meadsoap Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) It's probably fake, yeah. But my one question still remains about where the artwork is from. That would be the first good looking cover art I've seen from them in 20 years, if it was real. Maybe they made it themselves. If they did, I wish they would make all the covers from now on lol.

I would have been pumped if they could get a new song in a movie, like Axl did with Oh My God. Axl said he loves movie soundtracks, so we know he's passionate about it too. Maybe we'll see it someday! To your second point, Slash did make the original artwork for the one of the gnr logos. I would be interested in what he would draw now. He's clearly talented.

There is a lot of fanmade artwork out there and now with AI it's easier for someone to make it if they know what to do. And the fact that it doesn't come up on google image search, doesn't mean that it's original, e.g. I don't think Instagram posts are included in the google results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art looks wayyy better than what AI usually makes imo. You could be right about the IG thing. I think a talented artist did make it, but no way to know if the poster didn't steal it from someone's fanpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those couple of fucktards in that earlier video have reawoken the trolls! And to think I thought they were just an animated movie that Timberlake soundtracks these days!

Yeah, but that sketch was done when Slash was a child. It was a pretty cute gesture by Aerosmith to include Slash's childhood drawing of them in the liner notes I'm curious if Slash as an adult does any art though. If he does, i guess it's something he likes to keep to himself. Edited August 12, 2023 by meadsoap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arian Buhler did the artwork for the recent releases (where there was actual artwork and not just graphics), like the AFD and UYI boxsets, so it's almost safe to assume that it would be him again if that thing was real. Maybe someone should ask him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that made me pause is that someone in the comments pointed out that the artwork seems to be original (no pre-existing images of it online). So if that's true (I did not check myself) it's either officially made.... or it's a troll who spent a lot of time making it themselves. Both possibilities are bizarre enough to keep me entertained lol The picture and the user's comment are taken straight from a 4chan post that didn't take off: https://boards.4channel.org/mu/thread/117759348/guns-n-roses-plans Edited August 13, 2023 by Live Like a Suicide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veon Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) If this is true, the most interesting tidbit is that it’s nearly 15 seconds shorter than the leaked demo. There goes the dream of additional verses/vocals haha! Edited August 13, 2023 by veon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Why is it so much shorter than the demo and soundcheck? Could that be why it got delayed? They trimmed it down? Or maybe this is a radio edit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
