this Twitter feud is the most "old Axl" since he tried to throw punches at the airport in 2009, or bit the security guard's leg in 2006 lol 

True but I think the stuff he says on Twitter is fucking retarded for the most part. And he’s being a hypocrite for criticizing Mnuchin about travel when performed a stadium show at the start of the pandemic. 

I don’t enjoy “woke” Axl Rose. 

Is this just pure narcissism? A children’s book based on my children’s experience touring with Guns N Roses? 

Every year that album wasn’t released became a giant albatross around Axl’s neck. I think the re-formed GNR could have been an interesting studio and touring act in the 2000s. CD really needed to come out in 2000 or 2001. It was pretty well received in 2008 and it would have been very well received in 00-01. This would have given Axl confidence and successful tours and more releases would have followed. Probably like VR but a bit bigger. 

If real wholly molly

Well that was a fascinating little nugget. Thanks for sharing

2018 was a v rough year for Axl's vocals.

2019+2020 seem miles better.

Will be glad to hear pretty tied up once they're back on the road.

 

Well he will have had plenty of rest. I wouldn’t expect any concerts to take place until Q2 of 2021. These large mass events will be the last thing to resume.

Can anyone tell what this podcast is? I’d like to hear this story. 

It’s on Spotify.

Are we sure Zutaut was still with the band when Axl laid down vocals for Oklahoma and Soul Monster? That doesn't sound right.

Who knows when those vocals were laid down? I believe Zutaut was removed from the project in early 2002. In an article in I believe Classic Rock it was stated that the final straw was Axl showing up to what he was told was a private screening of black hawk down and finding that the screening was not private. WTTJ was featured in the film and Zutaut had assured Axl he would be getting a private viewing. When he showed up and found other people there Axl freaked out and fired Zutaut. That movie came out in December of 2001. Now I would imagine there were many problems leading up to this moment but this incident pushed Axl over the edge. Now given that these instrumentals were completed in 1999-2000 it doesn’t seem unreasonable that vocals for some of the aforementioned tracks could have been recorded in 2001 and could have been in Zutaut’s possession. Remember the original plan back in the day had been to drop CD and drop another completed album shortly thereafter. Axl spoke about this in late 2002. I doubt he would have mentioned this if both albums were not near completion. We always assumed the vocals for songs like Soul Monster were laid down in the mid 2000s but that was never confirmed anywhere. They were most likely were completely in 2000-2001. Now others songs such has seven, the general, ect...may have been completed a bit later as we know Beltrami worked on these in 2003 and commented on them as if he heard them in near finished fashion. The greatest shame is that the majority of hardcore fans have heard none of this shit. At this point what was the fucking point? 
 

@axlrosefan4life feel free to chime in. But my guess is that I’m pretty fucking spot on. 

Thanks for sharing. That was cool

State of Grace and Perhaps absolutely should've replaced Scraped and Shackler's.

Then again... the Village demos of Riad, CD and CITR all sound really good, while the album versions of those songs are a mess. I'm scared to think of how many unnecessary layers got added to State Of Grace...

Very True. SOG and Hard School should have replaced Riad and scraped. I wished they never would have changed catcher. The village version is so much better. 

It’s such powerful fucking song. 100% should have been on CD. If we would have gotten a fully finished version of this instead of scraped all of us die hard would have been blown away. And CD would been so much better
