Did he say that? Interesting that he's commenting on it! 

Here's the exact quote:

"...lots of it is an incredible luxury as far as I'm concerned, because I'm like, with Nirvana- I'm in the t-shirt business."

Here's the full interview if you're interested, that part is around 14 min.

Yeah definitely that. 

I saw six Nirvana shirts the other morning and one Nirvana shopping bag, within about an hour. 

Difficult to see Kurt being thrilled by that though! 

To quote recent interview with Krist Novoselic from Nirvana: "I'm in the t-shirt selling business now".

How is that version on SoundCloud still up? I had a pretty clear recording I took. Went to upload it and literally immediately got flagged that it could be copywritten etc etc and my upload was pulled. 

You could try one of the youtube alternatives like bilibili or tokyvideo, they seemingly don't care about copyright at all.

Rage Against the Machine.  3 great albums, followed up by a covers album. A break up and a few reunion tours but nothing else.  Zack even hurt his foot during the reunion tour.

 

System of a down is another, came out with a fire discography, broke up and they still do shows and tours but other than a couple of random songs they put out for charity a couple years ago nothing.

System of a Down has some parallels for sure. The two part record- Mezmerize/ Hypnotize and then 15 year break before the two charity singles in 2020.

Fun fact: Coincidentally, on the same night GN'R played in Athens recently, The Sisters of Mercy were playing at a festival somewhere else in the city. That's a band that hasn't released an album of original material since 1990 but has been touring regularly. I've said it before, but I think Andrew Eldritch of The SoM is probably the closest to Axl there is. The only difference is that he has outright stated that although he still likes making music and endlessly tinkering with it, he doesn't like getting in the process of releasing it.

And after watching some videos from their performance in Athens, I found out that there's much worse than Axl in terms of vocal deterioration as well.

I saw The Sisters of Mercy in '06 (still sounded pretty good) and they played 8 new songs! None of them got released. 10 years later Eldritch said if Donald Trump gets elected that's reason enough for him to finally put out an album.  Still no album.

So, Axl definitely isnt' the worst.

It wouldn't be the first time that Eddie's predictions and information were wrong. I still hope it's for Schenker's record. 

Schenker could be doing an album with re-recordings of his old songs?

Was it the "Who Am I" Chan movie the song was rumoured for? 

I think it was for Mr. Nice Guy (1997)  but who knows.

They really should just play an instrumental medley of lesser played songs. There's some killer riffs that will never be heard live.

Sabbath did something similar when I saw them in '05 and it was great. This is from that tour:

Buckethead is doing a collaboration album with singer Azam Ali! Pretty cool  and unexpected news. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10158294952991511&set=a.420963746510

There was another great Brain interview (on a podcast) in 2018, not well known I believe, where he said more like this.

I love that interview!

  From the Rolling Stone interview with the director, Taika Waititi:

You’ve said you were aiming for a sort of 1980s adventure-movie feel in this one. Was that why you leaned so hard on Guns N’ Roses in the soundtrack?

Yeah, for sure. You can see some of the influences in Chris’ [alternate] Thor costume, with the singlet. That’s obviously an homage to Big Trouble in Little China, to [Kurt Russell’s] Jack Burton. I just wanted the whole thing to feel like an electric-guitar lead break. All the art and everything, it feels like an ’80s album cover. Even the title treatment — I wanted it all to feel like something I would draw on my school book in class, when I was perfecting the Metallica [logo].

Did you have to be in any negotiations with Guns N’ Roses?

At one point, the music supervisors were like, you might have to have a chat with Axl. But I was just getting scared. He’s one of the greatest icons for me.

That's interesting. I can see why that becomes an issue. Which one has the more 'usual' way of working? Is there a more usual way?

With the disclaimer that I have never written a song nor played an instrument beyond the recorder in school, Axl's method seems the most logical to me. It strikes me as harder to write a song around guitar riffs than to overlay them onto something that already has structure and lyrics.

People mostly write music first but "Axl's method" is actually a legitimate way to work. I know last Rob Zombie album was written that way, Zombie did all the vocals with a rhythm machine before the band started working on it. Ozzy also comes to mind, in Sabbath he would sing over Iommi's riffs but in his solo career sometimes he would sing a vocal melody to the guitarist and have him figure out what to play underneath.

Did Robin ever record with NIN? Probably a dumb question, I know he tours with them all the time.

I listed to The Downward Spiral a lot.

Not much, but he did record couple of songs with NIN over the years. Memorabilia, cover of Soft Cell from Closer to God single. The Day The World Went Away, acoustic version from Still EP and pretty much whole The Slip free album from '08.

My own theory is that Hard School came from the 94-96 session. The song structure is classic GNR. I don't think Nu-GNR worked on it. Also Hard School was once known as Jackie Chan. In a 1997 interview, Duff alluded to the Jackie Chan song when he was still in GNR at the time. 

I tried to figure out what Jackie Chan movie was it for. Seems to be Mr. Nice Guy, the one where he fights one of my favorite Martial Artists- Richard Norton Anyway, I do agree that Duff was talking about Hard School (in a Howard Stern interview) , it only makes sense.

Ozzy Osbourne has hit the studio with Andrew again. Will Duff be there too?

 

I mean Axl, come on! 

It seems Duff won't be here this time, if you look at the video Watt posted on IG, it's Rob Trujillo on bass (that would be his first time on Ozzy record since '01).
