Well I think it's alright for Slash to experiment with singers from a different genre. It's his solo album and maybe the songs he has written suits Nicole in some way or another. It is also a very strategic move on Slash's part to incorporate famous singers on his album, in terms of marketing, it is certainly without doubt a plus point. This certainly beats having gigs in Japan with unknown musicians one year after the "much-anticipated" album has been released. Slash is doing more with his life and talent than Axl is, without question.

The song is indeed real, but not a Guns N' Roses song. Slash recorded it for a movie soundtrack. This is a bit of info from Wikipedia:In 1996, Slash collaborated with Marta Sánchez to record the flamenco-inspired song, "Obsession-Confession" for the Curdled soundtrack. The song was received well by Smooth Jazz radio stations.
Here's a Guitar Pro file for it. I have no clue who made it as I downloaded it from MySongBook years ago:

Thanks a lot buddy! Btw, Kiss rocks man!

Hey I'm obsessed with the song. Could any of you give me a link to some tabs or music sheets that could help me out? Thanks a lot, I'd really appreciate it.
-
Oh my God. Thanks Axl for everything, hope to hear more from you. My best regards. And if you ever decide to come to Malaysia, I'll be happy to show you around man. Tc. God Bless.

You guys are lame and childish. Nobody is going to fall for this shit.
I'm going to go listen to Guns N' Roses - Every Rose Has It's Thorn
Hahahaha.. While your at it, I think I'll listen to some genuine gnr s well.. Guns N' Roses - Cats In The Cradle
-
Haha.. I've been rick rolled way too many times!!!
-
They are retarded if they don't know that's a Jack Black song from The Pick Of Destiny
Haha, I know but do you think that there is a possibility that Jack Black was kinda inspired by Axl's and Slash relationship.. And I honestly think he's tryin to sound like Axl there..
-
Dude, the slideshow and music and words.. Are like.. DAMN! It's like meant to be a GNR soing..
.. The guy kinda does sound like our man too.. -

Call me crazy but I think that IF they do decide to come out with a video, I think the first video and also the first single should be I.R.S. Well, the reason I think is like what someone said up there that MTV doesn't play the good stuff anymore.. I mean, how often do you see a video by Guns or Def Leppard on MTV...? If they choose I.R.S. as the first video, I'm sure it'll at least get some playtime on air.. I fell that I.R.S. somehow provides like an appeal to the new generation of music... I mean, people will actually like it... I mean, personally, I feel Madagascar is a better song but, I don't think it'll get ANY air-time it's that's the first video... And therefore, giving the band a bad start... Therefore I'm rooting for I.R.S.!!!!
-
But wasn't the track Brian May played on "Catcher In The Rhye"? I don't think he did anything on "There Was A Time"...
-
I will be downloading it on day one. If it is good enough to be worth purchasing, I will then buy it. I don't trust Axl's ability or his loyalty to the fans enough to pay up front.
By contrast, VR have earned my trust just like the origional guns lineup did, and therefore VR's album will be on preorder as would any reunion album.
Right on bro.. I agree totally with you.. Hell, i'll download it, and then maybe (no promises) buy it...
-
Yes.. Slash comin back is something I really wanna see...
-
Shit man.. I'm sick and tired of Axl dissin other bands and thinkin he is the king.. Screw Axl.. Enough is enough.. He ain't the man he once was.. Once Chinese Democracy is finished (if it's ever complete), Axl can shove it up his own ass for all I care.. I love GNR, but this unacceptable..
-
haha dickwad
There is no problem with the backing vocals. They are perfect and Axl is perfect.
Follow Axl's actions or you cannot call yourself a GN'R fan!
Yeah rrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttteeeeeeee..... Just wanna remind you that Guns is made uo of more than Axl.. At least the old band is.. But if you're talkin bout the new band, then I'll agree with you.. Cos' that ain't Guns, tat's Axl's Guns...
Read the post above mine and maybe you'll see where I was going.
I guess we're all in this together then.. Am just so sick of people who think Axl is Mr.GNR.. I mean, COME ON! What would November Rain be without the solos? What would Sweet Child O' Mine be without the awesome solos? And, Welcome To The Jungle without the mega riffing... Oh I know, they'll all probably sound like My World.. That's what happens if Axl=GNR.. Or at IF least thinks he can do everything..
-
There is only one problem with november rain, And I know exaclty what it is...
A8R
haha dickwad
those who do not follow axls actions cannot call themselves a gnr fan
I hope thats sarcasm
Am really hoping with you man... If it is supposed to be sarcasm, it's definitly not at it's best...

chinese democracy or irs for single
i have my doubts about IRS
Well, to tell you the truth.. I feel IRS is going to be 'the' song that appeals to the public.. But I am not quite sure if T.W.A.T will make it big.. Better is also a really good song... But pls dont start by comparing these new material to classics like SCOM and WTTJ... You'll just make these songs look really small... hahahaha... they're no where close...

