So The General was rehersed at VMA 2002?

What?

3 Dollar Pyramid actually is a "Better" demo.

 Today guys, I want to recommend you a album from a friend of mine. He worked hard to turn it real, the album consists of Acoustic Rock with the influence of Brazilian Traditional Music and rock artists like Legião Urbana, Ira!, Capital Inicial, etc. The album is entirely sung in Brazilian Portuguese and talk about the challenges and happyness of the life.

So, please listen and give your opinion in the comment's section of the video, my friend will appreciate every word of support and critic: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7MLAlo4PeXnNtY__kDwT3A

It was made in 2002, imagining Axl Rose's appearence in 2014.

Never seen it in any boots or heard it live. In 2010 I'm pretty sure there was a backing track for that scream (I remember some other backing tracks for ChiDem songs on that tour, Sorry had some as well).

What a pity, I always wanted to see him screaming that part.

I always missed that part of the song in the live concerts.

During Rock in Rio 3, in 2001, who liked me was Axl Rose. He was screaming on the backstage: "For god's sake, hold that crazy guy I need to meet him". But I was very tired. They played at midnight and I couldn't hold too much. Remembers Serguei.

Serguei, 85 died June 7, 2019 he was Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler before they did it.

This is one of his last performances.

 I know GNR played it in Tokyo 92 and 5 times during 88...

 I love the Philadelphia 2012 concert, but I wanna listen to more good moments of the 11-14 era...

From what I’ve researched and found out is that in late 2010 Axl developed an infection/virus that eventually became strep throat. He kept singing all through the infection until he got to the point where he lost his voice. From what I found out and I’m not sure how true this is, he damaged his vocal chords. It’s not that he changed his vocal style. I just don’t think he can hit those certain notes every night anymore. The guy is 56. I saw them in Hartford CT in 2017. He sounded like 06-2010. He was on point and sounded fuckin amazing that night. They played 10 minutes under 4 hours. 56 years old and still performing like he was in his 30s every night. Just amazing.hes the greatest

 Thanks for that interesting info from 2010, this could explain some things, but I have to correct your comparison between Axl Rose's 2010 voice with his NITL tour voice.

WTTJ 2010: 

WTTJ NITL TOUR: 

 But Yeah, I have to agree that Hartford was one of the best NITL concerts, in *CERTAIN MOMENTS he sounded like he sounds in 2006, 2010 and 1999.

(that CERTAIN MOMENTS can vary between some microseconds to 3 seconds during a music :b)

 I was listening to some stuff from the last Chinese Democracy Tour 09/10 concerts, and I realised that Axl sounded like his 2011 vocal style(a cleaner and a bit weak voice)in December. If you see the last concert played before December, Spain 23th, October, Axl is in full raspy, so Axl maybe changed his vocal style to the very familiar 2011 style between October and November.

 A good time ago I see something about Axl Rose making a Rocket Queen clip in 2006, anyone heard about it?

 Do anyone knows where we can find this concerts?

It was just a little tease of the song, Axl sang a few lines. But, yes, that much did happen. 

 Exists any audio or footage of this moment?

  This setlist says that Guns N' Roses played Heartbreak Hotel in 2012, it's real? Any video or audio of this performance?

I think it was only a few songs, but does the Versace Show in 2007 count?

 

 

 Yeah, good one.

Atlas Shrugged and Catcher are easy to see the reference. I didnt know about Axl listing the Zodiac as a favourite book. The story certainly fits with some of the themes Axl had rating around for CD era lyrics. So thats promising. Im not as convinced about Soul Monster, but its possible.

Yeah, I think Axl is often pigeon hold as someone who writes about supermodel ex girlfriends and partying. But he takes inspiration from novels, film, news, historical events, social location, speeches and even models of governance.

Im not sure what all the books are. But if I can expand to include history, politics, and film for a moment.

Madagascar alone has quotes from movies like Cool Hand Luke, Mississippi Burning, Casualties of War, Braveheart and Seven. It quotes two MLK speeches. And is possibly inspired by/makes reference to the historical plan of the Nazis to exile Jewish people to Madagascar.

 Heres where the taking part in Breakdown comes from:

Not to derail about the focus on books, sorry  

Thanks for your opinion and analysis, so you quoted Seven the movie and this remembers me the unreleased track Seven, but I heard the name was choosen 'cause the music was written by seven musicians. Madagascar is a show of references. Studying Axl's lyrics I've realized that he likes to create music mixing references from art like books and movies with references from the real world like governmental and social questions.

