I think people don't understand what TB do. Its very clear on the bands website, TB manage the business affairs of Guns N Roses and one would presume Axl Rose. 

For what ever reason people seem to think TB do everything. TB have never stated publicly, that they are a record label, booking agent, concert promotor, an A & R representative, video production company, legal representatives etc.

From the outside, it' seems Axl has a lot of trust and faith in the Lebeis family and they offer him stability and loyalty within his own personal space. 

I think Vanessa plays a bigger part in Axl's day to day decision making, but flys under the radar compared to others in that family. 

That's understandable given members of the family have been involved in Axl's life for many years. 

The group that Axl has around him, seems to be working for Axl as he is clearly a very different person today, then 20 years ago, including being a much happier person in life.

It's clear Axl himself with the help of those around him has exercised some demons from his past. I would suggest if members of the Lebeis family have been involved in that, then they have done their jobs as managers... 

People think that the management's role is to force a release out from the artist. Even though Axl struggled a lot with CD, it wouldn't come out if didn't want to. It's the same thing now: the band is not releasing new music because Axl didn't want to work on it before. 

We don't even know if he's working on it right now, although it's very likely that home demos or even previous years recordings could be worked on (individually). It seems like everyone in the band but Axl would be more than ok to get together and write and release new things. Still, people think it's TB's job to force him to move on. He's not a baby.

orchestral of se7en?

 

With AI, you should probably be aware that fake stuff like this will pop-up a lot more here. The uploader didn't say where it came from and, judging by the sound of it, sounds totally like Garage Band fake orchestra and synths.

Another new Slash feature. Someones been busy. 

 

Slash's solo is amazing, but the song is way too long (which I don't mind if the music is interesting, but in that case I didn't really think much of it).

He mentioned something about the newer NITL singles, which I assume are Perhaps and Hard Skool. Wasn't there some debate about HS, if it was him or Brain? 

He's super cool and I was surprised when Rick asked about CD, it was almost the end of the interview. I'd love to hear him talk about the album in a technical level.

In case any of you are curious, here's the video played in the background:

There's a new Tommy Stinson interview conducted by a friend of mine for a Brazilian website. There's no real news, he repeated what he said before about his thoughts on CD, the different personas in the band and so and so. He did say that TWAT was his favorite song, and Catcher had "interesting lyrics". 

If people want, I can translate the exact quote. Or you can just use Google Translator:

I don't recognize any of these quotes at all, none of them, where are they pulling these from?

I don't know either. I was hoping for @Blackstar to point exactly from where those came from lol

Where does this quote come from? When or where has he said that?

After a quick search on Google, I found this website citing this quote, but it did not say from where:

LOL I didn't notice that. Sorry, I'm an amateur.

Now this is what the AFD lineup is supposed to sound like, not the sloppy mess that was Ritz '88.

I agree, but to be very cynical, Axl's voice here wasn't in a good shape either. And I like the album arrangements better than this pre-AFD state, most notably Rocket Queen's outro, Anything Goes lyrics and Nightrain extended outro.

I really have no idea but if I had to bet my money I’d say the third single will be released around the time the album is coming on May 17. 
We know he recorded another video with that hollow body guitar in that bar. 
 

If I had to guess I’d say it’s Crossroads with Gary Clarke jr. I can guarantee you it’s not the song with Beth Hart, since that one is 8 min. long.

 

Edit: Someone with knowledge could tell which song would be a good fit for that guitar. @Voodoochild?

I think he's using that guitar for most of the record, not just one song.

I think he used it for Oh Well too. You can hear him attacking the tremolo bar in the outro.

I like it more than Killing Floor. 

At the end (3:40 ish) is that him using the bigsby bar in his new guitar?

I've watched once it came out and I wish I hadn't.

It was already been discussed here:

Looks like Pink Floyd is getting similar backlash to GNR with respect to AI in their videos:

Interesting discussion happening right now as to when and where computer generation is appropriate.  I think some artists can get away with it (particularly EDM artists) where computer technology has long been associated the art form.

I don't think AI is something that works all too well with classic rock artists.  It just feels like jumping on the bandwagon as a means to recapture relevancy.  

IMO because it all feels like an already outdated esthetic. Not as cool as 60s Beatles, but just some trippy-ish noise that people will find it (even more) ridiculous in the future. 

Kind of like this very 2000s visuals:

And it's such a minor thing... but the text being off-center on the artwork is annoying the shit out of me.

 

AI ruins everything!

A magnificent guitar in magnificent hands. Peter Green will always be my favorite when it comes to tone. 

I def prefer Gary Moore. This is unbelievably good. 

1 minute ago, MaskingApathy said:

Yeah because he has a real producer on this album (Clink), not a wannabe no name (Caram).

There's some no names that are good.

What?  I was not aware of that. I had to google it. Crazy indeed.

Yeah, and before that it was on Thin Lizzy with Gary Moore (and in his solo career). It's an awesome piece of history.

I noticed Fortus liked the post. Maybe he recorded rhythm for this one too?
