I was reading a GN'R book and one thing I recall being kind of funny was that when Paul McCartney's kids saw GNR in the U.K. they told their father that Live and Let Die was their favorite song.

Matt helped them hang on for a few years but after endless touring and it was time for a new album they couldn't do it.One of the reasons izzy left is because he wasn't feeling it with Matt Sorum. Axl wasn't feeling it with Gilby and without Izzy songwriting couldn't get done.Brain and Frank have been awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsalinger Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The album was called 2000 Intentions in the same way that the next album is called CD2. In other words, at that time (98-99) they intended to have the album out by 2000. So somebody (probably at Geffen) made that up as a temporary title for a list of future album releases, until the actual title was later revealed by Axl to be Chinese Democracy.Paul Stanley wanted to produce Appetite, not Gene. The band never took it seriously, so he was never "going to" produce the album. The band discussed firing Axl with Alan Niven on at least one occasion, but to my knowledge nothing was ever actually done about it, and it also happened well before the signing over of the name.

rose_dawson7 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 This is an interesting one.... Axl once said that his favorite song in Chinese Democracy is There Was A Time, however, he realizes it's impossible to do the song justice vocally in a live performance.

The phrase refers to a time that someone (slash?) ate Adler's spaghetti - according to Slash's or Duff's book (i forget which).UYI was most certainly NOT the longest tour ever. the dead toured CONSTANTLY from the 1960s-1990s. Bob Dylan has been on the "neverending tour" since 1988. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Ending_Tour The band never fired axl, but the possibility was suggested to Slash and Duff by then manager Alan Niven. Niven was later canned for that.Gene Simmons was NEVER slated to produce AFD - it was Paul Stanley. Edited May 5, 2012 by nonlinear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think somebody at the record company made that up, because they were told the album would be ready in 2000 but didn't have a title yet.

shotgunblues1978 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Chinese Democracy isn't even close to the most expensive album ever madeMichael Jackson's Invincible cost $30 million to makeIn reality though the most expensive album ever made was Mariah Carey's Glitter. She signed a $100 million, 5 album deal with Virgin Records. The first album on the deal flopped so badly that they bought the remainder of her contract out for $50 million. So that was a $70 million album, in essence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
