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?

Sorry, if I'm late but do we have a list of the songs on the album with the guest vocalists?

We do:

Apparently this comes from the Australian iTunes Store:

Slash’s Orgy of the Damned out May 17th
1. The Pusher (feat. Chris Robinson)
2. Crossroads (feat. Gary Clark Jr.)
3. Hoochie Coochie Man (feat. Billy Gibbons)
4. Oh Well (feat. Chris Stapleton)
5. Key to the Highway (feat. Dorothy)
6. Awful Dream (feat. Iggy Pop)
7. Born Under a Bad Sign (feat. Paul Rodgers)
8. Papa Was a Rolling Stone (feat. Demi Lovato)
9. Killing Floor (feat. Brian Johnson)
10. Living for the City (feat. Tash Neal)
11. Stormy Day (feat. Beth Hart)
12. Metal Chesnut

“Killing Floor” is the first single. Must be awkward for Axl to see Slash collab with the guy he replaced in acdc lol.

Perhaps.

He closed his X account just to public view?

No, he just changed his settings for not letting other people tag him in pictures.

What songs on any Guns record has Fortus played lead on?

Monsters and allegedly, Absurd.

Like a husband in a miserable marriage he found himself a lover, and that mistress was Snakepit. Again, nothing wrong with it. 

Unless you're the wife.

Well, the thing is: could Axl release something now without Slash and Duff's approval? I strongly doubt it. So no, they are not just employees with minimal partnership status.

My assumption is it would be like the 2008 album, where Bumblefoot plays a handful of solos, and has bits throughout the songs. I believe a lot of what Bucket and Robin did was intact then.

Yeah, the Silkworms, OMG and Going Down leaks are very good hints at this possibility.

Is this where the next GNR single will leak?

Yeah, people here are nuts. He is just wearing something comfortable and casual while going to a store.

It was just a joke 

Don't know the details. But let's hope someone from the band show up there at the gala.

Have Slash and Duff ever met Brain? I’m figuring they’re aware he plays drums on the new songs, but even then.

Yeah, Brain was there with the band in the 2022 South American tour at least.

IMO, they don't have to release a cover album, but I wouldn't mind if they did. And I love Wichita too. 

Ideally, I wish they just release anything in a proper manner - I mean, in album format. They don't have to expect that every song will be loved, so release whatever they already have and move on. From when they released Absurd to now, they could've already released 2 albums worth of new songs (and I'm including CD era tracks here too). 

The best way to deal with all the pressure is to release it. 

I can't keep up with this thread, you guys are faster than my ability to read all of this. 

Very impressive. I didn't hear the whole thing, but the parts I've heard were pretty good. I mean, I understand the thing with Axl's imitations, but the guy is very talented in his own right. I almost feel like he could do better by not trying to imitate Axl's voice and go with a more unique approach. 

The acoustic renditions were very good too, the guy is talented. I do think it would be better with a more different arrangement, as some stuff was too close to the electric guitar version.

So do we know if the guy singing is any good?

I believe it's Axl. I think he may have been asked about it during the forum chats. It's been a while since i read them but I think someone mentioned it and asked why he didn't play guitar more and his response was something like 'lack of skill'.. I can believe it's him as that part is one of the few guitar parts of that song that would be easy lol.

I believe he also was involved in playing rhythm guitar on Maddy or at least the early versions of it

He said he wrote leads for Madagascar and TWAT and I 100% believe this is what we heard in some parts of the Village demos, which are horrendous. 

I doubt he played the acoustic rhythm guitar on TWAT. It's an important part and integral to get it right with timing, tone and all.

Thanks, do you know who plays the acoustic on it?

Not sure, but AFAIK it was present in the 1999 version, so I'd say it's either Paul or Robin.
