Mikey Whipwreck Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 When CD was released there were an additional 18 tracks that were basically done. Maybe not in Axl World but in the general sense. That definitely includes Hard School, Silkworms, Atlas, Perhaps, and State of Grace. I don't know if it includes further fleshed out versions of Nothing or Eye On You, or a reworked Oh My God. But let's say for the sake of conversation that it does. That means there are at least an additional 10 "finished" songs out there. The General and Soul Monster among them. Probably Quick Song too since there were scratch and backing vocals in 2000. Also the version of Zodiac 13 from the locker specifies "no vox" so presumably there was a version with vocals at least partially complete in 2000. It's also known, as evidenced by the existence of Better and This I Love, that they wrote stuff not in the locker. Unfortunately I don't think we'll hear much else anytime soon unless it leaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else is there to discuss, though? It's a freaking forum. Bullshit is the point. That's all we're doing here. That's all any of us are doing here. Do you think there's gonna be some huge news broken in this thread that your eyes will somehow pass over and you'll miss out on because of Pele's posts? If anyone doesn't like the BS, why not simply try to avoid it and post in another thread? Maybe starting your own thread about a different, fascinating GN'R-related topic and see how it goes? Make a cool thread and I'll be happy to post there. Otherwise, I couldn't care any less about GN'R's anti-social media thread or toy trucks.

Very productive use of their time and informative and entertaining for the rest of us. I guess it's another effective way to feel good about oneself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendador Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Do you guys think that the 2019 leaks had anything to do with them not releasing anything "new" or "reworked" besides "Absurd" and HS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been here since at least 2004 (I think I remember having an account here even earlier than that. I believe the board was reset at some point?), I definitely wouldn't characterize myself as someone who pops in now and again to talk about how boring GN'R is, although, I'm admittedly not as engaged here as I was from the early aughts to around 2010 or so. Having said that, how productive and informative is it for one to point out how lame someone's opinion is? It's the same empty calorie trash heap no matter which side of the mountain you're standing on. Edited November 2, 2021 by oneway23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all I had to avoid the forum because he contaminates every thread. Imagine everybody would avoid it, you and Pele were alone here. I do my best not to respond because that's just feeding the troll and I think it's the best acting the same when it comes to you. Who are you? His mother? What's wrong with you both?

So...feel free to discuss GN'R, but, only in the manner in which we see fit. Database codes are infinitely more interesting. Let's return to those.

You have every right to do so, of course. What, exactly, am I "shitting on"? Certainly not Guns N' Roses. You don't know me from Adam, but, I guess you're right. I stole my buddy's sister's Appetite tape when I was 8, had GN'R on a birthday cake when I was 10, drove my wheelchair in Manhattan for four nights in 2006, walked around on canes until my legs were burning, with my wife and I enduring a wild mosh pit up front in our wheelchairs on night one (Robin dove over the rail, directly into our laps during the encore and I kissed his forehead after thanking him for sticking around...), all because I want nothing more in my life than to shit on GN'R for my own amusement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneway23 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Quick funny story about that 2006 Hammerstein run - this one's especially for the old-timers - since we're looking to change the subject. I'm sitting in the balcony for night three, right? Now...I can walk up and down steps, but, standing upright going down steps at shows can be really daunting for me. Anyway, struggling to maintain balance, holding onto the rail, when a seemingly random dude runs up, grabs my arm, literally holds my hand, and walks me down to my seat. That seemingly random dude? darknemus! Yes, a truly chivalrous gentleman, indeed! Edited November 2, 2021 by oneway23 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
