Can't wait to hear the CD.I hope you reach your needed dollar amount.And on a side note, take NOTHING that people here say personally. There will be 4-5 douchebags that will make personal attacks on you - just don't let it bother you!!! The "why are you betraying a friend" and "you are just after the money, why not release it for free" and comments like that.The rest of us are glad to have you here!!!!!

KevinLawrence Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 How different was it to work with .bill Bailey? Were there already elements of Axl Rose then?I loved working with Bill. He was prompt, learned my songs quickly, helped promote the band and sang his ass off. Great guy to be in a band with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep that in mind. They don't have to get the CD if they think its a money grab. Thats fine with me. I only want satisfied listeners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinLawrence Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 So the songs were already developed when Bill/Axl got there? Did he contribute to any song writing before he left?Thanks for doing this, Kevin.The band was gigging with me singing before I met Bill. He joined and I stepped back from the mic. I always wrote everything and gave the other players their parts to play, including Bill. No he did no writing nor did any of the other members of Rapidfire. Thank you for your question.

It seems that the production costs for the perks would be a decent chunk of change. I'm definitely interested in the $100 package once you decide to add the fans names inside the CD. People don't buy CD's that much anymore so incentives give them a reason to spend money on a product. Edited May 2, 2014 by xGNRxSTARx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinLawrence Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I predict 200 pages, 12+ months, and no release.Mods: Please don't delete this post.I sure hope not. Its mixed and mastered and coming out if I can only run 500 at a time. I understand your pessimism but I assure you I plan to release it after all the Kickstarter stuff is done. Whether we fund or not. While I cant predict the future, I plan on a 2014 release for sure. I hope to prove you wrong so anyone who wants to can enjoy a piece of musical history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gunns Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Kevin what do you think of Slash in 2014?Your thoughts on him as a musician and a public figure?Same question for bill bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinLawrence Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Kevin, get ready for a barrage of intimate questions. I can't understand what could bother Axl by having his first reocordings released. I want to believe it's not a money issue. I think it's a control issue. Certainly not money. All the members get paid their performance royalties including Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I should add, Kevin that current Gn'R management has been known to read this Forum. So all the people in the previous thread who said you were in it for money and betraying Axl are probably hoping to get in management's good graces and get some party passes aka backstage passes by dissing you.Axl is my favorite singer so the chance to hear his earliest work seems pretty cool.

I just saw the video and now I understand all the porn references made by Gunns. We have a guy named Snake-Pit who wants to work in porn.
