He isn't but his work still lived on The General and maybe Monsters.

But Caram was Axl's employee, as far as I know. If he's not doing good, it's Axl's responsibility to replace him with anyone else. Sometimes I feel like Axl is trying to sabotage his own band, and I don't think this is far fetched.

This. I can confirm that Sorry is Drop D. Adding to that, from the village demos, D Tune is obviously drop C# (well, it's half step down, so they just called D lol). From what I could tell, only the bass is in drop D. The guitars are standard tuning. Also, Bad Obsession is open F#, IIRC.

I agree that it's likely, but on the other hand, Axl could've just thought of another subject and or theme for Oklahoma/Berlin before having penned the lyrics.

Axl produced the songs too, and he has decision power on it. He wasn't just standing there and trusting blindly that the final product would be good, he (and presumably Slash and Duff) could reject Caram's work just like they rejected the Illusions remixes.

I didn't like this remix. Not saying the official is perfect, but that wasn't an improvement IMO. Intro was too long, thunder noises were also unnecessary (I mean, we already have frogs), and the bridge with Slash's intro pasted before the original bridge also wasn't good.

This is by far the best post in this message board. Thanks for explaining this to me. Indeed, I understand cat language more than legal.

I think I'll need a press conference with Blackstar and BucketEgg to understand all this.

What makes you think it would be out only in late 2024? I think it's very likely that it could be ready before June.

"From this parable we can learn much about the Labour leadership’s state of mind. " No, we don't. That was awful lol.

The title of Bring it Back Home video on YouTube doesn't help. It should be clear that it's not an unreleased song, but rather a fan remix/rework.

After delivering a beautiful variation of Patience's 2nd chorus, Axl pinpoint exactly where Slash is:

I think it was being written before, with Matt still in the band?

It came from Fernando but it wasn't his intent. He just trusted some people, who trusted some other people, who trusted some other people....

Credibility aside, I'd like to hear how that music was coming out with that lineup. Seems very interesting to me to have Duff and Robin playing together, I don't think Duff talked much about it.

Thanks! I'm proud of how close to Bucket's tone I got in the intro too (I used a leslie-like effect, which is the same as used by Hendrix in the song Angel).

Now that's something I didn't know. It makes sense, as it does sound like something Izzy could've come up with.

I think this guy really nailed Bucket's solo in Better. I've never seen anyone doing it with such precision, and IMO it's miles better than what I did. Sure it's weird that he's playing a strat and the final note doesn't sound really like what Bucket plays, but overall, I def think this guy deserves way more views. I don't know him, BTW.

Pretty good. Very impressive work with Axl's vocals.

Yeah, the recording quality is always something that tends to influence. And not many people bother to listen to non-soundboard bootlegs, so they just don't know about other performances. For instance, I think this is the best IRS performance (at least vocally), but the recording quality is shite (LOUD AS FUCK WARNING):

I respect everyone's opinions, but you're all wrong. Best Street of Dreams to me is the combination of Albany overall with Richard's Pittsburgh 2002 solo. As we can only pick one, just check Axl's voice on this one: One that nobody will talk about, but it's my personal favorite: Riad's best performance is by far the Vegas one. And I had this opinion even before the DVD surfaced.

I don't really care for AC/DC, but the gig clearly meant a lot to him. So yeah, he absolutely should've been there.

Happy new year!

People were dancing in the hallways shouting GNR is back!
