Right around the 4:40 mark-

I was told that the some of the original leaks (early 2000s) were traced back to Fernando, I always thought Fernando/TB thought some of the songs were great and ready to release but Axl didn’t feel the same way. I think that Fernando took things in his own hands and leaked some of the tracks to try to motivate axl to do a proper release of an album, but of course Axl didn’t appreciate that approach once it was traced back to Fernando. I think Axl has everyone where he wants them- the band- keep your mouths shut about gnr related items and you’ll keep getting paid.

I agree with the bootlegging part, if it wasn’t for the leaks we wouldn’t have had anything new for 12 years CD- 2008, locked and loaded I don’t consider new. And I can remember when leaks from CD started coming out earlier in 2008 many people refused to download them because they knew an actual release was imminent. Whereas I think most people downloaded the latest leaks from last year just due to the fact of the last 12 years of crap the fans have received from TB.

Here’s the issue, Axl has surrounded himself with a management team that are trolls, and they enjoy trolling their own fans. Having said that, I will say if you are a good little fan and accept whatever cash grab merchandise they put up for sale then you will be treated okay. But if you dare to bring up a new album (that their own members and management team dangle in front of the fans like a carrot to a horse) you are treated like a piece of crap. For someone who proclaims to hate trump the way Axl does he sure operate the same way. If Axl didn’t want that going on, it would

If all of the CD leaks from last year and all of the post-gnr records that duff,Izzy,slash, Gilby proved anything it is that Axl is the end all be all of new gnr music being released. He surrounded himself with “yes people” during the UYI days and it continues now. Anyone who pushed him to greatness has been blackballed from gnr. The ones who remain and/or came back aren’t going to do or say anything to push Axl, they all want their paychecks to keep rolling in.

Death, taxes, & gnr on never ending tours with promises of a new album.

This. Also, this is part of the reason why I had no sympathy for Axl/Brazil when songs leaks. They (mainly TB, mainly Fernando) would always tease the fans about new music, not so much in a "the band is going to release new music" but more in a sense of "you fans, always whining for new music...whaaa, whaaa, whaa". Then would go on to say that he'd heard new music and it was great. Basically dangling the carrot in front of the horse, and the horse (fans) finally kicked him and got the carrot, then he (amongst others within the circle) looked at the horse and said "we were going to

For me this video and the Axl we saw after this leave the biggest unanswered question- what happened to his voice?, he wasn’t performing or recording songs from 94 until 98-99. and before everyone jumps on me, yes I understand he is older now, people change, appearances change...ect. But his voice was great in 1994, then we he re-emerged in 1998-1999 his voice was completely different. And yes, he will have a verse or 2 when you hear the rasp, even then it isn’t close to what it used to be.

Axl, slash, & Izzy's song writing.