GUNS N' ROSES: DON'T LET THE HYPE SET YOU UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT
by Buck Woodward @ 10:16:00 PM on 3/15/2006
"Did you hear the new Guns N' Roses song?"
"Did you hear Chinese Democracy is finally coming out, and it will be a three-disc set?"
"Did you read what Axl said about Slash?"
"Did you hear who Axl is touring with this summer?"
"Did you hear about Axl walking into a club at 5am and having the DJ play Chinese Democracy on the sound system?
STOP THE INSANITY, PEOPLE!
That's not insanity! That's news!
The rest I didn't bother to read!
Read It, It's really kinda interesting.. Not exactly true but interesting...
-
If you are still a fan of Axl, I implore you to be prepared for the worst. The album, the tour, anything involving Guns N' Roses at this point might very well leave you disappointed. I've seen enough disappointed Guns N' Roses fans. I don't need to see any more.
We dont need to see you anymore
hahahahahahahha... Yeah but poor guy had to wait for the concert...

STOP THE INSANITY, PEOPLE!
It amazes me how someone who hasn't released a full-length album of original material in 15 years can still get so much press and attention. Then again, maybe I shouldn't be amazed. After all, Axl Rose is right up there with Sly Stone, Peter Green and all the other musical geniuses who seem to go into hiding rather than sharing their gifts with the world, only to make occasional appearances that always disappoint. Because if there is one thing Axl has been good at doing in the last decade, it is disappointing people. In fact, I can think of one time he disappointed a lot of people.
Now personally, I was never a fanatic about GN'R, but I did enjoy the music. I loved Appetite For Destruction, and thought Use Your Illusion could have been an incredible single-disc release if they had trimmed off the fat. Guns N' Roses had a little Aerosmith (okay, a lot of Aerosmith), a little Sex Pistols, and a little Queen all mixed into a classic "bad boys" rock package. They were a good rock act, and when they were on, could be incredible in concert. I saw them in 1992, and while Metallica unquestionably kicked their asses (sorry, Metallica was a band, not a few guys with a bunch of hired hands), Guns more than delivered on stage.
Then in the mid-90's, it all fell apart. After only three original albums, an EP, a covers album, and a few soundtrack contributions, it was all over. Slowly, the last two original members, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, left the group, and Guns N' Roses was no more. Axl Rose, who owned the name, seemed content to do nothing, until he burst back on the scene in 2002. A new backing band, the promise of a new album titled Chinese Democracy, and the announcement of a major tour, one that would begin before the actual release of the album. A lot of people were excited. Me? I had no intention of going. I had seen GN'R at their best, so I was in no rush to see Axl and a glorified cover band reliving the past.
Then the call came. Two of my best friends from Japan were coming to the United States for a visit, and would be spending time with me in New York City while one of them trained at the Gracie Dojo in Manhattan. Naturally, being a good host, I asked what activities they would be interested in while in New York. As expected, they wanted to see some wrestling, go shopping in New York, visit Times Square ... and see Guns N' Roses (or as I now referred to them, Axl Inc.). The band was scheduled to play Madison Square Garden on December 5th, but that conflicted with other plans, so instead we opted to attend a show in Philadelphia the next night. Knowing Axl's past reputation for taking the stage late, I was relieved to read that the Garden show had gone off without a hitch, and was actually getting positive reviews.
So, it was off to Philadelphia to see Axl Inc. at the First Union Center. Thanks to a shocking lack of traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, we got to the venue early, and around 5:30pm, were wandering around the concourse, checking out tour merchandise and listening to roadies tuning up CKY's equipment. The opening act for the show, CKY was based out of Philadelphia, and they delivered a strong 40-minute set starting right on the dot at 7pm. So far, so good. I was actually expecting a longer set, since I had seen a scheduling sheet that listed Axl Inc. as hitting the stage at 9pm. Instead, Mix Master Mike, a DJ came out around 8pm and began spinning records. He would get the occasional bit of applause for playing a Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or Van Halen cut, but for the most part his set was greeted with apathy or boos. As he set went on past the one hour mark, the boos picked up, and when he finally left the stage at 9:30pm, I suspected Axl was up to his old tricks.
Sure enough, 10pm came and went, and still no Axl. Surprisingly, there didn't seem to be many people upset about the situation. It was as if everyone accepted the fact that when it comes to Axl Rose, you may be waiting a while for the show to begin. Of course, some complaints did begin to surface when concession stands began running out of food, since they obviously didn't expect to be serving people for over three hours before the headline act hit the stage. As it creeped closer to 11pm, people began to boo and chant "Bull****" and "A**hole". Just at 11pm, I saw a man approach the soundboard in the center of the arena. A few words were exchanged, and with a look of disgust on his face, the soundman pulled the cover onto the board and walked off.
When it is 11pm, and the sound guy is covering his board up and leaving, that isn't a good sign.
Apparently, I wasn't the only one who noticed this, as boos grew louder, and garbage started flying from the upper decks of the balcony, directed at the stage. After a half-full beer landed at the feet of my friend, I suggested we move to the relative safety of an entranceway. We stood there and watched as more garbage was flung, and security started ejecting a few people. Then at 11:16pm, a voice came over the PA system that "Due to an illness within the band, tonight's concert is being postponed".
They might as well have poured a puddle of gasoline and threw a lit match at it.
Fans (some of whom had been drinking in the arena's bar until they ran out of beer) who had just watched five or more hours of their lives wasted got angry. Soon it wasn't garbage being flung at the stage, but chairs. Chairs were also flung at the soundboard, which was soon toppled over as equipment was stomped and smashed. Arena security, ridiculously unprepared, seemed content to just make sure people that wanted to were able to get out of the way, while letting the others trash the stage and soundboard. When some ingenious individual realized you could tear open the seat cushion on the folding chair and light it on fire, I knew it was time to leave. Quickly.
We made it to my car, and slowly got out of the parking lot as police cars started to surround the venue. The local radio stations were filled with call-ins from angry fans, and as I made it to the safe haven of Tony Luke's (the best damn sandwiches in Philly, by the way) I realize I had just left my first riot. As I headed home that night (my friends were staying in Pennsylvania with another friend that night), I heard that all fans would receive refunds that purchased tickets via Ticketmaster.com (otherwise, you needed to bring your stub to the point of purchase). However, knowing I would get my $65 back was little consolation for not only wasting my day, but wasting the time of my friends. Understand, they paid a lot of money to come to the U.S., and a whole afternoon and evening of their short stay that could have been spent doing something else, was instead devoted to waiting around for Axl Rose to disappoint them.
As it turns out, Clear Channel Entertainment, who were promoting the tour, had enough of Axl disappointing them as well. The rest of the tour was scrapped, and to date, Guns N' Roses has not performed a concert since, although there are festival dates set for overseas this summer. Chinese Democracy? Still hasn't been released, and there is still no firm in-store date, even though there is a lot of talk that the now three-disc set will eventually see the light of day.
I won't lie, I will probably check out the new release, if and when it ever comes out. It's probably got no chance of living up to the expectations that some will have, but I always try to listen to music with an open mind. Will I buy a ticket to see Axl Inc. in concert? No chance. Maybe if it was some sort of reunion of the Illusion-era lineup, but I think we have a better chance of seeing a Beatles reunion at this point.
If you are still a fan of Axl, I implore you to be prepared for the worst. The album, the tour, anything involving Guns N' Roses at this point might very well leave you disappointed. I've seen enough disappointed Guns N' Roses fans. I don't need to see any more.

