Axl S Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 If The World had been mentioned previously and leaked in Summer before album released. Shackler's Revenge only became known as a title when it appeared on the tracklist for Rock Band 2 and then shortly after that it leaked but until then it had never been heard of before. This I Love had been talked about for years. Scraped was literally the only track on the album where the title hadn't been mentioned before and didn't leak prior to release (apart from the actual leak of the album a week or two before release). Although it's previous title Lies They Tell had been mentioned prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Blackstar said: No, it was the opposite, according to Axl. It's two different quotes: Axl: Well, you don't know what the fuck I went through to get that guy [Slash] to play [November Rain and Estranged]. You don't know about the argument we had at A&M studios, because Duff and Slash came to me going "We're not gonna do that song Axl, we're not gonna do this song, no, no, we're just not gonna do it..." [Pepsi Arena, Albany, NY, USA, November 27, 2002] Axl: [....] the only way that we were able to even survive as a band was to make this double thing, you know, like Slash's solo record, Izzy's solo record, and then I wrote stuff, but I mean, I had the phone calls of calling these guys going: "I'm not doing yours, if you don't do his!", and then calling Izzy and saying: "I'm not doing yours, if you don't do his!" "And I'm not doing either of yours, unless we do mine, and we'll do mine last!" But, it was that kinda fight for years. [Eddie Trunk's Friday Night Rocks, May 6, 2006] It was the first quote I thought about when writing my post. I always assumed it was about Axl trying to convince Slash and Duff doing the ballads and offered them doing their songs instead. Reading the second quote it sounds like Slash didn't wanna work on Izzy's songs and vice versa. Probably Axl meant he worked hard getting UYI done and it wasa little bit of everything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Axl was happy with half or more of CD2 as it was before Slash and Duff rejoined, so he gave them the songs that still needed work, or ones he felt they would fit best.

Every chance he just doesn't like some songs anymore, or prefers them as they are for release on a CD box or to be kept back as a nest egg for his TB fam when he's gone. None of us are in the camp so we don't know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 My question is, what does a "few months" mean to Slash? Trying to be optimistic it means at some point during the next two months of the tour, but it's vague enough that it could extend to next spring/summer when the next tour starts.

AxlRoseCDII Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Typically, a few means 2 to 3, so I’d like to interpret that by the end of 2022, but also it’s GNR, so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 In the spring, Slash said new music was releasing “as we speak. It’s been half a year. So when he says “a few months,” it probably means maybe 2024. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we gotta ask ourselves is if GNR is cool with dropping a single when they’re not on the road. Most normal bands do that, and I don’t think anyone would think it’s a big deal, but Absurd and Hard Skool were being rehearsed very frequently during the buildup. I hope that doesn’t have to be a precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think his “assumed happiness” outshines his desire to have an original GNR member leave their mark on the songs. It’s more likely that Slash was handed the songs that had completed vocals. However many that is. I’m guessing it’s a paltry number, that probably doesn’t sit well with Slash on many levels, but he deals with it as the money is just so damn good.

How does one become such a badass mf like you? By sticking and cheering for a band for 33 years and being mislead, teased to the point of exhaustion, and watching concerts that are becoming poorer and watered down. Or songs that looked better on demo versions like "silkworms" and "hardskool" being butchered. But you'll get there. Please, take all my comments with a grain of salt, I'm south american, way too much emotional for GNR; we Brazilians and Argentinians are part of the "crazy-lunatic-hardcore-cossplayer-fan-base". Forgive me, If I'm heated sometimes, I used to be obessed by them, to worship them, posters all over the wall type of thing, but got to the point where I think: FUCK, WHY ALL THESE WRONG CHOICES (WHICH SEEMS ON PURPOSE) WHEN YOU COULD BE THE BIGGEST MUSICAL ENTITY IN THE WORLD AND YOU JUST KEEP TARNISHING IT! Just to give you an example, LIVE ERA is a complete mix of Las Vegas with Paris and a couple other songs. THEY WILL RELEASE THE LAS VEGAS CONCERT IN A BOXSET WITH THE SAME MIXES, ONLY LIVE! We already have that. A live video for "You Could Be Mine" (AWESOME!!!), we got a "live collage" with costume changes. It is misleading, and it has always been. There's so many rarities that have being used for the UYI boxset, which could be mixed with TSI record (that features at least 5 unreleased songs, just to give you an example "BEER AND CIGARETTES" from Hanoi Rocks), as they did with Lies in the AFD box set and released on Christmas. Don't even get me started on the same setlist shit. I saw 7 shows with the SAME setlist, on the seventh they included Reckles Life and SOYL. My comments are just my emotions talking, take no ill.

I think he likes the idea of tweaking as it’s an excuse not to release music. I don’t believe there are any songs that he won’t rework.
