Michir Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Is it known if GN'R recorded any original music/demos/song ideas between 1993 and 1996? I've read on other forums about a "lost" GN'R album from the mid '90s...? What's that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Axl has said in a chat (I think, or an interview) that he has plenty of blues-based Slash demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One.In.A.Million Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I can't imagine there's a lot to be honest. The "lost" GN'R album people go on about would of been a lot of the 95 Snakepit album, which Axl refused for Guns material. Other than that I don't think anything was really recorded until at least 97 onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 There was a hoax a couple of years ago about a lost Guns N' Roses album called Gardens City. I've made enough research on this topic to assure that such album never existed in any form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The beginning and end of Slash and Axl involved arguing over a tape...I know in Weiland's book, he said Slash, Duff, and Matt gave him something that sounded like "Bad Company music", and I'm wondering if those were some of the same songs Axl rejected. I'm sure by now, Slash put all those songs out from the mid 90s on different albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 If there are any known recordings featuring Axl, they are harder to find than proof of who killed JFK.All accounts from the old band members as well as "new" members like Zakk Wylde said that there was tons of "jamming" and insturmentals but never any vocals laid down.Same with the first several years worth of CD sessions.

Slash was obstinate and didn't want any input or alterations. Then before anything could be hashed out, he cranked out that album, much to Axl's surprise.

Stro Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I thought there was stuff that went on to be Snakepit, but also another album's worth of demos that were done around the same time. Stuff from 1996ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Fact is that Snakepit's album with Axl & Duff's input would have made a solid Gn'R album - nothing outstanding like UYI but more something like Lies. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Axl, Tobias, sorum, duff, and dizzy were supposed to release an album around 96/97 even though slash left, but duff and Matt left before it was done.... So my guess is it just was devices the new band would start from scratch.I think it was mentioned in a duff or Matt interview... But even though they planned to release an album doesn't mean the had stuff recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicguns4life Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 One example of what could have been a great 'back to the roots' Gn'R song from Slash....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pdsmwQUPUgAin't Life Grand is a phenomenal album from front to back. The only thing that could make it better was if it was a GNR album, and it would possibly be better than Appetite IMO. Not nearly as influential, but it would maybe be the most solid album they had ever released. It gets some sort of notch down from people because its "just a Slash record" but its easily the best thing he's done on his own and I don't ever talk it down like that. A solid album is a solid album no matter who records it, and that album has everything.I've always thought 5 O Clock somewhere is mostly good, occasionally great. It does seem a tad "samey" at times and a bit indulgent. Overall it is a very good record, and I do believe that with Axl and Duff's input it would have gone from good to great. Slash had a killer album here, but because he ended up taking the reins on everything, I do think he missed over chances to fine tune some of the songs and make it a more compact release. At times it feels like things aimlessly go on tangents and with GNR help I don't think that would have happened.Been There Lately is still my favorite Snakepit track, and if GNR were to reunite, I would want them to play this so I can hear how Axl sings these just as I would want to hear them play Chinese Democracy to see how Slash would tackle that. When you hear these separate efforts, it becomes more obvious the strength they had with collaboration. But now we've stepped into my own dreams and out of reality. Its sad none of what I listed will actually ever happen though as it would be truly great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't anything indicating it's existance. Actually, until around a couple of years ago, it had never even been mentioned. There are no evidences apart from some talk here, some talk there, but nothing like interviews, leaked song titles, studio records, nothing. It's a hoax, like the VMA 2002 rehearsal featuring The General. Absolutely bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