Well, to start, i think this past few weeks was... CRAZY! I'm really excited, i'm as excited as everyone of you out there... Everything started happening so fast.. I just managed to listen to all the leaked tracks except Catcher In The Rhye.. And, I really think the music sounds great... Well, just wanted to know what the forum thought about it... have the songs met your expectations? It certainly met mine.... So now brian May said that he worked with Axl... it just can't be better... And the fact that brian said that "Axl, is MAGIC!"..is just AWESOME!! So I really think that Chinese Democracy so far seems like it has been worth the wait... Wat abt u guys? but I did relise though, tat on songs like "Better", "There Was A Time"... the solos aren't that impressive... Do you think that Axl is trying to do without long solos? Well maybe he wants to avoid tat becos on some songs like "Estranged" and 'sweet Child O' Mine" the last time, Slash got most of the credit... but anyways, i sure hope that's not the case... So wat is ur favourite song out of the lot? And I've been thinking, which single do you think the band should release 1st? i mean thats gonna be really a decisive factor... because for some people that is gonna represent the Guns N' Roses name... I mean some of them dont even know the band, so I think they should release their best song 1st... Which for me is definately "I.R.S"... Wat do you guys think? i really hope to hear your views.. damn, I'M REALLY EXCITED!!!

good post, but i cant see another band ever being like guns n' roses, other than guns n' roses lol, the closest from my point of view could be the darkness but i aint to sure
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yeah me too, I think right now the darkness looks pretty good.... I mean they are the closest.... But Silvertide ain't that bad too.... But in my opinion, nothing compared to GNR....
-
I've always wondered if there would ever be another band as influencial as our GNR... I mean even the old bands were not even close to GNR... GNR were in a genre of their own and also a world of their own. They were known for being ROCKERS THAT DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING..... I mean even at that time, they were one of the only bands that were known to be fearless of anything, even havoc caused in the media... They had an identity of their own.. For example, no guitarist was seen with a Jack Daniels bottle in his hand everywhere he went, even to the awards... And Axl had his own thing going on, like the bandana he wore evrytime, and the short pants he wore during concerts, and also his bad-ass attitude.. So in my opinion, i really think that NO OTHER BAND IN HISTORY will ever come close to our GNR... What do you guys think? Will there ever be another GNR? (VERY curious to know)

March 24th, 2013 - Sepang, Malaysia
in 2013 Tour Dates
Posted · Edited by Scorpio King 511
Hey guys! It's been ages since I've posted anything on here. The forum looks so different! I was at the Guns concert at Sepang (I'm from Malaysia you see.), and I took a few pictures, slightly blurry though. It was so exciting seeing Axl and the band for the first time. They sounded great. I can die a happy man now that I've seen both Mr.Rose and Mr.Hudson live, although separately!
