Best I’ve ever heard Axl sound at a large venue and especially outside. Anyone that says different wasn’t there. 6 hours ago, Kwam09 said: Man this show was something else. They sounded tighter as a band and Axl seemed much happier than when I last saw them in 2016. This is the best show I've seen of theirs since 2006 and I was not really expecting that! Really happy it was a sweet show! Did you guys get any vids by chance? Trying to find Perhaps from last night....I guess folk still asleep and may upload on joining the land of the living...

That actually did the leaking...because he accepted that cheque from GNR not to leaks right? The Rolling Stone article hints heavily at who actually did the leaking.

For the later leaks, yeah, but this bit stood out to me about the initial leak: Quote According to Dunsford, that night he found Madeline at a computer with the thumb drive and worried she was trying to send tracks to MSL, who hadn’t invested. Dunsford snatched the thumb drive and slept with it under his pillow. (In an interview, Madeline claimed, “I wasn’t really involved in any of that stuff.” Shortly after, she ended that call.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How water tight was their deal with him, was it just a cash in hand mob deal, otherwise, couldn't they do more than ban him from gigs (unsuccessfully apparently) and actually sue him for breach ?

I'm honestly surprised somewhere deep and dark online, there isn't an underground Rick-like army of folk willing to storm Axl's home and take Beta hostage until the passwords are given for all the drives and safes of music! We're Cray Cray! Has anyone looked into other sacked A&R men that were around the time of the recordings in the 12 other studios used to record Chinese?? 😏 - if they were smart, they did an internal investigation to plug all these with letters to last employees i'd imagine.... 3 minutes ago, Blackstar said: I guess they didn't want the fuss.

The press didn't care all that much about leaks from the CD era, so GN'R had no reason to make a fuss about it themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, true....but if the plan had been before that new material was to come from these tracks, it would certainly of been an issue....we don't know for sure but the one good thing old Rick may have done, is remind Axl of these tracks and to get them out, as there's a history, when something leaks, Axl sees it as a starting gun to put the song out in the next 10 years or so....General FINALLY breaks that trend!

It was an issue, but it would have gotten much more attention if GN'R had handled it differently, and I don't think they wanted that.

Appetitefordiscussion Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 To those who weren’t there, check out SLITHER on YouTube. He fell and played it off in the coolest most Axl Rose way ever. I remember my heart sinking when Madagascar was played. Never heard that one, even when I saw them with NuGuns. Truly, a special song. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl may or may not be on meds, but why would falling down have to do with that? He slips and falls (statistically) about two or three times on each tour. Slash has fallen twice on this tour, too. They're on stage, they move a lot, and they have gotten older. It can happen. Edited August 28, 2023 by Blackstar 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty weird Rick is still a fan of this band and going to their concerts when he feels they have treated him so poorly. Maybe he thinks it's an act against some injustice but I find it creepy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no expert but I’m saying it’s plausible he’s taking some happy pills in order to keep his psyche in check to continue this feel good money making tour with Slash. I also feel whatever he may or may not be taking is affecting his singing ability as well. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B5Redeye Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I got to hear live so many songs I’ve never hear live before. Perhaps, TIL, PTU, Bad Obsession, Madagascar. I can’t wait to go to the FL show. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
