Oh, thanks. In a way, that makes it even more ridiculous. Why would they put OMG on a new album now. But we could ask the same about Hard School etc. Nevermind.

Axl said he was unhappy with the final form during his chats, but I don't think it belongs on a new album, especially with there being so many other unreleased songs no one has heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was more like a demo and they didn’t take it too seriously. I do like the song, though, always have. But both these tunes are roughly from the same year, so regardless of the "single" status of OMG, which no one remembers today, I don’t know how I’d feel about these songs being on the album. On the other hand, if something from the NuGuns era should be there, why not these ones, right. It’s just that we already know them, and I’d prefer something completely unknown. I'm just riffing here. Anyway, I’m not paying any more attention to Reddit attention seekers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) 6 hours ago, Voodoochild said: Tobias all over the place, but no Robin and/or Buckethead? Actually I think this is the one thing that does makes sense and makes it "believable". Paul Tobias, although there is the history with Slash, SFTD etc., was kind of part of the classic GnR family tree early on, since the band had recorded two songs co-written by him. That would make his presence as a co-writer on an album marketed as "reunion album" more "legitimate" (and even acceptable by Slash) in comparison to an album featuring songs co-written by Buckethead and Finck. 1 hour ago, jamillos said: Oh, thanks. In a way, that makes it even more ridiculous. Why would they put OMG on a new album now. But we could ask the same about Hard School etc. Nevermind. Again supposing it's real for fun's sake: It doesn't have to be OMG, it could be something from the same sessions OMG originated, in which Riggs had participated. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, OMG wasn't co-written by Freese and Stinson (only Rose, Reed, Tobias and Riggs are credited as writers). Riggs, as already mentioned by others, was Dizzy's friend and roommate at the time. But his story goes a lot back, he was the drummer in Dizzy's pre-GnR band Johnny and the Jaguars/The Wild, who lived next to GnR in the Gardners rehearsal space in 1985. In 1994/95, when GnR wasn't doing much, Dizzy (obviously to keep himself busy) was jamming with a loose club band consisting of old friends/bandmates, like Riggs, and friends of their friends. I guess most of those guys were struggling financially, so it seems Axl put them on a salary and got them to rehearse in the GnR studio with Paul Tobias, and if they came up with an idea he liked, he would use it for GnR. Chinese Whispers has called all that the "shadow band" or "shadow company," but I prefer not to use these terms because I think it makes it sound more serious/important than it really was.

allwaystired Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Blows my mind that anyone would or could consider the possibility this is real! Just LOOK at it people! Geffen logo badly superimposed, details wrong, release date a wednesday, the inclusion of a random setlist and guitar pick....and shoved on Reddit by someone who has never posted before. Not to mention the fact....what the fuck is it meant to be in the first place?! Honestly, if you give this one even a second thought then the let-down is on you. A bit depressing really that even one person, after all the bullshit trolling, time wasting, weirdos and false information we've been subjected to over the years, would give this obvious fake a second thought.

I didn't follow reddit either before the whole thing with Fernando, and then the leaks, started, so I don't know much about how it's moderated etc. From what I have seen, it has also happened in threads that had to do with the leaks and the war between "insiders"/hoarders, which makes sense. Maybe this picture of the supposed "new album" track list was reported as fake and the poster was asked to delete it. But the OP in the thread where someone just asked Fernando for an update on the album and Fernando replied "it's coming along" and all the other stuff has also been deleted by its poster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