 In a chat with fans Axl Rose revealed your favorite books: Zodiac(Neal Stephenson), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, James Dean: The Mutant King(David Dalton), The Stand(Stephen King), A Scanner Darkly(Philip K. Dick)
Everybody knows that the Chinese Democracy track "Catcher in the Rye" is based in the book The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger, the music show some references 
from the book like the feeling of being revolted, confused and alienated(that is what the main character felt), references to murdering of John Lennon  and personal ideas from Axl like what him felt about the murdering of Lennon.

 Recently Tom Zutaut, former executive from Geffen Records, said in interview that Atlas Shrugged is based in a jew-russian writer and philosopher called Ayn Rand, she was authoress of a philosophical fiction book called Atlas Shrugged, that explore the idea of a United States where the private businesses is super regulated by a progressive and corrupt government. The title Atlas Shrugged makes reference to Atlas a titan from the greek mythology that was condemned by Zeus to hold the skies on his shoulders for the eternity, The significance of this reference appears in a conversation between the characters Francisco d'Anconia and Hank Rearden, in which d'Anconia asks Rearden what advice he would give Atlas upon seeing "the greater [the titan's] effort, the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders". With Rearden unable to answer, d'Anconia gives his own response: "To shrug".

 In 2008 Axl confirmed the existence of a music called Zodiac the track name match the title of the book Zodiac by Neal Stephenson, book that Axl include in your favorite books list, the book tells the story of an environmentalist, Sangamon Taylor, uncovering a conspiracy involving industrialist polluters in Boston Harbor. The "Zodiac" of the title refers to the brand of inflatable motor boats the hero uses to get around the city efficiently.
His opponents attempt to frame him as an ecoterrorist. The protagonist is inspired by environmental chemist Marco Kaltofen. Taylor is a recreational user of nitrous oxide, justifying his choice of drug by the eponymous Sangamon's principle: "the simpler the molecule, the better the drug".
 
 Also in 2008 Axl confirmed the existence of a music called Elvis Presley and The Monster Soul(Soul Monster/Leave Me Alone).
"Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul aka The Soul Monster (working title Leave Me Alone)" which will no doubt end up "Soul Monster".
- I think it's our most Black Sabbath moment. Sang it on a Christmas eve. In my opnion the meanest section of anything I've sung to date. Which having said that I'm sure when it's heard others may disagree but we felt it was a Christmas card of unadulterated venom so to speak. I felt a lot better afterward.
(Axl Rose, Here Today… Gone To Hell Forum, Dec. 2008)
 The title seems be a reference to the book Mary Shelley's Frankestein taking into account the two words MONSTER and SOUL, in the book Frankenstein is a MONSTER created by Victor Frankenstein described as being a big and horrendous creature but with a sensitive and emotional personality(SOUL), the creature was rejected and criticized by the society (maybe this has something to do with the alternartive title Leave me Alone). Another interpretation I can do is about the book James Dean: The Mutant King by David Dalton
another favorite of Axl, despite the name The Mutant King, the book is actually James Dean's biography, he was a actor well known for your Rock N' Roll(Rock always remember Elvis Presley) life style, in the 50s(1950 remember Elvis Presley too) he was a symbol of rebellion, the badboy that everybody wanted to be.
 

So it's my theories and analyzes, what is your opinion and analyzes?

That wasn't really a show - that was apparently just an after party for a gig. However the band has played several private gigs - I can think of three offhand; Rosario Dawson's birthday party in 2006 (This is the one where Axl got in a fight with Tommy Hilfiger), in 2010 they did a private gig in Moscow, and in 2012 they did a private gig somewhere in France I believe. I'm sure there's been others I'm not thinking of. 

 Thanks for the info, I was searched better and found more information about GNR private shows, so I will update my post to add a list.

 Guns N' Roses did some private shows, like the one that a snippet of The General was recorded so, how many private do we have knowledge?

Who came up with the idea for the name of the band? I guess AXL was Axl?

Axl called the name of the band AXL and then slowly but surely he wanted to take on that name for himself. So he took that name, but I never called him Axl. He was always Bill when I was in the band. Then he reinvented himself. AXL was the original name. After maybe 2 or 3 shows, the name was changed to Rose. Axl Rose (then Bill) had some sort of fall out with Izzy and I and to continue playing as a band , Izzy said we were to change our name to Rose, and we did. The word Hollywood was added when I stumbled upon the name Rose being used by another band. I think they were on the East coast, maybe New York. This was towards the end. It was always the same band, except for the bass player change mid-way. The name of the band (Guns N´ Roses) came because at one point we broke up after a show and Axl joined Tracii´s band LA Guns. So Axl sang with LA Guns for a little while and I think he did some recordings. Then when he came back, when they merged, and this was after I left because I was in Hollywood Rose, they just put the two names together and that´s when Tracii took the spot that I left open. Then Slash joined and then I played another show actually. I played a final show about six months after I left the band. By that time it was…you have to get an exact timeline to figure out what was what.
