Questions

Does anybody have pictures of the Perhaps tour hoodie? It's not available on gnrmerchtruck, but my friend said they're selling a Perhaps hoodie at the gigs.

I believe in the forum chats he did. 2009ish?

As Axl said, GNR has two drummers. Frank hasn't been relegated to anything because his role is the same it's always been.

Sure, but I don't think it's an accident that the piano driven songs that leaked were put on the album and the piano driven songs that didn't leak were saved for later.

I don't know if Axl himself ever mentioned a trilogy of albums. Seems the plan for a while was to release two albums worth of material from the sessions. Which songs ended up on the first album and which were saved for the second album seems to have been largely shaped by what had leaked. If Best Buy was paying you guaranteed money for the first album, it would make sense to unload as many of the already leaked songs as possible. If Eddie Trunk had played Perhaps on the radio in 2005, I'm sure it would have been put on the first album instead of being saved.

I see no reason why GNR can't continue to release two songs from the vault every couple years for quite a while if they so desire.
