To this day, still my all time favorite Axl moment .... the words, the timing on the delivery of said words

Axl Rose is 62 years old. It's fucking insane reading ya'll say shit like "years later" in regards to when GnR will get around to new music .... It's like there's no self awareness that this dude is 62 years old and has had a declining vocal capability for years now ... I swear some of you don't recognize the fact that this isn't 40 year old Axl from 2002 anymore ...

My joke wasn't about this forum, I was making a joke about a "News" section on Axl's website lmao

Most useless "News" section in the history of the internet ???

Bucket & Finck (and Huge) > Modern Slash

Love So Fine. Listen to it a lot. I never watched and never will The General music video. Probably will never listen to it again either (saying that after all these years is such a crazy thing)

Yeah, and I agree it doesn't need anything else. I think his songs the way they are are just fine. But many are, and I dont mean this in a negative way, basic. And with Axl & Slash, or even just Axl, these songs could be, sonically, bigger. An example: Spazed. With Axl on vocals, I feel this song would automatically be better.

When I first started listening to Izzy's stuff, there were many moments where I thought "Man if Axl sang on this, and Slash added some sleazy riffs, this would be a GnR song"

There are more Izzy songs I'll listen to over Slash songs. Slash's two solo albums have some good stuff, but Izzy's songs are just more raw and heartfelt. I recently listened to 5 O' Clock and Aint Life Grand and for the most part it was meh. Izzy's albums are more enjoyable.

If released & promoted traditionally, Izzy's work would definitely be more known. There's a lot of good stuff in those albums. River, start to finish, is fantastic.

I don't count random single song releases.

Izzy, like Axl, has also seemingly retired from releasing new music. Axl in 2008, and Izzy in 2010. Interesting coincidence.

Right. And 2010 was the rumored (and Axl-given) date for when ChiDem 2 would release, along with the remix album. We also know ChiDem for all intents and purposes was finished and ready to go in 2006 (and 2002 really), so 2007-2009 is the most likely timeframe for when the remix album was worked on.

I'm not sure about that. But we do know the remix album was worked on around the same time ChiDem was released, so most likely those vocals are from around that time as well. Definitely not after 2010. And since Axl planned on the remix album being released along with ChiDem 2, we can strongly infer he recorded those vocals specifically for the remix.

I don't. We know he rerecorded the vocals for This I Love specifically for that remix. And there's no other vocals used in those remixes from unreleased songs. It's actually, based on what we know, and the information we have, very likely that Axl simply recorded that line specifically for the Prostitute remix.

Yeah that's what we ended up assuming you meant lol

You're all forgetting the most IMPORTANT factor to these desires. Axl writing lyrics and recording vocals.

Yup, which is why before I made that point I said "commercially" to distinguish his creating and playing music personally from creating and playing to be released for the public to hear. Who cares what Axl is doing musically in private, for himself? I sure dont. I only care about what he's doing or will do that I'll be able to hear.

Highly doubtful. I remember in the China Exchange interview he talked about interest in creating film scores, which I think he would be really good at considering the instrumental movie like quality of many GnR songs. But that was now back in 2016 and most likely has gone nowhere. I think, as far as commercial ventures goes, it's clear Axl has been creatively retired since 2008. Singing on a cartoon show does not count, as many hear like to think it does. Releasing 4 songs that are over 20 years old and pretending that they're new I think is the strongest evidence towards his creative retirement.

This, or recorded specifically for the remix, are the most likely answers, a lot more than coming from an unreleased song imo, especially considering I don't believe there are more finished unreleased songs from ChiDem.

I still dont understand how The General & Monsters helps to narrow down where Blood in the Water vocals comes from. We have literally no information regarding this. How do we know that's even from an unreleased song? Axl could have recorded that specifically for that remix, like how he went back and recorded This I Love.

Yeah kinda confused as to what he's talking about. I thought it was obvious that it instrumentally was a remix of Prostitute. I haven't seen anyone discuss Blood in the Water in regard to The General or Monsters either.

Huh?

The one thing I always loved about the BD Sweet Child is Axl's vocals I think they're so cool after it switches to the "new" recording

Yup, and as far as I remember, this was basically all there was to it, and we heard nothing else since until now.
