He's still been friendly with Slash for a while though. I wonder if it's from when they were trying out singers after Scott was out. It could even be from when Scott was still in the band and they were writing for the third album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 3 minutes ago, Kelmi said: I rented a copy from Finnish library and it was a hard cover leaked version. It had all the RRHOF, Snakepit, Heidis, Axl drug story etc. So the leaked version can also be found hard cover. Yes, I guess the publisher had printed copies of the original version before Matt decided he wanted to edit it, so when the book was finally released officially, the hard cover versions were from that first batch.

I was somehow under the impression that he changed something in the chapter about the RRHOF, but I checked again and it's exactly the same in the two versions - he has kept it all. The stories about Slash having someone else do "his dirty work for him" (having Matt get rid of the Buckcherry guys) and firing one of VR managers behind Matt's back are also intact. He has changed some parts in the chapter about Snakepit (the bolded has been edited out): I guess this was the moment when I stopped really trusting Slash. But at the same time, I also came to accept that side of him; I now know exactly who he is. Back then, though, I wasn’t expecting it, and it really hurt me. I was really bummed out about the whole thing, because I genuinely thought we were going to form something new on our own. But instead, it just became his solo project. We went into his house and he played me the record. I knew I didn’t like the singer after just one song, and I told him so. “I think he sucks.” “Come on, man,” Slash said. “Let’s try another song.” “Here’s what you can do, Slash,” I told him. “You can replace my drums with some other drummer, and take my shit off that fucking record.” Wonder what he has against Eric Dover? They basically made a very gnr sounding record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Matt decided to embrace the "Frankenstein" approach, so drums, bass and guitars are old and the vocals are new The King Of Chaos album will be released late next year, so I guess it hasn't been recorded yet. Gilby is a member of Kings Of Chaos currently, but he's not on this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the axl drug story mentioned earlier I have highlighted the main stories that have been edited out a few pages back: Plus: - Most of the chapter about the reunion (and the conversations between Matt and Duff). - Big parts of the chapter about the events that led to Matt's firing. - The Stephanie Seymour story. - Most of the stories about groupies etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess at some point Matt might do some interviews about it and maybe we'll find out the answer then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Slash would write more songs that sound like they come from that album. I was really surprised by Whatever Gets You By on 4, it sounds like it came straight off of Five O Clock Somewhere instrumentally. All other Slash albums don't sound like it, there's a nasty edge to it. Also Matts drumming on Neither Can I is probably the most groove-laden playing he's ever done, he didn't play like that on any UYI track.
