GNR 2020!!! They can do what they want. They don't make music just because fans want it you know. You're so self-entitled to think that they should make music for "us fans". They don't owe you anything. Etc etc. Incredibly, that's exactly the sort of thing some people trot out!

"GNR Demos Reel 3" 3 takes of a song called Machine Gun, and a track called Tooth Puller. There's also the Duff & Izzy '95 tracks and some West Arkeen stuff.

I wonder if it's the same thing, but I know for sure that Slash and Frank (and I guess Duff too) were playing Hendrix' Machine Gun in that soundcheck in Mexico. I think I remember seeing this picture before, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. Is this a DAT collection from Zutaut's vault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the full story, but apparently some guy owned a storage warehouse and had all these tapes. He told a "fan" about it, and that "fan" alerted management, and they picked up all the tapes the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As VoodooChild said above: "So he converted all the DAT tapes into digital and somehow also got videos (betacam? vhs?) of those rehearsals? And he didn't offer any proof?". There has been no proof for 99.99 per cent of rumours read here or anywhere else online. No-one ever bothers to offer proof....because 99.99 per cent of the time there is none. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that; is there another clip with just Slash? There’s another clip of just slash playing it for like one sec at that rehearsal. It was right before they started one of the other songs. Can’t remember which one, tho... YCBM, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine Gun and Tooth Puller are among the Duff/Izzy 1995 tracks (it says it on the label in the picture: GnR demos April 1995). Dizzy had mentioned Tooth Puller as one of the demos Izzy had written. This seems to be the only GnR related tape. Most of the stuff in this storage space seems to have been Duff's vault, like the West Arkeen stuff, demos with Marc Lanegan etc. Actually it was mentioned in an interview Duff did with Susan when they were promoting her book. They said that Duff was informed about the tapes, he collected them and moved them somewhere safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
